ESPN 3D Adds the NBA Finals to the Lineup

Select playoff games will also be getting the 3D treatment.

Since February 14th, ESPN 3D has been running nonstop. As you might imagine, the lack of readily available 3D content means you're getting a lot of repeats. Things will be heating up later this year though, when the NBA Finals add a new dimension.

ESPN has broadcast six NBA games thus far and is planning on a few more before the season draws to a close. In addition to several games of the NBA Playoffs, an additional four regular season games will be broadcast.

The Finals themselves kick off on June 2nd and run until June 16th, so you have a little bit of time left to save up if you're planning on seeing the games in 3D.

YouTube in Talks to Stream NBA to Asia

Google says they're working with most professional sports leagues.

The folks over at Google are an ambitious bunch. Their plans don't always work out, but that doesn't mean they're not going to give it a go. The latest idea - streaming sports on YouTube.

According to Brian Suh, who heads the YouTube Partership at Google Korea, the company is in talks with most pro-sports leagues including the NBA and NHL. That's a pretty huge deal, but there's just one thing you need to know before getting excited.

The current plan is only to stream those games to Asia, which YouTube already does for Major League Baseball games not picked up by another network. Of course, there's no reason why popular Korean sports like soccer, baseball and StarCraft couldn't make their way to the states through YouTube streaming.
