"This is NBA on NBC, Tonight will feature Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls vs New York Knicks! Here is Bob Costas in the Studio with Jim Gray as the side line reporter, along side of Tom Hammond, Bill Walton, Steve "Snapper" Jones." I can still remember this after 20+ years...

just a nitpick but if the bulls were playing--especially against the Knicks AND Bob was the studio host--it would be covered by Ahmad, Marv and fratello/guokas. :P Gumbel, Walton and Jones were always B team although I kinda wish Snapper was put on the finals broadcasts back then because he had the best color commentary voice in the biz back then.

The story lines that played while Bob Costas narrates were hypnotizing!

@@downnice95 NHL ratings on ESPN were actually lower than filler shows as was shown during the 2004-'05 lockout. NBC/NBCSN has really built up the NHL but the NHL really needs the Rangers and Kings to be playing for the Stanley Cup virtually every year to build the ratings as there are many people who don't follow sports who will watch ANYTHING that is New York vs. LA (or in their minds, "Broadway vs. Hollywood"). NBA really needs to have the same thing happen with the Knicks and Lakers (with or without LeBron) playing every year in the Finals or the ratings could drop.

Sure, hope NBC gets the rights back in 2024.

90’s was the golden era for sports hands down. No one fought over each other’s politics and virtue signaled every day on social media. We were all unified in just enjoying sports with each other.
