Flopping is ruining the gameThe flopping problem in the NBA is absolutely out of hand and it's making the game unwatchable. Every night you watch Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drive, throw his head back, and fall on the floor and get a whistle. It's every single possession. It's not toughness, it's not craftiness, it's just flopping…

Cable Provider login not workingI can’t log in to the NBA on Apple TV with my cable provider to watch NBA TV after the latest update. I put in my credentials and nothing happens. Says an error occurred. Worked fine until previous update. Only occurs on Apple TV

NbaI hope to be an nba player when I get older. I’ve always had a love for basketball. But this app is awesome for inspiration. The little clips and shorts are awesome to stay on track about nba stuff. U can also watch games on this app which is awesome for the price. I do have a cool idea for this app…
