What NBA updates does
Almost every sports bot in Telegram is about football, which leaves basketball fans with nothing. This one fills that gap: pick your teams and it sends game results, highlights and news from the NBA.
The time zones are the practical reason it exists - NBA games are played on North American evenings, which is the middle of the night for much of the world, and a message waiting in the morning is better than hunting for the score. It is a personal project by a named author rather than a media product, so expect the coverage of a fan, not of a newsroom.
How to start
- Open @TheScoreBot and press Start
- Choose the teams you follow
- Read the results in the morning instead of chasing them at night

Pros / Cons

FAQ
Does it cover leagues other than the NBA?
The bot presents itself as NBA updates; treat anything beyond that as unconfirmed.
Are the highlights videos?
They arrive as links to clips rather than hosted video, which is how a small bot stays within Telegram's limits.
