Couple of observations 1 - I haven't seen a solid quality of this game on here! 2 - Pat Riley and Bob Costas called games? Thought they were only in studio! 3 - The 1990-91 NBA on NBC intro with Jordan over Ehlo in Cleveland is nice but it should have had the Bad Boys celebrating the 1990 title! 4 - And who knew that Peter Gabriel could get you hyped for some basketball!
@@michaelallen8112 I will. I just remember him in the Bad Boys documentary ripping on the Pistons for the infamous walk off after the Bulls swept them in the '91 ECF and not knowing the real reason why.
I thought Marv Albert and Mike Fratello did the marquee games for NBC the first few years they had the NBA. Bob Costas and Pat Riley doing PxP & commentary was very different for NBC because they did the NBA Showtime pregame show.
Double Header on NBC this day, Marv & his crew did Celtics vs Pacers on this day while Costas & Riley got out the studio to do Lakers vs Pistons. I think Dick Enberg may have been off or another NBC Assignment.
@Mdbball Do you have any of the 1996 Dream Team games? I was watching the '96 Dream Team game vs USA Select on RUclips and in the 2nd half the Select Team was really struggling to bring the ball up the court in the second half after despite having a 17-point lead in the first half. I don't see any pool games available on RUclips.
@@coreyortiz9913 They were called "Dream Team 3". Dream Team 2 was the World Championship team that featured Shawn Kemp and a lot of guys from the Dream Team 3. You can look it up.
2 repeat champs, winners of the previous 4 championships
THIS is the NBA on NBC
Not quite. No Thomas and no Alcindor.
Best Era of all time for NBA
Where is this beautiful NBA??? What a NBC intro!!!!❤❤
Another good one. I guess everybody thinks the games from their era were the best but man this was the golden era. So much talent.
Peter Gabriel: “In your eyes”
This was the last season for quite awhile where Lakers/Pistons matchups were marquee games everyone looked forward to seeing.
Their March 1992 matchup was still decent enough to get an NBC game
Actually the Bulls won their first title in this season
Magic Johnson Vs The Bad Boys
Did Isiah Thomas play in this game?

Costas was actually the lead play-by-play for three years after Marv Albert got into legal trouble.
Agreed on your 3rd point, but NBC had a bias for MJ and hated the Pistons.
@@Mark-xl1zeDick Ebersol look him up & the connection to him being NBC exe buying the NBA rights allegedly

Shot selection is a lost art 😢
Is Pat Riley the color commentator on this broadcast?? He is very good and comfortable for someone who was only in media one year
Yes
Sunday, February 24th, 1991
The Injury of Isiah Thomas Chicago's Own was playing greatness.
Day that Desert Storm's ground war begun.
LeBron before LeBron. Control the pace,pass and score. Worthy was a machine as you could see.
nice one. That song at the beginning reminds me so much of the early 90s vibe
👍
I love Ken Calvert/Palace era games!

Basketball was all around better back then, look how the game starts with the dramatics
Laker favoritism is of all ages no wonder Kareem, lazy Shaq and LeOpportunist were eager to join the clowns in yellow
Cry harder.
How is Shaq lazy when he was the Lakers only rebounder, shot blocker, inside presence and was both the teams star & garbage man

@@coreyortiz9913 The 1996 US Olympic Basketball team was called Dream Team 3. Look it up.
By any chance do you have the matchup between these two teams in Detroit for the 88-89 season?
Yes I think so
@@MDBBallif you can get that one up that would be money, thanks in advance.
