The Best of the NBA presented by State Farm series continues with another historic Wednesday night NBA doubleheader.  Beginning tonight at 7 p.m. ET, ESPN will re-air Game 4 of the 2008 NBA Finals where the Boston Celtics, famously led by “The Big 3”, make an incredible comeback in a rivalry series against Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Following that matchup, beginning at 9:30 p.m., ESPN will re-air the title clinching Game 6 from the 2008 Celtics-Lakers series, where the Celtics, featuring a spectacular performance from Rajon Rondo, dominated the Lakers in a 39-point victory. This was the Celtics’ 17th NBA Championship and their first since 1986.

Prior to the games, Hoop Streams will be live on Twitter and the ESPN App beginning at 6:30 p.m. with host Cassidy Hubbarth, analyst and member of the 2007-08 Boston Celtics Kendrick Perkins and analyst Amin Elhassan, to reflect on the 2008 NBA Finals. Doc Rivers, coach of the 2007-08 Celtics team, is expected to join the show. All shows will be available on YouTube upon conclusion of the live show.

The remote in-home edition of NBA Countdown will be available on ESPN’s YouTube page Tuesdays and Thursdays with host Maria Taylor and analysts Jalen Rose, Paul Pierce and Jay Williams. This past Tuesday, the cast recapped episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance and deep dived into what it takes to keep championship teams together, in the wake of Draymond Green’s comments about Kevin Durant’s final season with the Golden State Warriors.

NBA Countdown’s “I Love the 90’s” YouTube series continues this week as ESPN analysts and commentators reflect on NBA moments that made them love basketball in the 90s.

I am a senior publicist for men’s pro sports, working predominantly with the NBA and FIBA properties. I’m a Jersey City, NJ native, so I cheer for all New York sports and athletes, win or lose. I began my sports career as a small forward for JCPS #9’s elementary basketball team, and then years later gave up my hoop dreams (sort of) to work as the Public Relations Coordinator for the New York Knicks. Prior to working in sports, I briefly worked as an intern turned production assistant for the Wendy Williams Show. I earned a B.A. in Communications from Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, where I met my husband Matthew, and later attended New York University to earn a M.S. in Public Relations and Corporate Communications. I am excited to continue my sports journey with some of the most knowledgeable professionals in the sports industry.
