Apple and Spectrum are teaming up to stream select Lakers basketball games live for Vision Pro owners during the upcoming NBA season. It feels like a genuine test of where immersive entertainment and virtual reality headsets can go next.

This is the first time a major US sports league is committing to regular live broadcasts in Apple's immersive format, and it could prove a meaningful moment for the long-term relevance of Apple's $3,500 headset. Watching basketball from a courtside perspective, with cameras positioned at floor level and under each hoop, promises an entirely different sense of presence compared to a traditional broadcast.
