James says "follow my lead" yea, all the way back to Cleveland lol
lol
Lol

Lol
LOL
When I'm feeling sad, I just watch this video and instantly feel good inside. Man, I love my Spurs. 😝
+Nameless Muse I LOVE U MORE
+James Yap 😎
Nameless Muse I mean u are awesome!
+James Yap Thank you! 😎😜
Nameless Muse you are very welcome babe, ;)
When manu dunked on bosh i got chills
That dunk came out of nowhere. 💪🔥
@M No
Everybody does
A perfect way to retire Duncan, unless you want that 6th ring :}
He's got 2 or 3 seasons still left in him. Isn't it incredible how he still averaged 17 & 10 these Finals @ 38 yrs old? He also led the team in hugs. I love Timmy, I hope he never retires, someday he's gonna have too, but man are we so lucky he's still playing & still being on top! 5IVE for Timmy!
Yeah he can go on.
He must be a serious Heat/Lebron fan.
***** He doesn't know the sport of basketball he is one of those people who watches the finals only. ignore him
*****
How were the Spurs lucky this year? Were they lucky enough to go through one of the most difficult Western Conference playoff bracket while the Heat cake walked through a weak East?
I'm a Miami Heat fan and I do feel that Spurs deserved the championship more in this season, congratulations Spurs!
LeBron deserved it more than his team tbh
Iwo Goryca LeBron was amazing in the finals and he deserves it but the spurs just found a way to stop Bosh, Wade and the other stars on the heat team. so the spurs really deserve this title
Iwo Goryca as much as I don't like LeBron I gotta admit he puts up a really good fight. It's good to see him flopping no more. His teammates let him down but he did everything possible to keep them back in. Good effort. If he only admits he flopped and made a mistake and wown't do it again I will not hate him at all.
LeBron was an outstanding player but he can't win it by himself
My hat off to you & the Miami Heat for 4 straight, read it well, 4 straight Finals appearances, they'll never take the 2-peat away from you guys, not many teams have had that privilege or opportunity.
I truly can say that I haven't had so much amazement & emotion for basketball until watching this Spurs team in this series. It was fundamental basketball at its finest, & I think my generation is use to teams such as the Heat. This was a reality check for everybody, fans, coaches, and players. It was refreshing to take in the greatness I just witnessed from this team. I have so much respect for the Spurs and of course Greg Pop. This Finals win was well deserved for them so BRAVO!
People like you are what we need in this world!
Plus, it was a reality check for the NBA itself. The Spurs get the least "spotlight" and attention out of all the NBA teams. No love for this team whatsoever. Every year you hear about Carmelo, LBJ, Rose, Westbrook, Durant, who is the best, who will top MJ someday, who this and that..... No one even mentions the LIVING LEGEND, Tim Duncan, and his crew! The guy has more rings than all those CLOWNS combined.
marry me right now? we can watch basketball together
I just like how we refer to the Spurs as a TEAM, not one player or a big duo or big 3 :)
Very well said!
5:02 Leonard says "Thanks for pushing me" This is why coaches who are hard on players but are loving tough love is the best.
And now Pop was so proud on him for winning the title in Raptors
Yep
if it was Lebron, he's gonna fire Pop for pressuring him.
jefferson cristobal just not true tho is it
Let me get this straight: The Spurs beat the Heat, a team that was put together by questionable means with three top players scheming with Pat Riley years and years ago to only sign to the same team so that they could be together and increase their chances to win championships, but lost to the Spurs, a team that was built through the draft and free agency signings. Man oh man, what the Spurs have done is one of the most impressive in the history of sports and can't be applauded enough! To beat the Heat, a team full hype and favoritism from the refs and the media is truly remarkable indeed!
Brilliant you can see that.
when two top 3 players (in 2010) come together, everyone is going to care. regardless on what everyone says, the 2011 bulls, 2012 celtics, 2013/2014 pacers were all tough opponents for the heat. they made it to the finals 4 years in a row. the spurs yes now have 5 championships but also keep in mind that they had a drought from 2008-2013. miami even beat them once in the span. as far as it goes, it's 1-1. I'm hoping for a rematch next season. miamis trapping defense is very ineffective against the spurs ball movement so now we will see if spo can figure out a way around this.
