'Roundball Rock' to anchor NBA reporting on NBC and peacocks

NBC Sports will reintroduce “Roundball Rock”, the former title song “NBA on NBC” by John Tesh, for his reporting.

The hymn returns in October and agrees with the National Basketball Association with the beginning of the 11-year media law agreement of the network.

“Roundball Rock” from 1990 to 2002 was widely recognized in the previous reporting on the NBC league.

The song was originally composed by Tash in 1989 and was quickly associated with top-class players and moments, including Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls' Championship Run, the rise of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant as well as Key Playoff rival.

The topic is used during the regular season and post-season programs in NBC and Peacock. It is also included in marketing and advertising campaigns that lead to the season.
