The Pistons also have a great one - excellent announcer and some great themes - "Let's go to work", the whole blue collar thing, the bells playing for Ben Wallace (when he was there).

B-B-B-Billups!

Im a Detroit support and Detroits is easily better. Announcer is wicked. B-B-Billups and Detroit "lets play some basketball". Would Detroit practice that during the week??.

Love it How Bi Ben smashes the Milwaukee logo... just awesome

That bulls one still gives me chills. Would be awesome to see something like that at the dome.

Wow...
agreed Kent, hard to pick number 1 there...
I hate the Pistons, but they put on a hell of a show!!
Harper nearly gets as big a cheer as MJ on the Bulls one.

Whenever the Sixers have tried doing the whole lights out, big drama type player intros it has come across to me as being incredibly lame and amateur. It doesn't help that they do it about half an hour or so before tip off, so the building is only ¼ full if that.

I wish they would go back to doing the simple, straightforward player intros just before tip off, have the national attention and then right into the game. To me that built a more intense atmosphere than having spot lights, fake smoke and 200 people in the stands.

Tell me you don't think the bulls intro is beating then the Pistons.

So why is Paul Bauer being flown to the USA to get tips on how the NBA do their intro's etc? When the all the info or the pinnacle of how it should be done is on you tube!!! Sixers must have a heap of extra cash to afford those 'info sessions'!

Also agreed, the players are introduced waaaaaay to early, when no one is seated. Do the player warmups, then with about 2 minutes left, lights off and let the 'drama' begin...that will get the crowd going...and coming back each week!!

One of the main reasons that the introductions were done so early was because the lights at the dome took from when the intros finished unitl just before tip off to get back to their full lighting capacity.

Well Mal, get onto some new lighting that regenerates quickly...because when done correctly, that is one heck of a impressive display!

I never knew Ben Wallace was "bi" #518. I wonder if he knows that for himself also.... I wonder what Tim Hardawy thinks about that comment

Intros like that only work when the team is awesome, ala Jordan era Bulls. Pretty sure Bulls kept that same intro running right through all those years they sucked after Jordan left, not as cool then.

I didn't realise Rip Hamilton was 6-7, I always thought he was about 6-3, that's ridiculous! Checked out his stats (mainly to confirm his height) and this year in the playoffs he's a model of consistency, first round 18.3 ppg, second round 18.3ppg, third round 18.5ppg, career average 17.9ppg.

Billo, I thought the same thing re Rip after seeing video of the Pistons intro a year or so ago. Also agree re intros only working for a big team.

Quite honestly I think the Bulls inro shits all over the Pistons one. Bulls have much better music and announcer! I reckon old Bulls announcer was the best of all time.

Agreed Nick.
Pity he got shafted by them for introducing MJ in the same way when he played for the Wizards against the Bulls.
Management called for his head...prob that tool Krause!
