I was at my grandparents' house when this game was playing. I was 9 years old, starting to become a Spurs fan, because I wanna be just like my grandfather. As we watch, he was worried. But when we saw that miracle shot he jumped off the couch and picked me up despite his age. After that game we drank Coca Cola and he would tell me stories about the beginning of the Spurs, the time of the George Gervin era.
If you want to pick out one shot that started the Spur Dynasty, this is it. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this clip. The loudness of the fans on this one play is the loudest I've ever heard. Of course they won the title that year and another four times since. But I keep going back to watch where it all really began.
Terence Vrieze what I remember most is this: I said to myself that the spurs never ever get miracle plays to work for them and that needs to change. then he hit the shot
+Terence Vrieze That was a hell of a shot! I'm not a Spurs fan but that doesn't keep me from appreciating such a moment. I watched that game live and it was such an emotional one too. The voice.."into Sean Elliot...he fires a three...and hits it! brings back memories on what it feels like to love the game of basketball.
+Terence Vrieze I agree. That's what I always tell people. Sean Elliott turned the Spurs around. I was at this game, and the Spurs trailed the whole time. I don't know if anyone who was there remembers this. During the time-out, they showed a clip of Rocky when Adrianne tells Rocky, "There's one thing I want you to do. WIN." When time-out was over, you could still hear the Rocky song playing in the background. Then Sean Elliott hit that 3...Oh Momma!
@@aquafina2u the crazy thing is this is when he was really sick and needed a kidney transplant. That is why he became my favorite player of all time. I actually became a spurs fan and a basketball fan that year. I remember I was visiting Texas near San Antonio and basketball was on and I started watching and I watched them sweep every team to get to the finals and I fell in love with the game and this team!!!
Heckled all game long. I told them the Spurs will come back to win this game. Even when they were down by 18 pts. After the win I was yelling and screaming for 10 minutes afterwards. This was the shot that made ALL Spurs fans believe that GREAT times were ahead ! 5 Rings ! Awesome!!
As a Blazer fan, you just marvel at the Spurs. Such a classy, well run organization. What a joy it must be to be a Spurs fan. Not only do they win, but they do it with likable guys. How do you hate TD, Parker, Manu, or even Elliot? You can't. They're too nice. #muchrespect
I was so happy for David Robinson.. All the heartbreaking losses where erased that day... That was the day a small franchise began to build a dynasty. So beautiful!
God rest her soul, my grandma said after that shot "the spurs dynasty has just begun" I looked at her and said, "granny I love the spurs too but this isn't even the finals yet" after they won she told me to stfu lol
Hey remember Spurs fans, before the series began Damon Stoudamire before he joined the Blazers said that Avery Johnson and Spurs will never win a NBA Championship. He refused to retract his statements before the series but in the end the Blazers would never win a championship with Stoudamire as the PG which includes the meltdown next year in GM 7 against the Lakers.
I went to this game when I was a teenager. It was so loud after he hit that shot that you couldn't hear anything. It was even louder after the buzzer. I remember some ppl flipping tables in the hallway on the way out. Everyone was excited. We never had a team like that one before at the time
@@sportsguy86ify IMO I don't see why. This shot broke the back of Portland. They collapsed after this morale crushing loss. This series is much tougher if Portland wins.
I was at Fiesta Texas with my parents. I remember stopping at one of the prize games and the guy working it wasn't even working it. He had what I believe was WOAI on the radio which was doing the broadcast. I remember hearing that he was about to step out of bounds and then BAM drains the 3. Everyone jumped for joy and were giving each other high fives. What a great day. Go Spurs Go!
I remember everyone in the last row of the dome pounding on the walls! This was the best game I ever attended...very loud after the shot. LOVE MY SPURS!
Hell yes. That moment when we recover the ball on the last possession was like a volcano eruption. That was the moment all the fans and I believe even the team realized that we were for real and we could take it all.
I'm not really even a Spurs fan, but that's the best clutch shot I've ever seen. If Elliott lets his heels touch the floor, he's out of bounds. But he regained his balance, tip-toed and drained that 3 over Rasheed Wallace who's 6'11". And the crowd goes fucking nuts. Awesome!! Then as he's running back down court, he's telling the inbounder, Mario Elie, "I told you! I told you!!" as if he knew he was gonna hit it. I STILL get chills watching this clip and I've seen it at least a hundred times(no exaggeration).