Grand Wonder
*Dude.* You said ''but lost to the Spurs, a team that was *built through the draft* and *free agency signings.*''
Last time I checked just because your an outrages talent, doesn't mean your not allowed to sign for less money to play with better players. Bosh,Wade,Bron were all free agents in 2010 you know.. and I believe guys like cole and nappier were drafted... so I don't see your point.
***** better story line would be cavs vs spurs part 2
mark red Next year will be Cavs vs Spurs part 2, or Lebron vs Spurs part 4.
Anyone here to see Kawhi’s first chip after closing the warriors out?
Me
Yes definitely it's kawhi first chip before he blew 3-1 lead in the 2020 NBA conf semi finals to Jamal murray and Nikola jokic haha 😂
OWE HUGE RESPECT FOR SA SPURS BECAUSE THEY NOT ONLY WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP BUT THEY ALSO PROVED TO US THAT ITS EARNED THROUGH TEAM WORK AND THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BASKETBALL.
All in capitals? Why?
Kyzo | Unique he thinks it's so important. What he has to say is MORE important that what everyone else has to say, you know.
Us?
"No MVP. No King. No Drama. Just Spurs Basketball"
Huge Respect to SA
I hope the spurs victory restores faith in the spirit of basketball and the league of NBA a where the amazing happens without the help of the refs....
Leonard has a finals MVP and a ring before melo and kd lol
Lmfaooo thats fucked up.
KD
So what Leonard a great player who was with a fantastic team
Stephen Markelov this is funny af cause KD had to join the 73-9 warriors to win his 1st ring 💀💀
Eddie and he's about to win a second one lol
This is how not to blow a 3-1 lead folks
This is how to destroy a dynasty and a big 3 haha.. History repeats itself lebron made an upset in 2013 finals but smashed up the following year. Same thing happened in 2016 and 2017 finals 😂
@@opalheyward2346 the difference between the warriors and clippers is the dubs bounced back on that painful loss but the clippers? I don't think they can bounce back these days haha 😂
@@opalheyward2346 and a big difference is the fact that the spurs dominated lebron 2 times in 2007 and 2014 but the dubs made it 3 times to lebron cry baby 😂
I am so happy for Kawhi Leonard.
For real me too.
Same
Watching this after Timmy retired. Oh man without Kobe and Timmy, NBA wont be the same.
How can you say that it won't be the same? Maybe it won't be the same for you and your Era or time. But not for us NBA fanatics who continue to support aspiring players and underrated players
@@ringogonzalvo6532 it won't be the same
I started crying , I'm not even a spur. Just shows how sweet it is to win a championship in anything man ,I will work so hard to win one man I want it so bad man
Stfu tony snell
+Jonathan Fei Now here's a real idiot
Stfu scrub I'm most likely smarter than you lmao. I just was fooled by a YT comment. Chill the fuck out. And for the last time, this is the only time I've seen someone impost a totally random NBA player. I also have been watching RUclips for 8 years. I hate toxic people like you that call someone out for every single mistake.
I'm usually not this sensitive, but I was really annoyed
Oh please don't make me repeat myself again. Read my previous posts
MJ - 3peat
KOBE - 3peat
LEBRON - no 3peat
NO need for this bullshit comparison here. Lebron was nowhere near the 3-peat. He was closer to the 2011 lakers than anything. Should've been swept...
Yeah, plus Kobe wouldn't have gotten that 3 peat without Shaq's help
^ and lebron would have no rings if it weren't for D wade and bosh...and he wouldn't have even gotten that second ring if it weren't for Ray Allen, so what's your point? Kobe was a part of a duo, not a big 3
Hahahahaha sorry heat fans no 3peat for cHEat
any player could not have gotten a ring if it weren't for somebody helping i mean that's just obvious. There's no i in team. Steven Wang
"Follow my lead" (out of this building)
Thank you Adam Silver for not letting the refs dictate the outcome of these games & letting them play. Some of the best finals officiating I've seen in a long time. I hope it continues.
There was some bad calls I understand letting them play but if ginobli travels it needs to be caled
Chris Wehbe I can understand a few bad calls but compare that to when David Stern was commissioner and a bunch of blatant missed called or favoring one team. There are a lot of travels that's not called I don't really care for that.
This has to be the stupidest thing ive ever read
I believe this series was the reason LeBron went back to Cleveland. If the Heat won or been more competitive in this Finals LeBron would still be in Miami.
