Easy to pick telecast crew. Not so easy to narrow this team down to 12. Obviously, you will have Kobe, Durant, LeBron, Wade, Howard, D-Rose, Melo, Chris Paul, D-Williams, Kevin Love, Andre Iggy, Tyson Chandler, Blake Griffin (?), LaMarcus Alridge (?), Rudy Gay (?), Eric Gordon (?), Danny Granger (?), Chris Bosh (?), Carlos Boozer (?)

  LeBron James,Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Derion Williams, Kevin Love, Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony are 100% going.
  
  The rest is tough, You got Russell Westbrook, Tyson Chandler, Blake Griffin, Chris Bosh, LaMarcus Aldridge, Al Jefferson and among others with a possible chance of going.

Paulsen just please tell me NBC will use the old “NBA on NBC” theme song which was used in the 2008 Olympic games. The music is epic and fits so well with any basketball.

  Not sure if NBC will break out ‘Roundball Rock’ again this year.
