You know this team really transcends basketball if you think about it. A lot of the traits most of these players have apply so much in the real world. The ability to believe in a system and not overstepping your role. Not focusing on yourself rather focus on your mates. It's all about the unit and rather than the individual. The first thing kawhi did after they won the finals was go up to pop and thank him for pushing him to be his best. And yes I do believe having mental toughness and grit is one of the greatest traits anyone can possess. Being intelligent is great but when things go wrong, it's all about how you respond and not be beaten down in the face of adversity. If you display the need to always improve, you will find out what kind of inner strength you have. The Spurs in my opinion are the greatest model of consistency and class in basketball and also in terms of structure. Business can really learn a thing or two from their model, if they want to see maximum productivity.
+Bossman5998 Brilliant comment. The San Antonio Spurs are the epitome maximum productivity being efficient as a team and a unit. Thus making this the best NBA organization in all major professional sports with the best winning percentage as a franchise .614.
This is the first 2014 Spurs tribute video that gave me chills. This is the video where I felt the PASSION! On all the other videos, I was naught but a passenger, along for the ride, but not really feeling it. I felt it here. I felt the emotion, the emotion of what every. single. guy felt on the floor there for 105 games. What I felt was a sense of selflessness, that what you hold in your hands is precious, and that you would rather give it to your teammate so HE can score. It's the same as if you were dying of thirst, and you would 100% rather give it to your teammate to save his life over your own. That's what they felt, every single pass. You could see it, how there were no hesitations, no reluctance to part with the rock. You know, it's easy to talk the talk and say how unselfish you are, and that when it comes down to it, you'd do the right thing. But it's not that easy, to subdue your own ego, and give the chance to someone else. Even the best has trouble with it, because no matter how much they say they want to play team ball, the individual ego still exists, and the best can still succumb to it when it comes down to it. Well, the Spurs didn't have to face those demons, because they don't exist. They truly, honestly, swear to god operated without any sense of SELF in this season. There was only the Team, and there was never any doubt about it.
You see some these plays over and over again, but they never get old. Could you imagine an entire NBA game where two teams play this kind of basketball? That would drive a purest of the game crazy!
thank you san antonio, not just for showing us how beautiful a game basketball is. more importantly, for showing us how how freindship, loyalty, teamwork, and even life itself should be played.
One of the Greatest Teams. Not "flashy" but effective. They showed how Basketball is supposed to be played. Tim Duncan. One of the GOATS. Thank you Timmy. Thank you David. Thank you Tony. Thank you Manu. Thank you Kawhi. Thank you Spurs. Thank you to all the players who WHO called themselves a Spur. Thank you coach Pop. Thank you Kolt Air for this video.
Such a moving and beautiful tribute to the teamwork shown by the spurs,people honestly have reason to be inspired by all this. What they accomplished is nothing short of astounding. A first class organization, first class team, first class men Great tribute sir
The most fundamentally sound basketball team in the NBA - San Antonio Spurs The most classiest franchise in the NBA - San Antonio Spurs 20 division titles, 6 conference titles, 5 championships - San Antonio Spurs The first former ABA team to win five NBA championships - San Antonio Spurs formerly known as the Dallas Chapparals and Texas Chapparals.
Great video. Very well done. Love the music too. What beautiful ball movement and passing. Unselfish play and teamwork. The way it's supposed to be. Go Spurs Go.
