NBA on NBC theme was the greatest sports theme ever
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. |

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

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. |

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.

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.

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. |

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. |

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.

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

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. |

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. |

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