How to watch the NBA in the era of parallel imports - Bank shot - Blogs

The NBA has done everything in its power to make it impossible to enjoy American basketball in Russia. However, if you really want something, then any prohibitions become conditional.

Here are at least five ways to touch the beautiful (and now also the forbidden).

NBA League Pass

The most convenient and traditional way is to purchase a subscription on the official website of the NBA.

Benefit : You get access to all matchday matches (both live and recorded), plus shortened versions of the matches with original English commentary. This year, League Pass has a nice new feature: the delay between real time and the broadcast will be reduced to a few seconds.

Disadvantage: it is rather problematic to subscribe in Russia. To do this, you need to have, firstly, a VPN with good speed, and, secondly, a non-Russian card with which you can pay for the subscription.

“Took the ball”

When Megogo, which owns the exclusive rights to broadcast the NBA, abandoned Russia, it naturally happened that the channel's Russian commentators continued to work, only within the framework of the “Took the ball” project.

This season, the telegram channel "Took the ball" shows 1-2 matches every day: last season, when the project started from scratch, the broadcasts attracted 2-5 thousand viewers with record numbers during the final series.

Advantage: The main advantage of "Took the Ball" over its competitors is a team of experienced and well-known commentators. Project boss Dmitry Materansky managed to unite everyone who has experience working at Matcha, Viasat or Megogo: Vladimir Gomelsky, Igor Znamensky, Vladimir Spivak and Andrey Pankrashev.

Disadvantage: "Took the ball" is clearly not chasing the quantity, but offers those matches that are considered the most interesting, so you can not always see your favorite team here (especially if you are a fan of some Detroit) . The project does not even cover absolutely all playoff matches, at least that was the case last season.

You also need to understand that the “Took the ball” commentators are not always perfect either. Young representatives of the project do not always quickly figure out what is happening on the site, experienced ones promote expert opinion (often controversial and annoying to many) right during the games, and all together they sin with monotonous humor (and endless jokes on Sergey Abaev), from which you quickly get tired.

Despite all the power of production and the best conditions, "Took the ball", supported by the bookmaker, could not completely get rid of the main problem of import-substituting broadcasts: technical problems periodically occurred during the first season, and even Spivak's unstoppable irony at such moments the situation is not strong brightened up.

AANBA

The founder of online broadcasts in basketball is the legendary Volodya Korvalol - it was with him that the All About NBA project began in 2013.

“At first we streamed on the VK platform, then GoodGame, then VidiTV,” says Anton Kuzmichev, project manager. - The peak of those years is 15,000 spectators on Vidi during the 2016 NBA Finals, the same ones where Cleveland made a comeback from 1-3. At that moment, one of the funny episodes is that the servers of the VidiTV company fell, and they “asked” us not to post broadcasts for such volumes. So, in fact, not only the news, but also the broadcast branch of our project, which has been running for 7 years, started.

AANBA showed 65% of matches last season and plans to aim for 70% of matches in Russian and 10-15 in English next season.

The AANBA audience ranges from 500-1000 spectators at night matches and 2000 to 5000 at morning matches. The most popular game of last season is the first in a series between Boston and the Nets. It was watched live by 12,000 people

Advantage : “First, volumes. Secondly, commentators, - explains Anton Kuzmichev. “We have a pretty diverse staff of casters. Each of them carries its own informational agenda. Regarding the work of commentators, we often talk about the moments where they need to improve, because without this the comments would stagnate, but we are not satisfied with this situation. One way or another, almost all the actors see themselves as future professionals, although even now our approach is close to this. Another important episode of our work is the absence of donathunting. Since, in fact, commentators receive money from donations, we regulated them. Several left-wing people left the staff of commentators, who not only abused support, but also spoiled the organics of the broadcasts. This is no longer possible to meet in the expanses of aanba during the last season. This is all the more so."

Weakness : AANBA has two main problems that are typical for self-grown projects on the Internet.

The first one is hanging broadcasts, which sometimes slow down at the most interesting place.

