NBA on NBC 2001 intro (Lakers/76ers Game 3)

NBC ditched the familiar 'lasers creating the NBC logo' intro after the 2000 season, replacing it with a much shorter version in 2001. Note that this version does not include Jim Fagan in any capacity.

Damn Right, The NBA on NBC was way better...to hell with NBA on ABC, it ain't got shit on NBC.

Watch this and then watch an ABC intro. You'll want to puke.

I'm pretty sure they didn't slightly alter the theme every season, although I know during those 12 years they did a couple times. But this version I think is my favorite. The 2000-2001 NBA season was a great one.

@LilHulk08 Hell yeah! NBA on NBC was the best. ABC/ESPN really f*cked up the NBA now. ABC SUCKS!

If NBC ever gets its head out its a** and dumps Notre Dame football in favor of NBA games, they should form the NBC logo using lasers and place that logo into the 2001 sequence. That would be perfect.

If the NBA went back to NBC, the NBA would be GREAT again. Just look how NBC hypes up NFL games on Sunday nights, ABC just plain sucks, the picture quality on that channel is not even good.

mark jackson and jeff van gundy suck balls.

Bring back Marv Albert, Steve "Snapper" Jones, and Bill Walton.

I'll take this shorter version of the song and intro to just about whatever nba on nbc throws out at ya. I will say that nba on abc finals intros the past couple years having been pretty good and got a little hyped. But ABC is just so inconnect with their broadcasters, music intros and everything. how many years did it take abc to finally get a regular pre-game.

Silly Philly, you can't beat LA!!!!

LAKERS 4 LIFE!

I loved the NBA on NBC. I especially loved the one where it had the NBA players and reflect on past times and everything. It gives the game hype. I tell ya it ain't the same on ABC at all.
