"Honestly I was just intrigued by this opportunity to really be around the game again. I think I've been out now for over five … almost six seasons now by the end of this season. And, you know, I've always loved the NBA. Obviously I still watch the Mavs all the time. I'm still a big fan. To me this is a good way to be involved still in the game and talk about the game and be part of the game. This is going to be a fun way to talk hoops," Nowitzki said via Stein.

Nowitzki will begin making appearances on Amazon's studio show in October of this year.
