NBA League Pass?

by John Raffo on Oct 12, 2009 4:40 PM PDT

Not sure this is FanPost material, but I've got a problem, and judging by other queries to the site, others are in the same boat: I recently moved out of the LA area and I'm stuck because I can no longer get the Clipper games on local TV, nor can I pickup the radio broadcasts. I want to sign up for NBA (broadband) League Pass but NBA.com says "check back later" or something like that. Am I missing something? Anyone with any experience in this regard? Does League Pass simply not include pre-season games?

I did that...

Got the email that said I would be getting updates… like, “Yay, updates! Oh boy!” But all I want is the league pass, which I’m totally willing to pay for… and then… crickets.

I’m not sure it will work. I’m in Japan, so when I click on it, it takes me straight to ilp.nba.com

It not setup yet probably

If you are outside the US and go to the NBA League Pass Broadband page, it auto directs you to the ILP.NBA.COM page, which is a slightly different service for non-US based people.

This International League Pass has been saying check back later until late last week when the service was available.

You’ll have a different page for US League Pass and I’m sure it’s just a case of the service not been made available yet – just keep checking back over the next few days and I’m sure it’ll be made live.

I live by NBA Broadband League Pass as we get hardly any on TV in the UK.

Bingo! Oh me oh my!

Well, that begs the question...

How, CUK, did you develop a taste for the NBA? As a former New Yorker, I grew up with Marv Albert and the Knicks. Got Clips tix when I moved to LA twenty years ago. Now that I’ve left, I’m shocked at the lack of coverage out here in the boonies… and with the Clips looking decent this year, I’m dying for a taste! And League Pass seems so disinterested… still not availablbe, no preseason streams… can’t get the audio. I’m parking my car on the hills, trying to pick up Ralph on the radio. Pathetic. This is maybe going to suck.

Just loved the dynamic game of basketball even

though we hardly played at school in the UK. Visited the US once and got Clipper tickets and followed them ever since.
Seriously, I’ve followed the Clipps since 2000-2001 and have had to just read recaps and box scores and the little highlights on ESPN until last season when me and a group of Australian NBA fans all chipped in together to buy the International League Pass and wham!!!, it’s awesome.
Yep, you don’t get pre-season and be aware you don’t get the playoffs either – you have to buy that as a seperate package at the end of the season (rip off) but the ability to flick between any games on any given night is just incredible and means that I got to see around 50-55 our our games live last year out of the 82.
For approx $30 US (as we split the cost), it’s great value – my wife becomes a basketball widow though as I have to watch the games on replay the next evening as they are played around 3:30am in the UK so my wife never see’s me!!!

Bingo! Oh me oh my!