I was down at a bar on the river walk and every bar had their doors open and tuned to the same channel. All the bars were packed and when he hit that shot that whole area just exploded it was so loud.
Also: the amazing thing about this was that Sean Elliott was deathly ill when he did this. His kidneys were barely working. Met Sean not long after this, and he was such a kind person. He talked to my 12 year old son for at least 5 minutes, even though he had things to do.
Just watched Secret Base's new Rewinder episode of The Memorial Day Miracle and it was so worth it. It's crazy how this shot caused a butterfly effect for the Spurs to go from obscure NBA franchise with minimal playoff success to champions and then a dynasty. Truly amazing shot and I can't believe Sean Elliott shot that on his tippy toes behind the arc. It sort of reminds me of Ray Allen's shot in Game 6 how he was able to back up behind the 3 point line and just get inside the arc without looking down. Crazy shot and the rest is history 🏆
Adam Martinez Yeah. Alamodome is actually a football stadium that the Spurs used to play in. They just closed part of it off to "turn it into" a basketball arena.
3:01 - 3:14 That line gives me chills every time. Basically sums up how the Spurs struggled to get over the hump before Duncan arrived. And at that moment they had.
I love how Rasheed Wallace has fallen victim to the Spurs not just once but twice. Once at this moment and the other in Game 5 in the 2005 NBA Finals with Robert Horry’s three pointer
My sister-in-law and I were watching the game at our husbands' parent's house, holding hands and chanting GO SPURS GO! I swear we yelled as loud as anyone in the Dome when Sean Elliot hit that 3-pointer; our husbands came running to see what had happened. The whole city knew that nothing was going to stop our Spurs that year.
My husband and I were at his parents house for a Memorial Day family dinner. He and his brothers were out of the room, my sister-in-law and I were watching the game, holding hands and yelling at the TV. My S-I-L was worried, but I had a feeling and kept saying "It's not over yet." When Sean hit this shot, we jumped and screamed and hugged, and our husbands came running in to see what was wrong. Best single Spurs moment ever. GO SPURS GO!!!
The quality is beautiful! Thank you! I was driving back to McAllen and listening to this on the radio. Cars were weaving and nearly crashing all over 281 when Elliott made this basket. We were getting out of cars and jumping, dancing, hugging people. It was absolutely incredible.

Sean Elliott got off balance when he got the pass . A defender was in front of him and he was afraid to step on the line behind him, but he made it. And it was the game and the playoffs that depended on this shot. I remember that game well. Sean's shot later translated to a champioship win.
there will never be another team spurs team like....David Robinson SeanElliot Avery Johnson Rod Strickland Terry Cummings..My Dream Team....Timothy Don jr ..San Antonio Texas.
If I remember the story, Pop drew up the plan for Robinson to shoot the ball but after the time-out Sean told Elie "Just give me the ball, I will make it." That's why after he made it, you can see Sean point to Elie and say "I TOLD YOU!"
Even if he was a lieutenant for David Robinson, or Tim Duncan, Sean Eliott was a great player, one of my favourites at this time. He was handsome, smart in his play, tough in defence, accurate in his shot, so a real beautiful player.
This is when I became a Spurs fan and more importantly a Sean Elliott fan. He’s my favorite of all time and then to find out he was sick made me admire him even more.
being a hardcore spurs fan. I remembered this game as Sean Elliot told Mario Ellie pointing with the finger I got one more three left in me as I was 18 or 19 years younger as I've became a spurs fan when they was losing in 1991-1992 NBA season when tark the shark was coach as I moved from San Jose California to Tracy California that year during this playoffs series!!!!
The Blazers had a bunch of guys playing hero ball. What kind of play was that with 9 seconds to go. If you can't get the ball to Rasheed Wallace you deserved to lose.
I just saw the HOF 60days of Summer special with Sean..and he said there, that he couldn`t even remember Wallace flying at him. He just saw the basket and made the shot! I always amazes me how players can be in such a zone that they hardly notice anything around them..
