The landscape of media consumption has transformed dramatically, especially with the rise of streaming services. Fans resonate with the simplicity of yesteryear when flipping through channels was all it took to find a game.

The NBA's reliance on League Pass has left many feeling like they're gambling on whether they'll actually get to see the stars they love play. When organizations prioritize player rest over fan experience, it leaves consumers with a palpable sense of dissatisfaction.
