I think it is the Cavs

Cleveland's is amazing! Then again I haven't seen any others....

wildcats20

I was gonna say the same thing hangonsloopy...

The Cavs is awesome.

That is pretty cool. I need to check out a game.

wildcats20

The flames are ridiculously hot, it's pretty insane.

karen lotz

yeah that does seem like a lot of pyros

The intros on the 80s throwback nights are pretty good also. The Cavs gameday entertainment crew definitely gets creative with the whole production. I haven't seen many others from around the NBA either, so it's hard to say where they rank overall, but I'd have to assume they're among the best.

wildcats20

Hands down the best ever....

I agree, hated the Bulls (although I was a huge Jordan fan), but loved that song/intro.

The Pistons intro back in the day with the Final Countdown was pretty legit too. Not sure if they still use it but with the bad boys teams it was awesome

I was looking for the one with the whole intro. The Bull running through downtown Chicago but I couldn't find one right away and I gave up lol

Always loved the Bulls intro.

The video and music were great, but Ray Clay made it completely awesome.

Ray Clay, is that the PA announcer?

The Cavs have been voted as having the best "pregame intro" the previous 3 years.. I saw it in one of their pregame programs last postseason when I went to one of the playoff games...

They'll probably win it again this year.

I consider myself sort of obsessed with intros, I think they should be implemented into every sport, even golf. That being said, I have my opinions as to the best intros. I'm not huge on this year's because I think "My Time" was kind of played out even before they started using it. I loooove the use of "Blueprint" when they're actually introducing. I think the 3 best intros the Cavs have had are:

-My absolute favorite. Just perfectly put together. Love the transition into "U Don't Know," just amazing.

-Poor quality but you get the point, Numb/Encore just seemed to go perfectly with the Joe Tait clips and the buildup to LeBron being introduced was just fantastic.

Got a little old after a while but can't deny this wasn't amazing

I would include when they used "Second Coming" during the '07 playoffs but since about every team in both college and pro seems to have used it now it's a little watered down. Also, last year's playoff intros were pretty weak, the use of Nas' "Hero" was pretty good but the buildup to it wasn't that good.

And even though I absolutely hate everyone involved and it just makes me hate them more, I can't deny that the '08 Celtics intros weren't pretty aweswome:
