British sports fans will be able to watch multi-platform coverage of the NBA (National Basketball Association), including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony, and the likes of the Miami Heat, LA Lakers and New York Knicks, after BT Sport and the NBA reached an agreement for exclusively live television coverage of top NBA games and programming in the UK and Ireland.

The multi-year agreement between BT Sport and the world’s premier men's professional basketball league tips off on Sunday December 1, as the Eastern Conference-leading Indiana Pacers, featuring Paul George and Roy Hibbert, take on West Coast rivals the LA Clippers, featuring Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, at 8.30pm UK time on BT Sport 2.

Coverage will include weekly games on Sundays in primetime.

Fans will also be able to access selected games streamed live and for free on the BT Sport website and BT Sport App (available on iOS and Google Play) along with either nba.com and NBA LEAGUE PASS International. Full schedule details of games will be confirmed in due course.

The new agreement will see up to 200 games throughout the season, appearing across BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2 and ESPN. There will be up to seven live games per week throughout the regular season and the first and second rounds of the NBA Playoffs, as well as every game of the Conference Finals, culminating in the NBA Finals in June.

As part of the partnership, fans will be able to watch GB’s Luol Deng and the Chicago Bulls take on the Brooklyn Nets as one of five scheduled games on BT Sport on Christmas Day, making BT Sport one of the few places to go for live televised sport on Christmas Day.

Existing NBA fans will love our coverage, and we look forward to converting many more."

Simon Green | Head of BT Sport

The Nets will face off against the Atlanta Hawks at The O2 in London on January 16, as part of NBA Global Games 2014. The game - which sold out in record time - will be live on BT Sport.

Simon Green, head of BT Sport, said: "BT Sport will be the new home of the NBA in the UK and Ireland.

"The NBA is simply the best basketball in the world. It is fast moving, high scoring and includes some the world’s most recognisable global sporting icons.

"Existing NBA fans will love our coverage, and we look forward to converting many more."

One of the highlights of BT Sport’s coverage will be NBA All-Star which takes place every year in February at the midway point of the NBA season.

A global celebration of basketball, NBA All-Star consists of a variety of basketball events and competitions, including the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and Three-Point Contest, culminating in the NBA All-Star Game.

The All-Star Game pits the league's star players from the Eastern Conference against their counterparts from the Western Conference, with the starting line-up for each team selected by fans from around the globe.

Fans in the UK can vote for their favorite players for NBA All-Star 2014 by visiting nba.com/asb.

BT Sport is the ideal partner to serve as the official broadcaster of the NBA."

Dan Markham | NBA Vice-President, Media Distribution & Emerging Markets

"This is a very exciting step for the NBA and basketball fans in the UK and Ireland," said Dan Markham, NBA Vice President, Media Distribution & Emerging Markets.

"With BT Sport’s first rate presentation and formidable portfolio of premium sports content, fans can now look forward to more NBA action than ever before in the UK and Ireland, including selected free streamed games.

"Through its innovative multi-platform offering of live NBA games, highlights, magazine shows and unique behind-the-scenes programming, BT Sport is the ideal partner to serve as the official broadcaster of the NBA."

Also included in the partnership will be several magazine shows:

  • NBA Action combines weekly highlights and news
  • NBA Inside Stuff will provide fans with a unique insight into the lives of NBA stars both on and off the court
  • NBA Tonight provides an overview of the NBA through interviews and analysis
  • NBA Countdown, the live game build up show before selected games

With Michael Owen hanging up his boots last year to take up commentary, we take a look at some of his finest moments behind the microphone so far...

 

1. Merseyside Derby; Liverpool 4 - 0 Everton. 15 minutes left: "I doubt Everton are going to get anything out of this game."

 

533169e08e386.jpg

 

2. "You need people who score goals, that's how you win games."

 

3. "Jelavic would have scored that if he wasn't offside."

 

4. "Anichebe is just pulling off Jones, which is what I would do if I was him."

Get a room for God sake!

 

5. "He's elbowed him in the head, but there's nothing in it for me."

 

 

6. "It's a good run, but it's a poor run, if you know what I mean?"

No Michael, I don't think even you know what you mean?

 

7. Chelsea's 6th goal went in against Arsenal: "This is turning into a rout."

It turned into a rout a long time before this, it's much, much more than that.

 

8. "What a feeling it is to be a manager and bring someone on."

Reminiscing on nights when he stayed up past 10pm playing Championship Manager 2001/02.

 

9. "Wenger will be quite happy Arsenal haven't conceded."

 

10. "That's simple as... Simple."

 

11. "That would have been a goal had it gone inside the post."

 

12. "To stay in the game you have to stay in the game."

 

13. "City will come out with a fresh set of impetus."

That word of the day toilet paper is doing him wonders.

 

14. "You have to believe your own eyes, don't you?"

I don't even know what to believe any more, Mikey.

 

15. “It’s a nightmare for strikers when defences push up. You’ve got to go with them or you’re offside.”

 

16. "Another goal would be a hammer blow for the Hammers..."

We see what you did there... just don't do it again.

 

17. "West Ham have got match winners on the bench... Nocerino, Carlton Cole."

 

5331705de6310.jpg

 

18. "Gerrard leapt like a salmon."

 

19. "I don't think there was any malicious in the foul, but it was definitely a yellow for me."

 

20. 69 minutes in, Man Utd 1 - 1 Swansea. "It's even, it could go either way."

any of you man pay for BT sports on top of their Sky package?

 

Seen it advertised for £12, when called them up, it's going up in October to about £15, which is calm, but then you have to pay an additional £5 for the HD channels. So like £20 a month for just BT sports...is it really worth it?

so went on their website to order it online an they've bumped me nicely.

 

activation fee - one off payment of £15

 

BT Sport 1, 2 & ESPN - £12 a month, goes upto £13.50 a month on 1st October.

 

Clearly stated that HD channels cost no extra.

 

only once everything was fully confirmed I got an e-maIl laying out all the monthly costs

 

they've added a £5 a month donation to the fuckin supporters club which I never signed up to, and HD channels are only free for 3 months, then its £3 a month.

 

try calling these cunts and they keep asking me for my BT phone number which I clearly dont have so have had to send them an e-mail which could take them 10 days to respond

 

bunch of cunts
