Story Highlights
The live-sports altcast ranks continue to grow with TNT Sports becoming the latest to join fray. TNT Sports - in collaboration with NBA 2K and Genius Sports - will offer an immersive NBA 2K25 DataCast viewing experience on truTV and Max during he Knockout Rounds of the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup. The NBA 2K25 DataCast becomes the latest entry into a busy altcast slate for December, following ESPN's Simpsons Funday Football NFL broadcast on Dec. 9, NBC's EA SPORTS Madden NFL Cast on Dec. 21, and ESPN's Dunk the Halls Disney-themed NBA presentation on Christmas Day.
NBA 2K25 DataCast presentations will be available during all of TNT Sports' 2024 Emirates NBA Cup Quarterfinals and Semifinal live game coverage.
The NBA 2K25 Look: Shot Meter, 2K Badges, Official 2K camera Angles Viewers will see NBA 2K25 overlays such as the iconic Shot Meter, 2K Badges, official 2K camera angles and more, with split-second game insights powered by Genius Sports' GeniusIQ - including player tracking, shot probability, and shot distance - embedded throughout the telecasts. The first-of-its-kind alternative viewing experience will feature contributions from Vince Carter, Candace Parker, Channing Frye, Adam Lefkoe, Kirk Goldsberry, and others.
This alternative telecast will be available during all of TNT Sports' 2024 Emirates NBA Cup Quarterfinals and Semifinal live game coverage and will blur the lines between the video game and the real NBA experience.
Fans that tune into all NBA 2K25 DataCast broadcasts will also have the opportunity to redeem six total NBA 2K25 Locker Codes each unlocking an Amethyst MyTEAM pack, allowing players to choose one of 11 NBA superstars to build the ultimate MyTEAM lineup. Users must have NBA 2K25 and there is a limit of one per 2K account (available for a limited time and terms apply).
Diving Deeper into Data NBA 2K25 DataCast broadcasts will build on TNT's ongoing data-focused alternative broadcast efforts. In May, TNT Sports' NHL Western Conference Final coverage included the first-ever NHL DataCast powered by AWS, an analytics-driven alternative broadcast available on linear television on truTV and streaming on Max.
Then in October TNT Sports featured the MLB DataCast throughout the entire ALCS. The analytics-driven alternative broadcast experience on truTV and Max took fans deeper inside the game of baseball via data feeds from StatCast, Inside Edge and Ross Video. This included individual player batting, fielding and pitching trends, analysis of player strengths and weaknesses, as well as real-time custom graphics and 3D renderings of the biggest moments of the series.
Other TNT Sports alternative broadcasts have included the NHL on TNT Chiclets ALTCAST in February, NBA All-Star Game ALTCAST Presented by Jordan Brandlater that month, and the MultiVersus NHL Face-Off in April.
The NBA on TNT Goes All Out in Vegas for NBA Cup Quarterfinals action will tip off with a doubleheader on Tuesday, Dec. 10, with the first game starting at 7 or 7:30 p.m. ET. Brian Anderson, Stan Van Gundy and Jared Greenberg will be on the call for the traditional telecast onTNT and Max. Later at 9:30 or 10 p.m., Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller, Candace Parker and Allie LaForce will call the second game of the evening. Game times and matchups for the Quarterfinals Round will be finalized later this week.
TNT Sports' 2024 Emirates NBA Cup coverage will culminate on Saturday, Dec. 14 with the Semifinal opener, starting with an expanded hour-long NBA Tip-Off presented by CarMax pregame live on-site in Las Vegas at 3:30 p.m. Game coverage will follow at 4:30 p.m., with the game-call team of Anderson, Miller, Van Gundy and LaForce.
The Emmy Award-winning Inside the NBA presented by Kia studio team of Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O'Neal will provide pregame, halftime and postgame analysis throughout the week's coverage across TNT Sports' platforms.
All NBA telecasts on TNT and truTV, as well as pre and postgame coverage, will also be available to stream on Max's B/R Sports Add-On.
