This is the greatest basketball theme song ever. So memorable, the fact that ABC refused to take it when the nba switched over boggles my mind. Basketball deserves this theme to be resurrected.

Unfortunately some are injured or not playing.
Tony Khan you magnificent madman! You did it! Takes me back to the old days of Watching the 1994 NBA Finals Game 7- Rockets vs Knicks at the Summit in Houston! "The Dream" Hakeem.......Olajuwon!!!!! Winter is Coming NBA Style Game 4! Death Triangle vs The Elite! Thank you Mr Tesh!
I'm 41, and this is by far the most iconic theme song for a sport in the history of human existence. Mr. Tesh you are the man. This song is a masterpiece. I've had this as my cell phone ringtone for quite some time now. When someone calls me and I just happen to be out in public it is amazing how many people my age and older react to hearing it. People love it! This is the 1990's. Sports in general were worth watching and life was simple, creative, and fun. I wish we could go back. Thanks for the everlasting memories, John! Keep doing your thing!!!
actually there is an other one but you probably never heard it, it was the old theme of hockey night in canada on cbc , that was sold to an other network and bashed ....
Yeah, sorry to burst your bubble dude, but the original Hockey Night in Canada theme totally blows this out of the water. A little history: "The Hockey Theme" is a Canadian piece of instrumental theme music composed in 1968 by Dolores Claman and orchestrated by Jerry Toth. It was widely recognized as Canada's unofficial second national anthem."
Exactly. I imagine jordan dunking it, magic passing it, bird shooting it, isaiah dribbling, charles barkley talking ish/mad, rodman rebounding over all 9 players etc. Or shaq putting some poor center threw the rim etc.
Growing up I always knew John Tesh for being a co-host on Entertainment Tonight, a great piece of my childhood. I also knew he was a musician but had no idea he composed one of the most iconic songs in sports history.
@@72vince27 Alluding to "The promise of Western Civilization" does not qualify as a racial undertone. Your attempt to assault the character of the OP with your unfounded, unnecessary and laughably ignorant remarks speaks volumes about you.
Oh man this brings back memories. I was a 90s kid and my dad loved watching the Chicago Bulls. Sadly passed in 97, but I would remember watching with him and can picture this song playing while we both waited for the game to start
One of my favorite theme songs for any sports coverage, "Roundball Rock," composed by John Tesh as the theme song of NBA on NBC which aired from 1991 to 2002; and also used when Michael Jordan won six championships with the Chicago Bulls. Doing a good job playing that theme song, especially when I used to watch classic 90s NBA games...
The fact that you get a standing ovation for this speaks volumes. As a huge basketball fan, NBA fan, MJ fan, my GOD, this was life. My childhood. Absolutely stunning. Greatest sports theme music ever created.
GREATEST SPORTS THEME, EVERRRR! As a kid in the 90s, this theme means it's time to drop everything off and go watch the NBA on NBC. Great times with my late dad. :)
Thanks John Tesh as a inner city kid raised in Detroit that took basketball very serious back in the 90's . This theme music was a soundtrack to me watching the NBA on NBC during the early 90's ...This music makes me very happy and depressed at the same time ....
Came here by googling the tune because I’m watching a Fox sports broadcast of Creighton vs UConn college basketball and they’re using it now!!! I couldn’t believe it!!! The soundtrack of my youth, the early 1990s Cleveland Cavaliers of Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, Larry Nance, Craig Ehlo, and coach Lenny Wilkens at the old Richfield Coliseum!! How good that team was to only and always get beat by those damn Bulls and Michael Jordan in the playoffs every damn year!!
There is a live recording of this theme song???!!! Possibly the best thing I have found on You Tube this year.....great memories of watching "the NBA on NBC" in the 90s!!
At the end of communism in Poland, and after the start of transmission of NBA, this Awesome Sound was like an introduction to the wonderful theater of basketball and the Western World. Unforgettable phenomenal music, will forever remind the greatest basketball events of 90! Thanks so much John!
This is the best theme song for a coverage of an NBA game. John Tesh is an amazing talented man. He composed "Roundball Rock" as the theme to NBA on NBC. #RoundballRock
this is the best... this is everything basketball, live television, and high dollar entertainment is wrapped up in one song. There will never be a theme quite like this ever again.
Don't forget Dream Team when Olympic basketball is on NBC. This theme was also on Olympic basketball coverage in the 1990's and used in Olympics whenever the Gold Medal is on the line.
Good lord I'd give anything to see this performed live. This is the sound of my childhood. I can practically see MJ running down the court in a slow motion video package.
This is awesome. I was a JV and Varsity Basketball player in HS and was Center. I love the sport because everyone in my family has height and played the sport...thanks to my Father🤣🤣
Nostalgia tears 😢😢😢every time. I have had this theme playing in my head since i was 5 years old... I remember sprinting up and down the gym dribbling with this theme in my head, THIS IS basketball THE. Basketball theme, no argument
I absolutely love this song. Brings back so many memories of watching 90's basketball. B-B-B-B-BASKETBALL, GIMME GIMME GIMME THE BALL BECAUSE I'M GUNNA DUNK IT.
EVERY.THING.ABOUT.THIS. THE HAIR, THE VEST, THE GOATEE, THE SKIPPING, THE ANSWERING MACHINE, THE ORCHESTRA, THE EARNEST KEYBOARD PLAYING....I AM NOW DEAD...AND I DON'T REGRET ANYTHING, BECAUSE THIS IS EVERYTHING!!!!!
Everything about this video makes me nostalgic for my 90’s childhood. Watching the Bulls with my dad and eating mediocre dominos pizza...fuck dude, i miss that time so much.
Only way to end it is: and this is Marv Albert and Doug Collin’s from a sold out arena in Madison square gardens with everything on the line…. Ah the days.

