That's funny, FOX is also using Roundball Rock for its college basketball coverage this year, so John Tesh will get royalties from two networks. I thought they would use a brand-new theme (and at one point, I even expected them to revert to the college football theme), but they must've changed their minds and decided to stick with the current theme after all. This is probably the first time two different networks are using the same song concurrently, is it not?

Also, it's great to see the Bulls winning again; I haven't seen that since the Derrick Rose-Joakim Noah years.

Nico finally got what was coming to him; justice is partially served, just need the Mavs new owners to be gone too.  I get that you didn't have the money to pay Luka an all-time record $350 million, but you could have at least offered him something, maybe some much-needed help for Luka like another free agent signing to take some load off Luka's shoulders and or get for a better return on the deal.  Luka and Giannis would have been made the Mavs even more formidable and lethal than just Luka by himself.  Luka wanted to stay in the Metroplex....he was fully committed; at least get him some help on the roster to win the championship.

Also wouldn't surprise me to see a job offer from LA to Nico as how he was unofficial working for them back in February practically handing Luka to the Lakers for almost little value in return.

Stephen A. Smith is out at NBA Countdown, but he'll still be on ESPN in another capacity. Also, LeBron is now the longest-tenured player in history, now playing in his 23rd season.

Happy that SAS won't be on countdown. He was a distraction at best. ESPN's failure to develop a quality game time show (outside of its acquisition of Inside the NBA) remains a prime example of professional malpractice.

Sunday Night Football already has Carrie Underwood, so Lenny Kravitz is about to take center stage for the new Sunday Night Basketball theme:


Any guess to who'd be the favorite to perform a Sunday Night Baseball theme, now that NBC has it too?

Nuggets become the first team in NBA history to have three different players (Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon) to have 50-point games in the first 21 games of the season.

I do, too.  I can't stand the butchering of Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight" on Monday nights . . .

It's a crossover post (sports and roads): I-77 exit 30, which leads to Davidson College in North Carolina, coincidentally matches Steph Curry's NBA jersey number and his alma mater. That interchange was recently named the "Stephen Curry Interchange".

Bulls game last night was postponed due to court conditions. Combination of heavy rainfall and record temps caused the ice underneath to start melting and condensation was forming underneath on the cover and on the court.

We got 2-3" of rainfall in about 5 hrs with flooding issues

I remember this coming up with the Bulls back around 1990.  Apparently the padding on the basketball floor wasn't thick enough.  Some remarked "Jordan could pay for [better padding]."

This is what happens when an NBA and NHL team share the same arena. Most likely the Blackhawks game is also postponed for the same reason.

James Harden is on his sixth team.  Giannis trade talks flare back up again.

And we're a year after the Luka Doncic trade with both the Mavs and the Lakers tied at zero championships since the trade.

Luka is putting up 30 PPG, and the Lakers are leading their division. Meanwhile, the Mavs are 12th in the conference and Anthony Davis keeps getting hurt. That trade still looks like as much of a disaster for them as everyone said it would be at the time.

The Lakers rank 5th in the Western Conference. They're currently 9 games behind the Thunder.
