They've been advertising the Friday and Saturday events for a while so I think we'll definitely get those. Looks like we'll actually get the All-Star game this year as well, though historically I've preferred TNT's broadcasts (and before that, NBC).

It's been on TNT for some time now , and I've been bombarded with All-Star commercials while watching Seinfeld on TBS so I'm pretty sure it will be on TNT. I also think all the events are on TNT , including the slam dunk competition and rookie-sophomore game. The games will be broadcast on ESPN Radio though.

As for NBA on NBC that was probably one of the best television presentations of basketball I have ever seen. When I got hooked on basketball in 2000 I remember the NBC broadcast and their catchy theme song. In fact , I have the NBA on NBC theme on my mp3 playlist :wink: . NBA on ABC / ESPN isn't as good as the presentation done by NBC.

It ain't just 22, it's 53 on cable buddy. I wish we got the celeb game.

On a different note, one of my friends is going to the game. He told me and I was just like :shock:

tendodweeb, did you actually read Andrew's post?

We get the Rookie game, all-star saturday, and most likely the actual allstar game.

And for the record, tnt in america boradcasts the game, here in australia it will be on tnt, probably just using the tnt broadcast though.

What i miss is after every foul call, they would show an immediate replay, to see if it was legit or not. Thats somthing espn/abc never does.

ESPN Australia will, since they do rebroadcast games on other networks. During the playoffs last year they had some TNT games as well as various FSN broadcasts.
