I doubt VSPAN does.

BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING AWESOME. ROUNDBALL ROCK!

http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2002/s/2002/0612/1394112.html said:

It just came into my head," Tesh, who now devotes most of his time to his musical career, told ESPN.com on Wednesday. "So I called my message machine and sang the chorus. Then I called back 30 minutes later and sang the verse."

When Tesh got home, he played the song that would soon become known as "Roundball Rock" on the piano. He also watched an NBA game and played the music to the approximate speed of a fast break (122 beats per minute). After paying $15,000 to have a Los Angeles orchestra record the song, he sent a tape to NBC, but he didn't want them to know that he wrote it.

"The name on the tape was Jay Franklin, because my middle name is Frank," Tesh said. "But the problem was that when they called me up, I said they had the wrong number." After Tesh finally realized that he was "Jay Franklin," he worked out a deal with NBC where they would make his song the theme of "NBA on NBC" broadcasts and pay him royalties every time they played it.

And to anyone else watching the game, are you also getting tired of all the VSpan love? It's like Doug Collins morphed into DD.

It would be bad if you weren't.

I just hate rooting for a team that has "Man-EWwww GiNobody" and "Fakebricio Ohateo" on it.

It's painful.

I will just root for Scola to do well rather than Scola's team to win.

Saw a few minutes of this; the defense was surprisingly terrible...

And more importantly, has Manu somehow decreased the area of his bald spot? Something is going on up there. He had an enormous ozone-hole sized shiny plate on top of his head last season...

I am kinda watching the game on the side but I get the impression that the Argentinians are completely ignoring Scola. What the hell, he's your second/third best player!

I will repeat that Sophocles Shortfatfokitis is the worst player in the tournament.

So much wasted talent....

And my boy V-Span with 4 turnovers in the 3rd quarter alone.....not good.

Argentina's interior defense is looking very lax. Is Oberto even an NBA-quality player anymore? He is getting pushed around in there. I really want them to win though so the US can play them and have the chance to have beaten every major team at this tourney.

V-Span tries to be the hero and misses the 3.......it was a good look but it was just a tad short.

Argentina advances.

Most exciting game of the tournament so far.