The second is commentators without a professional school. They sometimes forget about what is happening and focus on donations. Many of those who are involved in commenting on matches at AANBA work at games of provincial Russian basketball clubs or amateur matches, but there are no people of the level and fame of Gomelsky, Materansky and Znamensky here.

Anton Kuzmichev says that they are working on both: “I think that without NBA broadcasts on public TV, the basketball fandom has no future. Any rights cost money. And it is not very clear how you can recoup the night spot on paid subscriptions. If suddenly such a topic is revived in Russia, then we would be happy to fly into it. The idea of ​​"pirates" in the eyes of the public is slightly different from what is happening now. We ourselves used to sin with amateur comments with a share of peppercorns, but current trends have forced us to reconsider our position. In order not to lose the audience, we left something of our former self, the ability to communicate with a chat, for example, and significantly added in the technical aspect, focusing on immersion in the sport. ”

Wild Sport

The Wild Sport VKontakte group started eight years ago with NBA broadcasts, but gradually mastered more and more other types of basketball. In addition to several matches of the NBA game day, almost the entire Euroleague is shown here (last year - 85%), friendly and official matches of the national teams, several matches of the national championships, with the exception of the VTB League (Spain, Turkey, and this year also France).

In live mode in the Wild Sport group, the NBA final was watched by 2-3 thousand spectators, the EuroBasket or Euroleague final - by 3-4 thousand spectators. Regular matches gather from 300 to 1000 people.

In total, the matches, according to the management of the group, get about 10-15 thousand views.

Advantage: “I think it's the commentators,” says project manager Andrey Levy. - Our studio is quite professional in this regard: many commentators work on television (or have worked on television), they are people with great experience. Plus, we regularly invite such wonderful guests as experts, such as Ivan Lazarev, Mikhail Terekhov, Anton Ponkrashov, Maxim Grigoriev, and other guys. We talk about basketball not only from the point of view of play-by-play, but also from the point of view of tactics, analytics, and some interesting facts.

There is certainly a future for the NBA basketball fandom without public TV coverage. People have been moving away from television for a long time and do not watch television in the modern sense. We follow the US principle. There is national television, there is local television, but a lot of time people spend on online platforms where they buy subscriptions and enjoy life: TNT and ESPN. This is more convenient than when you turn on the channel and they impose on you the match that you are watching. In Russia, it all develops thanks to ideological people who promote themselves. Will it get more financial support? Not sure. But as for the people who are interested, I think yes. For example, we basically do not work with bookmakers, we believe that if a person wants to support, then he does not need to buy a subscription, he can directly support the commentator and the studio. It seems to me that now it is a good platform to give content. Not only in the form of matches, but also in podcasts, documentaries and articles.”

In fact, the main advantage of Wild Sport is that most non-NBA basketball is broadcast here.

Flaw : "I think it's the commentators" could also be the Wild Sport's major flaw. After television broadcasts, the style of commenting on the Internet can be very embarrassing or at least seem unusual - especially when users' opinions and questions are counted right during basketball, the roll call of cities begins or donations are counted. One of the foreign coaches of the VTB League looked at the Wild Sport match of his national team and remained at a loss: “Five facts were mentioned - and all five are wrong. ”

Standard lags in broadcasts are also present here.

Topbasket

Since last season, the most popular Youtube channel about basketball in Russian has a special telegram where broadcasts of NBA matches are posted with the original sound track. Usually during the season there appear three or four of the most interesting matches of the game day.

advantage: English (if you know it) and emphasis on the most interesting. Topbasket focuses not so much on an attractive sign, but on the quality of the spectacle. Therefore, noteworthy games of some “Houston” and “Oklahoma” get here, if they managed to give out a sparkling ending or comeback, go into overtime or put a winning baser.

Disadvantage: English (if you don't know it) and no live broadcasts. Matches begin to be uploaded in the morning Moscow time (approximately at 9-10 o'clock), and there is no way to follow your favorite team in real time. Plus, you have to make some efforts not to find out the result in advance (apparently, with these goals, a separate channel was allocated for matches).
