From the article:

"The game between the Miami Heat and the Knicksat Madison Square Garden on Dec. 17 will be broadcast on ESPN’s 3-D network, making it the first N.B.A. game broadcast in 3-D, according to N.B.A. and ESPN officials. The network will show eight regular-season games in 3-D during the 2010-2011 season, and another six in the playoffs." ...

I'm going to have to demo this 3-D ESPN channel sometime soon. Can it really be worthwhile? The difference between a film being shot in 3-D and a sports event is that if a scene in a film is shot, and it looks bad in 3-D, it can be re-shot. Can't quite do that with a sports event.
