ABC best work right here, and if they have to have the nba on abc, they could do an intro with this every year if they wanted change some things up every other year, but NBA on NBC is so much better than ABC
I love the Lakers too, it sucks the Lakers lost to the damn Celtics but Im glad the Boston/L.A. rivalry is back but it's not what it was 20 years when it was Magic vs Bird though, now it's Kobe vs Garnett which isn't even comparable to what the Magic vs Bird rivalry was. Lakers and Dodgers all the way!!
they put this video on the scoreboard in the arena before the finals games, i was at game 3 of the Finals in Cleveland a couple years ago, and it gave me chills!
Hands down NBC is better with NBA than ABC but I do give ABC credit with this. This is awesome. I love the part that says "The World Series of Basketball", because it is, just like the NCAA Final Four is the Super Bowl of Basketball. Hands down the NBA FINALS is better than WORLD SERIES because its not this play everyday and its over like that crap.
lol they have all the greats, jordan, bird, magic, and then they have KOBE AND DUNCAN and also the DETROIT PISTONS. Signs of things to come from these two being with the greats? Signs of the pistons in these years to be known as one of the greatest teams in their era? (im not counting ginobli)
thos video is sick awesome

I hope so. Good intro , NBC's was a good intro with one of the best themes for basketball but no highlights of the past.

What's happening? I am auditioning for the Heat mascot Burnie....I'd love to use some of this footage for my intro!
Would you consider emailing the WMA or MPEG to me?
If so, I will definitely return a favor...maybe even tickets if I get the job.
