Google Video Marketplace was announced in a presentation at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show.
"Google's innovative presentation of information and content is revolutionizing the way people access media," said National Basketball Association Commissioner David Stern. "In the increasingly competitive and rapidly changing world of entertainment, Google Video provides us with a new way to deliver the NBA experience to our fans when and how they want it."
The service was unsuccessful and was discontinued in August, 2007.
