I agree, that was a sweet intro. They picked and choosed some awesome playoff moments (the Duncan/David championship moment, the vintage Jordan playoff moment).
Although, I must admit it did hurt a little to see glimpses of the Spurs.
BTW, ABC really really really really really needs to get rid of Hubie Brown. WTF are they thinking letting him call the game? He's obviously very knowledgable about basketball and knows the stats/plays, etc. But no way is the guy built to be a primetown announcer during a championship game. He speaks the way he looks: Dead.
lmao..yeah it does appear that way
That was an awesome intro. They gave the Spurs tons of love in it too.
Gotta agree about Hubie...he looks like he has already been embalmed.
He is getting up there, but he's one of the best basketball minds the league has, and I could here him ramble on about the game all day long. He's great, even if it looks like he's been embalmed. It's a great compliment in style to the energetic Mike Breen. Unless there's someone of equal knowledge and experience of Brown, I don't want to see him go anywhere. Much better than Doc Rivers or the combination of Bill Walton and Tom Tolbert that ABC has used in the past.
There's something vintage about hearing Hubie calling Finals games again. Seeing old NBA on CBS tapes it was mostly Tommy Heinsohn or Hubie Brown doing the color commentary. It just gives the Finals that extra flavor of being interconnected with its past.
I missed it.
The Finals coverage is so "dumbed down". It makes me sick.
Did you know: A player is disqualified from playing in an NBA game if he commits 6 violations, called fouls.
You can see the intro on NBA.COM under the Videos.
