When people ask me who my favorite person to ever watch play the game is, and I answer Ginobili, and they don't understand, I should just show them this video. He was magic.
Damn man 11 years later and this still hurts. Really wished my Pistons would have repeated, I believe they would be looked at differently in the long run. Remember watching this game as a kid. But i cant really be mad becuase we played our heart out and never gave up. It all came down to one game and i feel we got outplayed by one of the best teams in Nba history. Respect for the spurs
San Antonio's starting five is so perfect once you think about it. The paint is COMPLETELY open for Duncan and Parker to operate since Horry and Bowen are dwelling around the three point line. Manu Ginobli still had that explosive step that made him so special. On defense Bowen guards their best player while Ginobli can play quick help defense. Duncan was the initial wall and knew that Horry, who still had a little bounce then, would came for secondary help. Greg Pop. really knows what he is doing.
I'm a Warriors fan but this is my favorite finals outside of the one we just won. I remember both teams everyone could ball. Ginobli, Bowen, Duncan, Parker, Horry.
Some of the highlights when you realize how good were Duncan and Ginobili.Pistons had the best deffence in Nba and Ginobili screwed them with the layups.He was walking in their paint like nothing.What a player
It was the toughest time in my life. I was depressed but being a Spurs fan, I kept hoping they would win to make me feel a little better. I would sleep all day and only woke up to watch sports news on CNN World Sport in the nights. Thank you Timmy, Ginobli, Parker, Horry and the rest. Your win made some difference for me.
we forget how great Ginobli was when he had hair
Duncan is the most underappreciated superstar of all time. He was nearly unstoppable.
This was such a good, underrated Finals. Ugly, but man it was some real, team basketball. These two teams were incredible, titans.
dAMN THIS WAS TEN YEARS AGO I FEEL OLD AS SHIT

10 years later and the spurs are still a contender with the same 3 stars Ginobili, Parker and Duncan and the future star kawhi Leonard
Tim and Manu came up huge in this series. Toughest finals we've ever won.
This was one of greatest final series no one talks about . Only true fans appreciated it.
Manu was a beast in his prime

Duncan using the same post moves in 2005. He burned Ibaka in the Western Conference Finals and Haslem in the NBA Finals using these same moves
I miss Manu so much. Still remember this game 7.

Pistons were that close to repeating! they always get overlooked as one of those special teams

Ever since this 2005 championship loss to the spurs, Detroit pistons hasn't been the same since
This Pistons squad was legit

2 of the best defensive teams I've ever seen, sure not always entertaining, but man some of those games were thrillers, specially game 5.
