Young NBA fans really underrate Tim Duncan. It sounds crazy to say but it's true. As a Knicks fan, watching a second year player demolish your team like that turned me into a Duncan fan for the rest of his career. Greatest PF of all time.
people underrating duncan cause they never watched him play from 1997-2007...shame...the dude was as good as anyone besides mj imo overall...that 1999 spurs team and the 03 team were not that talented and 07 was on fumes..05 was them at their peak together ......he was hard to beat unless you had shaq and kobe at their primes scoring 30 each on his head ...while his 2nd option could not get even 15...
david was not the scorer he used to be in 99...not even close..people overrate that spurs team..they basically had 6 guys scoring...in the 4 finals wins the spurs bench excluding 6th man jarren jackson had 14 total points over 4 finals wins that 3.5 points per game....and some of that was in garbage time ...
I been saying he rivals Jordan for goat he Whooped Kobe Lebron Shaq KD dirk wade kg tmac curry iverson Cp3 melo he’s 5/6 finals he played tougher competition than Jordan & his win percentage is outstanding
Tim Duncan is underrated because he never beats his chest and tries to get the lime light all on him. He does HIS job and did it very well w/o talking shit. Something a lot of loud mouth punks, who wish they could win ONE title, could learn. Best Power Forward in NBA history hands down.
To think in year 2 he won 12 straight playoff games out west and 13 out of 14 going into game 3 of the finals as the clear first option with his 2nd option not even avg. 16 is crazy considering he beat shaq kobe rice then brandon mitchell and kg and then sabonis damon grant and sheed...teams led by guys he had to match-up with nightly at his position...lets not forget spreewell houston camby johnson...man went 15-2 and lost 1 playoff game on the road out of 9 and won all 6 road playoff games vs west teams that season...that's amazing to think about...he won games by 3 and 1 and he won close games in the high 70's mid 80's or by double digits helping his team score 118 on the road....that's crazy
@@kame1624 the '07 nba finals was the 1st time the spurs reminded lebron blames that he's just fake 🐐,but he didn't listened,so the spurs reminded him again in '14 by kicking his ass in the finals & sending him crying back to cleveland to be his mommy & stepdaddy delonte west ....... 😂🤣😂🤣-😭😭😭😭😭😭 ....
@@johnnier.o.d4746 LeBron was 22 in 07…..also go look at his roster. Then Bron cooked the Spurs in 2013. The 2014 Heat were washed besides LeBron while the 2014 Spurs are a top 5 team ever.
NBA, I love that yall are streaming these playoff games during all this madness. Really cool, thank you! Can we please get a game out of the 2011 Mavs run? That OKC series was beautiful.
Respect for sprewell staying on the court, and giving an interview after losing. No team does that anymore these days. Everyone on the losing team always goes straight to the locker room. I was blessed to see the spurs win all their championships.
the most underrated free agent pick up that year was mario ellie..he showed up in the finals like shane battier in the 2012 finals...dude was legit their 4th best player that finals and 5th in the regular season...they needed him cause other than starter jarren jackson they basically had no depth or shooting ....like without ellie the spurs 6th man would of been a 2 ppg 2.5-3 reb malik rose...they had no bench without jarren jackson and theres no jarren jackson off the bench without mario starting....what a sneaky good pickup...he just ate up minutes...without him the spurs basically would of played 6 guys into the ground all year
I know it's hard being a Knick fan these days but at least they had a few Finals appearances. Jordan' s Bulls, Hakeem' s Rockets and Duncan's Spurs were just too good.
A lot of heart in this Knicks team. Same people who clown the Knicks probably have never seen their team in the finals. This was a proud moment as the eighth seed. ✊
Just crazy how sad of a franchise the knicks are, being in a huge market and playing in the finals ONCE in the last 20 years lmao. Crazy this is the best they could do in two whole decades
They were the eight seed in a lock out season, so not a true eight seed. Also people clown the Knicks being so unbelievably bad over such a long stretch of time. I mean 20 years damn... that’s almost as long as some franchises have been around.
@@pzooka i am sure the way nba is constructed every team with good management and some luck in drafts have a chance to be a real contender one time for each 5 years, some teams with amazing management like the spurs manage to be a good playoff team over lots of years, and other teams like the knicks manage to be bad for many years probably the knicks last peak was that carmelo team and even that, but we cant clown to much the knicks because suddently they can manage to draft someone crazy good or do a splash in free agency or even a nice trade and become contenders for years, for me the first mistake the spurs did in decades was the Leonard trade and the automaticly cost them this years playoffs presence.
Man I love this spurs team, "a collection of misfits, rejects and late bloomers", the knicks fought hard too, they deserve the credit, sprewell was relentless at times.
This is the first nba finals I ever watched. I was 7 years old…hardly knew anything about basketball…but I knew I wanted to watch this finals. We had 1 tv in the house and luckily these games would come on when my mother was getting ready for bed. I’ve been watching nba basketball ever since…hooked.