Nah He still would've left.
4:30 That smile.. This was one of the sweetest victories of spurs..
How can you beat talent in a basketball game??By playing team basketball

So glad the Spurs won, not only is this good for the league, but good for the fans, it goes to show that you can't take the easy route (LeBron) , and expect to three peat and get respect, I knew LeBron had karma coming towards him, hard work and teamwork beats talent every time, congrats Spurs!
im guessing you're e cavs fan?
Jay Skeleton Nope I'm a Dallas fan , and we already beat LeBron's ass in 2011 lmao
***** It's 2014 bitch , all that race shit doesn't matter anymore
Mavericks fan huh? Right on! Me too. I'm also glad the Spurs won and was doubly glad when the Mavs beat the Heat's overrated asses in 2011. Too bad Boss Cuban was too busy being a media clown instead of being an NBA owner when he dynamited his championship team that he strove to have for 12 years that offseason huh? Stupid ownership of our sports teams seems to be a constant in Dallas doesn't it? Maybe if Cuban was more like the Spurs ownership & kept his best players under contract we'd have more than 1 NBA title.
GiantPantherTX Yeah if would've been nice to have kept T.chandler and jj barea but atleast Dallas got 1 ring , because Dirk works hard year in and year out , & he deserves it,
People can say what they want about heat fans but in the recent videos majority of them are congratulating the spurs and yet I still see more people talking crap about the heat fans. Sorry for the fake spur fans giving the real fans bad rep.
***** Stop being a little bitch on everyone's comment. I dont care which team you're rooting for, so shut the fuck up. You don't know shit about how hard the Spurs worked to win this series, and how hard the Heat fought back, so shut your trap kid
***** shut up fucking hater
cuz the bandwagon heat fans are hiding now...
yall talk shit and stay stupid shit all season and expect people to forget about it?
Bitch no heat fan is real they all are band wagoners
who still watching in 2019? still got me chills😊
2020
man, one of best basket team i ever see, leonard increible
The SPurs proved you can play high octane offense, AND great defense. This is what Mike D'antoni wants to be when he grows up.
Spurs was a good team. This almost made me cry. They worked hard as a team and won the Finals. Spurs players were from all over the world. they made their countries proud.
Big things are going to happen this offseason
Hello Fellow Bulls fan. Who would you rather have. Melo, Mirotic, Love, Taj. As much as Fans don't want Melo. I think Thibs could be a no nonsense coach with him and fit him into the system. It's a stretch but I don't think it would be impossible to get Melo and adjust him. Problem is we couldn't keep Taj. It's going to be one interesting Off-Season.
Terrance R. Kelly I hope Taj stays he's a great character and fit for the bulls, but we need a scorer so i think boozer is leaving along with mike dunleavy and to make room for melo's contract.
I don't get Bulls fans who don't want Melo. He's a ball hog sometimes but we need scoring from somewhere and with him taking the scoring load it could extend roses career.
Terrance R. Kelly I totally agree it also gets rid of the load on the other players if Rose (hopefully not) gets injured again.
I'm not a bulls fan, but they rlly need melo. If they get him then joakim won't be relied on for offence he can just focus on dfence and everyone knows how good he is on defence. What I'm trying to say is is that IF they get melo, then joakim won't have to waste too much energy on offence cuz Melos gnna be dropping shots like no tomorrow and if that happens then Noah won't be tired when he gets back on dfence. They would be super dangerous like that.
I've never been more disappointed in Wade in my entire life. I've followed his career since he came into the league and it's sad to see the decline of a star especially the way he's going about it. I remember how great he was the first year of the big 3 then he was never the same going into the 2nd year. A man who in my opinion was once the best basketball player in the world can barely get a layup off against Splitter. His time is officially up. I can see him as a guy who will take a role more like Vince Carter on the Mavs and take a huge paycut to allow more talented young guys to come to this Heat team. Congrats to the Spurs for playing complete team basketball.
He has the choice to either be like Kobe and ruin his team for years and not take the payout he's going to be offered or take the paycut so the Heat can build for another championship.
He was already great before the big 3 era when he played and won with shaq
Agreed. Very lazy defensively, didn't seem very committed at all. Too many lapses in concentration on both ends of the court. A sign that Miami need younger, fresher talent to transition the ageing veterans out to the lower depths of rotation - or even off the books.
