Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor ESPN wants to cash in on the big audiences expected to tune into the NBA Finals, which kick off Thursday evening on ABC.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has a role to play. The rapper, actor and entrepreneur will surface at various times during coverage, largely in pre-taped segments that appear during the “NBA Countdown” pregame show, but also within some game telecasts.
