[@greglismonjr1368]

Bob Costas made you wanna go out and hoop after listening to his epic intros...the 90’s were great times to be a kid

[@eddie1579ful]

That is so true! Great memories 👌

[@richyakuoko2360]

@Greg Lismon Jr same here. Me too, so EPIC.

[@specialk864]

StG, man’s used to set the mfkn scene for any game and make me wanna watch games from beginnin to end, no matter who was playin. announcers nOwDaYs just be announcers… they need to find announcers that can bring that narration side of games and game introductions back. like, yesterday

[@trillmix0652]

I agree! NBA on NBC was the best!

[@fan0000]

That NBA on NBC theme will never be topped point blank period

[@daschwah]

Jesus. No wonder we children of the 90’s remember these series in mythological terms; you got a game and a primer written by friggin’ Sophocles.

[@douga.3666]

on bro. NBA is sooooo corporate and cringe they just need to stick to hooping and get back into storytelling omm

[@dreamcage1801]

@@douga.3666nbc wants the nba back so we can possibly get it again

[@nonanimeprofilepic]

imagine watching this intro and then seeing jurassic park a couple days later. Peoples minds were probably blown

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

Good way to market, this is the first time I noticed that theme song in the intro. I know I watched this series but the movie came out in 1994 didn't it? Kinda cool to see the intro and hear the theme song today. lol

[@wildethang93]

@@CinHalCedHerChance This game was only a few days before that movie came out

[@kevinnavarro2180]

Damn, they used the Jurassic Park Theme two days before its opening day (June 11, 1993)

[@TheLocalLt]

Inigo Bantok the Jurassic park theme was also used for the 1995 Masters intro on CBS

[@markmiller3308]

@@TheLocalLtCBS used it for flashbacks of baseball history during the 1993 ASG and Postseason.

[@dreamcage1801]

1993 was also a good year

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

This was one of the best and most intriguing matchups in NBA Finals history, with 2 of the best to ever do it leading each team

[@joeydurborow4106]

Jurassic park intro is AWESOME!!!!!

[@markmiller3308]

Costas opens were amazing. Set to Jurassic Park theme. Chills…

[@johnmarkes2038]

This got me hyped

[@liammcclure1085]

That is the Jurassic Park theme playing in the beginning!

[@bradjames891]

NBC should have used Steve "Snapper" Jones on the NBA Finals for commentary. He was so underrated.

[@vivahernando1]

RIP Snapper. He was great with Bill Walton doing western conference games

[@trillmix0652]

Brings back memories.

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

The players back then, gave good solid interviews, smiling, passionate, Jordan, Pippen and other players rocking the suits.. good times man, damn. Today they dress like clowns and roll their eyes, never smiling (except Luka really).

[@dreamcage1801]

Today’s players need to get a grip on themselves

[@twicethechamps]

This intro. Space Jam meets Jurassic Park.

[@JamesBond-mc2mx]

It’s almost as if they knew greatness was among us so the 90s were like let’s make a classic timeless presentation that will enchant people forever.

[@TMC1982Part2]

Now that it's official and the "NBA on NBC" is coming back in 2025, they need to bring back those dramatic opening teases like this one with the Jurassic Park theme by John Williams. That's the one thing that has really been missing from national NBA telecasts like those seen on ABC, ESPN, and TNT in the interim that the "NBA on NBC" has been off the air. Bob Costas and Marv Albert always made the game and the players who played in said game that we were about to see more epic and mythical than maybe they had any right to be otherwise.

[@dreamcage1801]

Real man’s basketball 🏀

[@josiahthibodeaux]

I wonder did the czar write those jokes they were pretty good.

[@GahMorninJulia]

Damn got me hyped for both hoops and Dinosaurs!

[@tafariking1550]

When the nba was at its best! JORDAN era!

[@SingoneSing1]

the suns back to the finals again!!!

[@chadpederson8886]

Great season

[@americangiant1003]

Like it or not, (I don't agree with all of his left/liberal titled political views myself)Bob Costas was probably as a studio host, the best of his generation for the past 30 years of providing these type of outstanding opening monologue commentary. (As of his recent retirement from NBC in 2018. Only say Brent Musberger, Jack Whitaker and the best ever IMO Jim McKay were better on these commentaries on American TV. Especially providing the opening to say an NBA Finals, Super Bowl, World Series or Olympics.

