With exciting NBA action returning this October, leading mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. brings the historic NBA 75th Anniversary Season right at the palm of its subscribers via the Gigaplay App, which offers NBA games and programming through its livestream feed of NBA TV Philippines—a localized version of NBA TV and the league’s dedicated 24/7 channel.
During the 2021-22 season, the NBA will commemorate the 75 greatest players and feature 75 Classic Matchups to celebrate the teams, players, coaches, and moments that have defined 75 years of NBA basketball. Tipping off this slate on Nov. 1 (Nov. 2 PHT) are the Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks, marking the league’s first regular season game played on Nov. 1, 1946 between the New York Knickerbockers and then Toronto Huskies. The Classic Matchups will also pay tribute to three of the NBA’s original franchises: the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors (formerly Philadelphia Warriors) and the Knicks, which have all played in every season of the NBA.
