NBA 2025-26

[HoneyBadger]

Some healing in the world ... the NBA is back on NBC, Josh Tesh's iconic theme is back in the NBA, and we get to admire Maria Taylor more than once a week.

Buh buh buh buh buh basketball
Gimme gimme gimme the ball because I'm gonna dunk it!

Yes, the NBA on NBC just feels right, at least to this child of the '90s.

The only sports theme more iconic than Josh Tesh's Roundball Rock is John Williams' Bulger's Dream/Olympic Fanfare ... also attached to NBC.

 

[HoneyBadger]

NBC might be the thing to get the NBA back on track. They're making a regular season doubleheader feel bigger than ESPN on ABC makes an NBA Finals series feel.

 

[HoneyBadger]

This is a hell of a game between Houston and Oklahoma City.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Going to overtime!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Warrior/Lakers underway on Peacock too.

 

[HoneyBadger]

MORE OVERTIME!

 

[HoneyBadger]

The Thunder rolls!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Steph Curry is good at basketball.

(don’t mind me, I’m new to the NBA)

 

[HoneyBadger]

I would marry Maria Taylor.

The AI Jim Fagan voiceover is a bit too much nostalgia bait for me, but no question that NBC is a breath of fresh air to NBA coverage and net more overall exposure for the league. ESPN trading for the Inside crew was fantastic as well - the show tonight was indistinguishable from its TNT production outside of the network logo.

Wemby is gonna win the damn MVP if he stays healthy for most of the year. ‘Alien’ indeed.

That's because it's literally being produced by TNT Sports.

And fortunately ESPN is completely hands off and hasn’t tried to ‘influence’ it in any way. It’s only for certain portions of the season but the less we have to see Kendrick Perkins and SAS the better.

ESPN using more Tim Legler is also a move in the right direction.

I think it was part of the settlement between the NBA and WB Discovery, that TNT produces the show without interference.
