NBA International League Pass
In 2010 (the 2010-2011 season) NeuLion took over NBA International League Pass Broadband. Many features have been added to the service, including access to individual plays of the game via icons/markers. Game halts like timeouts (Time-out (sport)#Basketball) are filled in with NBA spots/advertisements and not marked by icons, therefore not immediately accessible. The NBA spots/advertisements have been removed for the 2011 Finals, and game halts were filled with real time images from the arenas including performances of dance teams. The advertisements have been restored again in the 2011-2012 season in the form of a silent "NBA.TV Never miss a shot." screen presented during game halts.
'Condensed' games are offered, meant to sum up the highlights of the game, but there are glitches. For example, the condensed version of the 2011 second round playoff game 5 featuring BOS @ MIA 'started' after the fourth quarter. This has led to heavy criticism among fans looking for a spoiler-free recap.

Famous quotes containing the words league and/or pass:
“Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. You toodle along, thinking that all gay men wear leather after dark and should never, ever be permitted around a Little League field. And then one day your best friend from college, the one your kids adore, comes out to you.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Great is the art,
Great be the manners, of the bard.
He shall not his brain encumber
With the coil of rhythm and number;
But, leaving rule and pale forethought,
He shall aye climb
For his rhyme.
“Pass in, pass in,” the angels say,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
