NBA on TNT Theme (99-2000)

[MissDeeCole]

Awwwrrr Naaaarrrrrrr...thats terrible

[Oldschoolhockey91]

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy! this coulda have been so great if they changed up the tempo slightly and added another verse of lyrics. The energy and the flow is there, but it coulda been really great if they had that extra somethin

[LukeBCtown]

lol this music makes me think jerry lucas and john havelicek are gonna come out on the floor

[RCthebumpdro]

yeah i liked this theme, it was for couple yrs, they used it in da short season in 99 where they had the muscial insturments. they might of used it early for the 99-2000 season maybe thats to hard to remember but im know it was used in the short season in 99 cuase it was my first year of watching basketball like every day lol.

[08WSChamps]

lol now tht i watchi this again, i still dnt like it for the NBA, but i didnt have a problem with certain commercials using the swing theme, especially food commercials or Zatarans, ect lol i wish the 90s were back, da commercials and songs they use 2day suck!

[StupidNub]

looks like its just the kings and jazz...

[shoplifting1is1fun]

hahahahhahaha

[bakerandbaker1]

Good theme, but not good for long term use. Kind of catchy.

[joekiddlouischama]

@bakerandbaker1 ... agreed and well-stated. It was good for a one-year, change-of-pace type of deal.

[flea6115]

Wait was that Big Bad Voodoo Daddy? Who the hell thought their music had anything to do with basketball?

[tnawcwvictoria]

This theme should've been used for Dick Clark's American Bandstand

I wonder how Mr. Clark felt about this being used as a sports theme. LOL

[juggernaut232]

god this was horrible

[theruben25]

lol I actually dug this theme without lyrics. But yeah the lyrics make it really bad

[VASpecial036]

Worst. Theme. Ever.

[shoplifting1is1fun]

OH jesus...

[snkvssnd]

it's The nba on tnt toniggggght

it's The nba on tnt toniggggght

IT"S THE NBA ON TNT TONIGGGGHT

YEAH!!!!!!!

[bulls7123]

Hah, I remember watching this theme back in my cousin's house when I did not have cable, and they did. I watched the Lakers-Suns game, when Glen Rice hit a game-winner. Funny video.

[TheX360Videos]

whose got the fast breaks o mistakes-im srry but this is horrible

[xdimonddivax]

I think this intro should've been remixed without the lyrics. P.S.: Can somebody upload  the old NBA on TBS intro from either 1995-96 or 2000-01?

[ShaqAttack32Diesel]

i miss 80th and 90th nba basketball :(

[theruben25]

This theme was cool without the lyrics. I'm guessing TNT agreed because I remember them playing it without the lyrics about 90% of the time.

[HFsX]

this is still better than the ABC pussycat dolls intro

[coldkid6]

hell yeah!

[milkmanv1]

Word.

[jgarza52]

this was part of that tuesday, wednesday, thursday thing they had going with tbs as well, with all the jazz and stuff

[tnawcwvictoria]

This version doesn't fit the NBA.

This was made to fit American Bandstand and Happy Days if you ask me.

[firstpres2002]

The only sports theme with lyrics that has ever worked is the Monday Night Football theme by Hank Williams Jr.

[08WSChamps]

this theme sucks and yea i agree the swing fad didnt last too long for sure lol

[joekiddlouischama]

Well, "swing" was a dominant part of music in the World War II era. The "revival" didn't last long, but revivals never really last long.

[08WSChamps]

yea thts true and the thing is swing's really not tht bad but they over did it and killed practically like anything revived. I mean come on how many times were they going to repeat the phrase: "It's the NBA on TNT 2niiiiiitttteee" lol

[joshrodriguez88]

fruity

[chitoz666]

man I hated this intro wit passion!!!

[Billups97]

Thank God for the NBA...

[malubabii94]

I love this music good intro

[grapesofwraith1066]

Haha, I kinda like it - NBA on NBC so much more exhilarating though. This sounds more like a sitcom theme...

[WVFyc]

HAHA, trying to get on that Swing music fad that lasted, like, 2 months.

[BlackSted]

i really like the NBA on TNT theme song and the graphics they used from '95-'99

someone gotta have that posted please!!

[thatdudecozz89]

yeah, me 2...Both of them were great, man!!!

[08WSChamps]

yea they do have the older nba on tnt theme posted but the quality sucks balls.

[LuigiLaker]

And plz, try and find TBS theme from back in the day..

[LuigiLaker]

Omg..I hated this shit..TBS' on the other hand, their theme for NBA games was badass..

[e521soediv]

you can already see the Networks going to the stupid celebries

[Proteus60]

sorry if i make anyone mad but this theme is horrendous. just not adrenaline pumping enough. the two following themes that tnt used were far superior

[TRJ22487]

Tuesday Wednesday Thursday....Tuesday Wednesday Thursday....Tuesday Wednesday Thursday...

[RyySin]

Yeah. Vlade was in there painting a door. Someone comes up to him and says "hey, I thought you were good in the paint". har har har

[cibida1]

LMAO...That's the NBA at it's best.

Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. lol.

Fuck you Stern!!!

[TRJ22487]

The only reason I can remember that commercial is that I vividly remember it being referenced on Saturday Night Live back in 2000

[MegaLink08]

@TRJ22487 Where can I find that song!!!!!!

[Rucks90]

No! This was the 1998-1999 NBA ON TNT THEME for the 1998-1999 Lockout season!

[RyySin]

Well, they might have used it for that season as well, but like i said before, I took this from the into to the Kings home opener against the Jazz in 1999-00.

[heroguy1111]

i love this theme it makes you happy and hype for the nba i love jazz music anyways, i hope nba on tnt bring it back, do u people know where i can download this music thank u very much?

[joekiddlouischama]

Actually, I'm pretty sure that TNT only used this one for the lockout-shortened 1999 season, not 2000. To use a swing theme marked an intriguing change of pace.

[RyySin]

This was taken from the Kings home opener during the 99-2000 season

[joekiddlouischama]

It was the holdover from the 1999 season, then, and TNT must have changed tunes at some point during the '99-'00 season.

[joekiddlouischama]

@RyySin TNT probably made the change after the start of that season, then.

[spursadam7]

Oh S***, I remember this Crap Ass theme Song!!!!!!

[thatdudecozz89]

In my opinion, it was OK, but I prefer

the ones they used before then over this one.
