We report an angular resolved photoemission study of NaxCoO2 with x approximately 0.73 where it is found that the renormalization of the quasiparticle (QP) dispersion changes dramatically upon a rotation from GammaM to GammaK. The comparison of the experimental data to the calculated band structure reveals that the quasiparticle renormalization is most pronounced along the GammaK direction, while it is significantly weaker along the GammaM direction. We discuss the observed anisotropy in terms of multiorbital effects and point out the relevance of magnetic correlations for the band structure of NaxCoO2 with x approximately 0.75.
