you’re confusing league pass with the regular amazon streaming games on Thursday night or whatever, they are two separate things.

I understand that the games Amazon just bought are separate than NBA LEAGUE PASS. You can watch LEAGUE PASS on Amazon and those League Pass games will cost extra.

And I’m not talking about the games that are broadcast on TNT with Ernie and Chuck. I’m talking about the games on League Pass, someone needs to build a studio, film the games, make the halftime show etc. that someone is TNT. The NBA doesn’t make all that themselves because they didn’t have studio space, cameras or the know-how to do it themselves so they contacted TNT to make that for them.

Just like all the shows on Amazon aren’t actually made by Amazon.

  With all due respect you have no idea what you’re talking about because this is 100% false. League pass has NOTHING to do with TNT. League Pass is a collection of LOCAL media streams. League pass does not even show halftime, pregame or anything like that, it is just the in-game feed from local markets.

    IDK, you brought up NBA LEAGUE PASS.
    
    Maybe you are confusing League Pass with NBA TV which is operated through TNT.
    
    I thought they came together. Does the NBA have two separate streaming services? Is NBA TV like an actual cable channel?
