 My Hawks fan experience was terrific except for parking and the security metal detectors that took way to long to get through, the NBA Jam game played at halftime over the Phillips Arena full court made up for it.

Sports Techie, I attended my first professional basketball game last week since the Seattle Sonics left to OKC and witnessed the surging Atlanta Hawks dismantle the New Jersey Nets at Phillips Arena thanks to complimentary tickets provided by the ticketing team who want me to purchase season tickets next season. My Hawks fan experience was terrific except for parking and the security metal detectors that took way to long to get through, the NBA Jam game played at halftime over the Phillips Arena full court made up for it.

Brooklyn native Marv Albert, will call his 20th NBA All-Star Game and provide play-by-play commentary for the game, while analysts Reggie Miller and Chris Webber, and reporters David Aldridge and Rachel Nichols, provide entertaining hoops analysis.

NBA digital business is booming and NYC is ready to showcase the ASG fun all weekend long to fans all across the nation. I will root on the three Hawks named to the east squad. Who are your favorite players this year and all-time superstars? Let us know below as a blog comment or on any of our social media network links below.

Enjoy NBA All-Star BKN NYK 2015 on TNT via your TVs, smartphones, tablets and computers.