Kerr, Elliot, Ellie, Duncan, and Robinson, wow, what a set of player's to have on the floor at a moment like this. This was back when the Spurs were their most amazing during their era..
I was at this game. If anyone remembers the video playing on the jumbo-tron during the commercial break, it was a clip from Rocky II. The clip where Rocky is talking to Adrianne on the hospital bed and she says, there’s one thing I want you to do for me, Win, and then the fight music plays out and that scene pumped up the crowd while “Get Loud” was strobing just after that movie scene. It got the crowd crazy pumped. And Then Sean busted that 3 and nearly tumbled down to the next row from all my jumping. Good times!!
I was in the dome that day, it was the most incredible sound i have ever heard in my life. It was like the entire city was being exorcised. We were a playoff punchline in those times, we never could finish the deal and when we were down 18, it felt like one more collapse. Until Sean bailed us out and began our dynasty. GO SPURS GO
Portland is always a victim of opposing team's comebacks: G6 1992 NBA Finals - they were up 15 points going to the 4th against Chicago and lost the game 97-93 and the Bulls winning their 2nd straight NBA championship G2 1999 WCF Finals - dominated the entire game until Sean Elliott of the San Antonio Spurs hit his 22nd point of the game via a game winning three pointer which dubbed as the "Memorial Day Miracle" and the Blazers lost 86-85 G7 2000 WCF Finals - led the whole game and leading 15+ points coming into the 4th until Kobe and Shaq joined hands to rally and defeat the Blazers via a 89-84 count LOL
The shot that began the Spurs dynasty, 1998-2016? At least 55 wins in 14 of those 19 seasons 19 straight playoff seasons 13 Division titles 10 Western Conference Finals Appearances (6-4) 6 NBA Finals Appearances (5-1) 5 NBA titles
It's 2024, and 25 years ago on this very Memorial Day, Mr. Sean Elliott sparked a glorious and miraculous win that began the Spurs' dynasty erasing all of the heartbreaking losses Mr. Robinson and company endured many seasons before. Despite it being a shortened season due to the lock-out, it was a well-deserved win against the tough Blazers and continued playoff run setting things up for the first ABA team to win a championship. Go Spurs Go!!
I was at my grandparents' house when this game was playing. I was 9 years old, starting to become a Spurs fan, because I wanna be just like my grandfather. As we watch, he was worried. But when we saw that miracle shot he jumped off the couch and picked me up despite his age. After that game we drank Coca Cola and he would tell me stories about the beginning of the Spurs, the time of the George Gervin era.
Great memories brother
my first apartment..everybody came out of their units and were screaming and what not. it's was insane!
Good story, thanks for sharing. Those sports memories we make when we're young are the ones that feel most powerful later on in life.
that's awesome bro
Bill Goode Amen brother

***** Not when you a Spurs fan
***** i love bruce haha
We have respect for u too
MrNotoriousKEV it was a lot of fun!
Right!??? Stephen Jackson, Rod Strickland, Vernon Maxwell!! Jk.... love my Spurs!!!!!
I was so happy for David Robinson.. All the heartbreaking losses where erased that day... That was the day a small franchise began to build a dynasty. So beautiful!
This shot changed everything for San Antonio, they never were able to win games like this, until Elliot hit that sick shot.
The call by Costas at 1:33 still gives me chills. What a glorious moment for all us Spurs fans! GO SPURS GO!!!!!
I like when Doug Collins goes "WHAT A SHOT!"
fuck ya
God rest her soul, my grandma said after that shot "the spurs dynasty has just begun" I looked at her and said, "granny I love the spurs too but this isn't even the finals yet" after they won she told me to stfu lol
Legendary shot baby, the beginning of a dynasty ..The Memorial Day Miracle. GO SPURS GO

He refused to retract his statements before the series but in the end the Blazers would never win a championship with Stoudamire as the PG which includes the meltdown next year in GM 7 against the Lakers.
oh we remember...but in true San Antonio style we just let our RINGS speak for us 💎💎💎💎💎
He also stated another Point Guard as well, I forgot who else he said. This fool ain't his owned words. LoL 🤣
I went to this game when I was a teenager. It was so loud after he hit that shot that you couldn't hear anything. It was even louder after the buzzer. I remember some ppl flipping tables in the hallway on the way out. Everyone was excited. We never had a team like that one before at the time
This is my go to feel good video. Still remember it like it was yesterday.
