This video features the song “Headclobbers” by John Tesh, the same man who composed the song “Roundball Rock” which is famously known as the theme song of the NBA on NBC broadcast (1991-2002). The song is known as the NBA on NBC’s starting lineups theme.
------
HISTORY:
John Tesh produced three versions of "Headclobbers": the first version for the Tour de France in the late 1980s, a second version from his album Tour De France: The Early Years (1990) in which NBA Sports used for the NBA on NBC (the music featured in this video) from 1995 to 1998, and lastly, a third version - which sounded rock music-like - was introduced during the 1998-99 lockout season and was used until the end of the 2001-02 season, which marked the end of NBC’s contract to broadcast the NBA. Hopefully one day, the NBA will make it back to NBC.
NBC would utilize styled graphics and music to introduce the starting lineups of the teams who were scheduled to play that day. Most of the time, the format was used in games, such as a national TV game during the regular season, their Game of the Week, and most frequently, during the NBA Playoffs.

HOW I MADE IT:
Work on this project initially began back in late 2022, I was busy with a lot of personal things so I decided to resume finishing it this month.
For the music, I found the entire 1990 version from John Tesh’s album Tour De France: The Early Years, painstakingly screenshot the website with the music playing from start to finish to create a screenshot video, then detached the music from the video and export it into a mp3 file. Then on Audacity, I cut parts of the actual song to recreate the one that was shown on TV, and lastly, looped it on iMovie as I was putting this video together.
On the other hand, the footage (you’re seeing) with the graphics and music in motion came from mostly NBA games that took place between the 1994-95 and 1997-98 seasons.
