NBC is bringing back the retro vibes of the '90s for the Sixers vs. Spurs game, and it's an exciting throwback! Sports announcer Bob Costas is back, along with the iconic 'Roundball Rock' and the Sixers' classic black throwback jerseys. This special broadcast is a nod to the '90s, when Michael Jordan and NBC were the undisputed kings of the court. But here's where it gets controversial... NBC is recreating the entire retro feel of its 1995-96 telecast, from the in-game announcers to the on-screen graphics and even the grainy highlights. While it's a fun trip down memory lane, let's hope not everything is a throwback to that era. The Sixers, led by rookie Jerry Stackhouse, had a rough 1995-96 campaign, winning only 18 games. But that allowed them to land lottery pick Allen Iverson, who went on to become a star. Fast forward to today, and the Sixers are facing the Spurs without their star players Paul George and Joel Embiid. Instead, they'll rely on guard Tyrese Maxey, who is putting up impressive numbers this season. If you're tuning in, catch the 'NBA Showtime' hosted by Hannah Storm at 7 pm, followed by the game at 8 pm at the Xfinity Mobile Arena. Tickets start at $48+. So, are you ready to relive the '90s vibes? Let us know in the comments what you think about this throwback broadcast!
