This is the definitive theme music for NBA basketball, no matter the era. I grew up watching the NBA on CBS, and was very upset when they let it go to NBC. The NBA hasn't been the same since.
High point of the C's-Lakers rivalry, but the 90's were better for the NBA. Anyone notice the similarites between this theme and their college basketball themes?
@mojomoxie75 THEY SURE DID. THAT ESPN ON ABC SHIT IS JUST THAT, SHIT. THIS THEME MUSIC SENDS CHILLS UP MY SPINE BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT THE DRAMATIC LAKERS-CELTICS NBA FINALS. LIKE INDYFAN22K SAID THE NBA NEEDS TO BE BACK ON CBS OR NBC BECAUSE THEIR THEMES BLOWS ABC'S OUT THE WATER.
I never watched the NBA when it was on CBS, but just going by this and a few other videos I've seen on YouTube, it looks better on CBS than on ABC. Of course, as we all know, NBC also had better NBA coverage than ABC.
It wasn't as good as the first theme CBS had back in the mid 70's, but it was tolerable, and did add some intrigue and anticipation for the game they were televising, more than I can say for the last 2 networks airing NBA games now, ABC & ESPN, that theme they're using is just nauseatingly bland and uninspiring garbage, has no essence whatsoever. Seems as if only Fox and CBS have any current sports theme songs today with any kind of gusto to them, at least where football is concerned.
