The whole NBA League Pass system is flawed and broken in so many ways. Expanding on what you've written up:

1) It's bogus that I need to buy a subscription twice to watch it on my iPhone and my laptop. I'll pay a small fee for an iOS app but it's ludicrous to make me pay double licensing fees.

2) Why in the world would you build an iOS app oriented towards video and not build an iPad version?

3) Why are they burdening users with choices like "do you want to see seven teams or all teams?" This doesn't bother me as a user but it drives me crazy as a designer. They're making the signup flow gratuitously complicated. It's a bizarre segmentation that forces users to think unnecessarily.

4) The black hat UX like auto-renewal and email-to-cancel is irritating and makes me mistrust the service.
