The NBA season kicked off today, and TNT made a great opening montage, fluidly combining current stars with all-time greats. Magic Johnson passes to Kobe for a dunk, Larry Bird hits Ray Allen in transition, and the equally deplorable Tim Duncan and Bill Walton share recipes during a dead ball. It ends with a fist bump from Michael Jordan to current Bulls star Derrick Rose. You’ll want to watch it a few times.
