Whoever said sports and superheroes don't mix hasn't heard about ESPN's upcoming Marvel spectacle. A mind-boggling mash-up, I tell ya!

ESPN is gearing up for its "first-ever Marvel-inspired alternate NBA telecast," as a press release announced. This event will presumably be unfolding during the upcoming Golden State Warriors versus New Orleans Pelicans game, scheduled for May 3 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Buckle up, folks! This isn't your average basketball game.

Gameplay will share the stage with a Marvel storyline, featuring live-action 3D characters and animations. The lineup includes Iron Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Captain America, Black Widow, and Doctor Strange. Three players from each team will step into the superhero limelight, vying for "Marvel Hero points" based on their performance. Word on the street is that Warriors' stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are part of the action.

The storyline? Well, after defeating an alien army, the Avengers face a new threat. Realizing they need reinforcements, Black Panther and Iron Man form a plan to enlist Marvel's Champions from Earth's greatest athletes. The NBA elite, then, becomes the battleground for selecting the newest members of this extraordinary team.

But hold your horses. We have a few tweaks. Why not make things a bit more... Marvel-y? Thanos' dripping, leering head could serve as the ball. Rapid disappearances of players mid-game? Sure, why not. But instead of half the players disappearing, imagine half the entire arena vanishing. Ghostly signs for the ill-conceived #BringBackTonyStarktoLife campaign would pop up all over, bringing chaos to an already thrilling game.

This all-out sport-superhero spectacular will be streamed on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN+, and ESPN Deportes. ESPN, if you're game for some feedback, our contact info is Gizmodo.com. Come on, ESPN, let's make it a Marvel-ous experience, shall we?
