We caught up with John Tesh out in Los Angeles last week ... and he could hardly contain his excitement when talking to us about the song's return to airwaves.

The tune, of course, was a staple of NBC's coverage of the NBA throughout the 1990s ... but when the network lost the rights to broadcast Association games roughly two decades ago, the melody went on hiatus.

Lisa Bloom says the jury verdict in the Diddy sex trafficking trial is a gut punch she hasn't felt since O.J. Simpson was acquitted in his murder trial.

The famed attorney, who represents Diddy's sexual assault accuser Dawn Richard, tells TMZ ... this is one of the most disappointing verdicts for victims of sexual assault since The Juice got off.

Lisa cites the Cassie beating video and says it's hard to see a man caught on video beating and dragging his girlfriend, only to be convicted of relatively minor prostitution charges.
