Bobby Ciafardini '02 Lends Voice to NBA’s World Basketball Festival

Skyline Conference fans of the NBA may have noticed a familiar voice on the association's coverage of the 2023 Nike World Basketball Festival at Lincoln Center last weekend.

Skyline Associate Commissioner and Panther alumnus Bobby Ciafardini '02, often referred to by his stage name "Bobby Cey" – pronounced "Bobby C." – provided the play-by-play commentary (pictured above) alongside ESPN's Monica McNutt and Ros Gold-Onwude. The games were part of the NBA's launch of "Future Starts Now," a new digital program on the NBA App that will showcase the next generation of basketball stars in a centralized location, creating a unique way for fans to follow their journeys at every stage beginning at the high school level.

To tip off the new initiative, the NBA App and NBA YouTube streamed the 2023 Nike World Basketball Festival girls' championship followed by the boys' championship on Saturday, Sept. 16. The tournament was part of a weekend-long Nike Basketball celebration set against the iconic backdrop of Lincoln Center in New York City.
