00: Jackson turns, fires, AND HITS! 01: Crowd: DEFENSE! DEFENSE! Bothered by Lue, Iverson, YES! How about tha... AND THEN STEPS OVER TYRONN LUE! 02: But the Lakers have, a one point lead. Webber, back to Bibby has the open shot Crowd: YEAH!
96:The Chicago Bulls have won the '95-'96 NBA Championship! 97: Stockton! Open! 3! YES! John Stockton sends the Utah Jazz to the NBA Finals! 98: Jordan! Open! CHICAGO WITH THE LEAD! 99: Sprewell! He's underneath! Tries to free himself! And he can't! The San Antonio Spurs have won their first NBA championship!
90: And we welcome year to the premiere telecast of the NBA on NBC 91: What a spectacular move by Michael Jordan! 92: The Chicago Bulls have won the NBA championship for the second straigh season! 93: Here's Paxson for 3! YES! 94: The New York Knicks headed to the NBA Finals to face the Houston Rockets! 95: Miller for 3! And he got it! Reggie Miller with a clutch trey and it's 105-102. And a steal! Miller retreats to the 3 point line and hits again!
This is the closest thing i can find that sounds like the theme actually used in a game (that first section that is in the first 30 seconds) the whole one is about 55 seconds
The very first year, Bob Costas was the Play-by-Play Man for the NBA on NBC. But it has been Marv Albert who has been the NBA on NBC Play-by-Play Man until the end in 2002.

90s NBA the greatest era of all time, like 2days superstars like James wont even have a chance to win a title, what a sad generation.

Listening to these Theme Songs brings Marv Albert's voice in my mind.
Does anyone else get that feeling sometimes?

@Jiltedin2007. I always think of his call from the 1991 NBA Finals..."OH! A SPECTACULAR MOVE, BY MICHAEL JORDAN!"

@bakerandbaker1 "Yes, and it counts" will always be the words I will always remember from Marv Albert.

It brings me memories. Thanks a lot for uploading this video. NBC had better NBA courage back then. Better than CBS or ABC.
