Top media executives attend Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals opener
Disney's CEO, Bob Iger, ESPN's chairman, Jimmy Pitaro, alongside other key figures in the media sector, were seen at Game 1 of the NBA Finals
A group of notable figures from the media world was present at the NBA Finals on Wednesday evening.
Among them were Disney board member Bob Iger, Disney's CEO Josh D'Amaro, ESPN's chairman Jimmy Pitaro, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
These individuals were sighted at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio as the New York Knicks competed against the San Antonio Spurs during the NBA Finals' first match-up.
The evening's announcers, Mike Breen, Richard Jefferson, and Tim Legler, humorously described the group as a "murderers' row of executives" and commented on their stylish appearance.
They remarked that they weren't trying to win over their superiors.
ESPN produces NBA Finals, which is broadcast exclusively on ABC, both under the ownership of The Walt Disney Company.
This marked the Knicks' first advancement to the NBA Finals in over two decades, which drew numerous celebrities to San Antonio including renowned supporters Ben Stiller and Spike Lee.
The evening ended well for Knicks supporters, as the team secured a victory over the Spurs with a score of 105-95.
The second game is scheduled for Friday.