[@TheLocalLt]

AmericanGiant100 can’t forget Keith Jackson. His essays at the start of the 03 OSU-UM game and the 06 USC-Texas game are chill inducing

[@jamaalsimmons8814]

Of course the main matchup was Jordan & Barkley. But I think a key matchup no one really talked about was B.J Armstrong against KJ. I thought for a good majority of the games, (1 & 2 specifically) B.J outplayed KJ and gave him fits throughout the series

[@jvamerica1703]

Spoiler alert, Bulls win🤭🤭🤭

[@JonPaul404]

Bob Costas (or whatever his name is) was the worst. Always hated on dennis rodman.

[@howardpower]

What the fuck? Jurassic Park? Come on nbc. You could’ve done better. Lol.

[@john-paul9551]

This was BEFORE the movie came out

[@dreamcage1801]

Wasn’t a bad intro honestly

[@MysticScorpion99]

shut your blk ass up

[@ethanreed8400]

Jurassic park is a great movie

[@KillingMrFusion]

Welcome to... the NBA Finals...

[@juancarloscorral2746]

Charles Barkley was the reason I became a fan of the suns when they played in the finals

[@mugabi9502]

This series was the best NBA Finals in the 90s. That triple overtime in Game 3 was spectacular.

[@marcosabadi3824]

Petrovic, Nets Player, died the night before. Nobody talks about it.

[@bradleyboyer9979]

He was European.

[@huntand]

Damn, dude!!! Goosebumps. That intro was awesome.

[@trillmix0652]

I agree!

[@kidpeligro7878]

Barkley would have had the best season of any player if he won the Finals. Olympic Medal MVP Best Team Record in the league Too bad Jordan had other plans

[@CovfefeDotard]

I think lEbRoN did that

[@jasonelliott7977]

Jordan kept so many from winning titles.

[@NickIntoTech]

Hakeem Olajuwon holds that record with a DPOY.

Real rap

[@treybelcher848]

Damn I hate that one of my favorite players of all time Charles Barkley never got a ring

[@bradleyboyer9979]

I always thought the gambling critiques of Jordan were ridiculous. Who cares? It's his money - he can do what he wants with it. And questioning Jordan's commitment to hoops is absurd. That was like the prelude to harpies shrieking on the internet about things that don't concern them.

[@rickyearly9920]

NBA on NBC was the best. Glad I was a kid when it was around, Go Suns

[@dreamcage1801]

It’s gonna be the best again when the NBA decides to reunite with NBC but likely with a different name though

[@tooBlessed847]

Is that Jurassic park theme music they got during the intro.........lol! LOL@ Bill Costas saying during the intros that Barkley's career has been less satisfying: squandering most of his years with a team that couldn't get it together......tell us how you really feel and what you really think Bob Costas....lol!!

[@zacharykeller7243]

Is this jurassic park music at the start?

[@bumblebity2902]

yes.

[@chaunseybillings5381]

One of the best NBA finals of All time

Too bad Barkley and Jordan aren’t friends any longer. I guess telling someone the truth can be a bad thing.

HI EVERYBODY I'M BOB COSTAS WELCOME TO THE NBA FINALS!!!!!

[@danka2000]

Today is June 9th, 2023. It was 30 years ago on this day (3 decades) that this game took place. I was 11 years old and was our last weeks of living in Phoenix as we would be moving to Spokane, WA in next month. And today I live back here in Phoenix. The Bulls were a difficult team to play against even with Charles Barkley.

[@costar155]

The dream broadcasting team Bob, Marv, Rashad, and the rest of players including the person that says "this is the NBA on NBC" etc.. Oh the good old 90's the best era when the NBA was really good, played some actual defense, where you wanted to be like Mike ❤🔥👍👌. With the new NBA deal with NBC, i sure hope they bring the best theme song of any sports of all time of the NBA on NBC, even with the Miller Genuine Draft presents genuine moments ❤👌👍🔥

[@fan0000]

Was always a huge Jordan fan but was pretty little during these finals so I just now noticed his shades in the interview they are straight 🔥

[@j.r.harris6888]

This so nostalgia I was 6 years old watching Nba on NBC back in the day and when the Chicago bulls used to dominate

[@vivahernando1]

This was probably my favorite NBA finals of all time. Wasn’t really a Bulls or Suns fan. That season had so much hype for Barkley leaving Philly then blowing up on the dream team leading up to this season

[@claytonstarrjr9788]

Move ober Howard cosell.. Bob Costa's has taken yiur sopt as the top sports commentary

[@kingdomdreams4]

that theme song is not from this world.. truly classic
