Now theres basketball hall of fame and this right here is the HALL OF CHAMPIONS WHERE CHAMPIONS ALWAYS LIVE AND THESE GUYS HAVE THE HALL OF CHAMPIONS RING
when im 20 and i see this theme i will always remember doing all my homework (not very well) as quick as i could to run down and catch the celtics vs. lakers games in 2010
@FutureMVPHere If you're running Mozilla Firefox, go to "Add Ons" and search for Download Helper by mig. Its icon should be three balls colored yellow, red, and blue. If you can't find it, scroll down to the "view all results" and it should be the first one. If not, try something else. Note: If you're running Windows, some of the video clips were made from Quick Time, so Windows Media Player may not be able to read it. Either select a player for each vid, or download VLC Media Player.
This gets me choked up every single time. No other sport has a video montage that comes even close to this. I always look forward to this in the finals.
The two people who disliked this are football fans. Face it, the best theme on Fox was the one for the All Star Game/World Series. Now they got jack. Football, awesome, but that theme just can't compare.
They should include MJ and Randy Brown battling for the ball in celebration from the end of Game 6 Bulls-Sonics 1996. Also should include MJ's pose making that last shot vs Utah in 1998.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS OPENING VIDEO, it gives me chills every year and I'm so glad that they have kept the tradition going with this opening every year, I hope they never change it :) You know you're watching the Finals when this video is played before the games :)
this brings tears to my eyes, some of the images here, i remember when i was a little kid, like that duncan shot over sprewell, maddddddddd goosebumps!
this is the nba finals not about only good basketball players, james has never won a championship, they only made it one time and got murdered.....so why would they put lebron in this video?????
@pasadena1992 yeah man...i get pumped watching this...this is why more people watch nba finals then any other championship event...well more people watch superbowl more
Okay in all aspects NBC has ABC coverage beat but this is the ONE great thing ABC has. I love this promo, it gives me chills man. I come here on Youtube and play it before all the Bulls REG season games I watch (I live in Chicago area).
They altered it a bitm because it used t say: "get ready for basketball battle, the world series of basketball"-- that was the version the years the Heat, Mavs and Cavs. Spurs played for the championship.
Don't you ever underestimate the heart of a champion!