I always had this thought that too many stars is not such a great thing. now this is far fetched and possibly not true. Wade was a star without bosh and james. but since they came here. it's not "him". he now as well as bosh have to take a backseat and let james be the guy for the miami heat. that may mess with you mentality. you can't play the game how you want. What do you guys think. very unlikely theory. no?
I don't agree that Wade is done. I think Wade was dealing with an injury or something that wasn't bad enough to keep him out of the game, but did affect his performance. If you think back to last year, the same thing happened to Manu. In all the Playoff series I've seen Manu in, I have NEVER seen him not show up the way he was absent in last year's finals. Manu even admitted, much later, that he wasn't 100% in that Finals which accounted for his poor performance. I think Wade was dealing with the same thing and I expect he'll redeem himself next year.
I love our Spurs for bringing the world together through this championship. They are great ambassadors . They are international giants who add more spice to the game. Let's do this again next year. Blessings to all players from both teams.
Tim duncan wining at 37 again was impressive
"This is a team and thats what makes it so so nice" Love these guys philosophy. Congrats to the Spurs
That right LeBron as a Team you told your team to follow You they did all the way home.
Hahahahahahaha Hahahahahahaha they sure did..
after this finals loss.Drake became a Raptors Fan.pure traitor at its finest.
Yes and that's what exactly lebron did. he went back home to Cleveland after losing 2014 finals only found out that he will loss again to a 2015 warriors 😂😂
Respect to the Spurs, they played some epic basketball. The Heat won the last 4 eastern conference finals, that's a pretty nice achievement as well
LeBron has my respect because he actually pushed his team and carried them just not enough for the spurs :)
***** Lebron did everything he could, his team wasn't that good enough
***** Your lack of knowledge of the game is fucking astounding the Miami heat dont have a given leader they play as a team and have 2 superstars and 1 star
Kyzo | Unique what? read your comment and edit it. its ok I wont tell anyone.
***** he isnt even really the leader, everytime i watch a heat game its pretty clear that its still wades team
LeBron played really well in the finals. How exactly is LeBron supposed to make his teammates not suck? Anyone who blames LeBron for losing doesn't know basketball. It takes a team to win not one guy.
Who's here after Kawhi crushed an another 3-peat attempt?
Who's here after Kawhi played the Raptors and left ?
still watching 2016 #GoSpursGo
I'm not a fan of either team but damn, San Antonio deserves ALL the respect in the world. Beautiful basketball, it was obvious they simply were the better team.
Last year, the Heat did not win, the Spurs lost.. anybody with common sense understands that statement.
As far as LeBron goes, you dickriding fans need to stop, like really. Stop making excuses, stop making up shit like "he needs a better team" cause when you have two All Stars, three Hall of Famers, best three point shooter ever and also Gold winning Olympians, you do not need a better team. He's now 2 out of 5 in the Finals and you want to say he's the greatest, lol.
I guess it doesn't matter that players aren't exactly what they used to be but it's their name that matters huh?
I'll go against the tide here, and actually agree that James needs a better team around him. Like any of the greats, he can have all the talent in the world, but it's not a one on one game. It's a team game, and he needs good supporting players around him to really shine.
But the team is only the symptom of the real problem with his career, which is that he's never had a really good coach. Ever. He's had coaches who got lucky enough to have him on their team, rather than having genuine coaching skill. That definitely isn't the same thing as having a good coach who knows how to surround him with the talent that complements his skills. A coach who knows what he's doing with someone like James, as in being able to knock some sense into him when he needs it (no grandstanding TV specials), without breaking him. One that can really make him play to his potential, which is staggering, and help him minimize his weaknesses--which he does have.
He doesn't seem like a stupid guy, so he could very well be in the process of demanding a new coach with real talent, or he'll bolt for a team that will give it to him. He would definitely insist on a guy who would teach the kind of ball movement he was facing in this year's finals.
Thank you Spurs, for continuing to show people how important the fundamentals of basketball are. So many people get caught up in the flash of today's NBA, and rightfully so it is amazing to watch, but what people cannot forget is how important a TEAM and Fundamentals of the game are; making the extra pass, setting great screens, pass fake/shot fake, jump stops, help side defense, etc. was all on display for the world. Born and raised in SA and I have to say this is the best basketball I have ever witnessed from my Spurs. Team domination in it's purest form. Recognize and Appreciate it before it is gone.