As a basketball fanatic, I remember watching the 1999 NBA playoffs, and the way the New York Knicks eliminated every other team to make it to the NBA finals was incredible! During the finals, it was like the last week of school, but I never attended the last day of the school year becuz I had to go on vacation with my family. 1 week into my vacation, I found out from my dad that the San Antonio Spurs have won the NBA championship! This was Tim Duncan's 1st NBA championship, he spent his entire 19-year playing career with the Spurs & he retired as a 5 time NBA champion!
98-99 season was shortened due to lockout. Each team played 50 games if the NBA had full schedule 82 game season these Knicks would have imploded sooner.
A1 FAN SINCE DAY 1, ALL THE BAND WAGON RIDERS WHO WERE NOT SPURS FANS TILL DUNCAN CAME IN JUST STAY WITH UR FAVORITE TEAM WE DONT NEED U TO CHEER FOR MY SPURS.
One of the last times when teams were truly disturbed by the fact they had to play in the Garden...it was a fortress back then, tough defense all game long...Praying that my Knicks bounce back, it's sad nowadays
Yasuke Afro Samurai warriors are the ones that copied the spurs style from the 13 & 14 finals. The only great and memorable finals moment that involved the warriors was choking a 3-1 lead
Yasuke Afro Samurai lol the way Popovich used Boris Diaw as a creator and a stretch 4 to space the floor those seasons showed Kerr how to use Draymond in the offense and planted the early seeds of small ball. And the 6th man was iggy or Livingston/barbosa. 2013 & 2014 spurs gave yall the blueprint. Unselfish big 3. Ball movement. 3 point shooting. Roster depth. Great defense. Steve Kerr copied the system just with better shooters and then yall got to play teams that were always injured. And then went crying to KD after that choke job.
Yasuke Afro Samurai if you knew anything you’d realize the spurs boring style was only in the 2000’s. Fast forward to the ‘13 & ‘14 seasons and they put on offensive clinics with precise ball movement and great 3 point shooting. lmao and yalls best player just left too. Kawhi left and spurs still made the playoffs. KD left and yall became the worst team in the league. Boo hoo yall got hurt last season. It’s fitting since like I said, yall only ever faced injured teams lol
I still remember when Timmy was still playing from his first game with my spurs to da last I literally prayed almost everyday to please don't let the injury bug happen to our star player Tim Duncan cuz I knew it can end careers like it did to alot of great players, and with gods grace it never got Duncan injured to where he would have to miss years or months maybe small injuries to where he would have to miss a few games but other than tht no big ones so thank u god for keeping Timmy healthy his whole career.
He did miss the 2000 playoffs or 2001 with a knee injury, but yes we Spurs fans were very lucky to have been able to cheer for him for such a long time. Once Tony and Manu arrived it was so much fun, most called them boring but winning is fun lol.
@@Abbad1579 Accomplishment wise maybe but again he has some overrated ass rings like this one right here. This season was short, lucky Mj wasn’t around and the Knicks weaaaaak lol they have no Ewing and only reason this finals happened is cause of the lockdown. 23 year old Lebron and that trash ass Cavs roster is probably the biggest cake walk ever in the history of the finals.
@@rapereggae7961 Duncan was still the leader in 4 of his rings. Kobe was only the leader in 2 of them. And Kobe played some trash opponents in the finals like the 2000 pacers, Iverson's sixers, and Kidd's nets.
This San Antonio Spurs was loved to watch since MJ witness the 99 championship I started to love them over the decade until theyr win their 5 title, Timmy Manu tony my child hood basketball legends.that why started playing basketball then.
The 90s and till the early 2000s 1. When teams played hard-nosed defense 2. No soft fouls or unnecessary stoppages 3. Every single championship was valued. Making the playoffs was valued. Now it's just superstars chasing money and chasing rings by forming super teams.
As a knicks fan I’m still bitter about losing twice in the finals in the 90s when we were clearly the 2nd best team in the east. welp at least we got the 70s
Yes the Spurs had to grind it out to win the title but Sprewell wasn’t going down without a fight. It took a few Spurs to stop him at the end to seal the series and the championship.
From its beginning with Gervin to Robinson and Duncan, the second largest city in Texas known for the Alamo (remember it) and the only professional sports team there won their first championship
Great times 1999-2014 Spurs and Lakers dominated the West with Dallas creeping in here and there but 1999-2005 was the peak of just pure domination of the two teams eastern conference had no answer for either
@@st4r444 they got robbed in 06’ by Miami but they still the only team besides my Thunder in that time period to sneak by the Lakers and Spurs and also since 1999 the west has been a finals appearance for Spurs Lakers Mavs and warriors only Thunder and suns are the anomalies and look at the conference finals this year Miami can make it’s 7th appearance since then as well or Boston with its 3rd and break a 3 way tie with the nets and pistons at 2 and warriors are a game away from their 6th appearance as well it’s clear what the premier organizations are
if ewing was healthy the knicks would’ve won it all. i just got that feeling. he would’ve had that extra motivation and if sprewell was playing like he was… they would’ve pulled off the most improbable championship in the most improbable year ever.
1:27:27 from left to right Allen Houston, Larry Johnson, Latrell Sprewell, Marcus Campy and Charly Ward. That's a nice 5 right there. If the Bulls didn't implode could they have beaten this Knicks team?
