/r/nbastreams is an extreme because that directly affects league pass sales. Highlights / clips are probably less of a concern, but definitely still a concern.

We also think that NBA itself, ESPN, and BleacherReport can benefit from this technology. There are a lot of potential use cases we think that can be unlocked with this. Right now we're going the consumer route first where they can see live clips, but we can see ourselves potentially working with one of the bigger players if they see value in this.