Die hard spurs fan from NYC. I flew out 4/6/14 to catch a home game vs. The grizz...i honestly felt they weren't going to win nada, so...fuck it, lemme go see them before we get bumped in the 1st Rd. Lol, sooo happy I was wrong!!! This was a beautiful series and beautiful to witness as a spurs fan. Our boys did not give up, gave it all they had. I learned watching this series: No matter what happens to you, no matter if you fail...just know ain't over yet!!! You will redeem yourself! GSG foreverrr & everrr :-)
This is beautiful. I used to be a Rocket fan because of Yao for several years and I really found the beauty of basketball and teamwork from the Spurs. Love it!
The Spurs have the most respectable team ever. All seem to be nice guys. No egos!
We love our Spurs. Blessings to all.
I am not a Spurs fan before but I fell in love with their strong bond & play making. Good job spurs!
Like Ginobili said, its been a while. 7 years since their last Championship. They won in 03 05 07 & now 2014.
and 99
Thank you for posting this. It's beautiful :)
I love this Spurs Team so much. Congratulations. It has been the greatest pleasure to grow up watching them play
The 2014 team played with fire after losing in 2013 and this title will always be my favorite GO Spurs Go!!
LeBron fails over and over again in Cleveland = people say lebron needs a better team
Same thing happens in Miami = people say he needs a better team again.
smfh.
Soon they might say, Lebron needs a better set of ball rules
They went to the finals 4 times and won 2... You consider that failing? Ok lol
Well, anything less than a championship every season is a failure, that's why the bar was raised so high. That's a lot of pressure. I agree with fellipe.
This year the Spurs were the better team.. Tim and pop deserve it.. we'll back tho don't sleep on us #heatnation
Wade, Bosh, Allen, Chalmers, the whole Miami team aside from LeBron must've played good in these finals to you huh?
I hate how they put that Ray Allen 3 at the end of the video...
I don't mind it at all. It just shows that the Heat ESCAPED by the skin of their teeth, while the Spurs absolutely DOMINATED the Heat to get the title that was rightfully theirs.
Well u can say ESCAPED but nah. It's not like they had a lead go into the final minute of play in game 6. The spurs choked it away. Done.
They really didnt "choke" it away. Kawhi missed a FT then LeBron hit a 3 then he missed a 3 bosh fouled ginobli for the board then the traitor himself ray allen drained a 3. (Celtics fan) Miami deserved game 7 even tho i hate the Heat sooooo much, mainly becaise of there bandwagon fans and how they always get away with travels/flops
This is Basketball right here. It's been so long to see such a great basketball game like last night, I'll never forget this moment.
I always love coming back to watch this.
Who’s here after the raptors beat the golden state warriors for there first nba championship and kawhi gets his second bill russel mvp
yupp
Well Deserved! Great Job San Antonio! You guys showed them out there.
Boris Diaw lowkey the MVP of this series
I have been an NBA fan for a long time.. and I had not enjoyed watching a team so much since the Bulls dynasty in the 90s.. This SPURS T-E-A-M is one of the best of all time.. a true champion.. CONGRATS S.A Spurs..!
Spurs= represent the WORLD
Tim Duncan > LeBron James
Can't compare the 2
+Sam Baca no one is a gifted physical athlete and the other is the ultimate team player that puts team success before personal glory. Which is why one has 5 rings and the other has 3!
W
and this Spurs Team is the true definition of Basketball Team.. the 2014 NBA Finals is my favorite among all finals i had watched and i will going to watch.
I love my SPURS. 7 years it is a long time I waited for this I've been a Spurs fan since I was born love San Antonio. LeBron James can do it all on his own.
This is a good reason why the NBA should just match up the top 16 teams, no matter if theyre in the east or west. The eastern conference is just too weak, Miami has been getting to the championships easy for the past 4 years
Exactly that's why I love the west conference their more challenging. I want to see somebody else on the east make it to the finals.
True.
Spurs is such a great team! They deserved to win it back! Congratulations!
I wish every NBA team plays team basketball the way the Spurs do. It's just great to watch. Gregg Popovich did a great job coaching this team despite having much older players in Tim Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker. Their leadership contributes greatly on to the players that come off the bench. They don't have knuckleheads no egos, just a big family with the same mindset. Team work makes the dream work. Love or hate the Spurs, but you gotta respect em. Coming from a Laker fan good job Spurs 👍
Just watching this over and over again to make myself happy. Hoping for the Spurs to repeat this year.
