The pre-game show for NBC's NBA telecasts was "NBA Showtime", a title that was used from 1990 until 2000, with the pre-game being unbranded afterward. "Showtime" was originally hosted by Bob Costas from the inaugural season of the 1990 contract to the 1995–96 season; Hannah Storm took over as host beginning with the 1996–97 season, who in turn was replaced by Ahmad Rashād in 2001 when Storm went on maternity leave. The video game "NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC", by Midway Games, was named after the pregame show.
