My dream is to be able to watch NBA games in VR with broadcasters replaced by player/fan chatter

The future of watching sports at home ā¹š¾āāļøš
I often find myself pondering what our future advancements in technology will enable. Recently, this led me to think deeply about the idea of being able to watch sports games in VR or AR. Specifically, watching NBA games with courtside seats without actually having to be there or pay those insane prices for the tickets.
I think this would increase viewership of games in a big way. Imagine the ticket sales. Not only could they still sell out the arena, but they would also be able to charge people who aren't even there, ideally at a reduced cost of course.
NBA League Pass subscriptions would surely skyrocket if they added the ability to watch the game courtside in VR. I know I'd be all over purchasing something like that.
I don't yet own a VR headset, but I have tried one out a couple of times. There are many people in the same boat as me. VR isn't something that's in every house quite yet. It will be eventually though.
The Apple Vision Pro will be the start of sports gaining popularity in the realms of virtual and augmented reality. Everything Apple does turns into a success. Even if it's not a brand new idea they came up with, they often are the ones that propel a new technology to something the average person can start using.
Apple Vision Pro is going to be insanely expensive, but eventually, they will find ways to reduce cost and create a version of the headset that many people can afford to purchase.
In today's video, I wanted to discuss in detail why I think being able to watch NBA games in VR would be a total gamechanger. To me, something like this is inevitable and I hope it comes sooner rather than later.
Drop your thoughts in the comments below to let me know if you would be interested in something like this. If you can think of something to keep this from happening, I'd also like to hear about that. To me, it seems totally possible.

The NBA tickets are very overpriced. Similarly to the VR sets. Better to watch the NBA games on YouTube. They are often streamed live for free. For example on the Yondu 2K YouTube channel.
I watch all of my NBA games online for free. As much as I love the sport, I refuse to travel hundreds of miles away and pay high prices for a good seat in the arena. It's just too much of a splurge for me and I'd rather spend/invest my money into other things.
If VR ever becomes affordable for the average person and NBA goes this route, it will be a hit. It's far too early for that now though.
This future is coming and probably sooner than many of us think. I've also thought of this. For me, it was virtual raves and concerts. Immersive technology is going to change everything.
