Because ESPN hates their viewers. They replaced this iconic theme that rivaled TNT’s theme with the shitty ass rap music theme they have now. It’s bad enough that they got rid of JVG and Mark Jackson too and now we have to listen to this new shit theme in addition to that.
From Mark Jackson, Doris Burke, and all of us down at ABC, we’d like to thank you for tuning this to this years edition of the nba finals, here on ABC. I’m Mike Breen, signing off.
@@Mrcharles. Yea, don't know why they changed it. This theme has been associated with the Playoffs/Finals since 2011, yet they decided to go with this ruclips.net/video/8L6EsFXh2O8/видео.html. It is indeed an L for ESPN, especially with how great this theme is.
Final score here from game 6 the Cavaliers 109 the Celtics 99 Sports center is coming up next from our producer Tim Corgen our director Jimmy Moore and our fantastic ESPN crew of course the Mark Jackson Jeff Van Gundy And Doris Burke Mike Breen saying thanks for watching we’ve got a Game 7 and we’ll see you sunday night on ESPN from the TD Garden in Boston.
And for the 6th straight year in a NBA finals we are tied one a piece..and the journey continues in the quicken loans arena...Final score Warriors 93 Cavaliers 95...From Jeff van gundy and our outstanding crew, Mike Breen says thanks for watching ABC the home of the NBA finals.
Reminds me when Kobe grinds his teeth From a comeback or blowing a team out. The NBA showing highlights clips when the game is over.. #8 #24 RIP G.O.A.T & REST IN PEACE GIANNA
I remember when Nba Sunday showcase was on through 2011-2013 and it was great. Kobe, Bron, Kd, Rose, Pierce, Wade, Cp3, Melo and Howard. Was such a great time for basketball.
“It’s over, the golden state warriors return to a familiar place, they’re on top of the NBA. The 4th title in 8th years, the dub dynasty is still very much still alive.”
I'll never forget this song when Kyle Lowry was walking to the locker room after dropping 36 pts in game 7 to lead the Raptors to their first ECF in 2016 😢
“As no team in NBA history has ever came back from a 3-1 deficit, the Cavaliers look here tonight to keep their Championship hopes alive as they try to force a game 7 here in game 6.”
"As Golden State win tonight they go up 2-0 on the series, for Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy and our amazing crew I’m Mike Breen thanks for watching the NBA on ESPN home of the NBA Finals, saying so long from Oakland"
This song will always remind me of Game 6 of the 2018 ECF after lebron hit 2 crazy threes over Tatum and you hear " that's greats defense, but better offense. " Chills!
Sherman Ng still don’t think they would’ve won. Wade struggled with the injury bug, Chris Bosh missed half the season with an injury, and Ray Allen retired
" A devastating loss for the Suns, an exhilaration for the Los Angeles Lakers, now 1 win away from advancing to the 2nd round. A thriller here at the Staples Center. The Final Score The lakers 99 and the suns 98. Hubie Brown, and Lisa Salters, and our entire crew, this is Mike Breen saying so long from Los Angeles. and its only the first round. You're watching ABC sports, Home of the NBA Finals."
So the Cleveland Cavaliers grasp Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals by a final score of 108 to 103. LeBron had 40 pts, Kyrie had 37 pts and the rest of the team was able to fall in line. Cleveland leads the series, 1 game to 0. Game 2 will be coming up on Sunday night. Coverage begins at 7:30 p.m. with NBA Countdown, with the game beginning shortly after 8 p.m. Your late local news is coming up next (except on the west coast). For our director Tim Corrigan, our director Jimmy Moore, and of course for the terrific ABC crew, and for Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy and Doris Burke, Mike Breen saying Thanks for watching ABC, home of the 2018 NBA Finals. Goodnight from Oakland.
This reminds me of the 2010 Lakers winning the 2010 NBA Finals! I miss the old Lakers, really not the same Lakers as they were before back in the early 2000's. I miss Mamba so much! I just can't believe it's already been around 3 years since his final game! 😭😭😭😭😭
Welcome to chase center for the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors game 1 glad to have you guys here for this anticipated game
@@coleslawsalad823 I disagree the best dynasty to ever go against each other is celtics and Lakers no nba team could ever reach the rivalry Boston is known to have the most rivalry in all sports Celtics vs Lakers Redsox vs Yankees Patriots vs colts Bruins vs maple leaf
@@octaneswagg im not comparing the rivalry to those, im talking about the somewhat recent rivalry that disappeared and the nba isn’t the same without it
"Well, that will do it for the finals. Once again, the Spurs are your 2014 NBA champions. Kawhi Leonard is your finals MVP. The final score, San Antonio 104, Miami 87. We thank you for another great season. For Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson, and the rest of our wonderful ESPN crew, I'm Mike Breen, saying thank you for watching ABC, home of the NBA Finals."
i literally get chills down my spine watching this bro. lebron vs GS every year w mike breen van gundy and mark jackson. we complained about Cleveland GSW every year but we would all do anything to go back to those days. this music takes us back to a better ttime in the nba and in our lives
![Evolution of the epic "NBA Finals on ABC" ending/closing theme [EVERY YEAR: 2003-2019]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4bNitJnvFGM/mqdefault.jpg)
The fact that this theme has been discontinued is criminal in my honest opinion
they've been playing music for the regular season in the finals 🤦♂it's so lame that it's disrespectful
This music will probably be forever associated with Lebron and Golden State.
ibn1989 Warriors fan here, but are we gonna pretend that the Raptors don’t exist?
ibn1989 I always heard this song on the heat finals
Naw, it was more when LeBron was in Miami.
Heat vs. Spurs was a better rivalry
dude i was about to comment "am i the only one who thinks about the cavs vs warriors finals while listening to this"
Why tf did they get rid of this
Yeah seriously, why would they?
Because ESPN hates their viewers. They replaced this iconic theme that rivaled TNT’s theme with the shitty ass rap music theme they have now. It’s bad enough that they got rid of JVG and Mark Jackson too and now we have to listen to this new shit theme in addition to that.
They don’t play this theme anymore sadly
They should bring this theme back instead of playing random rap music.
Facts. The new theme is TRASH!!
The legendary GSW vs Cavs days.,ohhh good times
Hopefully they’ll use this version when the playoffs begin in a few weeks.
@@Mrcharles.😢😢
I wish they used this for the playoffs
Miss those days so much
Legendary? Those years sucked. 4 straight freaking years of knowing who’s making it to the finals smh
Thanks for watching the nba on abc. Home of the NBA Finals.
Every time the finals arrive you know summer is officially here.