And then the warriors became a thing and ruined your hopes for the rest of this era. Dw man i am a lebron fan. It should have been spurs and lebron every year
redemption x2 !!! they redeemed vs the OKC Thunder, AND the Miami Heat this year. Im the proudest fan right now!!
See Golden State, this is how you close out a 3-1 series....
A real champions inside and out the court.. salute to all of u guys CONGRATULATIONS
The best final I've ever seen since 2008.
Why are people hating on Lebron? I see people calling him 'LeShit' or whatever but give the guy some credit. It seems like everything he does is a wrong in peoples eyes. Everybody is criticising this man but I don't see them criticise MJ. Bear in mind yes MJ is one of best players in the world he's right there at the top. People think of him as god, in fact his 1st 6 seasons with the Bulls they didn't even reach the finals until Pippen emerged. He shot 37% from the field against the sonics. I'm just saying LBJ averaged 27.3 ppg 7reb and 4.3 assists shooting 70% from the field in this series cut the guys some slack. It was a man vs machine series. Anyways congrats to the Spurs for winning the 2014 championships And also to Kawhi Leonard for winning the MVP you deserved it. We'll be back next year (Heat fan)
I don't know about LeShit, never heard of that, I call him LeFlop. But still, I have respect for him as a person, as he is always willing to win, a little bit less as player because of his flopping.
He kinda brought it on himself, cupcake, with the big brouhaha tv special about what team he would go to, and his promise of X number of championships.
If he'd shut his mouth and let his playing do the talking, he'd get more respect.
MJ didn't shoot 37% against Seattle. And LeBron didn't shoot 70% against the Spurs. I have no idea where you're getting your numbers.
Gordon Gekko In game 6 against seattle he was 5 of 19 shooting
And he shot 15 of 18 in game 2 of the '91 Finals. So what's your point.. We're going to single out Jordan's worst shooting performance in the Finals while pretending that LeBron really shot 70% for the series against the Spurs. Is that the plan?
Congrats!
You never know what can happen in basketball and in life. After a heartbreaking loss last season, to bounce back and have that fire in them that just drove them onwards is incredible. This is truly the sweetest moment for the entire Spurs organization, from the players right down to the fans. Great season, even greater ending. And props to the Heat for sticking in there. It didn't come down to 7 but it was still one heck of a series.
I've loved this team since I was a child and this was one of the greatest sports moments in my life.
"Follow my lead". Lebron James leadership cost them the finals. ahaha
He lead them .. but they didn't follow. Unfortunately. Which is what really costed them the series. It seems as if you haven't watched the fucking game at all. You would have noticed how the 22-6 start in the 1Q was him certainly leading his team.
***** behind every heat fan is an excuse no matter what the situation.
FOLLOW EVERY BODY'S LEAD
too much ego killed the heart guys are talented but team work was not there compared to the spurs
Not a Lebron fan, but you're wrong. Wade didnt show up, bosh didnt show up, chalmers has been very cold. Lebron has had to carry this team the entire season. He deserves some blame, but the majority is still on his teamates.
That sequence from 7:00-7:15 was just touching
This gave me the chills man
Who else agrees that last years final was better then this years
Of course we'll agree--we're Spurs fans!
+Corgi2K 2013 was a seven point game like 2010. Why ist 4th?
The mavs were in the finals 2006?
and which heat squad you think was better?
OK
Team with no superstars finally wins!
***** Did you WATCH the Thunder series?!? He's not at the level he used to be, but he still holds his own.
***** Tim Duncan is a superstar. In 2003, in 2013 and in 2023.
Yeah, they don't have Flop King
2004 Detroit Pistons did it with no future hall of famers. San Antonio's Big 3, are all future HOFer's.
what about the big 3? stop watching espn
This never gets old.
You see everybody who won Finals MVP, Jerry West, Kobe, Chamberlain, Bird, Magic, Jordan, etc. Then you see Kawhi Leonard with his name up there. He's not even a superstar yet(he's bound to be in my opinion). Congrats, Kawhi and the San Antonio Spurs.
