      @Tricityshark, and @jackbyrne4635 people have the nerve to disrespect these legends and say they would not be as good in the 2010’s and 2020’s as they were in the 1990’s.
      They would each be better.

    I've uploaded a about 20 NBA on NBC clips. I thought the NBA on NBC was a great telecast when it was on and I'm glad I taped everything. One buddy at the time asked me why I liked NBC so much, and I tried to explain it to him, but I'm not so sure he got the essence of it all.
    Fast forward to today, and the broadcasts aren't the same (sure TNT is good, but the others aren't). But I'm just glad others feel the same way about the NBA on NBC as I do and it's great reading all these comments.

    Everyone thought we'd be watching an epic, 7-game series. I included (I even thought the Sonics would have swept the Jazz in the West that year). Sure enough, I did have Seattle and Chicago in the finals... well I got the number of games right, but the team that got swept was not in Utah.
    But anyway, Lil' Penny is a once and a lifetime type of character. Chris Rock may have been the voice, but they were a great complement to a team and a player who was hot at the time.
    Man, what could have been.

Who's who have though John Tesh would create some magical music to really captivate the mind into experiencing an NBA production no matter who were actually playing. The fact the bulls dominated the league at the time simply made the identity of the league today.
