Damn we need the NBA back on NBC. Can we start a petition on Facebook. Social Media is so powerful these days. These intros brings back memories of how great the NBA was back then, even though I didn't want Chicago to win at the time.
@icemanjayketchum B/c it hurt our best chance (before 06) to win one. Plus the bulls are rivals. So of course it hurts...same way 98-00 hurts with the losses to the knicks.
@icemanjayketchum You know when I saw oden in college I said hes gonna break down real fast and I would never draft him. I LOVED durant. Had I been a gm..how right id have been lol. I will say my fave blazers teams were the strickland/ porter/robinson teams and also the 99-00 teams that made back to back West finals. BTW Whitsitt was not a bad GM. Why most think so I have no idea.
@icemanjayketchum Only reason we lost to dallas is b/c lebron decided not to show up for the 4th quarter of any game lol. Wade carried the team and to my shock bosh had a good series. Lebron was a no show.
this bring back so many memories bein a kid growin up in Chicago and dreaming of bein part of the Bulls they tought me how to be a champion a keep pourin it on cause its all personal thanks 4 the memories Chicago Bulls
it was the small thing that nbc did that made you feel that you were experiencing the nba more than simply just watching it, i remember watching games played from the delta center (energy solutions arena) and you could appreciate the pandemonium. today they turn down the crowd feed and let you listen to rambling of commentators
I now the NHL is not doing to good also ever since the lock out in 2005. But at least the NHL hockey is still on NBC4 not like NBA thats on cheap channel ABC7. But the only thing bad about the NHL is that ever since after the lock out in 2005 NHL they lost their ESPN rights and are broadcasting games on a crappy network Versus. But at they got to stay on NBC4 at least thank god.
NBC 4 is the best station better than Disney ABC7. Those were the good ol days when the NBA use to have their home on NBC4. Now the NBA looks bad today what ashame. They went from NBC4 to cheap channel Disney ABC7. They should of stayed on NBC4. The 90's were the best when NBA was looking good and more exciting to watch in Jordan days. David Stern destroyed the NBA. Next year 2011 we might not even have a NBA season cause the league is broke now. I smell a lock out coming in 2011.
FreshWesss seriously if even WoodrowBramah781985 can effortlessly dunk, which means even you can, Im precisely 5'10 dude. You can do it too, basically just don't be lazy and follow a training program like the one over at "50-inch-vertical(dot)com", it'll enhance your vertical jump and your rebounding ability.
#VIDEOPOSTERID# great video, reminds me of myself - lol. I'm 5 7 and I can double pump dunk. I took the famous training that real nba players use. For more info about the training program, go to - | 50 inch vertical [dot] com |
i miss nba on nbc so much!!! just the lead up to every game was so interesting just making you want to watch even more. And when you hear that theme you knew it was game time!!
I don't get why ABC can't quite capture the dramatic atmosphere like NBA used to do. It's like they're purposely doing everything to get away from the moody, gritty, dramatic, heroic intro that NBC had, and just made it a colorful, happy-go-lucky, pop/jazz fest. That's my problem with Monday Night Football too, it's like, why are they going for this whole Country theme? Showing people smiling and crap, it should be DRAMA and EXCITEMENT, not smiling country stars and singers.
Everytime I watched when I was 5(13 years ago), I would always hope for it. If it didn't come, at least I could listen to some Roundball Rock and watch the Bulls kick some ass.
The thing I miss about the NBA on NBC is the intro where the would do the promo and "This is the NBA on NBC" with the flamingo outline..then after the intro when they would have the music and show players walkin into the building....memories
The 90's were the best so as basketball had the best era. NBA on NBC was amazing when ever you hear that intro of NBA on Nbc you already know whats good. If David Stern wants AMAZING in the NBA he should bring NBA to NBC now thats where amazing happens.
EVERYONE --- I HAVE MADE A FACEBOOK GROUP CALLED "WE WANT NBA ON NBC!!" (with the exclamation points). ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN JOINING CAN LOOK UP THE NAME JUSTIN MERRY - UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA OR JUST LOOK UP THE GROUP NAME ENCLOSED IN QUOTATIONS ABOVE!!
are you serious, ImmortalDragon? you've gotta be joking..do you know that the players in 90's were more defensive and stronger than the players nowadays? point guards at that time were able grab rebounds and centers at that time were able to do some assists...and NBC is million times better!
This was when the NBA had it all. The rivalries, guys playing with a handful of injuries and not complaining, no ticky tack foul calls, and the games were so intense. And the NBA had NBC
