1998-99 San Antonio Spurs: Go Spurs Go! Part 2/4

- San Antonio struggled in the first month of the lockout-shortened season. But once the Spurs hit their stride, nobody could block their path to the franchise's first NBA title.
The Spurs clinched the championship on Avery Johnson's jumper with 47 seconds left in Game 5 of the Finals, giving San Antonio a 78-77 victory over the New York Knicks. Tim Duncan averaged 27.4 points, 14 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in the series and was named Finals MVP.
Duncan's fellow Twin Tower, David Robinson, also made his presence known. The perennial All-Star, in his 10th season with the Spurs, averaged 16.6 points, 11.8 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in the Finals as San Antonio became the first former ABA team to win the NBA title.
One of the most compelling story lines came to light after the season ended. Starting forward Sean Elliott revealed that he had played despite needing a kidney transplant. Elliott, who was battling a rare kidney disease, received the transplant Aug. 16. His brother Noel donated the kidney.
Elliott averaged 33.8 minutes in 17 playoff games and was responsible for the "Memorial Day Miracle." On that play, he tiptoed the sideline to stay inbounds before hitting a three-pointer with nine seconds left, lifting the Spurs to an 86-85 win over Portland in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.
San Antonio's championship season had an inauspicious beginning as the Spurs went 6-8 in February. But the players eventually settled into a groove, and the team got a spark when veteran swingman Mario Elie joined the starting lineup. The Spurs went 31-5 after their slow start and they raced through the postseason with a 15-2 record.
Duncan was named to the All-NBA First Team for the second year in a row. He was the only NBA player to finish in the top 10 in scoring (21.7 ppg, sixth), rebounds (11.4 rpg, fifth), blocks (2.52, seventh) and field goal percentage (.495, 10th).

1:36 I love that moment when Dave no-look flicks off Garnett like a fly.
10:56 - watch the genuine look of happiness on the faces of security in the stands. Truly a hometown team.

as the old adage goes..."Beware the wrath of the patient man..."
I remember that Knicks team!! Lol loved them
اذكرها المباراه هذي واخذوا البطولة ذيك السنه واذكر قو سبيرز قو شكرا ياصاحب المقطع مع اني عارف محد داري وش انا كاتب الا اذا مر واحد عربي من هنا 😄
Classic!! They rose up from horrible and came together!! Forget the haters!! They did it!!
Did the Memorial Day Miracle by Sean Elliott happen on the same day as Grandmama's 4-point play against Indiana?
1:31 David Robinson vs. Joe Smith. One of the all-time great top-overall picks against one of the worst draft busts in history.
at least kg got his ring with the celts :)
Boy oh boy i remember Robinson getting pissed in that timberwolves series!! David just pushed Garnett without even lookin at him, whooo u dnt wanna piss off the Admiral!!!!
7:05 SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!
At 2:46, it makes me laugh so much! It's like Kobe Bryant has now become Dr. No-Do-Gooder while chewing his gum away----AH-HA-HA-HA-HAA!!!
Your right David did treat Garnett like a little bity ass kid.
Funny how excited he knicks and their fans were to be going to the finals, in that shortened season. But after spurs won it, all of a sudden its not a "real" chamionship blah blah. Any team that year and their fans would have loved to have won the title that year 50 game season or 82 game season. I hate how people put down the spurs winning it that season when they would have gone crazy if their team won it.
