This video makes me feel like I am in my room dunking a Nerf basketball on a Sunday afternoon. My dad is yelling at me because I didn't hang my Sunday suit and its laying in a wrinkled heap on the bed and my mom is telling us to wash our hands because the pot roast is ready.

In the meantime Reggie Miller and Rick Smits are walking out of the locker room preparing to take on John Starks and Patrick Ewing.

And at 3:30 we are about to witness Dennis Rodman/David Robinson square off with Charles Barkley/Dan Majerle.

" See that YouTube clip embedded at right? A friend of mine passed along the link Monday. It's John Tesh performing on Catalina Island in 1997, only he's dressed like a waiter on a cruise ship and looks like a mutant James Van Der Beek. The clip starts with Tesh pontificating to the crowd, then playing a message that he left for himself with ... (wait for it) ... the original beats for the "NBA on NBC" music. I think he means to be ironic, but there's something non-ironic about his quest to be ironic. Again, he's dressed like a waiter on a cruise ship. And I thought the clip ended there, but no! At the 1:15 mark, Tesh starts emphatically dribbling an invisible basketball as the crowd applauds in rhythm -- you heard me, air dribbling -- then prances over to his real piano and bangs out the "NBA" song with a 25-person orchestra. You know what happens next, my friends? Magic! That's what. Pay special attention to the violinist -- I'm definitely hiring him for my second and fourth weddings."

This is the greatest anthem in sports to this day.

2/16/2009 3:21:06 PM

It was great except for John Tesh, Violin Solos from Ringo Star's out of work half brother and guitar solos from some other scrub.

But the theme song was great

2/16/2009 3:27:00 PM

John Tesh went to NC State?

2/16/2009 3:33:35 PM

^^so it was great except for everything that made it great?
