May 30, 2018

HBO Sports, one of television’s premier storytellers, is teaming up with the Bill Simmons Media Group for COURTSIDE AT THE NBA FINALS, an unscripted one-hour special chronicling the sights and sounds of the 2018 NBA Finals, debuting TUESDAY, JUNE 19 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), with a replay that evening at 11:00 p.m. (ET/PT), on HBO.

The special will also be available on HBO NOW, HBO GO, and HBO On Demand.

Debuting just days after the conclusion of the 72nd edition of The Finals, the show will provide viewers with a unique and unprecedented inside look at the NBA’s championship series, as the Eastern (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Western Conference champions (Golden State Warriors) compete on the biggest stage of the basketball season.

Peter Nelson, executive vice president, HBO Sports, says, “This show will give our subscribers a first-hand look at the nuances of each victory and defeat. We are privileged to team up with the NBA and Bill Simmons for this unique presentation.”

Produced by HBO Sports, COURTSIDE AT THE NBA FINALS will be executive produced by Bill Simmons, founder of the Bill Simmons Media Group, which launched The Ringer in 2015. Simmons joined HBO in July 2015 and most recently collaborated on the acclaimed documentary film “Andre the Giant,” which registered the highest premiere viewership for an HBO Sports documentary in 15 years.
