1988 NBA on CBS Intro

CBS Sports used this same basic intro for many years. This particular introduction is from November 26, 1988, when the Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers met for the first time since the 1988 Finals. The Pistons won 102-99.

Great rivalry between these teams. I wish I had seen it up close (I was four at the time).

@gamelover1949: I was 12 in 1988, and while I know I'm being heavily biased when I say this, mid-to-late 80's basketball was BY FAR the best period in NBA history.

@SwozyGustafsson I completely agree with u on that because it was about the love of the game back then now its all about money!!

I remember this intro and I remember the game which the Pistons won. After all these years, my hatred for the Lakers still burns hot.

These old school intros really psych you up before the game unlike the talking heads we have today.

One of the best ever.
