will be interesting to see how they broadcast halftime - will they give the panel ample time or will they go ad heavy like espn? and will they be fishing for rabid hot takes or actually talk calm and reasonable?

Damn did they have to have ringless trio Melo, Vince and T-Mac interviewing guys that just got a ring lol.

Jeez they make me feel old.

But awesome that they brought back the theme. NBA on NBC has always felt right.

NBC coverage is good as far. Unfortunately, they have Miller on the call

Omg I have so much chills from the music. I almost cried remembering when I was a child watching this

Absolutely loving the NBC presentation so far! They’re doing a really good job of trying to get you hyped for the actual game instead of just a bunch of random nonsense.

is there a present day new era bill walton commentating somewhere? we need that type of flavor to lighten things up over a long season.

I don't even care about the NBC crew, hearing that song brings it all back for me in an amazing way

For real. I miss a Bill Walton type of personality

Tears in my eyes hearing that music not even going lie. NBC making grown men cry, memories of my childhood.

Love the cheer for Adams and the loud sustained Durant boo
