NBA Finals 2009 Game 1: Orlando Magic @ L.A. Lakers Intro

[@djaznballa2324]

Lakers need to bring back Baba ORiley as the intro song. Very underrated song

[@calebdesai5040]

Facts

[@lijah_loww]

Hopefully they bring that back in the NBA Finals this year as the Lakers are in the Finals!!!

[@matt13r1]

Also get a new PA announcer

[@adoyb]

👍

[@sushimemoo13]

❤❤❤

[@georgecouvson7541]

I love the look on Kobe's face the its time to go to work

[@beautifulsoul3281]

George Couvson me too !

[@princeofdarknessxyz1]

i think he was still upset from the previous nba finals...i'm guessing

[@jakebogner8363]

Kobe wasn't about to BS RIP, Mamba

[@conorsmith8773]

This guy makes Orlando's starting lineup sound more exciting.

[@dan_lowwww]

Our P.A announcer is the best voice in sports fool! Go L.A Lakers!

[@matt13r1]

He sounds like he's calling a tennis match

[@mimay018]

Laker's opening are the best! You can just feel the excitement! I love the sheet things! LOL.. Our strength, our will, our defense, our tradition, our destiny.. Our time is now.. LOVE IT!

[@saturncho]

Best announcer ever!!!!

[@masonmetcalf4322]

I had no idea Ariza had already been in his 5th season. That team was loaded.

[@TDRock8]

I was there and that intro was stirring. AND we won. So I think the intro was adequately up-pumping lol

[@robertweinberg1993]

@Lkr721993 Also he has been the PA announcer for 28 years. By the time he started PA announcing Derrick Rose or even LeBron was not even born.

[@Lkr721993]

It was 388MB originally, took half hour to upload. And yes, NBA on NBC will always be the best :)

[@mrodriguezglobe]

Lkr721993 thank you for uploading this bro

[@jakebogner8363]

Although solid, CBS was the best

[@Lkr721993]

@THETOYOTAable he isn't a gimmick like current announcers. he's an old school guy from an old school era. a guy like the detroit PA announcer would get booed out of the building. As Tanter says himself, its his job to introduce the players, not be over the top. players that the fans like will get cheered on their play alone. true laker fans realize that he is the best in the business

[@Keithmoon99]

The song is titled "Ten Years Kashmir Mvt II" by Corner Stone Cues (available on iTunes) and is an adaptation of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir".

[@AmericasNightmare]

Anyone else notice the cussin in the huddle at the end of the video they bought some intensity to that game.

[@ElstonsGun]

i had the biggest exam of my life the day after this and i dident know anything i had a 53 and was on the brink of failing i watched this whole game and winged the exam...i passed :D

[@giantpshow]

Lakers need to televise the intros again!

[@RJ_824]

abc had this every year until some years ago

[@TheBostonThreeParty1]

Magic intro is sick

[@Railfan2103]

@Lkr721993 I am a Celtics fan, therefore I hate the Lakers, but Lawrence Tanter IS as good as it gets. Lakers fans, you're very lucky!

[@8ballsix27]

3:47 "It's our shit. They can't fuck with us!"

[@lovldd1229]

Thank you!

[@JustBoredBru]

well be seeing this again this upcoming season GO LAKERS.

[@Shrek4Life]

At 3:49 I think I heard Lamar say "This is our shit,they can't fuck with us".

[@MaxAime]

maaaaannn thats some good quality

[@nightmarebeforeXmas8]

dude.... that was a while back.

[@jesseiese3976]

Dwight Howard debut in the championship and now 2020 Dwight Howard won the championship with the Lakers

[@qccsbball]

The Magic intro song is Furious Angel by Rob Dougan

[@ilUvmEh]

idk bout ya'll but I think the Laker's openings are the classiest.

[@roadking5789]

RIP Kobe. GOAT

[@DunkaholicSB]

Wow! the determined look on the Lakers stater faces.

[@thursday111111111111]

lol at lamar's team huddle speech he says "this is our shit they cant fuck with us"

[@nightmarebeforeXmas8]

Song at 2:28 is teenage wasteland by the who. Just in case you were wondering

[@Couragegirl76]

its all about LAL!!! yeah!! 1010 here we come

[@HideoKojimalol]

see we L.A fans have respect when they call out the names of the opponents in home court

[@demonte31]

at the end of the clip - they cant fuck with us - its ours!!!

[@francisdubem5084]

Kobeeeeeee Bryant. I love this announcer. Mamba forever.

[@matt13r1]

They need a new PA announcer. The Lakers one sounds like he's calling a tennis match.

[@maggou90]

@Lkr721993 Yeah, here in Germany in Soccer games we don't do a big show during the starting lineup. It's just the annoucer calling the first name, the fans shouting the last name and some clubs play music in the background. We don't need annoucers screaming around, let the fans do that. watch?v=COGVBkEIeAk here you can see a pretty good example if you want to.