Yeah playing defense now is not getting you any where. The game is suited for offense playing D wouldn't help. It's an offensive league now. A lot of this guys played great d. That doesn't cut it now. If you can't shoot a three you can't play. It's like a cheat code 1 dimensional game now. I agree with you playing inside and running plays doesn't cut it anymore.
first time see in NBA histroy that,,,,this young kid is dominating the NBA and also the veteran or elite nba players trying to double or tripple him and he still can score hahaha 30:28
The knicks had more than enough talent to win more games in this series. Plus had a very underrated coach in van gundy. Who is in my eyes the possibely the 2nd or 3rd best coach the knicks ever had. Van gundy had more heart an determination to win than most players in the nba. Houston with his 100 millon contract an larry johnson played horrible. If those 2 played elite this series could have been different. Ewing being hurt put alot of pressure on camby an kurt thomas. Going against the twin towers alone. The knicks had their own twin towers in camby an ewing. This series was not lost by coaching, but by players not playing to their elite levels.
Jersey's were way too loose in this era. Particularly the guards. Look at Charlie Ward and Chris Childs. This had to affect shooting once in a while. Nearly every player is swimming in their jersey. lmao.
What's strange is that the Spurs are a southern team. Duncan and Robinson were nicknamed the " Twin Towers ". Their jersey numbers of 50 and 21 equal 71. The same year that the Southern Tower had it's topping out ceremony July 19, 1971 (71). The Spurs would win IN New York, with both Duncan and Robinson in all black (symbolizing death of the Towers).

@@tli7657 www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200903090MIA.html Wade in this game was insane
Tim Duncan doesn't get enough mentions
1:05:16 "They gotta be careful and not have him do all, |Tim| needs some help"
"Or does He"
That was cold 🥶.
Miss the nba on nbc
ABC been showing the finals since 2003 and it still feels off.
1:27:27 from left to right Allen Houston, Larry Johnson, Latrell Sprewell, Marcus Campy and Charly Ward. That's a nice 5 right there. If the Bulls didn't implode could they have beaten this Knicks team?
the goatmentator with the presentation.
Imagine Sprewell hit that shot. That really would have been crazy.
It felt like a foul might come but spurs were smart
Goat the Quiet Giant and class act
52:25 RIP Jaren Jackson...
138.10 rip Knicks.
Greatest spurs championship hope they play in the alamodome again an bring back the fiesta colors go spurs go
congratulation Spurs
Came here today to watch some of the best pf to ever play
Latrell Sprewell class act post game interview in a tough moment.
Why Ewing wasn't playing this game? Damn that would have been so different for the Knicks
Sebastian Berhó I think he was injured the whole series
Knicks ain't been right since
Skill-wise these teams are no where close to the standard the league is at currently. It's crazy how fast basketball is evolving.
yeah, none of these 2 teams could compete today.
Yeah playing defense now is not getting you any where. The game is suited for offense playing D wouldn't help.
It's an offensive league now. A lot of this guys played great d. That doesn't cut it now.
If you can't shoot a three you can't play. It's like a cheat code 1 dimensional game now.
I agree with you playing inside and running plays doesn't cut it anymore.
Timmy is da best
first time see in NBA histroy that,,,,this young kid is dominating the NBA and also the veteran or elite nba players trying to double or tripple him and he still can score hahaha 30:28
@NBA please post Dwyane Wade’s 2006 Finals game and also D-Wade’s 46 & 55 point game against the Knicks in the 08-09 season
Ngl but Patrick Ewing was unreal in that game
He was a very good player. Just a touch under david Robinson.
The knicks had more than enough talent to win more games in this series. Plus had a very underrated coach in van gundy. Who is in my eyes the possibely the 2nd or 3rd best coach the knicks ever had. Van gundy had more heart an determination to win than most players in the nba. Houston with his 100 millon contract an larry johnson played horrible. If those 2 played elite this series could have been different. Ewing being hurt put alot of pressure on camby an kurt thomas. Going against the twin towers alone. The knicks had their own twin towers in camby an ewing. This series was not lost by coaching, but by players not playing to their elite levels.
Please do Drazen Petrovic game it s a classic from a legend!!
Preach!
yes!
Jersey's were way too loose in this era. Particularly the guards. Look at Charlie Ward and Chris Childs. This had to affect shooting once in a while. Nearly every player is swimming in their jersey. lmao.
Duncan is in my top 5
What's strange is that the Spurs are a southern team. Duncan and Robinson were nicknamed the " Twin Towers ". Their jersey numbers of 50 and 21 equal 71. The same year that the Southern Tower had it's topping out ceremony July 19, 1971 (71). The Spurs would win IN New York, with both Duncan and Robinson in all black (symbolizing death of the Towers).
Predictive Programming? Gematria?
Timmy D da 🐐
And 24 years later we have another team make it. 8th seed in NBA finals. The irony, Miami was the Top Seed that lost to this Knicks team.
Avery looks like an Older Kevin hart 🤣
Nba were so much more interesting back then. Now it’s just a 3pt shootout
Why do you say that?
man this a lowpost masterpiece game！
I just realized Charlie Ward looks like CP3.
