Google has teamed with the NBA to make current season NBA games available online for the first time as part of the launch of its Google Video Store, the first open video marketplace where consumers can buy or rent a wide range of video content, it was announced today by Larry Page, Google?s Co-Founder and President, Products, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

People who visit the Google Video homepage at http://video.google.com will be able to access 2005-06 NBA games and some of the greatest individual performances in NBA history.  Marking the first time NBA fans can purchase full NBA contests online, each NBA game for the rest of this season, including the NBA Playoffs and The Finals, will be available to fans in its entirety for $3.95 per game, 24 hours after its conclusion.

?Google's innovative presentation of information and content is revolutionizing the way people access media," said NBA Commissioner David Stern.  "In the increasingly competitive and rapidly changing world of entertainment, Google Video provides us with a new way to deliver the NBA experience to our fans when and how they want it.?  

In addition, the highest scoring games of some of the NBA?s best players will be available including Kobe Bryant?s 62-point performance in three quarters vs. Dallas last month.
