AT NBA.com, fans (users) are really in control, of their own “NBA movie”!
Get media, mix movies, share, the NBA Fan Voice declares. Steve Grimes, Vice President of Interactive Services for NBA Entertainment:
The NBA.com Highlight Mixer provides our fans with easy-to-use editing tools along with the broadest selection and highest quality of NBA highlights on the Internet. Beginning with video clips from the exciting 2007 NBA All-Star Game, our fans will be able to develop custom NBA video highlight reels of their favorite teams and players throughout the season.
The “Create Your Own Video Highlight Mix” is one of the interactive features available through the NBA Fan Voice, an online “club,” or social network, for basketball fans:
