The final portion from the 2022 NBA Playoffs are now days away from finally getting underway. The 2022 NBA Finals presented by YouTube TV will start on Thursday, June 2 at 9:00 PM (ET) as Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics visit Chase Center in San Francisco to face off with Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the championship series. The 2022 NBA Finals will be exclusively televised on the ABC broadcast network.

ABC will be the home for the NBA Finals game coverage for the 20th straight season, dating back to the Nets-Spurs NBA Finals series in 2003.

ESPN's lead commentary team of Mike Breen (play-by-play), Jeff Van Gundy (analyst), Mark Jackson (analyst), & Lisa Salters (sideline reporter) will be on hand in San Francisco and Boston to work each and every game of the 2022 NBA Finals. For Breen, Van Gundy & Jackson, this Finals assignment adds to the impressive numbers for this broadcast team. For Breen, this Finals will mark his 17th providing the play-by-play (2006-present). For Van Gundy, these Finals will be his 16th serving as a television analyst (2007-present). For Jackson, this Finals will be his 14th serving as a television analyst (2007-2011, 2014-present). Breen, Van Gundy & Jackson will serve as the Finals commentary trio for the 14th time, a truly astounding number.

Lisa Salters returns to the sidelines as the NBA Finals sideline reporter, after previously holding that duty for the Mavericks-Heat series back in 2006.

NBA Countdown, ABC's official pregame show of record, will air 30 minutes before each and every game of the Finals. The studio team of host Mike Greenberg, analysts Jalen Rose, Stephen A. Smith and Michael Wilbon will work their first NBA Finals together. Insider Adrian Wojnarowski will contribute when needed.
