NBA League Pass Streaming Moves Closer To Real Time This Season
Beyond the updated League Pass experience, the NBA is also offering new documentaries and classic games in the app, as well as a new whip-around show on Monday nights that will be free to anyone. Called CrunchTime, the new stream will function similarly to the NFL's popular RedZone channel and offer viewers live look-ins to "crucial moments of each game."
If one of the incumbents lost their license it's likely to send tremors throughout Macau´s gambling industry as the companies have collectively invested more than $50 billion in the past two decades, are tied closely to the economic fortunes of the former Portuguese colony and employ tens of thousands of people.
The driver is understood to have been an accomplished off-road driver who knew the site 'like the back of his hand', with roll-bars fitted to the off-road vehicle said to have prevented an even greater tragedy.

Similar to MLB.TV or NFL Sunday Ticket, NBA League Pass allows you to watch live, out-of-market basketball. Out-of-market means that games in your local area are blacked out, so a fan in Los Angeles, for example, would experience blackouts for any Lakers game airing on a local sports network. Games that air on ESPN, ABC or TNT are also blacked out on League Pass.
New for this season, the NBA TV channel is also included with both packages. Last season it charged a $30 premium for the channel, which airs some national NBA games during the season in addition to daily basketball-focused shows.
HONG KONG, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Malaysian group Genting has emerged as a strong contender to unseat an incumbent Macau casino operator for a new license, analysts and executives say, unleashing possibly the biggest shakeup in the world´s largest gambling hub in over two decades.
It would cause "far too much disruption" if any of the six operators were replaced, said Terry Ng, an analyst at Daiwa in Hong Kong, although other industry watchers note the incumbents have left themselves vulnerable to an operator like Genting which lost out on a Macau licence in 2002.
Only six slots will be available for the seven applicants, Macau´s government has said, as Genting Malaysia goes head-to-head with the six concessionaires Sands China, Wynn Macau, Galaxy Entertainment, MGM China , Melco Resorts and SJM Holdings as their concessions expire at year-end.
The NBA offers League Pass as a standalone service that can be viewed in the NBA app, which is available on a host of devices and platforms ranging from iPhone and Android phones to tablets, smart TV platforms, game consoles and other streaming devices. You can also get League Pass as an add-on to your cable or satellite package.
Latency is a measure of how responsive a connection is. Streaming live content often sees a delay compared to traditional cable, satellite or antenna broadcasts, which can range from a few seconds to a full minute. When it comes to watching live sports, a long delay could leave fans susceptible to spoilers from fantasy or gambling apps, messages from friends or http://avtoban.Lv/user/Partred5 tweets from Twitter.
"They have a strong chance to topple one of the incumbents...and Genting would have been encouraged to come in. With their background it makes a lot of sense," said Ben Lee, founder of Macau gaming consultancy IGamiX.
The NBA has some good news for streaming basketball fans looking to avoid spoilers while watching NBA League Pass. The league has revamped the NBA app for the new year, including reduced latency. That means those streaming games will be viewing the action closer to real-time alongside friends watching on traditional cable television.
Earlier the league announced it would lower the cost of an NBA League Pass package to $100 for the upcoming 2022-23 season, or $15 a month. That's half-price compared to the $200 it charged for a full season a year ago. A Premium option, which ran $250 last year and allows for two people to watch at once, as well as show in-arena feeds instead of commercials during timeouts, will be $130 this year, or $20 a month. All options have a seven-day free trial.
Genting´s strong non-gaming track record, including operating two of the largest theme parks in southeast Asia, would be a big draw for Beijing which has been urging Macau to diversify away from gambling and attract foreign tourists.
