THIS IS THE NBA ON NBC!.. Welcome back ladies and gentlemen as we prepare for game one of the 2012 NBA Finals! Lets go live to Madison Square Garden the worlds most famous arena! Announcer- " Ladies and Gentlemen please Welcome Back your DEFENDING NBA Champion NEW! YORK! KNICKS!
Live from Arco Arena... the Sacramento Kings are hosting game 7 to the Los Angeles Lakers in the western conference final....fuckkkk those refs...David stern...and da lakers for their cheating ass..
Can't believe all the excuses these "journalists" are making for the Miami Heat not winning the title this year. When all summer long it was, this team is better than the 1996 Chicago Bulls or the 2001 LA Lakers (2 best teams i ever seen play). They barly got to 50 wins and couldn't beat Dallas.
i always feel like bringing along a portable cd player with this song playing as i practice basketball but am a bit self conscious, just to see of anyone laughs and "gets it" ...plus its brilliant motivational 90s NBA feeling while you practice.
doesnt anyone even watch hockey? evidently they have playoffs now too lol. noone gives two shits not with the way dirks been playing and miami. NBA!!!
This song was written by John Tesh, who was on vacation at the time. He had to call his house line, and left over 10 messages humming the idea for the song.
This music, along with the NFL on FOX, MLB on FOX and NHL on ESPN basically made sports that much more entertaining to watch in the late 80's and 90's.
I don't know how anyone can like the NBA on TNT theme better. Just listening to this music i'm getting mental images of michael jordan, karl malone, patrick ewing, reggie miller, grant hill etc.
All I'm thinking about right now is Jordan, Pippen, Malone, Stockton, Miller, Barkley, Rodman, Penny Hardaway, Shaq...ect. Yo this was basketball kids! Thanks so much for this upload!
i love this theme! unfortunately i feel it deserves to be left alone and not brought back for i feel that theme belongs to the 90s bulls and the 90s overall. now we have tnt..which honestly isnt that bad although i cannot stand espn
Man, what a song!! Nothing will ever top this one. Brings back so many memories of Sunday afternoons and big playoff games. This song fully captured the intensity and magnitude of all these rivalries. The NBA on NBC sure helped me get through a lot of rough times.
I miss NBA on NBC. I remember the Lakers with Shaq, Kobe and three-peat Lakers won it all on NBC in 2000-2002. I love it and I wish NBA was back on NBC. I love this song.
Yes!! This was when I was first introduced to basketball as a young kid by my mom's fiance at the time. Loved hearing this theme music blasting from the living room after school
NBA on NBC = The theme song of a generation. Tesh composed a masterpiece which seems fitting given how MJ and the Bulls were featured just about in all NBA on NBC games. As others have posted this reminds me of the good ol days of my childhood when basketball truly was entertaining. Gone are the days of some of the classic rivalries (Bulls/Pacers, Bulls/Knicks, Heat/Knicks). P.S. ABC, ESPN, and the Walt Disney network suck at broadcasting...NBC Sports till I die...
Brings back memories. I love how ESPN tried to hype up some game between two medicore teams and they say the Miami Heat of 2010 will be better than the 1996 Chicago Bulls. LOL at the thought of anyone being better than the 96 Bulls team.
"This is the NBA on NBC! The 2011 NBA playoffs! Tonight, game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks!" Marv Albert- "We are here live for game 1 of the NBA Finals.....YESSSSSSS!"
@lopido I tried to be realistic as possible. Would you prefer I have said The Los Angeles Clippers vs The New York Knicks?....because that wouldn't sound right.
i love this music! its unbelieveable how many memories it brings back. bob costas and marv albert, the buls dynasty, stockton and malone, shaq shattering backboards, shawn kemp and the sonics, patrick ewing and the knicks, the admiral and the spurs, charles barkley (suns and rockets), clyde "the glide" drexler, hakeem "the dream" olajuwon, raggie miller and the pacers, i could go on forever. the nba, nbc and the 90's.... the perfect trio!
The 1999 Nba Champ San Antonio Spurs. Wow I never thought we would EVER win at least one championship,, I always thought it was rigged for the bigger name teams to win it all. I was proven wrong. Go Spurs Go!! My favorite player that year was
Mario Elie because of the fire he brought to the team.
So many memories of hearing this theme right before a game.
