ESPN To Air Alternate Mickey Mouse Broadcast Of Knicks-Spurs On Christmas Day 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Nov 20, 2024 8:33 pm

ESPN will air an alternate Mickey Mouse broadcast on Christmas Day when the New York Knicks host the San Antonio Spurs.


The presentation will utilize Sony’s “Beyond Sports Technology” by recreating the game action of stars like Victor Wembanyama and Jalen Brunson on Magic Kingdom’s “Main Street USA.” Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, Goofy and Chip and Dale will cheer on the players and deliver pretend pre-game and half-time speeches.


Drew Carter, Monica McNutt and sideline reporter Daffy Duck will be the trio on the broadcast.


In 2021, the NBA and ESPN teamed up with Disney Marvel characters for an alt-cast.

Would be cool to watch them have this type of broadcast for past games or past playoff series. Like the 2020 NBA finals for example.
