The NBA invited local media inside Vivint Arena on Wednesday morning to get an early look at what the venue and some of the events will look like.
There’s a 4,000-square foot stage with 14 million video pixels. There are some 700 extra lights and 51 cameras brought in for a broadcast that will reach 215 countries worldwide. There are the jerseys for the four teams participating in the Rising Stars tournament, and the unique basketballs being used in the 3-Point Contest.
And there was a video introduction for the three-player, three-team Skills Challenge participants that still included Mike Conley on the Utah Jazz. Oops. Otherwise, it was a cool hour-and-a-half peek at some stuff most locals won’t get to see in person.
