What do Tom Petty and The Who have to do with the NBA finals?

Dinasaur rockers at the nba finals
In a word… nothing.

The music played throughout ABCs coverage of the 2006 NBA finals is old man classic rocker Tom Petty. The Mavericks are introduced to The Who’s “Eminence Front”. What? Eminence front? Yes siree.

It’s hard to imagine in 2006 that we would be watching a finals game with old dinosaur rockers at the helm. Last time I checked it was 2006. Basketball is all about attitude. It’s about a lifestyle. It’s about tatoos.
Heard any:

Black Eyed Peas…
50cent…
Mike Jones…
Kanye West…

Nope!

Instead it’s good ‘ol boy TOM PETTY and one foot in the grave rockers THE WHO.

Hey ABC, time to make some producer changes at your outdated network. Pay attention to what’s going on in the world cause here comes the newsflash… TOM PETTY and THE WHO signed off in 1982.
