But it hasn't been what they are really trying to monetize. I'm talking about making the NBA streaming the primary way to watch the NBA.
make no mistake. if the NBA could have developed revenue streams via online that rivaled the ESPN contract, they would have done it already. why keep the middle man?

Streaming hasn't been ready yet, but that day is coming. There's a reason cord-cutting is still growing.

Although the man may have a point....didn't MLB partner up with SlingTV or PS Vue to offer MLB Network via the OTT service? I wonder if it would be financially beneficial for the NBA to do something similar with DirecTV Now....honestly OTT is about to blow up (even more than it already has) with Google (YouTube), Hulu, Verizon, etc entering the market.
