NBA on NBC Graphics Package (1991-1992)

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.

You're hard pressed to find any better quality of the original laser peacock fanfare leading into Roundball Rock. This is amazing and I hope we hear this in 2025...

[TMCPart]

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".

[Deven_Mack]

Thank you for this. This belongs in a television museum alongside Jim Fagan's iconic "This... is the NBA on NBC!"

[VintageTVMemories]

This is GLORIOUS. Thank you! That energetic John Tesh theme paired with those flashy 3D graphics were STELLAR in 1992! I was never much of a sports fan but I have this recorded on VHS numerous times just so that I could one day look back on it and smile- but you've gone the whole 9 yards! You don't know how happy this makes someone like me! You're the BEST!

I miss my 90s childhood. Watching the NBA on NBC meant watching Michael Jordan and the voice of Marv Albert.

2:05 "The NBA on NBC is brought to you by "New" Miller Beer: The brand new beer from Miller with big flavor that goes down easy... By the Ford Escort: It's new and it's nifty, made for the smart, the intelligent thrifty... and by Pennzoil: the motor oil that works like liquid ball bearings..."

'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

rest in peace Jim Fagan one of the greats

I will always love the NBA on NBC because it gave us the theory and it made us have our hoop dreams. NBA and NBC will likely to be reunited in 2025 when their current deal is done because they want better broadcasting.

00:46 This is the NBA on NBC!! The 2023 NBA playoffs!!! Tonight; game 4 of the western conference finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Thank you for posting this for posterity. Gen-X'ers will never forget this great era for basketball on television!

[cromulence]

You're the real MVP for having the foresight to archive this stuff- it's a shame that the source material was either destroyed or is locked up somewhere to rot. Beautiful quality as always, it really shines given that the source was directly from the source and not over the air.

And of course as I've said before, thanks for taking the time to properly digitise at the best quality possible. Just fantastic stuff!

02:05 The NBA on NBC is brought to you by; Gatorade, who reminds you to win from within. Refuel, Replenish, Rehydrate. Gatorade. By Dr. Pepper and your local Dr. Pepper bottlers. Dr. Pepper, this is the taste. And by Subway, eat fresh.

(Cue NBA on NBC intro)

THIS IS THE NBA ON NBC!
THE 2026 NBA PLAYOFFS
TONIGHT, GAME 1 OF THE WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS
BETWEEN THE DALLAS MAVERICKS AND THE PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS

Mike Tirico: The NBA playoffs return to Rip City, and the atmosphere here is palpable as over 20, 000 Blazermaniacs flood into the Moda Center, looking to energize their team and start this part of the playoffs on a strong note! Leading the way into this series is the powerful combination of Scoot Henderson and Donovan Clingan. Both are prepared to supercharge the offense against the tough defensive prowess of the Mavericks.

And on the other side, looking to redeem their last run in the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks are eager to silence this Portland crowd and at the center of it is their new leader Anthony Davis. After a major trade sending Donçic to Los Angeles, Davis continues to put up excellent numbers night after night, and as he is in the talks for MVP this season, he'll be looking to unleash his skill to it's fullest against the Blazers.

(Fade to Mike)

Hello everyone, I'm Mike Tirico alongside legendary NBA coach Stan Van Gundy, and welcome to Portland, Oregon as we get this Western Conference Semifinal series underway.