I've uploaded a about 20 NBA on NBC clips. I thought the NBA on NBC was a great telecast when it was on and I'm glad I taped everything. One buddy at the time asked me why I liked NBC so much, and I tried to explain it to him, but I'm not so sure he got the essence of it all.
Fast forward to today, and the broadcasts aren't the same (sure TNT is good, but the others aren't). But I'm just glad others feel the same way about the NBA on NBC as I do and it's great reading all these comments.
at least NFL on fox and other networks is still great, and has great theme music.
coincidentally enough, the worst NFL broadcast is monday night football--- which is on ESPN, but that's only because of the horrible commentators(kornheiser).
I know what you mean its that music the hype of the game even the announcer with all the great moments you have some announcer screaming BULLS WIN stuff like that now we have reggie miller guys with no excitement but NBA is getting better
Yeah, sports telecasts don't have the same 'feel' that they used to. There was something about the 90s, and something about NBC's telecast of the NBA that just felt better, and I can't really explain it.
@FreshWesss I totally feel your attitude. The way I liked it: NBA on NBC, NHL on ESPN/ESPN 2 (with the NHL 2-nite show), Monday night football on ABC, Sunday night football on ESPN with Chris Berman/Tom Jackson's NFL primetime show right before the game started. Oh, and what the heck, MTV playing a three hour music video show from 7-10 pm. Then don't forget SportsCenter with Keith Olberman (where he can talk sports and not politics) and Dan Patrick.
@FreshWesss TNT is only tolerable because of the T-Mobile halftime show, otherwise its just the same as ESPN. So glad I'm a Bulls fan and I get to watch Stacey King and Neil Funk put on the most entertaining show on earth next to the one they are calling...
you right for the most part...but TNT been covering the NBA for years..including tuesday, wednesday and friday games..then you have about 2-3 games on NBC on sunday..miss it just thinking about it
For real, NBC does it real big, not like these other channels. The intros alone got you ready for the game. The hype is lost with these other wack channels. BRING BACK THE NBA ON NBC!
@Deadshot089 Unfortunately, we the fans don't get a vote on what networks broadcast what sports leagues the way we vote for who runs our country, and each of our respective states and cities.
My Bulls own the Heat when it comes playoff time. They were fortunate against us in 2006 with our inexperience showing but we swept them away in 2007. 1992, 1996, 1997, 2007--Standard of normalcy beating them.
The guy announcing is actually Mike Breen from the NBA on ABC. He actually worked for the NBA on NBC until 2002, when NBC surrendered TV rights to ABC.
Big problem for the Heat in this series was that they didn't use Mashburn as their go-to post player. Chicago had no answer for Mashburn. But when he missed a shot in the paint he didn't see the ball again for days...
sad thing for me is when i was younger in the 90's i really couldnt remember the games from nbc. when i got a lil older when i did start to remember i moved overseas and i had to watch international version coverage if the nba. so when i finally did get back to the states they already switched to abc. so now all i got is videos on youtube to remember it by. even though these intros are old it makes me still wanna watch those games they are introducing!! i can only hope they bring it back someday
Man does that NBA on NBC theme make me nostalgic and gives me some serious chills. ABC is a joke. NBA on NBC had the best games in the 90's and 00 01 and 02. Oh man I could still remember when i was a kid in the 90s, if I didnt hear this intro before a game, the game wouldnt be complete but the games were still excellent.
Oh please, put a message up when Kobe's career avg is 30.5 and he shoots .495 for his career. He is 8 scoring titles short of Michael and 4 regular season MVPS short as well as 6 finals MVP's short. I dont want to hear that Kobe will have more points total either because he came out of High school which gives him an extra 3-4 years. Kobe hasnt want a title without Shaq, and I dont think he ever will.
Kobe can't hold Jordan's jockstrap. I've seen them both play in person. And it's not close. Not only was Jordan unstoppable offensively. But his defense was fucking sick. Dude won defensive player of the year. Kobe will NEVER win that award. Not to mention Jordan won 6 championships. Kobe's only 3 came with Shaq in his PRIME. It's not even close. Jordan was the best to ever touch a basketball.
now thats what im talking about!!!!!! Marv Albert and the NBA on NBC intro and theme...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhitt now that gets me pumped up to watch some ball....abc is crap...
I dont know if anyone noticed, but the music being played up until the NBC logo is from the movie "The Lost World: Jurassic Park." Just thought Id point that out.
I can't believe he came back from the kidney. I didn't think he had a chance. To think he's still in the NBA, and is still a defensive force when he is out there

