It was just so cool! I have it downloaded and whenever i listen to it i get so pumped. I feel like its a Game 7 vs the pacers or the heat... man it brings back memorizes. Im listening to it right now and i feel energized and rejuvenated.

I thought a nice change of topic would be in order, considering the season's over and the draft is still a month away.

haha I know exactly what you mean!

I just picture 3mins left in a Knicks-Heat tied game and a crucial timeout being called and the music coming on a beautiful Sunday. WOW how I miss those days!

that theme music was the best...waking up on sunday morning & hearing that music at noon just made you think basketball...

btw, they use that theme music on NBA TV now...but it's just not the same...NBA on ABC is so drab & uninteresting.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

i glad you made this post because i thought i was the only one. i love that song, makes you wanna just go out and play ball. nbatv just plays a snippet but the nbc one was great. joe buddens(rapper for those who dont know) made a song using the nba on nbc song.

the music was great. What wasnt great was Bob Costas then saying "Michael" 900 times during a Bulls game. Worst guy to call a game ever.

Costas sucked. But it's hard to call anyone worse than Brent Musberger. Dick Stockton's up there though.

Marv's still the best for me.

Loved Walton with Snapper Jones too.

to me, nbc was the only real station for the nba. the introductions to the game, the music, the presentation. it is great. i loved the christmas games as well as the playoffs. marv albert and matt goukas were great along with steve snapper jones and the "czar". unfortunately we have to watch the dry presentation of basketball on abc for another 5 years. and after the five years i don't think they will let the nba go since they lost their football contract. i rather have cbs, which ruled the 80's nba tv, do it than abcrap.
