Duncan Leads Spurs To 3rd Championship In Franchise History |  

Honestly I feel like its because America hates cities like Detroit and Baltimore

It's underrated cause of the ratings that year, whenever the Spurs were in the finals in the 2000's ratings were down

It's cause the spurs were never flashy

Of course! The Spurs are involved

Best defensive NBA finals series ever from both team. Defense vs defense

If you like bricks and ugly offense. This was the worst game 7 in NBA Finals history.

@@chrisuncleahmad you obviously dont know anything about defense and how it affects offense, go watch golf.

SocksOnFeet forgive me if you will, but I prefer teams that can score at least 90 in a game

Prime Timmy was almost bald Timmy

pretty sure it was Duncan who always looked like a 40 year old

Vol deMort the days are long but the decades are short

@Mr. Roderick. First Name mate so true im only 28 and im starting to go bald.. Fuck..

Mr. Roderick. First Name lost my hair at 21.

That's tough man!

Dusk TheHunter it was a first it truly was. But as time passes you actually start to love the low cut/bald look. ESP with the beard. Confidence, that’s the most attractive thing my brother.

they offense sucks is not good def

jayblocks1 yep it’s all about offense nowadays just run and try to our score your opponent not stop them

Can 12 year olds stop acting like they watched basketball at this time? The NBA is fine right now, just shut up and stop finding something to complain about.

Ignorant PosT bro you’re ignorant as fuck, possessions per game 3 point attempts per game and game scores are at an all time high people like fast paced and high scoring games lets not pretended that isn’t what the nba is giving us. As consumers and lovers of the game we have every right to have an opinion about it

@@lakeshow24mvphof I'm not denying that the NBA is different, and more fast paced, I'm just saying that people are complaining about nothing, defense isn't worse, offense is just better than it used to be, people have realized that the 3 point shot is more effective than mid-range, better offense does mean better defense.

I agree. I'm a bulls fan and they're one of my favorite rosters ever

Blair Nading lakers deafeated pistons in 2020

And that set the pattern for the Jazz to sweep the Pistons every season for not allowing Mailman to have a chip in his hand during in his final year in Lakers.

theyre also one of my favorite rosters because on any given night whether its sheed or prince or rip or chauncey any one of them could go off for 40, and they played like a TEAM. i miss when it was a make up of guys that were all special and not just two super star line ups like we have now in the NBA.

lAnd they were bested by a 22 yr old Lebron James in 6 games 2 years later

amazing to watch? If you like turnovers, fouls, whistles, and bricks. This was the worst game 7 in NBA Finals history.

Knights of Ran facts!

@@chrisuncleahmad yeah, well, that’s just like uh, your opinion man.

@@chrisuncleahmad salty pistons fan? Lol

@@msytuser Nah. I rooted against both teams.

he is top 5 ever. i have MJ, Magic, Kareem, Tim and Larry bird in my top 5

@@00Mindi00 he carried his peeps to a finals against the spurs super team without anyone and smoked the pistons superteam all at age 23

@@00Mindi00 and carried his team to beat the number one high school team in the country

this series just reminds me of that jim rome radio show moment where a caller tells a story about larry brown and his his huge chunk right in his face when he turned around in the locker room of a gym one time in the 90's and this call is from 2005...

Larry Brown took a bad Clippers team to the playoffs and then took the Pacers to the brink of the NBA Finals as a number 5 seed. He also coached a 6th seeded Kansas Jayhawks team to a National Championship. He is the perfect coach for teams that feel they have a chip on their shoulder. It's unfortunate that he went to the Knicks. If he stayed in Detroit it's likely they don't fall apart against the Wade, Lebron, and KG and win another NBA title.

Mad fouls against pistons in the 1st half, clearly favoring the cheating spurs

Your Pistons were the first time I truly didn't know if my Spurs were going to win the Finals. 🍻

This is also my first time watching since 05. Lifelong Pistons fan here also.

@@ivanfranceschi9139 especially how they disposed of and broke up the Lakers ..yall had big shot Bob

Had to suck to lose that one. As a Spurs fan Game 5 felt like it took years off my life and it's still really hard to go back and watch the 2013 Finals when the Spurs were similarly close to a title and had it snatched away by Ray Allen, Wade, Shane Battier, and LeBron.

