That's awesome, only missing thing is being able to hookup my League Pass to it to play games live but I don't think they even have an auth system to allow it.
NBA GO – Watch NBA in Your Terminal

Re: NBA GO – Watch NBA in Your Terminal
#22nice job, but single purpose apps like this are kinda meh... Unless the ONLY sports you care about is in fact the NBA. Otherwise, you'd still need to visit some sports site for updates. I would imagine this can be easily made sports agnostic? Maybe not... Maybe not all the leagues have a realtime API or they do not conform to the same interface.
Maybe you can port it to the sport of your choice to watch through a terminal.
Not my taste... I imagine some people would like to view it in terminal though.. I was merely thinking out loud. Are the sports APIs standardized, or even readily available across all the popular sports in the U.S. ?

Do you have issues with calculator? Usually a comprehensive app like you are talking about gets built onto until it reaches all sports. Can this not just be the first step?
I regard the calculator as feature complete.
This can be feature complete for individuals who represent the cross section of NBA and terminal fanatics. Anyone else outside of this cross section, the dependency on the likes of espn.com is still there, and will likely have it open in an adjacent browser.
Expanding your calculator analogy, my point would be akin to critiquing an add only calculator app

I’m gonna guess no. I’m amazed that even one sport offers a high quality enough API to build something like this.
Looks like this uses a very unofficial API - see the note about AWS IP ranges being blocked on https://www.npmjs.com/package/nba

Like Football Manager?
Or, shameless self promotion: https://basketball-gm.com/ https://github.com/dumbmatter/basketball-gm Currently no terminal UI, sadly. PRs welcome!
Maybe you can adapt this NBA GO implementation to consume data from your software?

#30I think I'm different in my preferences from most people, but I don't want to know the score for anything I haven't watched yet.
I realize I'm in the minority, judging from the amount of effort it has taken to convince my phone to stop popping up notifications ruining every Seahawks game for me from a dozen different sources, and from browsing the Formula 1 website with my eyes closed in the hope of scrolling down to find the local time of the race without seeing the headlines that will ruin qualifying for me (or the race itself if it was an early one).
I really just want the world to stop telling me scores for everything.
And on the topic we're discussing, it would have been pure awesome if they had instead intercepted the streaming video feed and converted it to ASCII art in realtime. That's a project I could get behind!
