[somebody331000]

Needs more COWBELL

[asdfjkc]

YES! AND THE FOUL!

[TheIm2BiZ11]

Look up the song Nelly - Heart of a Champion. It sounds exactly like this song

[MrLilTISalmon]

@TheIm2BiZ11 he used the beat

[mguy091]

"Yesssss!!!"

[asdfjkc]

best NBA theme song ever. Too bad every time I hear it I think of the Kings getting screwed by the refs though :(

[revengeofbutthead]

if you don't get pumped up with this song, then you're already dead

[evasquez7]

Brings back memory's of the Kobe/Shaq Lakers dynasty. Can't bellieve that was already 10-12 years ago.

[MrAkuma125]

You're watching the NBA live on NBC! (so epic!)

[kenrickeason]

Micheal jordan's album of greatness!

[Knifakingful]

This is Michael Jordan's alarm when he wakes up in the morning

[GrimmMrGrimm]

Gotta have more cowbell!

[megawinner9]

I know now why Michael Jordan dominated the 90s. Who wouldnt get pumped up after listening to this???

[megawinner9]

this theme gets me pumped!!!!

[onin1974]

Who's the composer?

[SlAyErPaTh117]

ALL HE DOES IS LIN

[Mercury12000]

NBA on NBC vs Mortal Kombat..... best theme?

[LogoAttitude]

What if NBC adopted this theme for all its sports telecasts? Would be weird hearing this on Sunday Night Football

[riceahoy]

I HEAR COWBELL, MORE COWBELLS!!!

[ndejuan2000]

This is when I love the NBA the most

[JeremyLadasChannel]

they need to bring this theme back when you think of the nba you think of this theme

[Rome1414]

the NBA should just acquire the rights to this song and put it in contract that any NBA broadcast has to start with this song

[jeffrey305able]

thumbs up if the nba logo player looks like shawn bradley lol

[billdoiron]

@jeffrey305able

Too bad it's Jerry West.

[hbrenner]

honestly 3 dislikes? did you not get pumped up by this song?

[rebelsun]

this is what plays before I have sex.

[SimuLord]

@rebelsun This plays before I have sex, after Bob Costas has narrated the history of my relationship up to that point.

[FootballRob2010]

@SimuLord Well it's been quite a rocky journey up to this point filled with its highs, and its lows, but one things for sure, tonight will be a spectacle of sorts...the likes of which we are not soon to forget.....Im Bob Costas along side Bill Walton, Hubert Davis, Jeff Van Gundy, Marv Albert, Mike Breen , Hubie Brown, and Hana Storm

[sh00nmeister]

Stern and the players are both fools. One of the agreements for the lockout ending should have been to have this theme brought back.

[TOCR815]

This theme song reminds me why I love basketball.

[XoSnipeMasterXo]

NFL on NBC best theme

[PepsiWarrior92]

Fun Fact: The guy who composed this masterpiece used to bang Oprah on occasion!!!!

[monzavideo]

More COWBELL!!!!!

[thelittlemind]

i just realized you only see one leg on the guy :D hit F13 too zoom in on it

[codename672]

Nba on espn/abc owns all this piece of shit themes

[BronFlocka]

I think of Michael Jordan in the '98 Finals every time I hear this. This theme perfectly describes my initial love for the game.

[ForestKid408]

Ahh the good ole' days of the NBA.

[jleafman10]

2012 Sunday NBA Playoff Tripleheader 12:30 p.m. Heat vs. Bulls 3 p.m. Thunder vs. Grizzlies 5:30 Mavericks vs. Lakers. One can dream right? I miss this dearly.

[NoisyStepsTV]

this is the nba song...when I watch the nba on nbc I get excited with it's intro and bob costa talking nowadays not so much with TNT and ABC cause their song is not the nba

[MultiZiggy23]

@NoisyStepsTV what do you mean it's not the NBA?

[ilivewiththis]

@MultiZiggy23 How dare you even compare this one to TNT crap shit?

[MultiZiggy23]

@ilivewiththis this ones good to I think the part from 150 on is better then most of the TNT versions but overall the TNT theme is better

[ChinoNYC76]

Bar none, this is the best theme that any network has ever had to start any NBA broadcast. Better than TBS, TNT, and even ABC.

