Fucking finally.
Or just watch Reddit streams… lol
That’s pretty awesome, but on the pricey end.
So I can pretty much get rid of YouTube tv then
Unless the offer includes 4K streams then not really interested.
I’m an east coast fan, can I get this or do you have to be in the area?
That’s awesome I’m still illegally streaming though… it’s about the principle for me.
So it won’t be for the full season since the season already started lol. A joke.

insane not to have an Apple TV app for it
EDIT: it now appears that this all goes through the NBA app, so maybe this will work natively on Apple TV, i guess i’ll try it out Sunday
Is it just Lakers? Or would it include Dodgers too. Might make the difference for me. Bout time they tried this tho.
They should’ve had this years ago
This is awesome
Still too high. Nearly 50% the cost of Spectrum Select, for one channel. Please
Well I was gonna try a month out but they don’t even have an app on my lg tv. According to this thread you can’t get it through Apple either, what exactly is the point of this?
I’ll still be using streameast for free 99🫡
Isn’t the season only 6 months (Nov to Apr)? Why pay $179 when you can just pay 20 a month for 6 months? Is my math bad?
Depends on the app. If it’s spectrum sportsnet app, then hell no. That app doesn’t even chromecast to the TV and isn’t available on non-phone app stores.
Jesus fucking yes. Paying 200 a month for Directv just to watch the Lakers. But then did a smarter move and got Youtube TV for 75 a month. But THIS, this is all I could ever ask for.
Holy fucking shit yessssss
Is this available now? Does anyone know how I can purchase?
Too much money. Fuck off networks
In Kenya, it costs $38 to watch ALL Lakers games on NBA League Pass.
Awesome.
20 bucks for one channel? Terrible rip-off imo. Nba league pass is cheaper and so is the NBA team pass lol
Here is the sign up page. I was going to start but can’t figure out how exactly I would be able to watch this. If it’s through an app if so which one.
Does it support Apple TV?
That’s pretty pricy (at least also has Dodger games?) but finally glad there’s an option to watch Laker games without a traditional cable package.
Man I asked for this ten years ago.
Will the app feature other stuff too?
My parents pay for cable it doesn’t matter
Lol at all the people who still pay 🤣
That’s $5 more per month than league pass. I’ve wants a stand-alone streaming option for lakers for a long time, but that price point is kinda ridiculous.
Finally!!!!!! Geeeeeezzzzz
Thank God, as long as there aren’t blackouts this will be huge for people out of state/market
I wonder if it will carry the games in 4K like it does on DIRECTV
About. Fucking. Time.
FINALLY!
I hope they do this for the Dodgers too. It’s BS that some local cable providers still do not carry Dodger games.
OH MY GOD
DIS LIKE TUPAC COMING BACK TO LIFE DIDNT THINK IT COULD HAPPEN
I wonder if they’ll do this for the dodgers next season as well.. hopefully, can finally get rid of dumbass sport packages on my bill
Pass. I can’t watch live games so I’d have to record everything. Using direct tv to record all games.
Finally cashing in, should’ve happened as soon as Bron touched down.

Jenie, I’ll be your new marketing executive.
Would multiple logins work?
i miss ballstreams and hehestreams 😭
This is the link btw:

Fyi, Allows only one device at a time
I love life
Anyone know if this works on a computer or do you have to watch on the app?
Yup, I’d buy it for Laker season and scrap it in between. I already have DirecTV but it’s annoying to use the app.
Edit: spelling.
