Bob Kostas stories before made the game bigger than it seemed, the video montages, the double and triple headers

Bill Walton and snapper jones :win:

Halftime show fakkits like Tom tolbert, Peter vecsey in some pink shirt talking about his sources told him.

I remember on Saturday's you'd get like nba inside stuff with rashad and willow bay/summer sanders then sometimes you'd get 3 straight games 1pm 4pm 7pm

I cried when we heard that music during the Olympics in 08 for basketball

And I'll cry again this summer when I hear it again

memories..esp with nba inside stuff

ESPN/ABC gives us WAY more games though, so I'll take that.

And anytime ppl post this NBA on NBC stuff, it's always from the 90's when the league was great. But Y'all forget about the early 00's NBA on NBC when the NBA sucked.

There is NOTHING more valuable than a great game presentation tho and that's what NBC was great at

I didnt say it wasnt great, BUT it was only great when the NBA was great.

Like I said, y'all NEVER mention the Lakers/Net's, Net's/Spurs years of the NBA on NBC, b/c they SUCKED and the league in general was boring back then.

It's always the Jordan/Kemp/Olajuwon/Shaq/Knicks/Pacers, etc days.

and that's part of why NBC lost the NBA. Nobody was watching it near the end until the 02 playoffs

That Tom Hammond/Snapper Jones/Bill Walton commentary team was better than the Bob Costas/Isiah Thomas/Doug Collins team....but not better than the O.G. Marv Albert/Mike Fratello team or the Albert/Collins/Walton team

These players today have no idea how much they have been robbed. Is it no coincidence the the year bron came into the league the switch happened :manny: I mean imagine bob costas talking about the heat Big 3 las yr or even covering Celtic Lakers finals :sadbron: We have been robbed brehs dont forget about those terrible first couple of espn years. We need Bill Walton and Snapper Jones arguing about todays flopping and bytchassness in the L :noah:
