B-B-B-B-B-Basketball!!! While that Roundball Rock theme song hits the ears of NBA fans this year like fine wine, what made the original NBA on NBC such a memorable time other than Michael Jordan and the John Tesh theme? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, have quite a few reasons to discuss in this countdown episode reminiscing about some great Association moments on the Peacock between 1990 and 2002.

How many times did Charles Smith get that shot blocked? What was Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson's greatest moments on NBC? We discuss all this and much more in Part 1! So suit up your retro unis and take it out with THE NBA-Team!