“It’s over, the golden state warriors return to a familiar place, they’re on top of the NBA. The 4th title in 8th years, the dub dynasty is still very much still alive.”
As a Mavs fan it’s bittersweet having us return to The Finals for the first time in 13 years knowing we won’t hear this theme 🥲
I’m right there with you man, I thought the exact thing. Let’s go Mavs!!
Now Booker, throws it up to Ayton, "SHOT BLOCKED BY ANTETOKOUNMPO".
2021 finals was amazing, waiting for 2022.
Just a couple more days until the 2023 NBA playoffs begin. Hopefully they use this theme again.
@@Mrcharles. too bad it was the end of an era
Bring. This. Back. ESPN.

Cavaliers vs Warriors GAME 7 NBA FINALS🏆
I'll never forget this song when Kyle Lowry was walking to the locker room after dropping 36 pts in game 7 to lead the Raptors to their first ECF in 2016 😢
Chills
nba on nbc is billion times better
TheBagBalm never experience it cause they took it away 😔

0:23 to 0:29 gotta be the most underrated part
It’s about that time
But this year in 2023 there's no playoff theme which replace regular season theme
Unfortunately we never hear this theme anymore
Bring this back the new one just ain’t it
Bro why did they get rid of this theme. Adam Silver’s NBA man.
According to Adam Silver, Quantity > Quality.
Suns vs Bucks, 2021 NBA finals. Lets go!!
The worst decision made by ESPN is removing this theme from NBA Playoffs 😢
Nuggets vs. Heat is gonna be 🔥
You called it! It just took a lot longer lol.
espn should never remove these great playoffs theme away with those suck boring music
Its so boring without it
one athlete comes to my mind every time I hear this
the goat Legoat James
MJ better
BLOCKED BY JAMES!
YRN Jaden Lebron James with the rejection
Jotaro Kujo oi jotaro aren’t you dead

"As Golden State win tonight they go up 2-0 on the series, for Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy and our amazing crew I’m Mike Breen thanks for watching the NBA on ESPN home of the NBA Finals, saying so long from Oakland"
This song will always remind me of Game 6 of the 2018 ECF after lebron hit 2 crazy threes over Tatum and you hear " that's greats defense, but better offense. " Chills!
Imagine if LeBron stayed on the Heat and faced the Warriors in 2015.
