Suns Vs. Spurs 1998 Playoffs Game #1

Raw video VHA footage in an era before social media invaded the NBA and dismantled the physicality of the league. Let me introduce you to the 1998 NBA playoffs between the Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs. A young rookie name Tim Duncan lead the way with 32 pts and 10 rebounds. This game displayed the extreme high level half court game with countless post up moves and grown man physicality in the paint led by David Robinson, Jaren Jackson, father of current NBA player #jarenjacksonjr Jackson Jr. #Memphis Grizzles, Will Purdue, #Cliff Robison, # Antonio McDyess, #Mark Bryant. Lets not forgot the ultimate guard play of #Jason Kidd, #Avery Johnson,#Kevin(Dunk on Hakeem Olajuwon)Johnson, #Steve Nash, #Dennis Scott, #Chuck "Shotgun"Person who is known for talking trash to #Larry Bird during their duel in the 1991 Pacers and Boston playoffs. Please pay attention to elements that are very much extinct in todays (2023 - Continue) NBA and basketball culture, such as: #Midrange Jumpshot, #Post moves, #Less dribble to get to the basket, #Big Bulky Power Forwards, #Massive Size Centers, #Position player power Forwards. This era of basketball was non tainted with massive amounts of dribbling and half court threes because players did not have the energy due to playing actual defense. Jason Kidd exemplified defense in this game and he played the point guard position. Keven Durant once said that, "the 90s NBA was physical and they got away with more fragrant fouls and that was the difference between the era." He is right, however he forgot to mention the massive size of all 400 players in the league were more mass was in the paint unlike todays, faster and wayyyyyyy slimmer players. Like boxing!!!!!! weight and mass matters. #DO NOT COMPARE ERAs.

Spurs starting three centers is crazy

[@flowboricua2366]

Danny manning (six man of the year) injury affect the aspiration of the suns that year

[@georgestamatakis697]

It didn't make any difference that year. His injury in 1995 deprived the Suns of a shot at the title.
