  • This collection of graphics were used by NBC for NBA telecasts during the 1991-1992 season. This was sourced from a tape used in the remote truck, which I then archived on S-VHS.
    Music is "Roundball Rock" which was composed for one-time "Entertainment Tonight" anchor John Tesh. You can see him performing it live here: • The Untold Story Behin...

    This is GLORIOUS. Thank you! That energetic John Tesh theme paired with those flashy 3D graphics were STELLAR in 1992! I was never much of a sports fan but I have this recorded on VHS numerous times just so that I could one day look back on it and smile- but you've gone the whole 9 yards! You don't know how happy this makes someone like me! You're the BEST!

    'Roundball Rock' by John Tesh & 'Sirius' by Alan Parsons Project were THE 2-song NBA soundtrack in the 90s. Tesh helped to glide you in to an afternoon of basketball, and Parsons Project reminded you that Michael Jordan was going to be the M.C. for the day. =)
    And yes, once 'Sirius' played, the Bulls already had a 20-point lead at the tip. XD

      Should note, this version of Roundball Rock used on telecasts is different than the original track that everyone shares and that FOX is using for College Basketball. The original track is more repetitive. This version used on NBC for games and promos is the version everyone is seeking.

      NBC was Definitely NBC whenever the NBA came on and that Peacock forming then you knew it was time for the NBC On NBC. Bob Costas and Marv Albert were the main guys Marv Albert called every NBA Finals 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 01, 02 and Bob Costas called it in 98, 99 and 2000. Either way it was the best era in our time. We know we ain’t gonna see it again for the foreseeable future but it just brings our memories back when we were younger.

    You're the real MVP for having the foresight to archive this stuff- it's a shame that the source material was either destroyed or is locked up somewhere to rot. Beautiful quality as always, it really shines given that the source was directly from the source and not over the air.
    And of course as I've said before, thanks for taking the time to properly digitise at the best quality possible. Just fantastic stuff!

Unclear to me why I only have an S-VHS copy of these NBA graphics -- I would have surely received it on 1-inch, or more likely, Betacam SP at that time.

      Too Bad NBC Sports is no longer allowed to use Roundball Rock because Fox Sports is using it for College Basketball Games.
      Here in Northern California NBC Sports Local edition does air the NBA on NBC with Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings but they have to use a different theme with some references to Roundball rock.

    Crazy how NBA on NBC Still exists but its on the regional level. Whenever Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings season games are on the Regional NBC Sports outlet airs them like NBC Sports Bay Area and NBC Sports California. Too Bad NBC can't use Roundball Rock anymore given that Fox Sports has it for College Basketball Games. NBC Sports has to use a different cut for the NBA on NBC Sports Regional.
