Am I the only one who loved the NBA on NBC theme?

[Romo_To_Dez]

I miss the NBA being on NBC. The Networks that broadcast the NBA today are okay. But IMO no one covered better than NBC

No there are a lot of people that miss it. Brings back great memories.

 

[MC KAos]

absolutely not!! its, in my opinion, the greatest theme song to any sporting event EVER! ANY SPORT!! EVER!!

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

TNT is terrific, but it pales in comparison to NBC.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

NBC would really get me hyped up to watch NBA games. Especially during playoff times.

Makes me wonder how they would cover the playoffs right now with today's NBA stars

i hate that they play finals games so late! it would be the mavs or spurs in the finals, vs ET teams, yet the games dont start till 9ET?!?!?!?!? who gives a crap about pacific time zones that have no team in the finals? even when the lakers were in it, if the game is in the east, it should be a little earlier! no later than 7:30 local time!

also, back in the day the finals games on sunday were in the afternoon! why the hell are they all of the sudden at 9et on sundays? so stupid! i hate ABC/ESPN

They start at 8 don't they? 7 on Sundays. Doesn't seem bad to me.

Well the Lakers played in the Finals 3 straight years. I remember Game 2 and Game 5 of the 09/10 series being played at 7.

 

[rynochop]

Yep, it was the most recognizable, liked it. I couldn't even tell you abcespn theme music.

I don't like ESPN snf music, I know that much.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

John Tesh is the composer.

Did you know that John Tesh is an alien whose songs are actually messages sent to his home planet? Apparently, his planet is planning a full scale invasion of Earth. Or that's the rumor anyway.

The two Griz-Clips games are killing me so far. They weren't over until 11:30

 

[Biggems]

It is my second favorite theme....behind the MNF theme (not Hank)....I love the music playing and then the helmets smash into one another, and then a birdseye view of the stadium.....sends chills down my spine.

That's early.

 

[Biggems]

BTW........one thing I miss just as much as the NBA on NBC and that theme is the IBM presents "you make the call" segment during every MNF game.

 

[The30YardSlant]

I miss the NBA and NFL on NBC. Both had awesome themes, and NBC did the AFC games so much better than CBS IMO.

thats when the NFC was on CBS

I know, but CBS does the AFC now. The new CBS doesnt resemble the old NFC CBS at all. I always did like the AFC coverage on NBC better, though.

It stinks being a western conference fan living in the eastern time zone. I'm up till 1:00 a.m. routinely watching the late games. And if the Spurs play in a game that goes down to the last second... good luck trying to get to sleep right afterwards.
