Not a lot of games yet, but it seems like the NBA is moving some classic games and highlights to Joost.

I'm pretty sure it's not the NBA doing it.

It is, they signed a deal with Joost the last couple of days. It was somewhere on CNN.
All programs on Joost are legit and legal.

Joost launches NBA channel
Mon Dec 17, 2007 3:01pm EST

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Joost on Monday launched a National Basketball Association channel on its online video service that will offer highlights from the past and present.

The deal comes months after a similar partnership with Major League Baseball.

Joost, created by the founders of eBay Inc's Skype Internet phone service and file-sharing service Kazaa, also offers a channel from the National Hockey League.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"By making games, highlights and shows available on Joost, the NBA is ensuring that its fans can enjoy the action where they want, when they want, while simultaneously interacting with other fans from around the world," Yvette Alberdingk Thijm, Joost executive vice president of content strategy and acquisition, said in a statement.

We'll see if they actually show many games.

BTW - did the internets run out of names?