Let's not overlook the other great play by Elliott--the block with 4 seconds left.
The most underrated shot in the history of the NBA. It vaulted San Antonio into being the co-dynasty along with the Lakers for the 21st century
R.I.P. Jerome Kersey!!!!! (At 1:44-1:48)
Rick Steck Yup...Indeed. Most Notable For His Days In Portland.
ChrisJWattsTV Indeed, as I've watch him, when he played for the players. Such a great player, with a great attitude.
Glad he got to enjoy a chip after a lengthy NBA career and beforehand his passing..
I thought that was big dog Glenn Robinson at first
I was 9 years old and I was fortunate enough to bet at this game with my dad. Words cannot convey the emotion in the Alamodome that day.
Loud-louder-loudest!
That Alamodome got LOUD!!! I miss that deafening sound!
Alee Saldana I was there too. And 15 at the time
DorianMariusGray It's because the Alamodome is so cavernous. The basketball capacity was up to 39,500 so of course it was going to be loud.
I was like 22 or 23 watching it, I was so happy the spurs won, as I'm a 1991-1992 spurs fan.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Happy birthday Sean Elliott, great broadcaster and player
I miss Sean and Tim Legler together on post game shows. Great duo
I watched this on TV live and after 22 years I still remembered this miracle ❤️ I love spurs and missed them all
The Spurs swept the Blazers in that series. Yep, 4-0.
You see if Wallace can take a shot
that kinda takes a little bit away from this shot
@@sportsguy86ify IMO I don't see why. This shot broke the back of Portland. They collapsed after this morale crushing loss. This series is much tougher if Portland wins.
And never to be heard of again!
I was at Fiesta Texas with my parents. I remember stopping at one of the prize games and the guy working it wasn't even working it. He had what I believe was WOAI on the radio which was doing the broadcast. I remember hearing that he was about to step out of bounds and then BAM drains the 3.

Can you imagine having a sideline seat where he made that 3.
Jordan Rios lol...you see the guy? He gets up, out of his seat, runs about 10 feet to the left to see the shot go in!
The dynasty begins....go spurs go
I'm not really even a Spurs fan, but that's the best clutch shot I've ever seen. If Elliott lets his heels touch the floor, he's out of bounds.

I STILL get chills watching this clip and I've seen it at least a hundred times(no exaggeration).
I miss the NBA on NBC.
NBA on NBC returns 2025-26
Still has to be the single biggest shot in Spurs history, love you Sean!
I was down at a bar on the river walk and every bar had their doors open and tuned to the same channel. All the bars were packed and when he hit that shot that whole area just exploded it was so loud.
Holy cow a tipped toe 3 pointer
All the dislikes- blazer fans
Also: the amazing thing about this was that Sean Elliott was deathly ill when he did this. His kidneys were barely working.
Met Sean not long after this, and he was such a kind person. He talked to my 12 year old son for at least 5 minutes, even though he had things to do.
Sean Elliott is a beast, Spurs Nation, Go spurs go, San Antonio is my home

and with only 1/2 a kidney.
Was young still remember this tho, shots like that just don't happen
Who’s here after the wizards/76ers game !
DYNASTY BITCHES
LMFAO. I love it.
15 year anniversary. Congratulations Sean! I still get goosebumps watching this!
I do too!
25th anniversary now
Just to give you an idea of how loud it was in the dome....over 40,000 people were at that game. It would have been freaking loud!
40K, wow! I didn't know that, must be a record for an NBA game. AT&T Center today capacity is definitely under 20K.
MrJayra210 18,000 to be exact.
MrJayra210 they played in a dome during those days.
Adam Martinez Yeah. Alamodome is actually a football stadium that the Spurs used to play in. They just closed part of it off to "turn it into" a basketball arena.
Yeah I know I live there..
3:01 - 3:14 That line gives me chills every time. Basically sums up how the Spurs struggled to get over the hump before Duncan arrived. And at that moment they had.