It’s a lyrics first song…
John Tesh doesn't need to go that hard on the keyboard, but he does...he does for us.
This is possibly the most 90s-looking performance I have ever seen.
The violinist in a civil war coat captures such a specific time of the 90s too

The GOAT sports theme
There are 2 themes that are equal each other in sports the theme of the nba on nbc and the theme for hockey night in Canada of the 1960-2000
Guys the NBA just signed a new deal with NBC starting next year and this song is coming back let’s party.
They used it in the Olympics when they covered basketball
Yayyy
I love all the magicians outfits

Way too funny, I'm waiting for Marv Albert to come out on stage too. You beat me to the punch.

Coming to you live from New York on a brisk 36 degree day.
Yes sir - amp level 10000x!
I heard it in his voice too.
TNT should buy the right to this NBA on Nbc theme song. Reminds me of the good old days of the 90's. So iconic!
It wouldn't be the same. Not unless they also get Bob Costas to narrate a melodramatic intro before every game that Marv Albert calls.
Looking like the NBA is returning to NBC and you know what that means!
a decade later from your comment and NBC is getting NBA broadcast rights back. get ready as tesh has said he will re-license the theme if they simply give him a call.
@@Lindsylldone deal. The music IS coming back.
The thing about a John Tesh concert to me is, not only was he unabashedly dorky at the time, but also everyone in the audience made plans paid money and got dressed and left the house to hear live versions of their favorite TV theme songs, and there's something truly powerful about that level of not caring about how uncool you are
everyone in that building is having a great time! just humans enjoying life! it’s beautiful.
this video is like a relic of a long gone empire, good times that will never come back.
I honestly think it's pretty cool. It just heightens the prestige and seriousness of it all. I feel like everything is too informal now.
because it's about your identity and authentically embracing it. i mean it can be inappropriate at times though.
How cool to be uncool!😂
Hello how are you doing I’ll love to get to know you
The sorriest teams could be playing and this music will still make you want to watch the game! NBA please bring this back along with Saturday Hoops on Network television.
Well said.
This is fantastic. The NBA should mandate all national broadcasts to use this as intro music. None of the current NBA themes can even touch this one.
fox sports uses the theme for college basketball.
Olympic basketball on NBC Sports and Peacock app is using this song for Team USA fight for the gold.
This is still true.
TNT is decent
Nothing has ever towed the line between nerdy and cool quite like this. A master class
Facts...cool as shit and nerdy as hell...love it!

God Bless John Tesh for making this THE Best Theme for the NBA
T-Bone Hubbard You forgot 3x All-Star (1997 All-Star MVP) Glen Rice
The best theme for the best era of the nba.. and it’s no close (i think between 1990-02 and so on until ‘10)
Nice profile pic
Best era of the nba by far
Now its Lebron James, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Giannis Antetokoumnpo, Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic, Kemba Walker, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, Dwight Howard, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, Andre Iguodala, Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony, Victor Oladipo, Donovan Mitchell, Cj Mccullum, Zach Lavine, Kyle Lowry.