Duncan,Manu,Parker,Leonard,Diaw,Mills,Green,Splitter make like 50 million combined...Kobe makes half that to ride pine all year....now you tell me who really means it when they say "All I care about is wining"
Seriously love video seriously I'll truly appreciate it watching this San Antonio Spurs Team he truly played together as a Team & Family for each other
Beautifully edited video! Really captures the essence of the Spurs and basketball as a whole. Would give you two thumbs up if I could! Looking forward to more of these
I come back to this video to enjoy again what this team makes me felt... For everybody who loves real basketball, this was one of the most beautiful times to enjoyed this game.
Quite the video.... I would say this is the kind of thing that should be praised on RUclips. I think that this video is great because it really gets to the heart of what the spurs are, and that's more than just an organization and a basketball team, it's a way of life, a system to be mimicked and copied. I'm really happy I found this video, and am really happy you took time to make and post this on RUclips. Thank you kind sir!
I've seen this video several times, and I grew up with the spurs 1998 through 2016 and the undying chemistry that the team had through that time period was admirable for lack of a better word. I think arguably at that time one of the greatest sports team in the world and I think Pop should go down as the greatest coach in sports history.
This is a great video! It's awesome that the spurs are being recognized finally, and not for the retirement rumors. They only say it because they think the spurs will stop winning. Your video highlights why they brought the precise simplicity of great basketball back to the spotlight. Great job again.
This might be a boring team but look what they have done in the years look at the rings look at the players they develop this is one of the franchise model teams
if you call 8 years of work and struggle to completely reshape the offense of a team luck, then sure it's luck. some say game 1 was lucky, but games 3, 4, and 5 proved that game 1 was not luck, and this showing by the Spurs is going to make several top tier teams completely restructure their defense to handle this style of offense
well to be fair luck is a part of life, that being said in Texas luck is: Sean Eliot hitting that 3 in 99, luck is Tim wide ass open and hitting a game saving 3 to put the ever so great suns away in the plays 08, Sugar K missing a clutch free throw, Manu missing a three point play opportunity that's luck. Taking Duncan out and putting all your faith in to Manu to rebound over Bosh now that is stupidity. This year was not luck it was team work heart love vindictive will and the love for what basketball truly is. James Naismith once said "I have made a game to witch one man can take over and tip the tied, but if that is so then what happens when all 5 men on the other side of the court share the same brain, I'll tell you they are the true masters of my game" btw the Spurs "O" is model after a(n) office {1934} deemed unworthy of today's game....
This is why it makes me sick to see today's NBA where a guy will dribble dribble dribble and then jack up a step back 3. It doesn't have tip be that easy. The way they move the ball is simply beautiful.
i agree with a comment on the volume of the music. music works well for the most part, though there are sections where the music almost overpowers the voice. the charm of this video is the narration, because great Spurs video is now all over the place. but the great stories through narration are more sparse, and this is a terrific narrative, and good voice. and it shouldn't be compromised. it's not egregiously compromised, but it is nevertheless. hope this is helpful.
+Steven Espinoza why do people always take offense at sports no matter what you say? i didn't mean it as a slight on popovich. i was referring to the fact that he let go of splitter, baynes, bellineli, and joseph to make room for LMA. it wasn't a guarantee that he would sign with them yet they gambled and it paid off. it was a gamble, no matter how you spin it.