Grant hill brought me back here in 2021
I love how Rasheed Wallace has fallen victim to the Spurs not just once but twice. Once at this moment
and the other in Game 5 in the 2005 NBA Finals with Robert Horry’s three pointer
I watch this video every year 😍😍😍
forever a spurs legend and classy individual
Good memories. I didn’t remember Sean also had the key block on the other end too.
RIP Jerome Kersey
+Ismail Shokeye I'm glad Jerome won a championship with the Spurs. RIP Mr. Kersey.
The cleanest highu jump
Lembro desse dia como se fosse hoje, grande jogo!!!
He just made a red release im schleep cuh
My sister-in-law and I were watching the game at our husbands' parent's house, holding hands and chanting GO SPURS GO! I swear we yelled as loud as anyone in the Dome when Sean Elliot hit that 3-pointer; our husbands came running to see what had happened. The whole city knew that nothing was going to stop our Spurs that year.
Texas3Step Didn't know you two had the same husband. LoL 🤣
Jail Blazers choking as usual
Fail Blazers is another I have heard.
I was at this game I told my brother Sean needs to step up and he did best spurs game I have ever been too hands down it was so loud
My husband and I were at his parents house for a Memorial Day family dinner. He and his brothers were out of the room, my sister-in-law and I were watching the game, holding hands and yelling at the TV. My S-I-L was worried, but I had a feeling and kept saying "It's not over yet." When Sean hit this shot, we jumped and screamed and hugged, and our husbands came running in to see what was wrong. Best single Spurs moment ever. GO SPURS GO!!!
All things considered, this was the day the Spurs dynasty was born. Portland was broke after this loss and New York realistically had no shot.
The quality is beautiful! Thank you!
I was driving back to McAllen and listening to this on the radio. Cars were weaving and nearly crashing all over 281 when Elliott made this basket. We were getting out of cars and jumping, dancing, hugging people. It was absolutely incredible.

Sean Elliott got off balance when he got the pass .
A defender was in front of him and he was afraid to step on the line behind him, but he made it.
And it was the game and the playoffs that depended on this shot.
I remember that game well.
Sean's shot later translated to a champioship win.
4:45 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Spurs crowd that excited like any other time than this.
That shot made everyone BELIEVE. Sometimes, you just gotta BELIEVE! Spurs Nation finally said, "Why NOT us?!" Go Spurs.
I was 14 yo and this was the greatest Spurs moment of my life
Watched this game with my grandparents. It was amazing.
All the comments here are years old but people forget how great the the Scottie Pippen Blazers were. Pippen should definitely have a ring minus Jordan
These old clips makes me miss NBA on NBC's Roundball Rock theme.
there will never be another team spurs team like....David Robinson SeanElliot Avery Johnson Rod Strickland Terry Cummings..My Dream Team....Timothy Don jr ..San Antonio Texas.
Tim Don Fuck Rod Strickland.
If I remember the story, Pop drew up the plan for Robinson to shoot the ball but after the time-out Sean told Elie "Just give me the ball, I will make it." That's why after he made it, you can see Sean point to Elie and say "I TOLD YOU!"
Even if he was a lieutenant for David Robinson, or Tim Duncan, Sean Eliott was a great player, one of my favourites at this time. He was handsome, smart in his play, tough in defence, accurate in his shot, so a real beautiful player.
After coming back from his sickness Elliot is legend.
I miss NBC broadcasting of the NBA playoffs.
I was in the crowd. It was like a shot gun went off. It was so freaking loud. I think we screamed with everything we had.
Legend has it Damon Stoudamire still has that same expression on his face to this day.
"San Antonio's only lead is the final score!!" Bob Costas
That pretty much told the entire story
the two best ruby snipes in nba 2k17 against eachother I bet nobody will get that 😅
This is when I became a Spurs fan and more importantly a Sean Elliott fan. He’s my favorite of all time and then to find out he was sick made me admire him even more.
This shot crushed my soul but you cavy do anything but shake his hand. One of greatest shots ever that never get talked about
Taco Cabana!!
When it was good.😎
being a hardcore spurs fan. I remembered this game as Sean Elliot told Mario Ellie pointing with the finger I got one more three left in me as I was 18 or 19 years younger as I've became a spurs fan when they was losing in 1991-1992 NBA season when tark the shark was coach as I moved from San Jose California to Tracy California that year during this playoffs series!!!!
