NBA announces major event at MOA today

THE NBA will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. today at Mall of Asia Arena to announce a major event at the Pasay venue.

Speculations are rife that the world’s most competitive professional basketball league will hold a regular-season game at MOA.

Basketball TV, the only 24-hour cable channel in the Philippines dedicated to covering the best basketball leagues around the world, will cover the press conference live.

For this NBA season, BTV is airing at least one game every day, including the preseason and playoffs.

Since 2006, the NBA, in partnership with BTV, has given fans a more interactive experience by bringing in some of the league’s top players and coaches.

In 2012, coach Erik Spoelstra of the Miami Heat and Brook Lopez of the Brooklyn Nets came to visit for a series of mall tours.

BTV is on Sky Cable 33 and Cignal 44.
