Marc Stein is taking his talents to Amazon Prime Video.
Stein has joined Amazon’s NBA coverage as an editorial contributor, the network confirmed to Front Office Sports. Stein’s role will be off-air, making sure facts and figures are journalistically sound before they are discussed by the studio crew and game announcers on-air. It is a similar role to what the legendary late ESPN insider Chris Mortensen used to hold with Amazon’s NFL coverage.
Stein has been covering the NBA for more than 30 years, including previous jobs with ESPN and The New York Times. He currently operates “The Stein Line” subscription outlet with deep NBA reporting, which has grown to be large enough that he added fellow NBA insider Jake Fischer to the staff.
Amazon kicks off its NBA coverage on its Prime Video streaming service Friday, with a doubleheader featuring Celtics-Knicks and Timberwolves-Lakers. Elsewhere in the journalism department, Amazon also recently added Chris Haynes as an insider and Athletic NBA reporter Marcus Thompson for on-air feature stories.
