Amen Thompson, the first-round pick of the Houston Rockets, got into trouble after making a sarcastic remark about NBA League Pass’ expensive costs during a recent news conference. The room full of reporters, who were all too aware with the realities of pricey streaming services, connected with Thompson’s humorous take on the league’s streaming service.
Thompson, who grew up watching basketball and invested in NBA League Pass each year, couldn’t help but point out the high price tag attached to the service. “I always grew up watching basketball. I had [NBA] League Pass every year, it’s a little overpriced but…” Thompson’s statement was met with laughter from the reporters, who shared in his frustration over the increasing costs of digital content.
NBA League Pass, the official streaming service of the National Basketball Association, offers an unlimited plan priced between $14.99 and $19.99 per month. While this may seem like a reasonable expense for dedicated basketball fans, Thompson’s humorous remark highlighted the ongoing concern about the affordability of streaming services.
Given that the NBA has been fighting to maintain profitable ties with various streaming companies, Thompson’s remark is likely to raise some eyebrows within the league.