[JeremyTheGreat11]

@ChinoNYC76 I think if any network comes close, its the NFL network. This is aweome!

[thedude19766]

@ChinoNYC76 what about cbs's back in the 80's?

[35dangel]

nbc is my favorite sports network

[bakugandude555]

miami heat sucks

[blakedmc1989]

@bakugandude555 more like Flopami Breeze

[DaGreedyGamer]

you know somethings good if the likes vs dislikes means that the dislike bars been smashed out of existence.

[HardikG121]

back in the Jordan era..........

[MultiZiggy23]

NBA on TNT is better

[rjl518]

@MultiZiggy23 NO WAY!!!

This song IS the NBA!!!

[MultiZiggy23]

@rjl518 this song is good but I think its just so hyped up because of the era it was played in with Jordan and the TNT theme is better IMHO

[976thedude]

1 person works for ABC

[charlosgibson]

great memories with this song

[superben790]

National Basketball Association



[soshiderek]

this brings back so many memories!!

[neomysterio]

What does NBA stand for?

[bwestnig]

Reggie Miller, MJ, Stockton Malone, Barkley,Ewing, and so many others. Nba has fell off since players like these retired and nba left nbc

[JHollowayNetwork]

The song is called "Roundball Rock" composed and recorded by John Tesh in 1990. it was used until NBC's coverage of the NBA games were dropped in 2002.

[climbingwalls24]

best sports theme of the networks. i can't put this above the nfl primetime music, but still really good.

[MultiZiggy23]

@climbingwalls24 yeah all the primetime songs are pure legendary NFL on CBS is my favorite theme of all time

[dj9volt]

Im not a big sports person but ill be damned if this was not the best sports tv theme. Thanks for posting, makes me feel 9 again.

[jeffrey305able]

classic nba!!!

[rr0724]

Nelly made a song for NBA on NBC youtube.com/watch?v=9jwZBqGPgV­E :)))))

[TitoOfficial]

Damn, I miss this theme I wish NBC still had the rights.

[markymarkbb]

Thank god for John Tesh

[Chechox9]

Final seconds of the 4th quarter, Jordan against Rusell, he dribbles, Russel fells, and Jordan make the Basket. 88-86 for the Bulls.

[NPRMc]

Pippen for two! YES!

[MrManiacshane]

NBA TIME!!!!!!

[Dakdizzy]

game time i miss this

[iloveursis]

needs more motherfuckin cowbell...

[deputy0]

I used to love how after the pause at 1:49, Marv Albert would start talking at 1:51 with "Coming to you live from a sold out (insert stadium name) where more than (insert capacity) are on hand to watch (insert star player) and the (insert team name) go up against (insert star player) and the (insert team name) in what is sure to be a playoff-like atmosphere."

[njb7568]

@deputy0 This may be one of the greatest YouTube comments of all-time; nailed it.

[Mariofanman100]

@deputy0

lol ya :)

[j0hnnyb0y91]

@deputy0 Jim Fagan's voiceover starting at 1:51: "The NBA On NBC. Tonight, its Game six of the 1998 NBA Finals between the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz!"

[s4evr23]

@deputy0 I totally agree, gave me goosebumps..

[andrewphbrown]

@deputy0 agreeed, gives me chills

[numan1]

@deputy0 10/10, 5 star post nigga, good job. Brings me back memories.

[Bsktballr025]

Reminds me of the Lakers 3-peat of the early 00's, this would come on after the commercials " Lakers basketball is brought to you by" stu lantz and the greatest commentator in sports history Chick Hearn RIP

[FrozenInfernoZ93]

Ahhhhhh, the nostalgia of the good old days when I was a little boy watching the NBA on NBC!

[mburmy]

1. Versus is becoming the NBC Sports Network on January 2, 2012.

2. That network carries tape-delay NBA Development League games on late Saturday nights starting in January.

KEEP HOPE ALIVE...

[1Ksheffi]

I remember this theme just like yesturday. When I heard this a kid my eyes grew wide and I shouted

GAMETIME!

