B-B-B-B-B-Basketball!!! While that Roundball Rock theme song hits the ears of NBA fans this year like fine wine, what made the original NBA on NBC such a memorable time other than Michael Jordan and the John Tesh theme? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, have quite a few reasons to discuss in this countdown episode reminiscing about some great Association moments on the Peacock between 1990 and 2002. In part one, we go from 20 to 11, and let's see how many times M.J. does NOT make the list (You might wind up being surprised!). Was the 1999 lockout-shortened, scoring-depleted season sneakily one of the most memorable post seasons in NBA history? How much did the Knicks and Heat REALLY hate each other? How many times did Charles Smith get that shot blocked? What was Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson's greatest moments on NBC? We discuss all this and much more in Part 1! So suit up your retro unis and take it out with THE NBA-Team!

In the sixty-third episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Jeremy Nichols, James Gruenberg, and Mirandia Berthold to discuss which Nintendo 64 Games deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Super Mario 64 a no-brainer? What about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time? Does WWF No Mercy grab a spot? Does Mario Kart 64 and Wave Race deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which PlayStation 1 Games will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Crash Bandicoot shouldn’t get a spot? Will Jackie Chan's Stuntmaster be included? Is PaRappa the Rapper in the conversation? What about Grand Turismo or WWF Smackdown 2: Know Your Role?
