Finally the NBA is back on regular TV NBC is back. Who remembers back in the day the theme song they would have been playing before the games would start. Or the stories and the narratives of the rivalry between teams

[@lyriktehuti]

The mini movie and the music! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@luiscervantes6363]

Hell yeah you remember. Specially when it was a rivalry games in the playoffs. It was crazy​@@lyriktehuti

[@lyriktehuti]

@@luiscervantes6363 I can do the score to that song bro. Shit literally inspired me to become an nba player! The intro-dramatic slow for movie, then that little twinkle up in pitch and Bam! Ban-na-ban-na-ban-na, na, nan! Ban-na-na-na-ban-na-ban-na-ban-na-ban-ban-na! This the slow down poooo-dooooo-dooooo-do-dooooo-ban-na-bam-ba-damp-ba-na-ban-ban-na-na-na. 💯🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️😂🤣😎

[@iluisgarcia]

Wishful thinking. NBC is owned by Comcast. The games are going to be on Peacock or on a cable channel.

[@luiscervantes6363]

@@iluisgarcia you don't know what us who actually grew up in a great era of basketball. You don't know what we grown folks talking about

TNT losing the NBA is terrible news and NBA returning to NBC is fantastic news

[@gc3k]

If you're not on the court or at least in the back office competing for Larry O'Briens, you're a casual, period

[@adamNDkipker]

I'll be missing out cause I'm not buying all these streaming services.. I don't think alot of people will either

[@john-mc4zo]

Well most of the games will not be on streaming Between NBC ESPN and ABC NBATV Only a small portion will be on streaming

[@chefjosesoto]

I won't buy...

[@abroslife]

@@john-mc4zo That's still terrible

[@dreamcage1801]

TNT is part of the cable subscribers and it’s too expensive nowadays. TNT needs to let it go and keep it rolling.

[@john-mc4zo]

@@dreamcage1801 it going to be more expensive with this new deal your so dumb yes TNT may be gone Bit now it this deal holds instead ot just needing to buy (ABC ESPN ESPN2 TNT NBATV) (ESPNEWS 1game a year) Now you need to buy ABC ESPN ESPN2 Amazon prime NBC peacock USA network And NBATV Not sure how that will be cheaper plus your still to have cable anyway

[@chiquitico6345]

They got Stephen J smith lookalike lol

[@jinxterpinxter]

Who is Stephen J Smith?

[@StarlightRoller]

Many people won't be able to watch the games. I have been on the cusp of continuing with the NBA, and this tips the scale for me. I can't afford all those streaming services or cable TV. This is a win for players but not for the fans.

[@fakedazzleful]

What are you talking about? If anything more fans like my parent can watch NBA now since it's not on tnt. All my mom have is antenna and are able to watch NBC

[@leejohnson9976]

@@fakedazzlefulguy is an absolute fool! This means it’s back on regular tv

[@Jeremy_one]

I have some streaming apps, but not every single one, it costs too much to pay for all of them

[@Jeremy_one]

Come on tnt, I’ve watched inside the NBA since I was a child, everyone can’t afford to buy all those streaming services

[@NoneNone-bd2of]

Only reason to watch the NBA during the season was Chucky and the TNT cast. So no reason to watch it now

[@eurodj101]

Which is why I have league pass

[@Chilax]

Why nobody taking about what will happen to NBA TV Turner still runs the channel will someone take it over? All the turner people can still go to that channel

[@derekchatman2595]

Very good point!

[@_J_G_]

ratings are down cuz important games are on TNT, which is cable (no one really has cable anymore) - their coverage stinks. streaming services are the way to go. embrace the future (though it's been a while already) - local teams games should always be on local team channels even if the game is also on other national channels. - viewership is already fragmented, it's just all should be in streaming at least (instead of some on cable, some on streaming)

[@Geo-md3up]

I agreed I dont watch tv only for sports or election everything else is stream,

[@mdsoulsounds]

Elephant in the room: greedy and money grabbing keeps making ticket prices and cable subscriptions go up and up. How much money do they need. Hope it turns off fans!

[@squidMB]

Pros: expansion happening soon, NBA returns to NBC Cons: lose inside the NBA/losing TNT

[@randykerr6997]

Ratings down and there giving more money to the players. Losing TNT is hugh if it happens. Amazon wasting money on the NBA……..

[@STR1NGB34N1]

We should boycott , tnt and the nba go hand in hand this is unfair and ridiculous

[@RudieObias]

WBD CEO David Zaslav said TNT doesn't need the NBA, so the league said OK and left.

[@Sam-gs7yb]

Lol. The prize is the NBA not TNT or Shaq/Barkley/Kenny dont get me wrong they are good at their job and will be missed but they will move on to other broadcasters.

[@STR1NGB34N1]

@@Sam-gs7yb I know I speak for a lot of people when I say when nba games are on other stations I just watch the games but when it’s on tnt I watch the pre game and post game

[@JoeFlirt]

Let me get a dollar

[@Geo-md3up]

stream it period I dont watch cable same as the youth stream it like mls or this deal is nothing.

[@BC250]

I'm glad that I quit watching these over paid and greedy sports leagues! 🤑 I rather spend my time playing golf or badminton these days.

[@luiscervantes6363]

Wrong

Im praying to God ,Adam just signs with TNT. The str8 men at the nba games are going to have to walk on the floor, with a trans on their arm , when Disney adds trans night to the nba schedule, Everything woke turns to hell.
