19 Best Intros In Sports Video Games History
16. NBA 2K1
The fictional commentary duo of Bob Steele and Rod West is responsible for putting the video on this list. While impressive and cool to look at in its on right, as it's combining NBA legends with the new generation of superstars, the video does nothing that has not been done before.
The circle around the ball is a neat idea, so is the pause when Vince Carter is in mid-air, but what's really new is that "Bob Steele" and "Rod West" provided some real-life commentary for the intro, showing what can be expected from them during the game. While they are a little stiff, it's the commentators that are the main innovation in this clip.
