Growing up in the 90’s and having this nba intro was the best ever. NBA was so much better back then.

[jajuangordy]

Now that the NBA on NBC will be returning in 2025, I hope NBC brings back the narration intros.

[mack]

Please take us back to the 80s 90s and early 2000s 😢

[jtjimenez]

These intros meant everything, I miss nba on nbc, it was ruined when they went to abc

[nelsoncalahorrano]

That intro OMG...makes u feel that you can do EVERYTHING...THIS IS THE NBA ON NBC!!!

This was the final NBC regular season game of the 90s Bulls dynasty. Just think about that. And I said regular season. Obviously Game 6 of the 1998 Finals was the last game of the 90s Bulls dynasty. But in terms of regular season coverage, this was the last time that NBC would show the 90s Bulls dynasty.

I miss the 90s NBA on NBC bulls vs Knicks Marv Albert this will bring tears to your eyes because the NBA sucks today

[superben]

I love the NBA ON NBC, I watched every Bulls game with my dad and Michael Jordan is the

[JustinHall]

Damn I tear up with these intros. The best ever!

[luisceja]

What a time. Not judging any other era. This was simply the best time for professional basketball. Really think about the sheer amount of top shelf talent in the league at that point. No really. Think about how many actual superstars there was in the league then. It’s staggering compared to now.

R.i.p. NBA ON NBC (1990-2002).
Amazing 12 year telecast run that began on 11/3rd/1990 then it ended at 6/12th/2002.
The real true golden era of pure professional 🏀 basketball greatness.
Heroes come & go, but Legends are forever remembered from the 1980's, 1990's to early 2000's era.
1992 is where i grew up with the once great chicago bulls & the league along with my favorite childhood flim Space Jam released 11/15th/1996.
Today's NBA as we all know it is just way too soft.

That intro...OMG..damn it...the best ever..so motivational

[MrT]

Bulls vs Knicks... Definitely the most common matchup on NBC during the regular season.

[marsrox]

Exactly 23 years ago today. I probably didn't see this game when I was about 5.5 years old lol...but the memories of the NBC theme still stand firm

[jayscribe]

Damn I’m hyped! Oh wait that happened 20 years ago!!

[chucknorris]

As a kid during this season even with all the writing on the wall I kept telling myself "surely they really wouldn't be stupid enough to break this team up, right?" Man being a Bulls fan hasnt been the same since.

[DarthExitium]

So grateful I got to witness the legendary Michael Jordan when I was a young boy, I will always remember the aura of greatness and humbleness that he emanated so gracefully

[danmartino]

This intro still makes my back hair get spiked.

[LPjunemark]

You know its a bloodbath when these two teams collide

[mickofbeliath]
