Spurs games on DAZN, for example, are available across Texas, except around Dallas and Houston, where Victor Wembanyama acolytes can instead use League Pass. In many places, a single team is blacked out on League Pass, but things can get more complicated, particularly in states without teams. In Warren, Arkansas, the Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks all offer their local games, while those teams’ games are unavailable through League Pass. Across the state line in Monroe, Louisiana, it’s the New Orleans Pelicans, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks who can plant their local TV flags. There are two regions where four teams compete, in parts of Oregon (Trail Blazers, Kings, Warriors and Jazz) and California (Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, Kings), according to analysis from online sports viewing guide EntitledSports, meaning those teams are not available through League Pass in those areas. A hypothetical NBA obsessive in Hanford, California, without cable or satellite TV, would need to spend more than $400 on local streaming services—in addition to accessing national TV games—to watch every NBA contest this season. A fan in Pullman, West Virginia, or New London, Connecticut, on the other hand, can watch every non-national game via NBA League Pass, no regional service needed.

The booming trading card world fascinated NBA veteran Mo Bamba from the jump when simply serving as a special guest at an Austin card shop a few years ago. The experience hooked the former Texas standout immediately, and the wonderment only grew from there. “People from age 13 to 45 were all in there, and they all commonly shared a joy for the hobby,” Bamba said. “I’ve always seen how kids like to experience their sports heroes, but I didn’t know how directly correlated it was to the sports card industry world. I used to hear about people having a sports card collection or having this vintage Babe Ruth card or having these signed Kobe (Bryant) cards. “Since then, the wheels kind of started spinning about how much I could get involved in it.”

The pair last week called for a “reset” on the negotiations over a potential arena facelift that proponents say is essential to prevent the Trail Blazers from leaving town following the team’s purchase this spring by Texas billionaire Tom Dundon. Brim-Edwards and Moyer have argued that they have not been given a meaningful opportunity to determine what the county should expect to get in return for its financial contribution, and have bemoaned what they described as a broader lack of basic information about the project.
This summer, Mazzulla has taken that commitment to another level; it’s mid-July, and he has already spent time with four different players in four different parts of the world: Jordan Walsh in Texas, Baylor Scheierman in Nebraska, Hugo Gonzalez in Spain, and Neemias Queta in Portugal.

The $350-per-ticket event will also feature state and local elected leaders who’ve championed an overhaul of the city-owned arena, including Portland Mayor Keith Wilson, Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson, Oregon Senate President Rob Wagner and state Sen. Kate Lieber. Proponents of the complex public finance deal, estimated to cost about $600 million, have deemed the project essential to keep the franchise from leaving town as city officials attempt to negotiate a new lease with the team.

He followed in the paths of his Spurs forefathers and starred in the iconic H-E-B commercials, the Texas supermarket that has been making comedic ad spots with Spurs players for well over a decade. But he is not a ubiquitous figure in the commercial space yet. “I think what Victor understands is not to be distracted by all of the fanfare around his career,” Silver said. ”Because he will be defined by championships, not by commercial opportunities or the platform he has to speak out on issues he cares about.”
