NBA releases $6.99-per-month streaming service for live games and shows

[eliteballer]

The National Basketball Association is launching a streaming service on Tuesday that lets people pay a monthly or annual fee to access more than 100 live NBA games, past programming, and original shows.

The subscription service is a direct-to-consumer version of NBA TV, the television channel managed by the NBA and Turner Sports, which like CNN, is owned by WarnerMedia.

In addition to live games, subscribers to NBA TV will have access to programming like pregame show "The Warm Up," nightly show "NBA Crunchtime" and weekly franchise "Shaqtin' A Fool." The app will also offer old games, including NBA Finals games from 2000 to 2019.

NBA TV costs $6.99 per month or $59.99 per year. The app is accessible on connected devices like Roku and Apple TV and mobile devices. The service is also available on NBA.com for viewing on a web browser. People who pay for cable can access the app's content by signing in through their pay TV provider.

Why would anyone pay to watch OTHER PEOPLE play basketball? Makes no sense unless it's LeGod

So it’s just NBA TV games? Anyone whose seen NBA TVs lineup of games know it’s a lot of scrub teams they show. Think I’ll pass. If League Pass didn’t block Laker games out they would have had my money by now.

No amount of money is worth it when majority of the games are blacked out. NO THANKS.
