The phrase identifies a method of accessing live broadcasts of National Basketball Association games through unofficial online platforms. These platforms often aggregate links to streaming video, potentially offering free or low-cost access to content that is otherwise available through paid subscriptions or traditional television broadcasts. Such aggregations existed on the social media site Reddit, often organized within community forums, prior to the platform’s policy changes.
The significance of such streaming services lies in their accessibility. They provide options for viewers who may not have access to cable television or official streaming subscriptions. Historically, these methods gained popularity as internet bandwidth increased, allowing for reliable video streaming and simultaneously circumventing established broadcast rights and payment structures. Their impact involves both the increased availability of NBA games and the potential erosion of revenue streams for rights holders.
