I was a very young child during the Lakers/Celtics rivalry in the 80's so I have to say the NBA on NBC and 90's basketball was the best decade the NBA ever had. No "Dream Teams" unless it was the Olympics. Olajuwan, Barkley, Jordan, Drexler, Mullin, Kemp, Malone, Garnett, Shaq, Ewing, Miller....all spread across the country. Damn good basketball.
I loved the Knicks back then. Yeah, they never got over the hump, but I still loved them. At least they beat the Bulls this game. This theme gives me goosebumps.
@willevans7586 well he was the one that held the knicks from getting to the finals, and think about is the time the knicks made it to the finals, it was during jordan had not played.
@greekgator01ss The Knicks/Spurs was NOT the worst finals ever!! It was a great finals because the spurs were on the verge of winning their first nba title in franchise history!! It was amazning!! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS GAME.
my God i cant explain the freakin goosebumps i get EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS THEME SONG FOR NBC!!!! man back in the day i used to get so freakin pumped up before the game cuz of that theme song!! FUCK ABS CBS TNT AND ALL THEM SHITTY ASS BROADCASTERS!!! PLEASE COME BACK NBC PLEASE!!!!
I never saw that intro that was awesome. I thought they stopped doing the long intro after 96. They had this intro in the 99-2000 for the game NBA Showtime.
Yeah me too I didn't know it either....But I was disappointed that Reggie Miller wasn't among the players on the clip. I guess it's because Indiana had disastrous season the year before.

Man, the 98-99 season just wasn't the same. The Knicks/Spurs was prob the worst finals ever. 99-00 was waay better but nothin compares to 96-98
