NBA getting into NA LCS?

Esports seems to be gaining steam. I had heard rumors that some events in future Olympics may have some form of esports incorporated into it. I havent read anything official about when or what games would be involved. However, it seems to have made an impression within the US. Three of the top NBA teams have all expanded and put together a team in the NA LCS. This is the professional league for League of Legends. Personally I do enjoy the game, and for those that follow LoL this isnt breaking news. It may however be news to those of the traditional sports world.

This suggests that big players within the sports community see esports as something to invest in. The esports community has grown significantly, twitch has played a big part. I think this arena will grow larger and larger. Hopefully NA can do something at worlds this upcoming season.