But with a daughter running around and a wife who hogs the only HDTV we have, I don't get to watch many games during the season, unless I go to the inlaws house.
The NBA on NBC is AWESOME, Jordan, Pippen, Magic, Bird, Grant, Stockton, Malone, Sir Charles, Penny, Ewing, Duncan, Robinson, Alonzo, Isaiah, Olajuwan and of course, Big Shaq and they even had announcers like Marv Albert, Bob Costas, Ahmad Rashad and Hannah Storm, people who KNOWS how to CALL the NBA Action, abc/EPSN needs to stick to Football and leave it to CBS & NBC as well as TNT where you have EJ, The Jet, Sir Charles, Craig Sager, Cheryl Miller, Reggie Miller, Doug Collins and Marv Albert
@tnawcwvictoria agreed 100%. also, the nhl is on nbc now and the nbc announcers are horrible with hockey, nhl and nba should switch because as a fan of both sports, i can say nhl was better on abc/espn and nba was better on nbc.
Is it a surprise that since NBA went to ABC, it's ratings have plummeted. I mean free-falled? Nope. Granted they have lost Jordan but still ABC blows. Bring back NBA on NBC or NBA on CBS from the 80's. Sadly we have this ABC crap for 6 more years.
that would be so cool if it was true. i can just imagine marv albert and bob costas announcing tomorrow night's game. just the thought of it gives me chills. i don't know which sucks worse, the nba finals on abc or monday night football on espn.
that would be so cool if it was true. i can just imagine marv albert and bob costas announcing tomorrow night's game. just the thought of it gives me chills. i don't know which sucks worse, the nba finals on abc or monday night football on espn.
ESPN tries to take over so many things it gets annoying. ABC MNF was great, and the NBA on NBC was too. But when ESPN took over both of those broadcasts, they sucked!...Terribly! Talk about adding insult to injury.
@taylorkazarian: Im 15, and when i was little, this song always made me feel great when i was watching shaq and kobe. This song holds a special place in my heart. AND I FREAKING HATE NBA ON ABC!
the 90's had the best basketball hands down. this song makes me thing of the bulls and those six championships. spike lee and reggie miller arguing. shaq and penny hardaway, and those of you who remember dennis rodman kicking the camera man.
FUCK ABC, ESPN AND DISNEY!!! Where are did the days of the Knicks, Bulls, Pacers, Magic, Heat, Rockets, Suns, Jazz have gone. Days like those teams I mentioned truly hated eachother and had wars out there. NBA sucks now, everybody has "love" for each other and sportsmanship. I want punk ass thugs out there like Rodman, Oakley, Mason. FUCK!
If you want real wars, then the 80's were the days. The Celtics and Pistons HATED each other. There were plenty of brawls. You also had Jordan who HATED Isiah to the point where he essentialy kept him off the Olympic team.
And of course the Celtics and Lakers had their battles for a decade.
I've read a lot of comments about how people should petition the NBA to get the NBA on NBC back, and that sounds like a good idea. But what if people petitioned the NBA to SWITCH its broadcasting channels with the NFL? Think about it: NBC Sunday Night Football sucks (theme song, commentating, etc.) and so does the NBA on ESPN/ABC (in the same way). The NBA was good with NBC, and the NFL was good with both ESPN & ABC. If they switch channels, everything will be back to normal!
This theme right here is THE NBA.....man Marv Albert was a great announcer he made you feel what the crowd felt. NBC had better presentation....they ripping the fans off.
guys dont get me wrong i love this theme but a theme doesnt make a game great its the players and team that makes it great and nba has forgotten that they need to get back to there roots
They should put the NBA back on NBC!!! This theme song was the best!!! Listening to this reminds me of the 97 Miami Heat with Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning.
At least they played this song in the Gold metal game in the Beijing Olympics.

guys dont get me wrong i love this theme but a theme doesnt make a game great its the players and team that makes it great and nba has forgotten that they need to get back to there roots

i swear, when the NBA on NBC aired off, i knew there would be no other great one like it, NBA on ABC sucks! I hope they bring back NBA ON NBC

They should put the NBA back on NBC!!! This theme song was the best!!! Listening to this reminds me of the 97 Miami Heat with Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning.
At least they played this song in the Gold metal game in the Beijing Olympics.
