Most if not all NBA games are usually broadcasted by TV and cable stations in the US, but here in the Philippines, we only get to watch at most two delayed games online every weekend. This is the same scenario for the basketball-crazy European nations as well as those with players in the NBA like China, Argentina, Brazil, and so on. It takes a lot of money for countries outside the US to bring the games live for broadcast, and this is the main reason why a supposed-to-be global game like basketball is actually not available worldwide.

For those who are really into it and would like to watch NBA live games daily, they have to be creative and find the videos online. This why every game time, you will see a lot of people asking in Yahoo! Answers—How do I watch this game between these two teams?, or you will see a lot of people in chatrooms (specifically NBA-related chat rooms) asking for links to the live streaming video of the current game, however lame the teams playing may be. Well, here in the list of how to watch the games online.

1. Go to Pambihirang NBA Video. They compile a list of links of live NBA games for you everyday, 24×7. Youtube NBA videos are also found there especially the top ten plays (NBA Top 10), the daily highlights, the best steals, dunks, blocks, and assists. Updated team standings and team schedules are also posted there, courtesy of Yahoo. If you are an NBA fanatic, Pambihirang NBA is the site to go to.

2. Listen to the games live using NBA All-Access. Sometimes, a live video is too much especially when you are in the office or doing something. Live commentaries in this case are much more appropriate. I actually do this most of the time. The best thing about it is that it’s FREE!

3. Get the NBA League Pass. Now this costs money. You sign up, pay, and you’ll get your NBA games via broadband and internet connection. I’m not sure if Filipinos can do this though especially with our slow Internet access, but if you are in the US or Japan or Canada, this is the way to do it.

4. Go to Yahoo! Sports and ESPN. Sometimes they offer High-Definition Videos (HD) Games. I haven’t figured out yet the schedule of the games that they air. I’ll updated this post once I get the general idea.

There you go! Now there is no way for you to miss any of your NBA Games. Again, for team schedules, updates, news, results, and scores, go to Pambihirang NBA. It’s the website you’ll find everything you hope for.