***** I don't see how you can say that's not true. Almost all of the in-game video is the same, up to the exact same clips being in slow motion as in the Colin Stanton videos, and the same sequence with the same transition in 6:25-6:45. I can go on, but listing everything would take pages. Not that it's necessarily bad to rearrange and add your own spin to it, but at least own up to it.
You talk about the military back ground of coach Pop giving him intuition. I’m pretty sure that military background didn’t teach him to repeatedly and publicly disrespect the military’s commander in chief. Maybe he should stick to basketball.

Jessie G that series made a statement for people who thought the Spurs were easy to beet.

What a great twenty year run we had, but we will e back. I loved every moment as a Spurs Super Fan since 1994!!
you know we getting it !!!! go spurs go
I've seen this video several times, and I grew up with the spurs 1998 through 2016 and the undying chemistry that the team had through that time period was admirable for lack of a better word. I think arguably at that time one of the greatest sports team in the world and I think Pop should go down as the greatest coach in sports history.
Damn the busiest is not the defender but the cameraman

This might be a boring team but look what they have done in the years look at the rings look at the players they develop this is one of the franchise model teams
Best nba a passing team ever I wish that Leonard was still a spur
Great video. Music, clips, dialogue were all good.
Amazing video ! Great job man ;-)
Well said! We love you spurs
At 0:59, if I were TP and Timmy pulled me like that, no matter how cool we are, I woulda told him off. But it really shows how CLOSE those guys are.
My friend told me yesturday that the Spurs got lucky. i say bullshit
Well miami just got lucky last year.
if you call 8 years of work and struggle to completely reshape the offense of a team luck, then sure it's luck. some say game 1 was lucky, but games 3, 4, and 5 proved that game 1 was not luck, and this showing by the Spurs is going to make several top tier teams completely restructure their defense to handle this style of offense

This video it's 100% "The Beautiful Game" videos, with an other voice and narration.
+KERLOND lol no
Kolt Air
yes
the perfect video.
what a awesome video!! nothing but facts
After see à game of Houston. I come in spurs 2014' s vidéos to not forget what thé basktball is
I love my spurs!!!!!!
This is why it makes me sick to see today's NBA where a guy will dribble dribble dribble and then jack up a step back 3. It doesn't have tip be that easy. The way they move the ball is simply beautiful.
just great
and FYI the song is Zack Hemsey - I'll Find A Way
thank you
thanks you Spurs fan!!
Excellent !
Long live The Silent Dynasty!
I began seeing miami bandwags joining san antonio...
Who else watching in 2020
watch the long version :)
Kolt Air which one
I’ve watched so many
Nice video! Love it!
That's how you play the game
and then the golden state warriors took it to another level!
i agree with a comment on the volume of the music. music works well for the most part, though there are sections where the music almost overpowers the voice. the charm of this video is the narration, because great Spurs video is now all over the place. but the great stories through narration are more sparse, and this is a terrific narrative, and good voice. and it shouldn't be compromised. it's not egregiously compromised, but it is nevertheless. hope this is helpful.
GO SPURS GO!! #WEGOTHEART
3:47 "he doesn't gamble on players" well, he did for LMA
+migol1984 lma a gamble pfft will see in the upcoming years
+Steven Espinoza why do people always take offense at sports no matter what you say? i didn't mean it as a slight on popovich. i was referring to the fact that he let go of splitter, baynes, bellineli, and joseph to make room for LMA. it wasn't a guarantee that he would sign with them yet they gambled and it paid off. it was a gamble, no matter how you spin it.

Brings tears to my eyes.
Music please...

great passes!!
+Kolt Air this video is inspiring man keep it up!
Kawhi watch this, stay with us.
Great job
5:37 my jaw drops everytime :O
amazing video
The relator never said the name Manu. Bad.
very nice....
Spurs make the cameramen job difficult all the time with all these ball movement
Everyone is looking for the pass not the shot!!!
Spurtans!!!! what is your profession???!!!!...AHOOO, AHOOOO!!!!
Hahahahahaha love it
A lot of this video is just chunks cut out of the Beautiful Game tribute with different narration over it
***** I don't see how you can say that's not true. Almost all of the in-game video is the same, up to the exact same clips being in slow motion as in the Colin Stanton videos, and the same sequence with the same transition in 6:25-6:45. I can go on, but listing everything would take pages. Not that it's necessarily bad to rearrange and add your own spin to it, but at least own up to it.
***** nah it's not true :)
12:39 well, babies are born from grinding, and they grow up to be champions... is that what you meant?
Thanks for posting this video. What's the name if the first song sir?
You talk about the military back ground of coach Pop giving him intuition. I’m pretty sure that military background didn’t teach him to repeatedly and publicly disrespect the military’s commander in chief. Maybe he should stick to basketball.
Jogo bonito by SAS...
Never said about Manu. Bad
Can you ask about the name of the music?
The Heat hot worned out ftom the Spurs. Unity not super team.
0:54 ¿Que dijiste negro? ojo he.
What's the music?
I like how this was stolen from the Spurs Beautiful Game video.
song?
Wow this video is just a blatant ripoff of "The Beautiful Game." At least find your own clips to use and not recycle all the clips from that video.
Please someone what is this song
please someone whats the song!?!?!?!?
Zack hemsey - I'll find a way
Oliver Bloom
i owe you a hug
Who is talking in the video ?
Jaret Grossman
when you use the same clips over and over and over