move like Chamberlain, Russell, Kareem, Hakeem could? Oden can. I saw him

ya tnt was there even during the nbc years, its still decent. but abc for nbc sucks incredibly in comparison. good times back in the day.

For real, NBC does it real big, not like these other channels. The intros alone got you ready for the game. The hype is lost with these other wack channels. BRING BACK THE NBA ON NBC!

Apparently, ABC has a contract with the NBA until 2016.

@Deadshot089 Unfortunately, we the fans don't get a vote on what networks broadcast what sports leagues the way we vote for who runs our country, and each of our respective states and cities.

NBA on NBC was the best. Always a story behind the game to treat the viewers to a movie-like intro and pumped up for the game.

My Bulls own the Heat when it comes playoff time. They were fortunate against us in 2006 with our inexperience showing but we swept them away in 2007. 1992, 1996, 1997, 2007--Standard of normalcy beating them.

Mitch Phillips also did voicovers for the NBA on NBC in the early part of the 90's.

This theme has ressurected on NBC for Olympic Basketball But Marv Albert is not annoucing in Beijing.

The guy announcing is actually Mike Breen from the NBA on ABC. He actually worked for the NBA on NBC until 2002, when NBC surrendered TV rights to ABC.

Big problem for the Heat in this series was that they didn't use Mashburn as their go-to post player. Chicago had no answer for Mashburn. But when he missed a shot in the paint he didn't see the ball again for days...

sad thing for me is when i was younger in the 90's i really couldnt remember the games from nbc. when i got a lil older when i did start to remember i moved overseas and i had to watch international version coverage if the nba. so when i finally did get back to the states they already switched to abc. so now all i got is videos on youtube to remember it by. even though these intros are old it makes me still wanna watch those games they are introducing!! i can only hope they bring it back someday

Man does that NBA on NBC theme make me nostalgic and gives me some serious chills. ABC is a joke. NBA on NBC had the best games in the 90's and 00 01 and 02. Oh man I could still remember when i was a kid in the 90s, if I didnt hear this intro before a game, the game wouldnt be complete but the games were still excellent.

NBA on NBC brings back one strong memory.
Kobe dropping 42 in one half on MJ, with Jordan insisting on guarding him the whole game.
Talk about snatching the torch!
purlywites1113 3 years ago
Oh please, put a message up when Kobe's career avg is 30.5 and he shoots .495 for his career. He is 8 scoring titles short of Michael and 4 regular season MVPS short as well as 6 finals MVP's short. I dont want to hear that Kobe will have more points total either because he came out of High school which gives him an extra 3-4 years. Kobe hasnt want a title without Shaq, and I dont think he ever will.

not forgetting the retirement periods too...

Kobe can't hold Jordan's jockstrap. I've seen them both play in person. And it's not close. Not only was Jordan unstoppable offensively. But his defense was fucking sick. Dude won defensive player of the year. Kobe will NEVER win that award. Not to mention Jordan won 6 championships. Kobe's only 3 came with Shaq in his PRIME. It's not even close. Jordan was the best to ever touch a basketball.

I dont know if anyone noticed, but the music being played up until the NBC logo is from the movie "The Lost World: Jurassic Park." Just thought Id point that out.

I can't believe he came back from the kidney. I didn't think he had a chance. To think he's still in the NBA, and is still a defensive force when he is out there
