Spike TV and NBA Entertainment have teamed up to produce a new, original, one-hour series delving into the behind-the-scenes world of various NBA first-year neophytes in NBA Rookies. The six episode series features 2004/2005 NBA Rookie of the Year Emeka Okafor (Charlotte Bobcats), J.R. Smith (New Orleans Hornets), Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76ers), Devin Harris (Dallas Mavericks), Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic), Jameer Nelson (Orlando Magic), among others.
NBA Rookies will chronicle the roller-coaster journey that each of the featured subjects endures -- from the nervous anticipation of the NBA Draft to the arduous practices in training camp, to the early season struggles to the glitz and glamour of the NBA All Star Weekend, to the late-season playoff push and beyond.
NBA Entertainment's omnipresent cameras will show candid moments including Jameer Nelson finding out he's been traded to Orlando from a group of fans at Madison Square Garden; a sneak peek into Philadelphia 76ers's draft-day war room led by General Manager Billy King; and Emeka Okafor struggling in a pre-Olympic practice with the NBA elite.
The series also features rarely seen footage of NBA legends in various innocent rookie-welcoming hi-jinks including Shaquille O'Neal donning Mickey Mouse ears upon arrival in Orlando and a then-rookie Scottie Pippen horsing around with veteran Charles Oakley in Chicago.
Don't miss the NBA Finals coming in June
