Google Video Streams NBA Games

By Nate Mook | Published January 26, 2006, 2:21 PM

Google bolstered its library of video content on Thursday, adding game footage from 30 NBA teams. Users can purchase new and classic games for viewing on their PC at a cost of $3.95 USD each. Content from the NBA joins music videos and classic TV episodes, which can be streamed on demand for between $1.99 and $3.99.

"When people say, 'Wow, Kobe scored 81?” or 'Nash went for 20+ points and 15+ assists… again!' – now you (and I!) can reply, 'Yep – just caught it on Google Video.' So come watch the greatest players today play some of the greatest games ever," wrote Google Business Product Manager Nelson Cheng on the Google Blog.

hmmm...

If:

They no longer clip some of them 30 minutes before the end of the game, no longer start some of them 5 minutes into it, and have cut out the commercials.

It *may* begin to appeal to some folks over pirated material they can get 60 minutes after the game, in hi-def, beginning to end with zero commercials.

They may have improved since I last tried their service, but they had a *long* way to go. I mean, they just started (finally) metatagging their shows properly...
