First NBA in Brazil...

And they have Neil Funk and Stacy King calling the game... from the studio? Seriously? I know King can't be too happy with this arrangement, missing out on the non-stop down in Rio. Man that sucksss...

It's really commonplace in sports today. They probably took the feed from Brazilian TV. It would cost a fortune to send the announcers, plus technical staff, get the equipment locally to match with the usual stuff they have. For a pre season game? It was on TV be happy.

Ever watch a Formula One race on Speed, or now NBC Sports Network? The three announcers are in North Carolina, watching the global feed supplied by F-1, only the pit reporter travels with the series to the races.

The NBA had made a deal with Brazil's networks for promotional reasons.
