The Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers are playing right now at the Staples Center, and ESPN is going with an unusual camera angle for much of the game. It looks like one of those alternate angles available in video games that nobody actually uses.

An example from the broadcast:

Most viewers aren’t fans of the camera angle.

However, not everyone hates it.

But overall the reaction hasn’t been positive, and ESPN has recently shown that they listen to viewers about such complaints. So it would seem unlikely that this camera angle becomes a normal thing — or at least not a main angle — on ESPN basketball broadcasts.
