You couldn't help but get fired up every time you see the Bulls get introduced for these big games. This, combined with the NBC intro during those years, made it feel big time. And it was.
Growing up in Chicago at that time as a kid, I remember everyone stopping everything they were doing & watching not just the game, but the intro. If you were out, you found the nearest TV, because the intro was just as legendary as the team. The PA announcer Ray Clay was so good, you never wanted to miss it. "And now, the starting lineup, for your WORLD CHAMPION CHICAGO BULLS!!!"
Those days were a lot of fun for us adults too - grew up in the south suburbs, moved away, then in the 90s I was in my 30s living and working in Chicago and felt like a kid every time I saw that intro.
I remember this era well. I had the opportunity to travel to Chicago from SE Michigan on several occasions to watch Chicago play at home. It was nothing less than epic! If this didn't get you stoked, you had issues!
Yeah but Portland played their best game in game 6 of the series in which they blew a 17 point lead and lost the game and series. That was so heartbreaking.
I was so glad I had the WGN channel here in Cleveland so I could watch every game intro. I hated when the Bulls were on TNT because that channel never showed the intros.
When you hear this song and introduction, you know MJ and Pippen and the rest of the crew about to throw it down. Still give me chills seeing the introduction.
I watch old footage and I see alot of celebrities court side at Chicago Bulls home games. Dan Aykroyd, John Hughes, Jim Belushi, Joe Mantegna, Cindy Crawford, the list goes on and on. I even saw Tim Allen and he's a die hard Pistons fan. Back then, this was the place to be.
What a wonderful memory of that time when I learned to love the Chicago Bulls here in Brazil at the age of 16 and all these players! What an unforgettable presentation!
BRazor92 fracmento remove the DVD (Ultimate Jordan) who brought that game and use a program to raise the resolution a bit, good thing you like, thanks to comment.
@@SmoovyNovaFan True. There's a TH-cam home video of a guy that attached a camera to his car and just went around filming everything and everyone in New York City in like 1992. They said it was the same equipment/resolution that professional cinema movies were shot back in that time. The resolution looks almost the same as 1080p. It was pretty wild to see.
Huge Bulls fan here, and growing up in Idaho during that time the teams were the Blazers, Sonics and of course the Jazz. Playing all three en route to 6 titles in 8 years was so perfect and it allowed me to talk so much s*** to all those teams' fans during the season and summer. Shout outs though to the true spirits and souls of the late Jerome Kersey, Kevin Duckworth, and Cliff Robinson. Very good players and people who gave back to their communities. Gone too soon 😞🙏
Jon Bruner It was Sirius by the Alan Parsons Project, not Eye in the Sky. But Sirius leads onto Eye In The Sky which I’m pretty sure was the jumpball song for the 90s Bulls.
I remember seeing this intro live on TV in 1992. I was 12 years old at the time. To this day in 2023 (and beyond), it is the most awesome sports team intro.
It’s not just you. As a west coast native I rooted against the Bulls for the whole damn decade and every time I heard this song I would think “These guys are too awesome to lose.”
I'm pretty sure the Bulls were the first NBA team to turn the lights out and do a really dramatic lineup intro. Way before their time with that. As a Cavs fan, I hated the MJ Bulls. But was so glad I had the WGN channel so I could watch every game intro.
@@briancalifornia1 It’s a joke lol. I’m familiar with the music. I was referring to the Bulls intro music, Alan Parsons Project’s ‘Sirius’, as being intimidating to visiting teams. In this case, the Blazers.
Wow.....this just took me back. I was 15 years old and I remember the excitement I would have getting ready to watch a Bulls playoff game. It was a honor to watch Mike and Scottie during their prime........even though I was the only Bulls fan in New York City at the time!
"It was over when bulls music hit" Besides, some guy would hit 6 three pointers and have 35 points at halftime. He also did the infamous SHRUG. This all would take place 1 hour into the game!! Damn, what was his name???? I know his tongue hangs out......
As much as I love the United Center... Chicago stadium was just magical!! Fun fact the bull that was Center Court is Michael Jordan's floor in his trophy room now
This one was the hardest team to beat in all finals the Bulls played in. Trailbazers had shooters including Danny Ainge. Porter and Drexler alone was problems. I believe that year they started 30+-O or something like that.
Had to be one heck of an honor to call out Jordan's name in intros. With no Dad Jordan was what we looked up to because we knew he'd deliver but was my Idol
Once the lights went down and Sirius started playing the opposing team was already down 10 points.
Mainly more like 20 or 30 points. 10 points down is too generous.
Best. Post. Ever!!!
This still gets reposted 10 years later
Took the words right out of my mouth lol @@rjm22nd
Man I remember being 7 years old, soon as those lights went out at the stadium, goosebumps, and my heart would beat outta my chest. Great times.
Nothing like the old sounds of the Bulls @ Chicago Stadium to get my morning going
Yes I miss being a child and watching the Bulls in the 90s
I was 5
I was 9 almost 10 still get jacked up hearing this
100%... electric
I always loved how anti-climatic "the head coach of the Bulls is Phil Jackson" was, he always looked annoyed by that
I don't think Phil gave two shits after his intro. He just wanted to coach the team to a win.
The Zen Master for a reason. Man was all about business 💯
@M American football and baseball bud
Snnnnnnnesdrunk
You've OBVIOUSLY never been in the zone before lmao 🤣

