Samsung said to sign three-year, $100 million deal with NBA

by Don Reisinger October 28, 2013


The NBA and Samsung have signed a major deal that will see the electronics company gain serious visibility at games, according to a new report.

The NBA and Samsung's deal is valued at $100 million over three years, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people who claim to have knowledge of the agreement. Under the terms of the deal, Samsung will provide to the NBA both televisions and tablets for use courtside when the NBA starts its new season on Tuesday. The televisions will act as the monitors referees use to review close calls, according to the Journal.

CNET has contacted Samsung and the NBA for more information and will update this report when we learn more.

Samsung's deal with the NBA goes beyond just providing devices. The NBA will customize its video, the Journal said, to optimize it for Samsung's many devices, including televisions

Apple getting the proper humiliation they deserve tbh.

I remember a time when a tech friend of mine said way back in 2006 that Samsung has a very bright future ahead especially in TVs. little did he know that they would leapfrog Apple.

LOL APPLE releasing their own line of hdtvs next year...late to the table, but fuck them

'bout time Samsung catches up and counters Apple appearance in every hit movie, tbh...

El, even with the increased revenue, Samsung makes far less profits than Apple. It's understandable when they sell $50 iphones for $500. That$s like 1000% on their's investment. I heard they're seeing a drop off in mac and ipod sales.

[Rogue]

apart from the sales, Iphone users will have to PAY to download those shits from their official website. You make try jailbreak but the risk is your phone being turned into a brick, but some users would still jailbreak their phones despite the risk because the subsequent fees of downloading and shit collectively would even exceed the value of the phone itself. It's like you can buy a used car (like my nigga Jacob) cuz its relatively cheap, but it'll probably end up costing more in maintenance & gas than what you paid to buy the car in the first place.

Apple still shitting on Samsung and calling Bovice on the tech world regardless of what the haters say, tbh :downspin:

K. Bryant: Gimme dat Samsung deal. Jim Buss: Are you insane? You're not worth half that much for three years. You can't even play three more years on a repaired Achilles. K. Bryant: Tell that to Laker fans. They only know stars, not basketball. Who cares if I can't play...my name's still Kobe Bryant. So pay up, chump.

my goddess doesn't like it obviously, she (and several other celebrities like Alba) sued the shit outta that pervert who was eventually sentenced to 10yrs in prison.

and I never quite fancy those semi-bath photos of my goddess, I like everything with my goddess in but those nude/semi-nude photos are always the things I like least in my collection tbh.

True, true... I fear pussies, or repudiate them, to be more accurate.
