Checking TrustedSource - Check Single URL, I see that NBA.COM - The Game Happens Here is categorized as "sports" - a category not included in your list.

TrustedSource categorizes URLs, not just sites. Via the link above, you can submit a suggestion that NBA.com - NBA Videos and Highlights be classified as "Streaming Media."
