Stuart Miller NBA stars Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Jaylen Brown and NCAA standout Angel Reese would make a great group of starters on the court. But when the quartet gathers in Los Angeles on July 13, they won’t be shooting hoops — they’ll be talking about the shifting landscape of athletics and media at Variety’s Sports and Entertainment Summit. Alongside fellow athletes like Olympic snowboarder Scotty James and UCLA quarterback Chase Griffin, the summit lineup also includes executives including Rosalyn Durant, exec VP and head of programming and acquisitions at ESPN; Jon Cruz, global head of sports partnerships at YouTube; and Karin Timpone, CMO at MLB. They’ll discuss everything from game programming and coverage to personalizing immersive experiences for viewers.