[HailDaFins]

GO Miami HEEEEEEEAAAAAAATTTTTTTT

[dodgerstakeit13]

At minute 1:50, I can still hear the crowd getting pumped and cheering in the background as mark tries to talk over them. I was young but u can't beat this. The one they use today sucks

[Greeneyez2475]

I always liked when they started the games with 1:50

[RockyBalboa211]

The one thing John Tesh gave to the world, and it is glorious! :D

[chris10468]

NBC should use ths song for the Stanley Cup Finals and bring Marv Albert back

[Ezema25]

@chris10468 hell no....

[zzyzx0788]

Cant not think of the Bulls

[97jfg]

go 76ers

[Pharaohman8]

It's too bad the NBA, along with the NFL has become increasingly 'pussified' taking away hard fouls from the game and just enabling superstars to do whatever they want on the court. MJ had to contend with the bad boy Pistons and tough Knicks teams. Today a little hand slap on a dribbler puts them at the line.

Basically this music makes me remember the times when it took tough men to play NBA basketball

[ItsTheCos]

@Pharaohman8 "Whaaaaaa?"- Al Horford.

[gatester311]

Memories when the nba was a major factor.lol

[MontrealCharlie]

HI MOOTIKINS

[wiseye61]

[blagojexinho]

Jiggaboojam is back? I am pleased by this

[toluca670]

FUCK YEAH APEHOOP

[KlassiK407]

Its been too long, so happy to hear this again :D

[cls2k6]

As soon as they came to a handshake in that small crummy office at 3am...This music started playing out of nowhere. Just like it should have. ;)

[zabrak999]

DAMN YOU 4CHAN

[eiufrank]

apehoop is not a sport

[DeserterTownsend]

WE IN DA NBA NOW BITCHES

[Sixtown13]

[HypaspistOrange]

MOOTDUSKY

[fpsanth]

[vecman86]

[thomo1888]

RHYTHMIC SLAPPING NOISES

[TheBenekin81]

FINALLY! Oh my god there's going to be a season. I can't stop playing this song.

[Kazisho]

moot should go to /a/ again. ;_;

[cvelenba]

NBA IS BACK !!!

[AfterThisShutUp]

WE NBA NOW

[mosnaidei]

MOOT IS GOD

[Mrobs15]

WE NBA NOW



[lizzly25]

WE NBA NOW!!!!!!!!!

[cibida1]

[s86phoenix]

tentative agreement to end the lockout!

[Greeneyez2475]

@s86phoenix Funny. Just came out of an unofficial CBA meeting...

Figured there would be idiots like you in a place this this

[IMFROMHOUSTON]

When i was younger these theme always made me go grab my basketball

[daddynab]

im mad cuz i cant download this >:(

[SelectiveINfusion]

Search "round ball rock live", Tesh performs it live...beautifully.

[josiah85667]

I'm a teenager you guys had the NBA on a good channel now I have to deal with crappy NBA on ABC-ESPN

[MrAmars1]

Los Angeles Lakers vs New Jersey Nets 2003 finals memories

[TheSmartandrew51]

the nba started to suck when nbc stopped broadcasting and craig sager and his ridiculous suits were allowed in an nba arena

[bigravensfan21]

@TheSmartandrew51 What did Craig Sager sue the NBA for?

[ThePhenomm]

This is the 272nd consecutive sellout crowd as the Chicago Bulls visits Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks. Good times!

[ImaruSama]

i want to play this at my wedding, funeral, and while going to heaven....

[julianheart]

@ImaruSama LMAO

[bgagnon1123]

This song reminds me of the days when it was fun to watch the NBA, and how good the coverage used to be. I actually remember being afforded the opportunity as a kid to sit down on a SUNDAY AFTERNOON to watch Jordan and the Bulls in the NBA Finals. Today's NBA product is painful enough without having Mike Breen, Stu Scott and the boys on ABC/ESPN constantly sniffing the jock straps of Kobe and LeBron at every opportunity. Bring back the NBA on NBC!

[TheMrplayaplaya]

This reminds me of those great Sunday's watching Jordan and the Bulls rip through the league in the 90's. Good times!!

