This song fits the game and era it was made in so well, you could swear this would’ve been played as a theme for the NBA on TNT or TBS, or played during commercial breaks.
You knew you had to come to ball when this song came on, my childhood right here. Only real gangstas played this, you could intentionally flagrant foul if you brought that weak shit in the paint. They don’t make em like that anymore.
@@NBALiveSeriesCenter I'm trying to google, but can't find any info for NBA Live 96. But I see Traz did the music for 95 too. Was he also in charge of 96?
@@NBALiveSeriesCenter MY FAV TRACK WITH BEST SG IN 90'S ERA MITCH RICHMOND. I LIKE WHEN PPL BRING JORDAN RINGS THEN I BRING SAM JONES 10 RINGS . BEST PURE SHOOTING GUARD IS MITCH. JORDAN IS JUST ISO AND SLASHER ATHLETE.

Spend hours editing the roster while listening to this soundtrack
Júlio Dias maaaaan what? A lot of hours!
Same here haha
You could edit rosters? I didn't think that was a thing then
CJG yup, I think it started back in nba live 96 or maybe but not sure even 95 that you can trade sign release players, then onwards to 97 and beyond.
And they put in sound bites of each player in the bios, it was a big deal then
"You know I'll take you... HIGHER!"
This along with the Pause Menu music are the best songs in Live 97, no doubt.
Mitch Richmond and this theme song were were lit back in '96
golden years!

Best nba live music to date besides live 98. Wish ea would go back to this genre...
Memory. FINALLY. I have booking after this soundtrack so long . Thank you who ever is responsible for this clip.
Happy to help out with some nostalgia!
This shit knocks still in 2020!
This brings back memories. Good times.
Still listen to this and nba live 98
Creating MJ to this music in ‘96
The loading screen on this game was crazy long but I love this track always 💎
This reminds me of Christmas of 1996. I played this game nonstop over Christmas break that year.
So good the best NBA live menu music.
I imagine if there was a video montage of what was happening in my life in 1996/97, this song would be the playing in the background.
For me, it was 97/98
Mitch Richmond, HOF SG
Sacramento Kings 👑
Who ever played this oldie. 98 was smtn. They even got MJ in as plr 99 to avoid sinnin cpl mil.
I had to come back to this after the Bucks, Pistons and Warriors brought back their 1996-97 uniforms! The NBA is BACK!
Mannn I was looking for this song ong!! Memories
Love these songs
The memories…
I remember this. One of my favorite video game tracks of all-time..
NBA Live series > NBA2K
Sony, please bring back NBA Live for the modern era.
Sounds like the opening of a movie. I like it.
This Theme Always The Best Asides 98 99 2000 This Is The Best Theme Song Of NBA Live Franchise
back when ea had heart and soul. Well, the same can be said with the nba.
This musical piece is MEAN!!!

It's more than a game its a sport!
I think the dude’s name that did this track was traZ damji or something I can’t pronounce his name lol
That's him! We're hoping to set up a chat with him on the NLSC Podcast, as part of our 25th Anniversary of NBA Live celebrations.
@@NBALiveSeriesCenter oh cool

Is this from the PS1 version?
Extracted from the PC version, but it's on PS1 as well.
Sega Saturn 🪐 also
Can you remind me of the composer of all these tracks? I believe he was an Indian guy right, but I can’t remember his name
Traz Damji
NBA LIVE 2001(PSX version), 2000
They definitely don't make these good ass songs for these games anymore....Now it's Drake, 2Chainz or some other lame ass rapper like Cardi B..

MITCH BEST SG IN MY 90'S ERA
I NEVER SAW BETTER SHOOTER IN HISTORY BESIDE LARRY BIRD.
I actually played 98 first and then this one. They both had good music. 99 music was garbage
