    After getting all hyped for the Trailblazers game...man, the pre-game was weaker then I expected for some reason. I only really got into the game when the crowd started going nuts after the tip-off and Yao started silencing them. The music and montage really wasn't working for me.

    (I want Roundball Rock back)

    Which leads me to this question...which is the best NBA theme song for Clutchfans? Bit curious if anyone else has that Roundball itch.

    Here are the links...

    man i really cant believe how much better the nba in the 90s seems compared to now when you watch those youtube clips. i mean remember nbc tripleheaders on the weekends? especially in the playoffs? who the hell likes nba on espn or abc?

    even nba on tnt sucks now that barkley's schtick is getting old and tired.

    NBC from back in the day is easily the best, IMO. I get chills whenever I hear it!

    It will always be NBA on NBC. It's just makes you feel crunk, ready to roll.

    There is a awesome video on youtube of Yao and this song, but I am too lazy to find it.

    Yeh, I was honored that the great John Tesh let me sample some of his great music.

    Awesome. I love how they capture a live scene of the city behind those ads. NBC just did it right man, they did it right.

    1.Roundball Rock
















    2. ESPN 03-06
    3. All else


    Its not even close. Can't all the networks just agree on that and just put it in every broadcast? Everyone would go home happy. Especially Tesh.
