It features commentary from Kevin Hart and the Plastic Cup Boyz as well as special guest appearances from the worlds of sports and entertainment.

Additionally, Hoop Streams, hosted by Cassidy Hubbarth, will hit the road for on-site pregame shows for the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. Hoop Streams - ESPN's digital NBA pregame show - generally begins 30 minutes before the game and is available on ESPN's YouTube and Facebook platforms and the ESPN App. A variety of guests, including senior NBA writer Brian Windhorst will join Hubbarth courtside.
