ESPN/ABC's NBA Christmas Games Get Special Streaming Experiences

ESPN today will unveil details for its slate of five NBA games on Christmas. The cable net's three games will feature alternate viewing experiences on ESPN3/WatchESPN, including NBA Surround DataCenter, which will highlight graphic displays of in-game data and stats. ABC's two games also will have an alternate streaming experience, with NBA Surround Multiview featuring different camera angles. Spanish-language coverage of the Clippers-Lakers game will get a boost, as ESPN2 will simulcast ESPN Deportes' call of the game in the 10:30pm ET window. As previously announced, Magic Johnson will make his return to "NBA Countdown" crew on Christmas after leaving the net in '13, while Michelle Beadle will make her Christmas hosting debut on the pregame show. All five games will also feature a new open with music from recording artist Holidelic.
