The main difference between the basic NBA League Pass plan and the Premium plan is the absence of ads. With a Premium subscription, you get to watch live NBA games without commercials. During ad breaks, you get to see what's happening in the arena instead.

The ads in the linear version of NBA League Pass - that is, the version you would get if you were to pay for it through your cable package - are sold by the network, which typically sells national ad inventory, and cable operators like Xfinity, which typically sell local ad inventory.

NBA TV includes: Multiple games each week, including double-headers** NBA TV 24-hour live stream. The day's top highlights and fantasy insight.

NBA TV's 24/7 basketball programming includes live studio coverage, original shows, select NBA and WNBA games, pre- and post-season games, and more. NBA TV is not included with Team Pass.

This happens because some companies seem to invest more in making ads for their games than actually developing them. As a result, they run ads that are completely untrue to the game's look and feel. For example, cinematic ads that resemble movies or series.

NBA TV is an individual TV channel that provides 24/7 live NBA coverage, including up to 100 exclusive games throughout the season. By comparison, NBA League Pass is a service that provides you with out-of-market games not already televised on channels like ESPN, ABC, TNT, and NBA TV.

You can watch multiple NBA games each week, including double-headers, live or on-demand. Nationally televised games are available for NBA TV customers. NBA Summer League and G-League are also offered via NBA TV without blackout restrictions.

Live games included in your subscription feature regular season out-of-market teams only. Nationally televised games and local team games televised in your area aren't available for live streaming with NBA League Pass. NBA playoff games are not included in your subscription.

App developers can maximize revenue by exploring non-ad-based monetization strategies such as in-app purchases, subscriptions, brand partnerships, crowdfunding, data monetization, hybrid models, affiliate marketing, white-labeling, donations, and user-generated content while maintaining a positive user experience.

This is technically illegal advertising because it misleads consumers. But because the games are free, there is no dollar-value in damages the consumers could present to a court. So it's difficult to build a case against this practice.
