Tyrese Haliburton
December 2025
Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, rehabbing an Achilles tear from Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, will join “NBA on Prime” as a player contributor, sharing behind the scenes content on his recovery and offering analysis across the season, starting with Tuesday’s NBA Nightcap broadcast. Haliburton says he wants to counter overly negative, narrative driven talk shows by joining Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, Udonis Haslem and host Taylor Rooks to highlight modern players positively, explain tactics more clearly for casual fans and add a current locker room perspective to Prime’s studio coverage.
A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces)
September 2025
NBA legend Dwyane Wade claimed WNBA star A’ja Wilson could beat some NBA players 1v1, citing her intelligence, footwork, and versatility. Wilson, a three-time MVP and two-time champion, continues to build a case as one of the greatest women’s basketball players ever. On Lou Williams’ podcast, Wade argued many male pros rely on athleticism, while Wilson’s skillset and basketball IQ could expose them. While hypothetical, his comments highlight her dominance, raising her profile beyond the WNBA and sparking debates over cross-gender matchups.
