John Tesh Set to Ignite NBA All-Star Game with Live ‘Roundball Rock’ Performance—What Surprises Await Fans?
As the NBA All-Star weekend gears up to light up Inglewood, there’s a fresh twist that’s got me genuinely excited — John Tesh himself is set to perform “Roundball Rock” live for the very first time inside a sports arena. It’s not just any tune; this iconic anthem heralds the return of the NBA All-Star Game to NBC after a 24-year hiatus, marking a nostalgic yet electrifying chapter for basketball fans old and new. Alongside Tesh’s groundbreaking performance, the festivities will sparkle with Grammy winners like Ludacris, Brandy, and Sarah McLachlan lending their voices to the dunk contest and the national anthems — a weekend packed with rhythms and rim-rattling action that you won’t want to miss. Trust me, this blend of live music and basketball heritage paints a vibrant backdrop for what’s shaping up to be an unforgettable celebration.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Coming to this weekend’s NBA All-Star Game: John Tesh and “Roundball Rock,” being performed live.
Tesh will play the song to introduce Sunday’s All-Star Game, which will be aired on NBC and Peacock, the NBA said Wednesday while unveiling the musical performances for the weekend.
Ludacris, the three-time Grammy winner, will be the headliner and perform on Saturday before the All-Star dunk contest. A pair of Grammy winners — Brandy and Sarah McLachlan — will perform the U.S. and Canadian national anthems before Sunday’s All-Star Game.

Tesh will perform for the first time live inside a sports arena, the NBA said. “Roundball Rock,” the league said, “celebrates the NBA All-Star Game’s return to NBC after 24 years.”
The song was the longtime anthem for NBC’s coverage of the NBA from 1990 through 2002. NBC returned to the NBA broadcast lineup this season, the start of a new 11-year broadcast agreement for the league.
