Talk:NBA on NBC Sports

Logo Used

Can we get the original logo up there. That was classic. The new one just wasn't quite the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.221.33 (talk) 04:59, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

It should be pointed out that this was the worst period in NBA history. Jordan won all of his 6, Phil won all of his 9 coaching, championships in the NBC era. Any coincidence? -Amit

• • Pointing that out would be point of view, specially considering the Celtics dominated the late 1950s-early to middle 1960s.- Antonio repeat Glory Marti

• • • The ratings for that period would say otherwise; the NBA's top 4 rated NBA Finals occured in '93, '96, '97', and '98. Paulsen 20:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Origin of Opening

When was the NBA on NBC open first used (you know, with the beams of light forming the peacock)? If it did indeed begin in 1990, then that would be saying a lot about the animation of that era! 71.111.232.40 22:10, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

It was futuristic animation... that's what made the NBA on NBC so great. Seriously, even some of the graphics in the late 90's seemed ahead of their time, as no other network really had 3-D transitions between replays. The graphics were always crisp and clean with NBC Sports, and not overdone. The font they used was perfect too. I always thought to myself, if I were to setup a broadcast with graphics, I'd choose NBC's naturally. Amazing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.221.33 (talk) 04:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

"The" NBA on NBC?

Just curious as to where "The" is used as an official title. Every instance I see is strictly NBA on NBC. --Zimbabweed 01:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

• Good point. The visual title of the show is "NBA on NBC"; while 'The' is added before the title in spoken word, (ex., Jim Fagan saying "this is the NBA on NBC"), it is not in the actual title. I moved the page to 'NBA on NBC'. Phillip J. Fry 01:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  • All the sponsor promos begin by saying "The NBA on NBC is brought to you by..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.237.29.125 (talk) 17:05, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Fan Support section

This section is unreferenced, poorly written and punctuated, and adds very little value to the article. I propose it be deleted entirely. If someone wants to put together a coherent, researched new section on the same topic, be my guest. The current one should probably go. Franklin Bynum 04:54, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I am Marv Albert. I miss the NBA on NBC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.221.33 (talk) 04:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Easily the greatest sports telecast in the history of western civilization. Someone build a time machine so we can go back and live the glory days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.221.33 (talk) 04:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I miss the NBA on NBC. Life just isn't the same without it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.237.29.125 (talk) 20:55, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in NBA on NBC

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of NBA on NBC's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "GiantsFSN":

• From NBC Sports Bay Area:
• From NBC Sports Regional Networks:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 03:43, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Proposed split of 1990s iteration

Hello. The NBA aired on NBC for two iterations, and while the 1990s iteration is the best known, in particular for its theme, do you think it's possible to have the 1990-2002 broadcast split into its own article? Thank you. ScarletViolet tc 05:18, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Oppose multiple other programs of the sort NHL on ESPN, NASCAR on NBC include multiple eras.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 06:26, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