I agree nba on nbc intro was legendary

+Blueblur22 Totally agree, NBC intros were the best, it was a golden age 90s th-cam.com/video/rhyTOZp8Ra0/w-d-xo.html

Damn right! The Bulls beat Portland, winning the championship a day before I graduated h.s.
My dad told me the same thing. He saidd the streets were empty when the bulls were playing
Man....this series was no joke. This version of rip-city was beast. The Bulls earned this one.
Yeah but Portland played their best game in game 6 of the series in which they blew a 17 point lead and lost the game and series. That was so heartbreaking.
1:12 Nothing in professional sports ever put quiet the same fear into an opposing team than this!
01:12 that crowd scream...amazing
I remember as a young lad we were pissed if they didn't show this and they showed the starting lineup matchups instead
sad you now have to go to the game if you want to see player intros. we get ¢ommer¢ial$ instead.
Same
😂 you are so right !!!!
I was so glad I had the WGN channel here in Cleveland so I could watch every game intro. I hated when the Bulls were on TNT because that channel never showed the intros.
MVP: Alan Parsons, for the "Sirius" intro.
This gave me the chills...
When you hear this song and introduction, you know MJ and Pippen and the rest of the crew about to throw it down. Still give me chills seeing the introduction.
The spinning high 5 for all starters. Loved that.
when John Paxson was good at his job!!
Erik Hopkins i saw that 🤣
Great quality!! Something about the Old Chicago Stadium that still gives me goosebumps👍🏽👍🏽
I watch old footage and I see alot of celebrities court side at Chicago Bulls home games. Dan Aykroyd, John Hughes, Jim Belushi, Joe Mantegna, Cindy Crawford, the list goes on and on. I even saw Tim Allen and he's a die hard Pistons fan. Back then, this was the place to be.
People went straight to Chicago stadium after work .. forget the kids , I'm not changing , just a full out party.
Those were the good old days. When competition was real and intros gave you the chills while pumping you up all at the same time.
I'm a Spurs fan but l gotta admit the Bulls got the BEST starting lineup theme music along with the titantron
R.I.P Kevin Duckworth
RIP Jerome Kersey
And RIP Kevin Duckworth
I used to have a crush on Phil Jackson😻😻😻.... I thought he was very cute!!! Especially when he shaves
Always liked Horace!! He was the lunch pail kid!!!
@@endenhaden7636 seriously damn
RIP Cliff Robinson
this is why we all had our own intros...when playing ball in our backyards as kids.
The Bulls had the best intro music of all time. Watching these intros are better than watching a full game these days.
What a wonderful memory of that time when I learned to love the Chicago Bulls here in Brazil at the age of 16 and all these players! What an unforgettable presentation!
Phil Jackson is wearing the most early 1990's necktie ever.
How did you get such good quality for 23 year old footage?
BRazor92 fracmento remove the DVD (Ultimate Jordan) who brought that game and use a program to raise the resolution a bit, good thing you like, thanks to comment.
Santiago73 can you upload the whole game of 1998 game 6 finals ? thanks
people don't realise just cause most old nba footage in the internet is like 240p doesn't mean it was broadcasted in 240p
Santiago73 I think all old Bulls full games resolution should be raised. That be epic.

I remember witnessing this actual intro on TV. I was 12 years old and I have been an NBA fan ever since.
Gives me goosebumps everytime I see this
I still get chills, the best intro of all time they’re missing the music though

2:02 - C'mon, Scottie! Show Benny the Bull some love!
he was too focused lol
Pax was such cutey😍😍😍😍
This song always brings a smile to my face. It was a pure joy watching my favorite teams intro.
My God, the arena DJ's back then knew epic music. Playing Pink Floyd and of course Sirius by Alan Parsons.
Tommy Edwards (the Bulls PA announcer from 1975-90 and 2006-present) is the man responsible for that
Can anyone tell me the songs they were playing?
avyeris The visiting intro was “On the Run.” Pink Floyd. The Bulls intro is “Eye in the sky.” The Alan Parsons Project.
Jon Bruner It was Sirius by the Alan Parsons Project, not Eye in the Sky. But Sirius leads onto Eye In The Sky which I’m pretty sure was the jumpball song for the 90s Bulls.
After all these years it's just struck me that the opposing team intro music is Pink Floyd
I remember seeing this intro live on TV in 1992. I was 12 years old at the time. To this day in 2023 (and beyond), it is the most awesome sports team intro.
The atmosphere is so beautiful when the announcer starts to call out Chicago Bulls basket team players and the head coach
You can't help but be hyped from the Bulls intros!
Is it just me or was THIS SO COOL that non-Bulls fans didn't hate it, we just wish our team did it first?
It’s not just you. As a west coast native I rooted against the Bulls for the whole damn decade and every time I heard this song I would think “These guys are too awesome to lose.”

