TNT, home of exclusive coverage of the 2008 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 17, parades into the Big Easy for this year's All-Star festivities with robust plans to bring fans just a mouse click away from All-Star coverage that can be found only on NBA.com. Today the network is unveiling

TNT OverTime All-Star Access on NBA.com, an amped-up version of its popular broadband channel, TNT OverTime, that for the first time ever will offer LIVE streaming coverage during NBA All-Star Saturday Night and the 2008 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday to compliment TNT's television coverage of the events. Additionally, the channel will host an interactive "Fans' Choice Poll" that allows the audience at home to pick the players that All-Star Access cameras follow during the NBA All-Star Game, with a different player from the East and West being isolated live each quarter.

Legendary artist Michael Bivins will expand his weekly correspondent role for the channel, serving as the daily host of TNT OverTime All-Star Access, providing viewers a behind-the-scenes pass to official All-Star events and the hottest celebrity parties throughout the weekend.

TNT OverTime All-Star Access tips off its live coverage on NBA All-Star Saturday Night featuring a live show hosted by Bivins and NBA TV analyst Andre Aldridge who will provide stats and highlights and will respond to fans' questions via a LIVE chat room available on the live player page. The additional live feeds on the All-Star Access video player include:

• Robo Cam -- offers a bird's-eye view from a camera that is attached to the backboard. As players are flying sky high during the Slam Dunk Contest, the robo cam will capture the perfect viewpoint of their acrobatics.
• Scoreboard Camera -- is positioned strategically underneath the scoreboard to provide fans a high level view inside the arena.
• Cable Cam -- showcases a unique perspective as the camera zips up and down the court during the night's events.
• Mosaic View -- offers a simultaneous look at the camera angles and the live, online show all at once.

On Sunday night, TNT OverTime All-Star Access pulls out all the stops by allowing fans to have their say in the camera feeds using the "Fans Choice Poll," an online poll that allows viewers to vote on which Eastern and Western Conference All-Stars the cameras follow on two separate feeds. The two dedicated cameras will follow the fans' choice for an entire quarter and will change players at the end of each quarter, showing a total of eight players during the game. Whether the All-Stars are in the game showing off their skills or on the bench enjoying the game and joking with the other players, the TNT All-Access cameras will follow them. Also on Sunday, the live coverage includes an All-Star show hosted by Aldridge, the Cable Cam feed and Mosaic View.

In addition to live footage, TNT OverTime All-Star Access will also showcase on-demand content such as historical footage of past All-Star games, analysis from TNT's marquee announcers, replays of the TNT NBA studio shows and an inside look at the many All-Star parties in segments hosted by TNT OverTime correspondent Michael Bivins.
