Background

The NBA Finals is the annual championship game of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Eastern and Western conference champions play a best-of-seven game series to determine the league champion. The winning team of the series receives the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, which replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy in 1983.

ESPN’s History with the NBA

ESPN is a United States-based global cable and satellite television channel that is owned by ESPN Inc., a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company (which operates the network) and the Hearst Communications (which owns a 20% minority share). ESPN broadcasts primarily from studio facilities located in Bristol, Connecticut.

The network was founded in 1979 by Bill Rasmussen along with his son Scott, and originally focused solely on broadcasting sports events from Connecticut colleges. In its early years, ESPN also broadcastNews and sports highlights. However, by the mid-1980s, the focus had shifted to live sports events, including Major League Baseball games, National Hockey League games, and NCAA football and basketball games. In 1987, ESPN began airing primetime sporting events such as Major League Baseball games on Sundays.

The NBA on ESPN

ESPN is the exclusive home of the NBA Finals this year, so fans will be able to watch every game on the network. The NBA Finals will air on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC.

ESPN has been the home of the NBA since 1984, when it first began airing games. Since then, the network has aired NBA games on Wednesday and Friday nights, as well as on Sunday afternoons. In addition to regular season games, ESPN also airs the NBA Playoffs and The Finals.

The NBA Finals will air on ESPN beginning on June 1st. Games 1 and 2 will air on ESPN, while Games 3 and 4 will air on ABC. If necessary, Game 5 will air on ESPN, while Games 6 and 7 will air on ABC.
