OK. I’m there. It’s official.
Kevin Harlan and Kenny Smith and Sages and LeBron. Four of my favorite NBA personalities will be calling the game, and what’s even more exciting is that LeBron’s good buddies Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade will be coaching the sophomores and rookies, respectively.
Oh, and to make things even better, LeBron and Harlan will certainly talk about Harlan’s famous “NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE” call, which is quite possibly the best call of a dunk ever.
