ESPN is close to adding a four-time NBA champion to its talent roster.
The Post has learned that Bob Myers is nearing a deal to join “NBA Countdown” as an analyst.
Myers, 48, was the general manager of the Warriors for their championships in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022, with the added title of president of basketball operations during the latter three.
He stepped down from the Warriors’ roles in late May.
During last season, Myers hosted a podcast, “Lead By Example,” that was produced by Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions and distributed on ESPN’s multimedia platforms.
Prior to working with the Warriors, Myers was an NBA player agent.
An ESPN spokesperson declined to comment.
As has frequently been the case during the past decade, “NBA Countdown” is going to look a lot different next season.
The Post’s Andrew Marchand first reported Wednesday that Malika Andrews will be replacing Mike Greenberg as host of the program during the NBA Finals on ABC.
Analyst Jalen Rose, one of the fixtures of the program in the last 10 years, was let go by ESPN in the network’s recent round of layoffs.
As also first reported by Marchand, ESPN has also changed around the top announce team for the first time in years.
Doris Burke and Doc Rivers will be replacing Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson alongside play-by-play broadcaster Mike Breen.