[@RJ_824]

what a team

[@vincetorres92]

thanks

[@maggou90]

@Colidape I like the Intro. It has a classic touch and the way it's presented it feels confident. They don't need to scream around and make a big show out of it. It's just basic, 5 players and the ball and that's the show. Still I prefer the way the player are introduced in European Soccer games.

[@robertweinberg1993]

@princeofdarknessxyz1 I bet Lawrence Tanter has been the PA announcer longer than you have been alive.

[@TeruGunji]

@gryphus001 you are right. requiem for a dream was the tune used by the celtics.

[@boamuro]

Wow, how big was this file just for a 4 minute video? It must have taken you awhile to upload. It looks super nice even without clicking on "HD". Nothing beats the '96 Bulls team and their introduction and PA announcer. Oh, and also NBA on NBC! ABC/ESPN sucks.

[@LACOFD121]

the great western forum had a setup like that, staples kinda wanted to give it a old feel like back in the day

[@Jonjuugbanks]

is the intro from Game 1 of the 2009 NBA Finals. Line-ups by Lakers' Hall of Fame Public Address Announcer Lawren

[@bulldogsfan]

He was a good pick for the Raptors.

[@robertweinberg1993]

@jmaced95 He was a PA announcer before you were born probably.

[@Keithmoon99]

He was Jack Nicholson's guest fellow actor Donald Sutherland.

[@princeofdarknessxyz1]

@NightLine19 yeah he doesn't but people like him...wish we had that bulls announcer from the 90's...he pumps the whole place up

[@tekon1994]

what is the song they are playing when they are interducing the lakers

[@TheVONDEN]

wat is that is that song at the start

[@bulldogsfan]

and we just signed Lamar to a 4-year deal today

[@lovldd1229]

Anyone know the name of the song playing during the video before he announces the Lakers starting lineup?

[@crawford371]

Baba O'riley by the who!

[@matthillman2261]

2008-2009 NBA Champions

[@lilaznfreak2006]

Is there a mp3 file for the song played at 1:28, at that exact version.

[@gryphus001]

@shaeboogie321 what version of requiem 4 a dream? whats the artist?

[@gryphus001]

whats the song when the big screen is played??

[@UncleToki]

The annoucer is Reverend Lovejoy if anyone asks...

[@serfyi]

yup!

[@GolgothanGrace]

@Lkr721993 Excellent comment!

[@phxdodgerfan1]

Michael Biamonte thinks it's all about himself! He is a nuisance. He gives reputable P.A. announcers a bad name! Lawrence Tanter is legendary! I'll take him over that goofy guy in Cleveland too! Oh yeah, Biamonte belongs in the circus with his style! Lawrence has a smooth voice. Those other posers can learn a lot of class listening to Lawrence!

[@matt13r1]

Lawrence is SO BORING

[@bigzz14]

go lakers!!!

[@journeykevin24]

whats the song they played for the lakers intro?

[@dacrazysportsfan]

[@rdr4095]

Rob dougan furious angels

[@Zdragonj94]

uhh what happened to this video I can barely understand it now

[@capoblevins1797]

Real lakers!!!

[@vincetorres92]

what song is it at 2:27

[@RickGrimes807]

I bet most of NBA players hate their intro songs.

[@lpycb42]

That Baba O' Riley is the name of the song, not Teenage Wasteland.

[@gryphus001]

@shaeboogie321 what requiem 4 a dream?? i dont think so

[@mimay018]

Baba O'Riley by The Who

[@Lkr721993]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 baba o'riley is the name

[@FreakStormer]

If you have so much class and respect towards opposing teams why did you throw foam fingers and water bottles during the Christmas game against the Cavs? Or where you throwing them at the Lakers?

[@Couragegirl76]

yes its what I mean...I am dumb

[@dsigala2]

ALL YOU SPURS< CAVS

[@AndreRedd1Empire]

@JRDollas732 what ever helps you sleep better at night

[@UmbreonMoon]

[@ramesali786]

[@phxdodgerfan1]

Teenage wasteland? HAHAHAHA!!! At least get the title of the song right! BABA O'RILEY!!!!

[@salarmander27]

@JRDollas732 haha.

[@NightLine19]

they should get another announcer for Lakers, this guy sounds so boring and doesn't hype anyone up

[@blakedmc1989HD]

dude he's been their announcer since 1982 so hush lol u can't scream and holla forever lol

[@TeruGunji]

@gryphus001 "kashmir" by led zeppelin.

[@davidtruong510]

so HD... :D

[@phxdodgerfan1]

What may I ask was awhile back? Don't quite understand your reply. You make no sense at all. Why can't you just sit back and enjoy. This website is for entertainment purposes. Why must everyone have to argue about petty stuff? Just zip it!! If you're referring to the song,the year was 1971 and yes that was a long time ago. Seems you misunderstood the true meaning of the song. That's the song they use for intros. Nothing wrong with that!

[@teamxlegion]

Hows it working out for you guys?? LMAO

[@jratienza6565]

😭😭😭

[@buzsub03]

U... better retract u'r statement... 15 RINGS! =D

[@SOLAR718]
