Mumbai: Sony Pictures Networks India (SPN) and the NBA today announced that beginning the 2017-18 NBA season, NBA games will be broadcast LIVE with Hindi commentary every weekend on Sony TEN 3 and Sony TEN 3 HD, a package of close to 100 NBA games including the Regular Season and Playoffs. The games will continue to be simulcast with English commentary on SONY SIX and SONY SIX HD.

With the growing popularity of the NBA across the country, this move aims to engage a wider set of fans and enthusiasts with Hindi as their primary language.  The Hindi commentary will be presented by an expert panel of commentators which will include celebrity NBA fans. The commentators have undergone rigorous training to fine tune their abilities in presenting NBA games, which included personalized training by long-time Indiana Pacers’ play-by-play announcer Chris Denari.

The league has also associated with popular NBA and basketball influencers such as Bollywood actor and VJ RannvijaySingha, popular culture stand-up comedian GursimranKhamba to be guest commentators on a regular basis.
