Mike Greenberg Replaces Maria Taylor as Host of ESPN’s ‘NBA Countdown’

Mike Greenberg is heading to primetime

Greenberg, 54, will replace Maria Taylor as the host of ESPN’s "NBA Countdown," according to the New York Post's Andrew Marchand. Greenberg will reportedly be joined by Stephen A. Smith, Michael Wilbon, Jalen Rose and Magic Johnson throughout the 2021 season.

Taylor left ESPN at the conclusion of the 2021 Finals before signing a contract with NBC. She previously served as a star of ESPN's "College GameDay" in addition to her work on "NBA Countdown."

Taylor's exit from ESPN came after controversy regarding comments made by ESPN's Rachel Nichols.
