The NBA and Samsung have teamed up to speed Instant replays up!!!


Are you tired of INSTANT REPLAYS during your favorite sporting events? Are they an inconvenience to you and your time wasted watching grown men confused over a call… Well the NBA and Samsung have teamed up to speed this process along. With the NBA season quickly approaching, Tip-off Tuesday October 29th with the world champions Miami Heat hosting the Chicago Bulls. Whether you are a Miami Heat or LeBron James fan or not, we are all witnesses to his sheer athletic abilities which he displays night after night. The promising Chicago Bulls with their reigning MVP in Derrick Rose coming off an ACL surgery, we should be in store for a great game on opening night.


With all this excitement, its tough as a fan to be slowed down with ten replays of the same play until the referees get the call right… hopefully. Samsung is going to provide Referees Samsung tablets and televisions in a deal with the NBA worth over $100 million. This means, fans will see close calls reviewed by refs on Samsung tablets for instance, while the NBA in turn will work with Samsung to create customized content for NBA League Pass. The deal comes on the heels of recent Samsung endorsements by LeBron James and Jay-Z, showing the Korean giant is willing to spread those profits around to up its brand prestige.
