The Jemele Hill and Michael Smith takeover is expanding to All-Star.
ESPN will televise NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2017 on Friday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m. ET from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, La. The annual game features stars from film, television, music and sports. This year, Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, co-hosts of SC6 – SportsCenter’s 6 p.m. show – will serve as the guest coaches for the West and East teams, respectively. The telecast will also be available to stream on WatchESPN and the ESPN app.
Mark Jones, the voice of the NBA Sunday Showcase on ABC, will provide play-by-play for the telecast, alongside Michelle Beadle (NBA Countdown, SportsNation), who will call her first Celebrity Game.
Cassidy Hubbarth will join Jones and Beadle as the sideline reporter.
Should be fun, no Kevin Hart this year UNLESS he makes a special secret appearance.
