$180 for October 30th - June? That's a fair price, in my honest opinion. Ill purchase that.

Also, this past season, they started a new thing where every playoff game is uploaded for on demand replay. It's the national broadcasts, of course. But if there's a classic game, or if you miss a game, you can watch later.

I enjoy LP. I just like tuning into random games and seeing what's out there. Gives me a better sense of the league, outside of what ESPN feeds you.
 
you really liked that sticker dunk though? i don't know, it was a pretty ordinary dunk with lilttle degree of difficulty

also, i feel mj may have been giving low scores as a means to protect his own legacy somewhat

But, I feel that it's a potential waste of money. I had league pass over multiple seasons and the way games are paced now, it goes like this... 1st quarter close, 2nd-4th quarter, one team has a big lead, then depending on the game usually it gets close in the 4th then another team pulls away. I got tired of that formula so I stopped ordering it. That and in conjunction with what NBATV offers with fan night and their live look-ins, you don't necessarily have to get LP. Who wants to watch a Bucks/Raptors game in it's entirety? Highlight of said game are fine.

it's not about the dunk it was the novelty of the sticker and his facial expression on the sticker

. At this point, no dunk is innovative and it's all stale. Might as well do some other stuff to make it entertaining.

Also, to add in twitter provides streams of virtually every nba game for every team. If you truly want league pass for free, that route is much much cheaper.

Whenever a certain game is about to start, just twitter search bar "Raptors vs Knicks stream" (Or whatever teams you want to watch) and links/streams should pop up. One of those links will amount to a stream to said game. Has worked verrryyy well for me for like the past 3/4 years :lol:

I get what you're saying, and I used to go that route (and even championed doing that). But I just don't sit in front of the TV (for anything, not just NBA). I like having games at my fingertips. And the league is at a point now where there are enough "League Pass teams" to make it worth it. That's just me though.

Edit: I mean, I sit in front of my computer, and would rather watch games on there.

True. That's the essence of LP though to more closely follow the teams you want to see.

@Shoeking, I had no idea twitter does that, I think I have to look into that this upcoming season

Boooo Lebron and his fugazi promise and

 @ Dwight for that extra smedium jersey

Can't believe people actually thought LeBron would ever compete in one.

It sucks, too. He's always considered himself to be above All-Star Saturday festivities, which is a disservice to the game. Jordan, Kobe and Dr. J (all Top Ten players) competed in dunk contests. Hell, Larry Bird went out and competed in three point contests just because he wanted to prove he was the best (and won the first three). LeBron was so worried about his brand that he wouldn't subject himself to that stuff. I know it's because he knows he couldn't win a dunk contest (he's not creative). But at least make it interesting, and have people tune in.