Mr. Sinful look at him now
Yep best player in the world rn
haslem should have been playing more from the start, the man is the heart and soul of them team and this is coming from a laker fan
***** its haslems energy that helps and the little things he does that helps
he wouldn't have made a difference, Spurs still would of fucked the Heat up
Without LEBRON heat are nothin
Dye Xray well actually they won a championship without him
haslem is a bunch of shit tho wouldnt make a difference .
kawhi's reaction was when he won was amazing to watch. just pure happiness. the heat definitely seemed tired by the end, even though they had a pretty easy road to the finals. lebron played great but the spurs were just too good. they played some awesome basketball in this series. really fun to watch
They are genuinely happy to play this way, selfless and team oriented. What ever TD21 wants to do its all good.
Dang i didn't realize how diverse the Spurs are, I mean Argentinian to French to Italian to Australian to Brazilian to American of course, and yet they played a more beautiful team than an all American team. Just to show the kind of perspective you got to have to know what it means to be a team.
That's pretty goes pretty deep.
Hey lebron, remember that elimination game IN THE FINALS when Michael Jordan sat down the sencond half of the 4th quarter?.... YEA ME EITHER.
remember when Kobe sat out the final 6 minutes of a FINALS elimination game? ..... yea, me either!
Those guys went to 45 points those type of games. When the rest of the team lagged, kobe n mike dropped at least 35, 40 points..... remember that? Yea, me too
GOT EMMMMMM
to be fair i think the Lakers probably still win their titles if Kobe would have sat out...Mr. 6-24 isn't very good in the Finals.
Remember when jordan told his boy scottie pippen to guard magic in the finals because magic was too big for him oh yeah I remember that BITCH u look really stupid now
Tyrone Kilete Its not like michael jordan can just grow to 6'9 and guard magic lol. get off lebrons nuts. He's constantly asking for better help. trying to get superstars to join his team. The heat had 4 HOF players and lebron still wants more help. Open your eyes man.
remember when kobe didnt shoot against phoenix?.
This was awesome. Best trio of all time
Congratulations and much respect to the Spurs-from a loyal Mavs fan
kawaii finally with emotion!!!
6:57 its funny how belinelli does the italian pinky finger thing while taliking lol
ikr lol
YESSS!!!! I'VE BEEN A SPURS FAN SINCE 2012!!! I LOVE THESE GUYS SO MUCH, IT ALL STARTED FROM GINOBILI AND THEN EVERYBODY ELSE GO SPURS GO!!!!
I grew up in San Antonio. I've lived and died by the Spurs since 1973, when I was nine. In 2013, I died by (with) them. On Father's Day 2014, I lived again, and it was fun. Proud to be a Spurs fan, 41 years and counting.
Spurs deserved their win. Lebron don't deserve the hate tho
As a heat fan, I think the spurs deserved it.
I love the way Duncan says "We're back!" near the end there:)
Spurs showed that terrific teamwork and passion can go a long way . Congrats to the champions
should be back to back champs
finally the Team work beat the Show Man
Congrats i see this video and one tear is in my eye now, Tim wit her daugther Lenard do not believe what has won simple amazing
Manu's iconic dunk:
- He blew past Ray Allen who had that game-tying 3 pointer in Game 6 2013
- He dunked on Chris Bosh who was the one whom rebounded and set up Ray Allen for that 3
Sweet sweet revenge 😁
That’s kinda a reach
so sad no mcgrady in that Spurs team
first off. congrats to the Spurs and Kawhi Leonard on winning the finals mvp award. but as a LeBron fan i have to say what a four years its been with the Heat. with my dad in and out of the house, i watched LeBron to keep my mind off things. from being the immature villain that he was 3 years ago to being a changed man for the better in terms of being a player and as a person. along the way i saw him win two championships. but in 2011 i felt a hole in myself watching my favorite player not accomplish his goal of winning an nba championship. but i was still a fan after that summer and was inspired when the Heat redeemed themselves in 2012 and proved to the league that they could do it again in 2013. to make 4 straight finals appearances is something in itself but it also shows the dedication of this team to be stay elite. following this loss i no longer feel the hole of loss but rather an acceptance of how things are. ive changed after 3 years myself. from being an insecure kid to a young man no longer scarred by past experiences. ive been inspired by LeBron to make myself a better person both mentally and physically, despite what others may do to me. for that i will always be a fan of LeBron James.
