NBA League Pass, the official streaming service of the NBA, ran into technical difficulties on Friday night, and fans were left in a spot of bother.
Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with their complaints as they missed out on two key clashes for Western Conference teams: Nuggets vs Warriors and Lakers vs Pelicans.
“Why is NBA viewership plummeting? – Replied one fan.
“NBA league pass is priced at $110 annually, yet it is down right now and nobody can watch ANY games 🤦♂️.” posted another.
The streaming service, that costs nearly $110 every year was quick to respond to fan queries on X, although the answer from their support account was less than satisfactory.
Amlan Sanyal is a basketball writer at Sportskeeda with more than two years of experience. Amlan has a soft spot for the lovable loser, and years of supporting Leeds Utd, the Seattle Mariners and San Antonio Spurs have made him realize that there’s more to sport than just championships.
Amlan started falling for basketball after watching the San Antonio Spurs in 2012 and 2013. He watched as a collective of veteran legends, underrated misfits and a young defensive stud extended the Spurs’ era of dominance with a team-oriented style, reminiscent of the aesthetic brilliance of 2011 FC Barcelona.
Amlan has supported the Spurs ever since, even after enduring the heartbreaks of Ray Allen’s corner three and several years in the wilderness post-Kawhi Leonard. He hopes Victor Wembanyama will become the face of the league as Pop rides off into the sunset.
When not working, Amlan is a keen quizzer and a podcast buff and can usually be found reading books, watching movies or listening to history podcasts.
