By Allison Romano -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/17/2003 3:00:00 AM

So, who is really good enough to play pro basketball?

That's what Reveille, National Basketball Association production arm NBA Entertainment and Original TV will be looking for with a co-produced reality show, Who Wants to Be an NBA/WNBA Star?.

The reality/talent-search show, which should be ready for mid-2003, will follow NBA and Women's NBA hopefuls as they prepare for a chance to try out for an NBA or WNBA team.

Obvious outlets for the reality show could be the NBA's TV partners -- Turner Network Television, ESPN/ABC and NBA TV.

ESPN and ABC are said to be interested in the show.

Reveille is a partnership between producer Ben Silverman and Universal Television Group.
