New NBA platform lets fans create their own playoffs videos

TechCrunch.com reports that if you’re a basketball fan, you’re more than aware it’s playoff time — and we’re down to the final four teams.

Now The NBA wants to get fans involved too, and it’s teaming with BroadbandTV to help fans make their own videos. To that end, it’s launched a new fan-focused video creation initiative called The NBA Playmakers Network, which will include a YouTube channel, access to various NBA content assets and other platforms the league will be including over time.
