Apparently even if you paid for League Pass this past year, once the season ends you can't watch the games again. Kinda bull if you ask me

You can with Apple TV I think.

On the GameTime app I guess? I tried to on my PS4 and the login wouldn't even work. I tried on my computer and it said I don't have access to Summer League League Pass so I can't view anything.

I tried on Apple TV last night but it said the app wasn't available for some reason. I'll try that again tonight and see if it works.

How decent is the picture? I know it's streaming so the bit rate is going to be poop, but is it ever pixelated and blurry? Does it have to buffer often?

I'm more than happy. I use with my Roku, and it seems to be better picture-wise than the official ESPN Roku app. If I fast forward it probably takes about a second to buffer, but otherwise there's no buffering. I have pretty fast internet though (mostly to avoid that issue).

Awesome, thanks for the info! I've always gotten the pass, but this is very intriguing to say the least. Missing the NBA games is one of my hang ups in cutting the TV cord.

I'm addicted to Shark Tank. I don't know if it's healthy or not. I'm scared.

I'm fascinated with nearly every moment and find myself talking like a Shark or entrepreneur in day-to-day conversations when work and money surface as topics.

I'm getting jaded about the world and money, yet hopeful and happy for people who dream big and catch a deal.

I have so many ideas in the works and so many that failed and so many rejections along the way, but rather than patents, I'm more into trademarks and copyrights, selling language in the form of books and book series. They wouldn't invest in me. I have one product idea but it's based on written content as well.

Roberts my favorite though

I'd tell him off it wouldn't be pretty. He has the least ingenuity. I like Robert the most as well. I feel Cuban and Lori are the most savvy and would make the best strategic partners in most business deals. They're so versatile.

Lori being the queen of QVC makes her probably more valuable in terms of getting a product out there imo.

Mr. Wonderful is locked into traditional, low risk ways of generating profits in established, easy-to-forecast businesses. Lori and Mark often see value when you are convinced the candidate has no shot at a deal. They take more risks because they see the way change impacts the future. They have more vision than Mr. Wonderful even though his genius has mastered the system.

I used to be into it, but kind of phased out.

I do some investment work and at times the dynamics of the negotiations are just so ill informed that it gets annoying to watch.

Lol you didn't see that? His son plays for UCLA. Apparently puff daddy picked up a kettlebell or whatever it's called and did something with it.

For the record he did it to the same ex nfl assistant who intentionally tripped a player while he was running on the sideline.

Maybe he is 'bad boy for life' after all