Greatest and most epic team intro I ever saw and I say this as being never a Bulls fan.
The good ol days
Lol my heart is pounding right now watching this just like it did all those years ago watching the games live.
What a time to be alive!!!!
Still miss the old 90 Bulls in 2024.
favorite blazers team ever
Crazy big pop for Jordan. My speakers almost blew. What a time to be alive.
Portland (being introduced):
Portland (after being introduced): Why do I hear boss music?
It's called on the run by Pink Floyd they always played it for the visitor starting line ups
@@briancalifornia1 It’s a joke lol. I’m familiar with the music. I was referring to the Bulls intro music, Alan Parsons Project’s ‘Sirius’, as being intimidating to visiting teams. In this case, the Blazers.
Greatest starting lineups EVER... end of story!
I can watch these intros all day long :D
I always liked the opposing teams intro with Pink Floyd going into Sirius.
It’s amazing how much more enthusiastic Ray got with the little prelude later on
Rick Adelman sitting on the Portland bench like fuck it I know what’s coming
Goat and the best nba ever 80-90 💯
With such a dope intro, no wonder Mike scored 35 in the first half.
3 pointers baby!
Ποιο ειναι το τραγούδι στο 1:18
Back in the day when the game would be over before it even started! Miss these Bulls!!!
The best introduction I miss these days dam the bulls haven't been the same since
Wow.....this just took me back. I was 15 years old and I remember the excitement I would have getting ready to watch a Bulls playoff game. It was a honor to watch Mike and Scottie during their prime........even though I was the only Bulls fan in New York City at the time!
Footage is amazing!!!!!!
And your Chicago bulls man miss the 90s bulls what a time
I' m not a Bulls fan, but this intro was epic. I even have this exact intro taped on VHS (too bad I no longer have a VCR!)
still get goosebumps....
best time to be alive. there is only one and there will never be another michael jordan
Goosebumps Growing up Chicago U see it Every Home Game and it still gave u Chills UNBELIEVABLE
"It was over when bulls music hit" Besides, some guy would hit 6 three pointers and have 35 points at halftime. He also did the infamous SHRUG. This all would take place 1 hour into the game!! Damn, what was his name???? I know his tongue hangs out......
Michaellll Joorrrddaaaannnnn
@@RVSMX I was never a bulls fan (except for jordan) but I would literally turn on WGN in the early 90s at 8 or 830 just to catch the intro lol
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Simplemente espectacular Chicago Bulls 90-98
As much as I love the United Center... Chicago stadium was just magical!! Fun fact the bull that was Center Court is Michael Jordan's floor in his trophy room now
The best player introductions. EVER !!!!
You cry from even watching it on TH-cam, I can’t fucking imagine what could’ve been to be there and hear those words live…
From the intro alone, you're already down by 10 points.
If i was the starting shooting guard for the blazers that night i would of announced my retirement right after the bulls introduction.
The Madhouse. Loudest arena of all time
When the lights go out and the music starts playing you know it’s gonna be a long night if you supported the opposite team
Seem like arenas got darker back then when lights went out. Adds to the excitement.
Those blazers jumpsuits are dope.
This one was the hardest team to beat in all finals the Bulls played in. Trailbazers had shooters including Danny Ainge. Porter and Drexler alone was problems. I believe that year they started 30+-O or something like that.
take me back to 1992 as a 5 yr old watching this all over again
Bro this shit is honestly petrifying. Hearing that song would make me lose my mind
It's nice to see that the Alan Parsons project made a song into the theme for the bulls!
Growing up watching every Bulls game on WGN was awesome! That’s why I’m now a Bulls and Cubs fan
A totally 90s gorgeous baby behind Phil
Eso era como ver un artista de rock..
I love how they use Pink Floyd’s “On the run” for the visiting teams.
Had to be one heck of an honor to call out Jordan's name in intros. With no Dad Jordan was what we looked up to because we knew he'd deliver but was my Idol
I miss this so much
This is thebest introduction
Rip Jerome... 4real
I wanted portland for this game drexler deserved it
2019 still goosebumps.
Rip Kevin Duckworth, Jerome Kersey & Cliff Robinson
1:14 Once that intro was on speakers, you were screwed.....
The great Ray Klay the Bulls Public Address Announcer
Biiiill Caaarrtwright!
Wow, in 1992, I was 3!
This intro is so much better than the intro today. Current announcer.. your fired!!
This is awesome
I like how pretty much every Bulls player and guys around their bench all chew gum.
Probably Wrigley gum! ;)
Ray Clay... The true goat
Portland had a monster team back then, at each of the five positions. And still Chicago obliterated them. Magic.
Those jumpsuits are amazing
Great footage. Looks HD even
As someone who doesn't care deeply about sports. Being in the United center during a few bulls intros you can't not get hype af
I had just turned 21 and was finally able to watch this game at a bar (Cubbie Bear on Clark) !!!!
R.I.P Jerome Kersey, Kevin Duckworth and Cliff Robinson
Benny the Bull hehe ❣️
