【Priyani (2021) Hindi Short Film】

The Priyani (2021) Hindi Short FilmNational Basketball League is bringing more shots to Snapchat.

The league and Snap have renewed a partnership to bring behind-the-scenes and in-game coverage to the app. They are expected to triple the amount of content compared to last year, when Snapchat hosted Live Stories and curated collections of snaps from fans and teams for games each week, as well as for events like the All-Star game and NBA Finals.

For the 2016-17 NBA season, the league will create more Live Stories and release a weekly Discover channel. The NBA is only the second sports league -- after the National Football League -- to boast an exclusive Discover channel, which grants them access to more storytelling features.

Snapchat users can also access scoreboard geofilters that update in near real-time with the current scores. Those dynamic filters generated 20 million views over 51 games last NBA season, TechCrunchreported.

For the NBA, this season's effort with Snapchat requires substantially more investment. But it also provides an additional revenue stream and potentially more attention from Snapchat's growing userbase of 150 million daily active users.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Snapchat will have access to the ad sales inventory and could choose to split the revenue or pay a licensing fee, as Recodepreviously reported. The NBA declined to comment on the arrangement.

"We’re seeing tremendous engagement with a young, global audience on the platform," Melissa Rosenthal Brenner, the NBA's senior vice president of digital media, wrote to Mashablein an email. "Without getting into specifics, we’re committed to providing enough resources [to Discover] to do this right and provide our fans with a unique experience."

For Snapchat, the deal with the NBA is just its latest move to bring more TV-like content to its app. Snapchat has partnered with nearly every major sports league in the United States, including the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, PGA and NASCAR.
