NBA Showtime is a pre and post game studio show that airs before and after each NBA on NBC telecast. The program, a half-hour in length, aired during NBC's 12-year run of NBA coverage from the 1990–91 season to the 2001–02 season. In 2025, with NBC reacquiring rights to the league, NBC announced that it would revive the NBA Showtime studio show for its coverage; Sunday night editions are instead branded as Basketball Night in America and modeled after its Football Night in America pregame show for NBC Sunday Night Football.[1]

- Hosts
The show was initially hosted by Bob Costas. Costas left in the mid-1990s and became lead play-by-play voice of The NBA on NBC in 1997. Hannah Storm replaced Costas and hosted Showtime until Ahmad Rashad replaced her as host of the pregame show when Storm went on maternity leave in 2001. Storm returned in 2002, which meant that her and Rashad would alternate as hosts throughout the season.
