I remember this. It was an EVENT when Jordan came back with the 45

Legend has it the Malc curse started that day when the young akhi declared MJ and the Bulls would win the title that year

NBA on NBC might be the all time GOAT sports production.

The rumor is they're getting the NBA back now from TNT, and who knows if the production value will be good. But 25-30 years ago...they made basketball feel like a must-watch event.

The presentation/production values are night and day. Those NBC games felt like EVENTS. There was genuine buildup.

Now, like you said, it's just straight buffoonery.

Intro:

*Russell Westbrook shows up to the game in a dress and purse*

Malika: "Russ is coming with the swag tonight."

Kendrick: "You can tell that man is on a mission."

SAS: "The Knicks haven't had anybody this serious on their team in 25 years."

*Cut to commercial break*

 

[MikelArteta]

I don't care what anyone says but Bob Costas was the goat at intros, whether basketball or olympics he made the event feel like a spectacle
