The origins: 100 days of my life watching NBA games.

Hi, my name is Alexis, and with some friends I created BestGame.

I’ve been an NBA buff for the last 25 years. When it started out for me in the early 90s, the hero was Michael Jordan, and in Europe where I lived there were one to two games per week on pay TV, plus the NBA finals live. It went on for 15 years, until the NBA League Pass was finally born, then I began to watch a lot more games. Pick my games. Pick the format (highlight, 10-minute condensed, full game, 4th quarter only…).

I calculated: I spent almost 100 hours per year watching NBA games. Some years it’s been way less (like in 2001-2002 when the Lakers were dominating the league and I was too busy preparing for university exams), some years it’s been way more (like in 2015-2016 when the Warriors were en route for a record-breaking season). But all in all, it’s been an average of almost 100 hours x 25 years, that means almost 2500 hours, that means... 100 days.

I spent a total of 100 days of my life watching NBA games. It really got me scared when I estimated this figure. That is how addictive, devouring my NBA passion has been.

Watch quality, not quantity basketball.

What if, from now on, watching NBA basketball could be less about quantity and more about quality? What if you could pick the games (or parts of games, or game performances), that are the most exciting and beautiful to watch, and avoid wasting time (and money) on garbage games?

Enter BestGame: depending on how you like your basketball game to be played, we will point you to the best game. Spoiler-free of course.

Let's take a simple example: imagine that in the next 2 days, 20 NBA games will be played, that's a potential of 40 hours of basketball to watch, live or on replay. If you check BestGame right after the games are over, you will know that the Bucks @ Lakers game was the most beautiful one to watch, in particular the 4th quarter—all of this without disclosing the final score, to preserve the suspense. You're down from 40 hours of  erratic basketball to 2 hours of pure greatness—and only 30 minutes if you stick to the 4th quarter.

Where the beauty comes in:

pay less for more quality time!

Thanks to BestGame you don’t need to pay for the full NBA League Pass plan anymore: you can choose the monthly, 8-game plan instead, it’s far cheaper and you can be sure to sit down in front of the best games anyway!
