Four days into a four week lockdown.

1. My son the sports nut (basketball) says.....

try searching for them on YouTube. He says that many sites with ballgames have come and gone through the years but always get taken down due to copyright infringement lawsuit threats, I assume from broadcasters holding the rights.

I see that happen a lot on YouTube with music files people post, and then a few months later they're gone.

I recall watching some YouTube TV show reruns on a friend's smart TV but it was a pain in the arse because the TV wasn't smart enough to accept a keyboard input (for typing in YouTube searches). Many are keyboard compatible nowadays.

5. To break the boredom, my 35 YO son has...

an old Playstation 2 and football and basketball game disks. Although he's almost entirely a basketball fan, he prefers playing the football Playstation game, connected to our TV.

Are you looking for games for your TV or computer? One would think the NBA Live game CDs would be available used on ebay or Craig's list pretty cheap.

Hope you find something that works for you. Perhaps you have a friend that has a TV game unit or some computer game disks they're not using you could borrow.

2. Regarding your question about Softonic.....

Reading a few of the responses from a search on that question, many people say it is not trustworthy. In fact, several say they have downloaded viruses during file downloads.

See: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffsb&q=is+softonic.com+legit%3F&ia=web

It appears to me to be very risky.
