For those of us who grew up watching the NBA on NBC in the 90\u2019s, Tuesday\u2019s broadcast for the Philadelphia 76ers\u2019 home game against San Antonio will be a shot of nostalgia straight to the heart. NBC announced they are doing a \u2018Throwback Tuesday\u2019 telecast to recreate the experience of a 1995-96 broadcast.<\/p>\n

Just when you thought Doug Collins was out of our lives (timely given Shamus Clancy just wrote about how the Sixers didn\u2019t shoot threes during Collins\u2019 coaching tenure<\/a>), he\u2019ll be on the mic alongside Bob Costas, Mike Fratello and Jim Gray. As much as I don\u2019t look back on him as a coach overly fondly, I\u2019ve never minded Collins\u2019 work as a TV analyst, and that\u2019s a tremendous broadcast group. Having all those graphics and score bugs back for one night will be a fun trip down memory lane, and obviously, everyone knows the place of Roundball Rock in NBA history.<\/p>\n

Although the Sixers\u2019 1995-96 season was only memorable because their 18-64 record allowed them to draft Allen Iverson first overall in the NBA draft, it will be a blast seeing footage from across the league from that season. That year was also the final one for Philadelphia in the Spectrum; I\u2019ll always remember being a kid running around those sparsely-populated aisles chasing down coupons from the Lay\u2019s blimp. The Sixers\u2019 game against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs (currently riding an 11-game winning streak) was already going to be must-see TV, but this new broadcast twist is an exciting cherry on the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For those of us who grew up watching the NBA on NBC in the 90\u2019s, Tuesday\u2019s broadcast for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3797],"tags":[7,6,969,474,4075,4074,4186,534],"class_list":{"0":"post-630621","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio-spurs","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-nba","10":"tag-san-antonio","11":"tag-san-antonio-spurs","12":"tag-sanantonio","13":"tag-sanantoniospurs","14":"tag-sixers-news","15":"tag-spurs"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116149345965564087","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
