I may have been a baby when CBS last aired NBA games, but I'd rather watch it on there or NBC, rather than the greedy clowns of ESPN/ABC Sports. CBS and NBC did a terrific job in airing games and their coverage was top notch. Did CBS air Lakers, Celtics and Sixers almost all the time? YES. Did NBC have a love-fest Jordan and the Bulls' all the time? YES. Every network had it's faults airing the NBA, but CBS and NBC were LEGENDARY. ESPN/ABC is a joke.
@brianmears33886 жыл бұрын
The two networks are going to have a love fest with the dominant teams of their respective eras. The Bulls first trip to the finals would've been that year, if they'd been able to win a game at the Palace, since they won all 3 games of that ECF series against the Pistons in Chicago. But they still weren't quite good enough to beat the bad boys that year, which would change the next year, when NBC picked up right where CBS left off.

That was sad when CBS lost the NBA package to NBC, CBS"s coverage was great so were the announcers. But it signaled a change when the 90's came in as professional sports leagues were changing television contracts. MLB moved to CBS that year from NBC, The NBA went too NBC that following season. The NFL moved to FOX in '94 from CBS. Baseball came back to NBC in "96 for a few seasons, Fox also signed on with baseball. The NFL returned too CBS in 98 but left NBC without the NFL. The NHL was jumping from network to network. Some decade that was in pro sports.
@chrisguardiano61432 жыл бұрын
You are totally right about the NHL in the 1990's. They started the decade on SportsChannel America which was an absolute failure because large portions of the country couldn't see games. The only way you could watch the NHL without a cable subscription or even with one in many cases in the early 1990's was to watch the NHL All Star Game on NBC or live in an area that had access to CBC & Hockey Night in Canada. Then from 1993-1995 ESPN had exclusive rights and then in 1995 FOX joined them for 4 years until 1999, when ESPN regained exclusive rights and put games on ABC. ESPN then lost the rights during the 2004-2005 lockout & NBC got the exclusive rights from 2006-2021. Now the NHL is back on ESPN/ABC & TNT gets the rights to the NHL for the first time.

Terrence Clay The NBA’s popularity was skyrocketing in the late 80’s and David Stern wanted more exposure which means he wanted more than 15 games a year shown on network television and CBS didn’t have the room to broadcast double and triple headers every Sunday like NBC could because of their NFL and college basketball coverage and they signed deals with baseball and the Winter Olympics making it even more difficult to accommodate the NBA’s request for more over the air telecasts so they were prettymuch destined to cut ties with the NBA

@@tigernike23 , Why is this freaking freak commenting so many times? Doesn’t he have a freaking life to live ! On a lazy Saturday afternoon, I am looking for Lakers news ! I can’t believe,that the Lakers’ front office dismantled a very defensive-minded championship team (Javale McGee,Carusso, KCP, Khuzma, Dwight Howard, etc…),for a team made up of old players,that were way,way,way past their primes (Carmelo,Ariza , Westbrick, etc…). I can’t believe ,that these people get paid handsomely,only to dismantle Championship-caliber teams !

NBC got the NBA JUST as the Bulls were beginning their Championship dynasty, and the greatest sports run in history, the golden age of the sport.

When TNT came around at the end of 1988, you had more competition chipping away at the NBA on CBS. Not to mention TBS was still carrying games. CBS got caught in a squeeze. From the beginning(1973-74), they didnt start televising every Sunday until after the X-Mas game. During the tape delayed era(pre Bird-Magic)they would televise a few FRI night early season games tape delay, then in the new year is when weekly coverage started. When Bird and Magic came in, it still took a few years for the public to "catch on" or "come back"(1980-81, Bird-Magic's 2nd yr, NBA ratings were at an all time low). The NBA finally picked up steam again in the 81-82 season, especially the playoffs, none of the '82 finals games were tape delayed(i know, because i watched every game). By the time Michael Jordan came to the league(1984-85), CBS started carrying the NCAA and the tournament, the original NBA on ESPN was around, the USA network and TBS were televising NBA games, so if you had cable(like my family did), CBS was on the back burner(at least during the week). I remember during timeouts of the CBS telecast, there would be commercials for the CBS Sports Spectacular and in the later years, they would go over to the major golf tournaments(for a few minutes) so it looked like CBS had too much on it's plate, not to mention the MLB contract, which turned out to be a disaster.

elwin38 USA only carried a few NBA games during the mid 80’s as their main sports were the NHL until ESPN took over the US rights in 1986 and MLB until ESPN created SNB in 1987

ABC's coverage doesn't seem as majestic, focused, or classy as the later CBS years or NBC's. They seem more or less, like ESPN buying time on their sister network (via Disney) since the TV contract required at least 15 regular season slots and the NBA Finals on broadcast network TV. If ESPN had it their way, they would want all of the games on there.

Randy Dubin I think somebody has already written it in the comments. It's the song "The Last Waltz" from "The Band" wich appears in the great Scorsese documentary about "The Band". The documentary is also titled "The Last Waltz". On KZfaq you should find the song, if you search for The Last Waltz ending/outro, but also look for other clips from the documentary. It's worth it.