Still one of my favorite plays of all time. GO SPURS GO!!!
Who's here after what happened to Westbrook in game 1 vs sixers? Lol
I was in Lima, Peru, it was the shot heard around the world
Hey Rasheed....BALL DON'T LIE !!!
The Blazers had a bunch of guys playing hero ball. What kind of play was that with 9 seconds to go. If you can't get the ball to Rasheed Wallace you deserved to lose.
Here we are 17 years later and it's more or less what the NBA has degenerated to >_>
It's been 15 years! Still can feel that, what a game, what a goal! #GoSpursGo I am so PROUD of you! We are BACK TO BACK champions!!!!!!!
Watching this clip never gets old.
I just saw the HOF 60days of Summer special with Sean..and he said there, that he couldn`t even remember Wallace flying at him. He just saw the basket and made the shot! I always amazes me how players can be in such a zone that they hardly notice anything around them..
The year Portland had it but clutch shot
I spiked a 12-pack of Moosehead on my buddy's living room floor when that shot fell!! Ah, the memories, lol.
you my friend are a real Spurs fan!
Since the days of Uwe Blab!!! Lol.
This still doesn't top ray allens shot in the 2013 finals :(
this never gets old......
Louie Nona NEVER! LOL!!
NEVER!!!
If this was the finals this shot would beat our ray Allen's 3 shot because man he almost fell out of bounds
Real shooter
That's the main reason why i am a spurs fan, until now.
Kerr, Elliot, Ellie, Duncan, and Robinson, wow, what a set of player's to have on the floor at a moment like this. This was back when the Spurs were their most amazing during their era..
I thought the roof would pop off cause of the scearmes of the crowd at the game
Better than the ray Allen shot easily
It’s good!! It’s all GOOD!
I was at this game. If anyone remembers the video playing on the jumbo-tron during the commercial break, it was a clip from Rocky II. The clip where Rocky is talking to Adrianne on the hospital bed and she says, there’s one thing I want you to do for me, Win, and then the fight music plays out and that scene pumped up the crowd while “Get Loud” was strobing just after that movie scene. It got the crowd crazy pumped. And Then Sean busted that 3 and nearly tumbled down to the next row from all my jumping. Good times!!
bro in the sideline
If it wasn’t for that shot I wouldn’t have Tim’s first championship Jersey
One look at Brian Grant after the shot went in says it all for me because the blazers were a cocky team who needed to be humbled. Priceless!!
I was in the dome that day, it was the most incredible sound i have ever heard in my life. It was like the entire city was being exorcised. We were a playoff punchline in those times, we never could finish the deal and when we were down 18, it felt like one more collapse. Until Sean bailed us out and began our dynasty. GO SPURS GO
Who’s here in 2020 looking for something positive to watch lol GSG man this clip never gets old
Portland is always a victim of opposing team's comebacks:
G6 1992 NBA Finals - they were up 15 points going to the 4th against Chicago and lost the game 97-93 and the Bulls winning their 2nd straight NBA championship
G2 1999 WCF Finals - dominated the entire game until Sean Elliott of the San Antonio Spurs hit his 22nd point of the game via a game winning three pointer which dubbed as the "Memorial Day Miracle" and the Blazers lost 86-85
G7 2000 WCF Finals - led the whole game and leading 15+ points coming into the 4th until Kobe and Shaq joined hands to rally and defeat the Blazers via a 89-84 count
LOL
The shot that began the Spurs dynasty, 1998-2016?
At least 55 wins in 14 of those 19 seasons
19 straight playoff seasons
13 Division titles
10 Western Conference Finals Appearances (6-4)
6 NBA Finals Appearances (5-1)
5 NBA titles
It's 2024, and 25 years ago on this very Memorial Day, Mr. Sean Elliott sparked a glorious and miraculous win that began the Spurs' dynasty erasing all of the heartbreaking losses Mr. Robinson and company endured many seasons before. Despite it being a shortened season due to the lock-out, it was a well-deserved win against the tough Blazers and continued playoff run setting things up for the first ABA team to win a championship. Go Spurs Go!!
