NBA on NBC theme was the greatest sports theme ever

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

This new NFL on NBC Sunday Night Football "theme" is pretty tight too (like the music the play before the commericals, not that song with Pink in it or whatever) but still can't touch the NBA on NBC theme.

Also, if you are an American and have no idea what I am talking about then get out of my life, seriously never post on TPWW again.

[RoXer]

WORD

And i can't stand that Pink nonsense either.

[OssMan]

Nah I can't stand that song they play, also Football Night in America is like the worst highlight show of all time

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

NBA on NBC theme was also used on the NBA Jam games

[RoXer]

Only in the arcade versions though I think.

[RoXer]

It wasn't on SNES

[DaveWadding]

I have it as a ringer on my phone :love:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah mighta just been the arcade, coulda sworn I remember it from the "home verison" but I dunno. That was a pretty long time ago

Maybe it was on NBA Jam T.E. or something

[RoXer]

Nah, T.E. didn't have it either.

[RoXer]

On SNES

On a related note, they ruined Monday Night Football by putting it on ESPN.

[Nervous Ferret]

GO TONY
GO TONY
GO TONY

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

On a related note, they ruined Monday Night Football by putting it on ESPN.How?

What is the difference? Now Sunday night football is on free tv instead, don't see any different at all

[DrA]

It feels just more like Sunday Night Football from last year.

Plus, the tradition for years was that Monday Night Football was supposed to have the best game of the week, which isn't so much the case anymore.

Not to mention that the new commentary team is nothing more than below par.

[DrA]

It's also looks that ABC could not get a contract renewal or something similar, so they did anything they could to keep it within Disney, even if it meant taking away the quality of the show or whatever.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah the commentary does suck, has sucked for a while though (Dennis Miller?) plus the games sucking isn't really ESPN's fault...since that has also happened a lot in the past. I don't know why the Patriots don't just play every Monday Night, since they are the greatest team in the history of the NFL.

[Nervous Ferret]

Nah they're so good every game would be a huge blowout

[DrA]

The more I think about it, the more it kinda irritates me. If NBC wanted the NFL so badly, why couldn't they just have CBS, Fox, and NBC/ABC show three primetime games instead of the two we get now, leave Sunday Night Football on ESPN, and have Monday Night Football on ABC/NBC?

We're just getting screwed out of a game here.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

didn't John Tesh do the NBA on NBC theme?

Also the theme for college hoops on CBS is/was pretty sweet if I remember

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

yeah its nice but it cant touch the NBA on NBC theme, the day the NBA left the NBC network was a dark in basketball just for that reason

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

The more I think about it, the more it kinda irritates me. If NBC wanted the NFL so badly, why couldn't they just have CBS, Fox, and NBC/ABC show three primetime games instead of the two we get now, leave Sunday Night Football on ESPN, and have Monday Night Football on ABC/NBC?

We're just getting screwed out of a game here.That is why NCAA Football is so much better, if a game in your area sucks they are able to switch to a game that doesnt. Can't do that with the NFL though

[Lotus]

Word life. NBA on NBC was the shit. I hope the NBA comes back to NBC, because ABC blows a serious dick.

Walton and Tolbert are tight though.

[Stickman]

CBC's hockey night in Canada theme is the best theme EVER. It's only been around for like 50 years.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah I bet the NHL on Outdoor Life Network has a pretty sweet theme too

[Stickman]

I think Hockey Night in Canada's theme is the only theme that if you here it you know what it is. I'm sure every Canadian knows the theme, even if they don't like hockey. Well maybe not every Canadian, like the Asians and East Indians who are Canadian yet don't speak a lick of french or english and who refuse to adapt to the Canadian way of life.

[Boondock Saint]

NBA on NBC. :love: The only thing John Tesh has ever been good for was composing that theme.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Watching games from the 90's on ESPN Classic is the best shit since the basketball was better and they have the NBA on NBC theme

[Nervous Ferret]

According to sTiMa NBC has the best sports coverage. Can't remember wheerre I saw you say that.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I don't remeber but i mighta said that , I do like their "style" I guess though (graphics, overall "picture quality," all types of ill shit)

[loopydate]

Absolutely agree. The NBA on NBC theme always got me psyched for whichever game was coming up, even if I really didn't care who was playing. It just had a "big-time" feel to it.

Same way the CBS March Madness theme does now.

[D Mac]

Yeah mighta just been the arcade, coulda sworn I remember it from the "home verison" but I dunno. That was a pretty long time ago

Maybe it was on NBA Jam T.E. or something

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I knew somebody was gonna post that shit, the NBA JAM knock off

That isn't what I am talking about

[D Mac]

But it has the theme, fucker.

[owenbrown]

I'll rep the first person to find the audio or any video with the theme. :cool:

Roundball Rock
Main article: Roundball Rock
Roundball Rock is the theme music NBC used for its game telecasts from 1990 to 2002. The theme became synonymous with NBA basketball, especially since it was used at the height of the Michael Jordan era (and, by the same token, the height of the NBA's popularity). Written by John Tesh, Roundball Rock went through several slight variations (including two different versions used in 2001 for going into commercial breaks, and a separate rendition for NBC's WNBA telecasts) but remained virtually the same for all twelve years of its existence.

The theme was sampled by Nelly in his song "Heart of a Champion" and was used in both an NBA on NBC video game and the movie Like Mike. Both Conan O'Brien and Craig Kilborn paid comedic tributes to the theme when The NBA on NBC ended, and John Tesh was asked about the theme by O'Brien when he appeared on his show in late 2004. During that same episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the theme was played over footage of the recent and infamous Pacers-Pistons brawl.

YESSS GREATEST THEME EVER

That video just came me an erection

[Triple A]

omg totally just "marked out" for that video. Like seriously right now.

[Triple A]

Like the intro with the NBC logo got me so excited. Then the theme goes into full gear and I got chills.

[DrA]

WHAT TIME IS IT?! Game time. Who.

[darkpower]

That theme brings back memories of me watching the Bulls winning their third NBA title in a row. This was when I actually gave a shit about basketball.

The theme was catchy and was able to stick into your head.

I also like both NFL on CBS themes (the one that they used when they first got the NFL back and the one they are using now) and the MLB on FOX theme (that theme is the shit, gives you that dramatic feel, especially during the playoffs). The NFL on FOX theme (possibly the one that EVERYONE is familiar with and gets overused sometimes) is another I like, but not as much as their MLB one.

[D Mac]

I knew somebody was gonna post that shit, the NBA JAM knock off

That isn't what I am talking about

Oh yeah and FYI, it's from Midway. The SAME FUCKING COMPANY that makes NBA Jam.


Dumbass :p

[ct2k]

Bill Walton:eek:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Oh yeah and FYI, it's from Midway. The SAME FUCKING COMPANY that makes NBA Jam.


Dumbass :p
Its not the same

I didnt realize it was made by the same company tho, doesn't really make sense. Since that game just seemed like a cheap knock off


I really don't know how anyone can watch that video then not agree with my claim about the NBA on NBC theme being the G.O.A.T

[D Mac]

I thought it was pretty fun myself.

[The Outlaw]

Yeah, no doubt the best theme ever. It is now my ringtone.