[celticsman1]

This is when the NBA was worth watching. You had your classic match ups, double headers . classic rosters, announcers. Bring this magic back!!!!!!!

[EdmacZ]

Roundball Rock IS basketball .NBC made the NBA. When this song played, you knew you were in for something special. Especially during the playoffs.

[MontrealCharlie]

I can't believe John Tesh composed this masterpiece. John. Fucking. Tesh.

[fortminor85]

@MontrealCharlie Bullshit. You Serious?

[MontrealCharlie]

@fortminor85 I shit you not. This is a John Tesh original.

[ChandlerPol]

@fortminor85 He's correct, John Tesh.

[Wehategod]

Hello and welcome the greatest Arena in the World Madison Square Garden where the New York Knicks will play the New Jersey Nets who are looking for there first road win. Tonight Patrick Ewing will face off against Benoit Benjamin and we will return after these messages for the Line ups and the singing of the National Anthem by 2 time NBA Champion and New York Knick Legend Walt Clyde Frazier . I miss the NBA of the 1990's and early to mid 2005

[Tamang4CA]

heart of a champion

[anthonydo503]

Such a throwback! ABC/ESPN sucks!!

[jwsu2003]

Bringing this song back will restore the NBA as well as NBC!!

[vnyc82]

KNICKS VS. BULLS!!!!!

[dorsman07]

The best NBA theme all-time.

[bgagnon1123]

1:50 - I think I just sported wood...

[xxM0nk3yzxx]

NBA needs to return to NBC!!!

[matser08]

Nba died when Fox and News Corp. convinced them that Unions are bad things.

[cheerdaddy667]

the video of tesh and crew doing this live is awesome..... round ball rock at red rock, youtube it.

[icefrappe]

nba died when abc got the broadcasting rights

[vybzcartel1]

Memories!

[PJSkins26]

Game 2 1991 NBA Finals: "Here's Jordan.................OHHHHH A SPECTACULAR MOVE BY MICHEAL JORDAN!" God I miss Marv Albert Calling games on NBC especially during the glorious early 1990's of Jordan, Bird, Magic, Shaq, Barkley etc.

[LibertyInProgressNOW]

Bring back NBA on NBC with Marv Albert as the announcer!

[TechnoWaffol]

This song might as well be an icon of classical music. It's that powerful to me. The fact that this song played every time before the very best players in the world were about to display their greatest game just made this song synonymous to greatness/legendary/victory to me.... I want this song played at my funeral.

[J0HN119]

Guys go to phonezoo.com and make this ur ringtone for free!! I did and im not just advertising for them

[bertotaker]

Tonight, The Golden State Warriors take on The Los Angeles Clippers!!!............why not??? why always chicago, new york, lakers, portland, houston and orlando???

[lazminit03]

"Tonight, Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, between the Utah Jazz & the Houston Rockets! This is the Summit in Houston..." Ah memories!!!

[kylesteinhauser]

THIS is back when the NBA was cool. They should pump this in the room where they're negotiating a new CBA 24/7 until they figure it out

[de132]

@kylesteinhauser Do you not remember 1998? There was a lockout then too, and then they agree. The players got the bad end of the deal, the only reason this one is taking longer is because the players want a better deal

[boicsunla05]

@kylesteinhauser I guess they did because the lockout is over. I wish the Christmas Day games were on NBC. That would be classic.

[glencoe428]

Hello everyone

welcome to the Memorial Colesium where the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Portland Trail Blazers.

I am Marv Albert alongside me is Mike Fratello

What are the keys to today's game

[32abazz]

@glencoe428 That brought a tear to my eye man :'( man. I this generation of basketball!

[sodapo461]

Man I hate that ABC has the Finals...

[KevServo]

"John, it's beatiful, but it's not perfect. You see....I gotta have more cowbell!"

[Coolyfett]

Bulls vs Sonics 1996 finals man I loved the Sonics and hated Jordan and the Bulls...me and my brother would like 12 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for every game..my brother was a Bulls fan

[s4mnoon3z]

i remember running around in my underwear as a kid holding a rubber basketball while humming this theme in my head
