Last Friday, Carlton Myers celebrated his 25th anniversary working at the NBA. He began his tenure by logging game footage. Now, as the vice president of live production and entertainment at NBA Entertainment, he is helping to lead the league’s virtual 2020 draft broadcast.
“I could have never imaged that,” says Myers, when asked whether he thought he’d ever be quarterbacking a virtual event of this magnitude.
For the first time since 2013, the NBA draft will not commence from Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Instead, on Wednesday evening, it will consist of a virtual telecast with prospective draftees waiting anxiously from their respective homes.
