It’s been a rough week ever since the NBA suspended the season due to concerns with COVID-19. The virus is shutting down sports leagues and businesses everywhere as we all try to responsibly social distance and self-quarantine for the foreseeable future. There is a belief the league season can continue at some point, as the NBA thinks up multiple plans, but right now, everything is up in the air.
It’s difficult for everyone at home to try and find ways to entertain themselves. Sports fans, in particular, are struggling, but fear not hoops heads, because the NBA has you covered. The NBA released a statement on Wednesday announcing that League Pass would be free for all users to access until April 22.

The NBA isn’t the only league doing something like this, as NFL Game Pass will be free for users to go back and watch old football games.
Being able to access League Pass will be great for anyone who wants to relive their favorite moments from this season, or go back and watch all-time classic games involving players such as Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson. It’s the ultimate archive for anyone who loves basketball. A great place to start is the classic games tab. Some options currently on there are Kobe’s 81 point game, LeBron James’ coming out moment against the Pistons in the playoffs, and the 1984 NBA Finals featuring Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird.
