The NBA keeps video-taped archives of its games in an indestructible bunker in New Jersey, rated to withstand a nuclear blast. This interesting bit of news comes courtesy of Ben Cohen of the Wall Street Journal [subscription required]. Cohen reports that the NBA, along with other sports leagues, has deep interest in preserving its archives in the safest mode possible, thus the professionally-monitored, environmentally-controlled location.
Cohen reports that every conceivable inch of footage resides in the underground facility:
The rare footage of Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and today’s highlights of LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo share an unlikely home 50 feet below ground.
