This may be the best intro to a televised sporting event ever. Pure classic shyt

[RedBull]

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

Yeah he’s a prick, but I agree with you.

[The God Poster]

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.

Man said the rumor like you got your own source lol

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*

[IIVI]

The Ultimate Defender, Programmed to Seek and Destroy is such a great description of Derrick Brooks.

 

[dizzy4111]

NBC just makes things feel important by virtue of having the olympics forever and breaking important news through the years.

Bring it back

Facts. Costas a baseball guy and baseball maybe the best sport for storytelling. Also most of the tv commentators in that era started on radio.

Baseball and a radio background gave him the perfect skillet for those NBA on NBC intros
