NBA Goes 3-D With ESPN 3D's Coverage of Heat vs. Knicks Tonight

by Warren Riddle on December 17, 2010 at 03:40 PM

The ESPN 3D channel broadcast World Cup games over the summer and college football games during the fall. Now, the network -- which just released its NBA 3-D schedule -- is ready for some round-ball. The 3-dimensional hard-court coverage begins tonight at 7 p.m. (EST) when the New York Knicks visit the Miami Heat.

The network currently plans to offer 3-D hoops on a somewhat regular basis (typically with one game broadcast per week), and ESPN's official site now provides the specific schedule. That site also lists the requirements consumers need to receive the channel, including hardware and carrier information. To watch, you'll of course need a 3-D television, as well as a DirecTV, Comcast or AT&T subscription (Time Warner customers are out of luck). ESPN's growing 3-D lineup should definitely appeal to sports fan, particularly the NBA followers, but -- given the stagnating (or nonexistent) interest in home 3-D technology -- will anyone actually watch?
