This theme is 40-years old and it could be played to intro NBA games today. It is timeless and soooooo good.

[@derekcrudele4695]

One of sports greatest themes.

[@cano21]

Whenever I hear this theme I still feel excited like I'm about to see a game. Great high school era memories for me.

[@mrawesome3915]

My favorite NBA theme.

[@bmasters1981]

Indeed-- it's how I got introduced to the NBA on television, seeing it first on the Tiffany Network as a boy.

[@loulip3043]

The best theme...80s was all of that!

NBC

[@mariepavlov2425]

I can imagine that u have Games 1 thru 7 of the 1988 NBA Finals between the defending NBA World Champions Los Angeles Lakers and the challenging Detroit Pistons from CBS Sports.

[@RochesterTVArchive]

This particular collection only has partial broadcasts, but I did inherit another collection recently that may have some of those games.

[@mrawesome3915]

KDKA-TV used to delay many of these post-season NBA games to Midnight or so in favor of Pirates Baseball.

[@mariepavlov2425]

mr awesome, not so in 1988, KDKA-TV aired all of the NBA Playoffs from CBS right on the dot that spring.

[@Mark-xl1ze]

The Pistons' last win of their season.

[@vernonrobinson1685]

Their last game at the Silverdome ever

[@jasonryan1942]

Too bad cbs can't get the NBA back

[@brandedmcgowan9414]

NBC is in the running for the TV Rights by 2024-25.
