Mobility Tip: Listen to NBA Games On the Road

Don’t want to miss an NBA game on the road? No problem.

You can sign up for a free account with NBA.com’s All Access account which will give you the NBA Audio League Pass. With it, you can listen to all the current playoff games left.

Just in time for the playoffs. I recently switched programming on my Dish Network and lost TNT (trying to save a few bucks. I didn’t know that was going to happen). So I had to revert to listen to the games on an old Sony Walkman. And in certain parts of my house, the AM reception was just awful so I decided to sign up for an account with NBA.com thinking that I’d have to pay.



To my surprise, I didn’t! Woohoo! All you have to do is sign up for an account. It said it’s free for the 2007-08 season. No word for the 2008-09 season though.

And after the game, if you want to check out the highlights, they’ve got that too, http://www.nba.com/video. To my knowledge, there isn’t a way to watch it online for free.

Having said that, if you have AT&T DSL in your hotel or wherever you’re staying at has AT&T as the broadband provider, you can access ESPN 360 to watch a lot of sports games. So far I’ve managed to watch a few of the NBA games since I lost TNT.

I’m also interested in NHL and MLB games so if anyone else has tips for that on the road, let me know.
