NBA Finals on NBC? petition?

[lefty]

Guys, do you think if it's possible to start a petition to get the NBA back to NBC? I can't stand ABC (except for Hubie Brown, he is a fine analyst) anymore ; it has gotten worse since they have added those singing cheeleaders :shootme :shootme

TNT is nice for regular season and other playoffs games.

But for the Finals, I want NBC ; every time I watch old Finals games, I cry.

Btinck Marv Albert and Bob Costas back!!!!!

[monosylab1k]

the only thing I want changed about TNT is to not get beaten over the head with constant promos for The Closer. After two years of seeing that shit 8000 times a game, I officially would rather put a pistol to my mouth than watch that fuckin' show. I don't care how good the show is.

[Trainwreck2100]

remember "Into the West" a couple years back?

Also a petition will do nothing as ABC has a contract. And believe it or not, but Disney not the NBA holds the rights to NBA.com

[lefty]

Disney? those bastards

[THE SIXTH MAN]

What doesn't disney own?

TNT fucking rules! It's ESPN & ABC that are the problem. I remember back then it was TNT on Tuesdays, TBS on Wed, and NBC on Sundays (after college football). Then, the playoffs would be (1st round) 4 games per weekdays (2 on TNT and 2 on TBS simultaneously), and NBC would get weekend games, and the Finals.

NBA on NBC :drunk

Good times.

How about "NBA Finals in the Alamodome" petition? Could you imagine what it would have been like in the Dome for game 7 vs the Pistons in the Finals? Or even game 7 vs Dallas last year? Shit, take down the blue curtain and open the fucker up! :downspin:

[lefty]

Good times.

Yup :depressed :depressed

[Tigole Bitties]

I miss the "NBA on NBC" theme song.

I remember back when NBC had the NBA everybody bitched about them. They called it "NBA/C" and whined that it might as well be the KCAL local broadcast in LA.

Little did we all know how much worse it could be.

I've always loved the NBA on NBC... I long for another Triple-Header Sunday.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

There's very little I miss about the NBA on NBC. I can't honestly say I miss any NBA broadcast that employs Bob Costas, Bill Walton, Ahmad Rashad, and Peter Vescey. It's a sad thing when you can say that the best part of the show was a piece of John Tesh music. Don't get me wrong, ABC/ESPN's presentation sucks balls as well, but I fear that it is still somehow better than NBC's was.

[mavsfan1000]

Same here. I miss it. ABC is flat out horrible with their broadcast. I couldn't imagine it getting worse than that.

I don't know what's worse...having that or La Charanga stuck in my head.

Screw it, let's listen again. (http://www.ilovewavs.com/TV/Sports/TV%20Theme%20-%20NBC,%20NBA.wav)

Alright, that music did kick ass.

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

Teschonline.com??????????

:rollin :rollin :rollin

[ShoogarBear]

Screw it, let's listen again. (http://www.ilovewavs.com/TV/Sports/TV%20Theme%20-%20NBC,%20NBA.wav)Man, the short version they played on NBC is infinitely better than that overly repetitive 2:41 version.

[ShoogarBear]

Is Roundball Rock on teschonline the NBA theme?

EDIT: n/m, it is.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Man, the short version they played on NBC is infinitely better than that overly repetitive 2:41 version.

Maybe, but the ending where Marv would speak over it is cool.

[RonMexico]

The best part was that they had it on NBA Jam as well...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Is it just me or can anybody HEAR Marv Albert saying "Welcome to the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles, California for today's matchup between the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers."

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I can't stop listening!

Okay, so it was the announcer's voice and Bob Costas, but it still wants to make you grab your NBA 2K7 and load the song into it.

[lefty]

Goosebumps..... :cry

[ShoogarBear]

Hot Damn. Just got that shit loaded on my iPod, now I'm going to be working out to it.

:music

[SRJ]

It's not that NBC was that great - it's just that ABC sucks worse. It artificially makes NBC look better.
