Sports viewing platform DAZN doubled the price for subscribers to watch Spanish basketball because Croatian national team player Mario Hezonja requested it if he hits a three-pointer from long distance again, which he did on Sunday against Murcia.
The Plan Basketball package, which includes games from the Spanish league and the NBA playoffs, cost a month 6.99 euros.
Hezonja, active on social networks, had hit a three-pointer against Valencia from a long distance, and then he sent a challenge to DAZN.
