On Christmas Day, ESPN will broadcast a unique animated version of the NBA game between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks, utilizing Sony's Beyond Sports Technology to recreate the action in Disney's Magic Kingdom's 'Main Street USA'. The broadcast, titled 'Dunk the Halls', will feature iconic Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck, who will engage in pre-game and halftime activities including a slam dunk contest. This family-friendly telecast will air on ESPN2, Disney+, and ESPN+, alongside the traditional broadcast on ESPN and ABC. Drew Carter and Monica McNutt will call the game, with Daisy Duck serving as the sideline reporter. This innovative approach aims to attract younger audiences by blending sports with entertainment, continuing the trend of alternate broadcasts that ESPN has previously explored with other sports events.
