NBA on CBS open - 1988

None did it better than CBS Sports. 20 years later, these classic opens stand the test of time. Sunday afternoons at 12:30pm, watching the game with friends, then hitting the court for a late afternoon of basketball.

the golden era of the NBA

Thank God CBS has kept their NCAA FOOTBALL intro. I really wish CBS would get the NBA back and bring some class back to the coverage - and return this intro. Then again, the entire league is different. IMO - the players cared more and played harder back in the 80's.

@tbone24100 (continued)

ESPN/ABC and TNT/CBS would continue to alternate each Conference Final, and then alternate the NBA Finals each year (exclusively on ABC or CBS in this case)

CBS would also pick up NBA playoff games that would otherwise only air on NBA TV.

@tbone24100 if possible, we could have both ABC and CBS covering NBA games, ABC still doing Sunday afternoon games, and CBS doing Saturday night games

future CBS NBA coverage might be jointly produced with Turner Sports, who already joins with CBS for March Madness, even using CBS's college hoops theme - thus, CBS could also use TNT's NBA theme in their coverage
