Courtside Live
Courtside Live takes fans into the arena and immerses them in the universe around an NBA game. Of course, you’ll have no problem watching the main broadcast picture on Courtside Live.

Available on all platforms — but mobile is particularly cool! — seamlessly jump around multiple behind-the-scenes feeds and make it feel like your couch is on the court. This is a highly-personalized experience any basketball fan will appreciate.
