ESPN SportsCenter (April 16, 2003)

Episode of ESPN SportsCenter from April 16, 2003, the night of Michael Jordan's final NBA game.

[@JBoss44]

Freshman year of highschool. Watching this over and over like it was a new episode. God i miss these times

[@jacobrichardson1952]

😢Ohhh this takes me BACK SON 😭 I was 2 years old in April 2003.

I remember rushing home to watch SC back in the day. Now it's so unwatchable I have to watch old episodes just to relive those good days.

[@imfromtheville]

Literally everything about this is better than how SC is today. I hate getting older.

[@JDOGFTW]

I was 22 when this was filmed and I agree with you.

[@welliecross2903]

I think the problem is that in today's SC everyone is trying to be funny instead of giving highlights. They don't even give hat many highlights anymore.

[@smill1985]

Well, SportsCenter was funny back in its heyday. But yeah, you're right about the highlights. They're not quite as extensive as they used to be. It's just a different time now.

[@ezequielabreu700]

Wellie Cross i think the problem in today’s SC is that they put way too much focus on NBA and NFL. IF THEY ever do MLB highlights they show like 5 highlights in 2 minutes. But for NBA and NHL they really do in depth with any little detail about those games. It seems to me that they are slowly trying to get rid of MLB like they did the NHL. I wouldnt be surprised if they are waiting for their contract with MLB to end to get rid of it completely and only have a few analysts just in case.

I miss old sportscenter so much

April 16, 2003 the day I was born.. pretty cool looking back at it

[@LifeChangingPicks]

Graal 2 crazy huh

[@mattatron5k]

Same bro we turning 20 that's crazy huh

[@kevind9288]

Imagine any sports outlet today doing a full Royals @ White Sox highlight. How times have changed.

[@thinkuncagrizzthinktv7975]

Back when the only thing I had on my TV in my bachelor pad...was....Dada Dada 0:51.... 2:17 how classy is my fellow Philly sports fans....

[@HoneyBadger201]

wow Mike Tirico was a gem on that show.

[@Ty-vn3cu]

I wanna cry listening to this intro song. Brings back memories when sports were just sports and I didn’t have ESPN throwing Jamele hill in my face to talk politics for 45 mins. Thank god they moved beyond that era but it’s still trash compared to this.

[@HoneyBadger201]

I wish I could find those NBA highlight music tracks. They were so good.

[@AlanFernandoGamino]

20-years later on this very emotional day/night in the wide-world of sports!

[@imfromtheville]

Anyone have a link to the background music at 10:38? That was my favorite music they used the baseball highlights.

[@WestleyWolf]

ESPN probably used music from Videohelper, Opus 1 music, Extreme music or Firstcom.

[@ericradford2142]

Back when ESPN had integrity and credibility.

[@sventremendousson2641]

Yay hockey highlights!

[@Coachvinoo]

36:38 MAMBA was a badddd man.

[@ajstimac2489]

R.I.P. Mamba! He was a badddd man indeed. May God grant peace to his family during this time.

[@jacobrichardson1952]

Mamba is too damn legendary to go to heaven.

[@brandonbaker3756]

Anyone know if theres a way to get the music that plays during the highlights from this era of sportscenter?

[@18babbfan]

This!

[@18babbfan]

What is the name of the song/music used for the highlights of the Lakers game? That has always been a personal favorite.

[@musicman76enator]

2003 = Greatest Year Ever. Period. End of Story.

[@notoriouseagle1074]

2004 was better

[@musicman76enator]

@@notoriouseagle1074 I'd say 2004 was like 2nd or 3rd greatest ever. 2002 was in that best category for greatest year ever as well..Some days I wish I could get in a time machine, go back to throse years and live in them forever. The present is just awful. It's getting worse.

[@rickshelton1955]

Unless you lived in Iraq

[@musicman76enator]

@@rickshelton1955 Iraq was meh. Truth is we should have never left. Look at it now: Bin Laden and Zawahiri have been using it as a training ground for the next 9/11.

Cosby at @01:58 hahaha wow

[@cyntreliaingram476]

Good old days

[@itsburgan497]

Does anyone know or have the link to that song playing in the intro?

[@christianflores3844]

Do you have any SportsCenter's from 2007? (The Who's Now segments)

[@kylegustafson6088]

[@classicwhitebread]

Scott Van Pelt holdin it down 😂

[@7karekano]

do you have old sportcenter shows

[@thema1998]

Today is the *16* year anniversary of when this aired on ESPN. 🤓 EDITS- 3:28 P.M.: *finishes video 57 minutes later* I felt like I was in a different world. 3:28 P.M. - 3:30 P.M.: Modern SportsCenter doesn't have nearly as many highlights like the ones Classic SportsCenter showed.

[@drewkirchoff3306]

1st basemen couldn’t pick for shit in 2003.
