NBA: Five Must-See Teams on League Pass in 2016-17
By Drew Clark
Every year, NBA fans shed money from their wallets to get the best viewing experience possible, being able to watch any team they want at any time (barring blackout restrictions).
When thinking of the teams that could qualify on this list of eight, I considered the number of national television games each NBA team plays, along with other things such as comedic relief, exciting players, and/or the visual experience of uniforms and courts.
I have excluded the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors from having a chance to make this list. Obvious top dogs, and play a combined 71 national televised games. The Warriors and Cavaliers watching experience is clearly superior compared to any other NBA team.
If you have NBA League Pass, I’d suggest not using it to watch these teams as you’ll get plenty of opportunities to do so.
Each team will bring their own entertainment value, whether it be comedic or pure basketball talent, its my job to help you sift through the unwatchable games.
The Brooklyn Nets may be the only team in the league that has absolutely nothing intriguing about them. Their court is cool, but unless we see the sequel of Linsanity last for a whole season, there shouldn’t be too much Nets exposure to basketball enthusiasts, unless they’re a Celtics fan.
With league popularity at an all-time high, the NBA is in fantastic shape. Nearly every team has an interesting aspect to them in the coming season. Some may be because of a young, budding star while another team may be compelling due to a brash, vocal star part of a bad franchise.
