This collection of graphics were used by NBC for NBA telecasts during the 1991-1992 season. This was sourced from a tape used in the remote truck, which I then archived on S-VHS.
Music is "Roundball Rock" which was composed for one-time "Entertainment Tonight" anchor John Tesh. You can see him performing it live here: • The Untold Story Behin...

The best part of the "NBA on NBC" intro has always been the very beginning when the lasers form the NBC peacock and the music dramatically builds up to "Roundball Rock".

'Roundball Rock' by John Tesh & 'Sirius' by Alan Parsons Project were THE 2-song NBA soundtrack in the 90s. Tesh helped to glide you in to an afternoon of basketball, and Parsons Project reminded you that Michael Jordan was going to be the M.C. for the day. =) And yes, once 'Sirius' played, the Bulls already had a 20-point lead at the tip. XD

@faisalamalo3695 Жыл бұрын

Should note, this version of Roundball Rock used on telecasts is different than the original track that everyone shares and that FOX is using for College Basketball. The original track is more repetitive. This version used on NBC for games and promos is the version everyone is seeking.

NBC was Definitely NBC whenever the NBA came on and that Peacock forming then you knew it was time for the NBC On NBC. Bob Costas and Marv Albert were the main guys Marv Albert called every NBA Finals 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 01, 02 and Bob Costas called it in 98, 99 and 2000. Either way it was the best era in our time. We know we ain’t gonna see it again for the foreseeable future but it just brings our memories back when we were younger.

Beautiful quality as always, it really shines given that the source was directly from the source and not over the air.

Mike Tirico: You are looking at the brand spanking new Intuit Dome, here in Inglewood, California where tonight we have a rematch of last season first round playoff series. Last season, Luka Doncic knocked off the Clippers in 6 games to lead the Mavs to its first NBA Finals appearance since they won it all in 2011, eventually falling to the Boston Celtics, now the Mavericks want to get back to the Finals! Everything is brand new for the Clippers: a new stadium, new logo and hopefully a new start as the Clippers now have to go on after losing Paul George in free agency. But new additions Nic Batum, Derrick Jones Jr., and Mason Plumlee, hope to help James Harden and Kawhi Leonard steer the Clippers ship to their first championship in franchise history! And inside this spectacular new stadium, it’s the usual capacity crowd, better than 18,000 and they are ready for this playoff rematch! Good Sunday Evening everybody! Alongside the coach Stan Van Gundy and Grant Hill, Mike Tirico with you. We’ll check in with Allie LaForce in a second. (I know that Tirico is the only confirmed announcer for NBA on NBC)

Too Bad NBC can't use Roundball Rock anymore given that Fox Sports has it for College Basketball Games. NBC Sports has to use a different cut for the NBA on NBC Sports Regional.