He was the best this game

Wished they won back to back

It’s rightly rated

bigman I tbh it was the reason they lost. If you look at it rasheed and mcdyess got their 4th foul in their 3rd quarter they put prince at the 4 and Duncan started cooking. If these 2 wouldn’t have fouled so much then I truly believe they would have won it

@Killucifer Almighty You sound mad. Go have some ice cream

@@LebronJames-bj3yu over-aggressivess was a problem on Chauncey's part. His foul trouble was a problem, but the Sheed and McDyess played the game right. They were doing their best to bottle up the greatest pf of all time. In a road playoff game, you're gonna get called for more, but you gotta do what you gotta do. It was actually a major coaching blunder sunk them in the 3rd. Larry Brown outcoached himself by taking McDyess out. It's game 7 and he's a bench player. Ideally, you're not expecting to put him back in the game anyway after the 3rd so just let him play it out as long as possible, then throw Sheed back in. Best case scenario, you don't miss a minute with either guy on the floor. Worst case is, you still end up missing them at some point but you gave your team the best chance to win for as long as possible. Instead LB gimped the team defensively for nothing. It happens though. Great coaches hurt their teams on the biggest stages just like anyone.

@Killucifer Almighty get out, racist

To this day i wish my Pistons would've went back to back

That’s what I’m hoping for

Our 21 year streak will not die yet!

@Killucifer Almighty Alright, we see your name. We get it, you're fake woke, so feel free to stfu now.

@Killucifer Almighty ok 2 freethrows for you

IM THE 420TH LIKE AND IM A SPURS FAN BADASS DUDE!

Blackbean Burger two defensive teams, so none of that plus the players in this game were almost a little part of the old school physical era

AB21. Lmao when the rockets had 90 points in the first half. That was crazy

the basketball playing nowadays is trash though

Yeah, more talented players nowadays.

@@nickwarriordiaz Ain't that right, you fucking dumbass. Lol

@@TheRafaelBond Easily I just can't see many benche players from the past making a roster today.

Fuck u! You still lost u asshole

@Bruno Fawks Well the Heat did beat the Spurs in 2013. That rivalry was a bit too short in my opinion.

@Bruno Fawks What's your team?

Sherman Ng he’s saying that the spurs won the heat in the finals that’s his team

@@shermanngjazz Heats was clutch in 2013, if Spurs had won that series, I wondered if they would have went back to back?

@@MT-eo5vy OKC and Spurs played against each other in 2012 and 2013 playoffs.

I miss good Nba defense

Mr Quarantine why that’s boring now is way better

@@loganh7843 They were pretty much worse scoring

@@MT-eo5vy not even close. Chucking 40 3s a game and calling every tic tac foul is not better.

CPGoat #3 I know I agree 😂😂

Hauger Tim Duncan is American is he not?

Duncan, Parker and Ginobili: in that order

Jamar Hunt super gay

@@montanacorp right!

Ong

Think thats his brother too haha

Brent was like "only my wife hugs me like that"! haha

As a Spurs fan I remember watching Game 1 and seeing the Pistons jump to that 17-4 lead and just thinking I can't even be mad, the Pistons are just a ridiculous team. Will always be thankful to Glenn Robinson for coming in and settling the team down with three huge blocks in the first quarter to cool down that red hot Detroit offense.

NBA right now is BETTER

@@MT-eo5vy the competition is better, but the gameplay isn't as intense. No defense and a bunch of 3s now and days.

@@MT-eo5vy Hell No!!!!! The NBA sucks now everyone wants to throw up 3,s and play No defense at all, and no post play and overall the NBA is SOFT!!!! Right now

@@MT-eo5vy the nba is better now? you must be born after 1999. the nba is far from better now with teams made up of 2 superstars surrounded by a cast of misfits jacking up 3s and playing 0 defense. you must be a child and never saw the real NBA.

Was it really a great time in basketball? Back then the West was an overrated conference of pretenders other than the Lakers or Spurs. Literally only 2 teams outside of the 2006 Mavs made it every year for a decade.

And brick offenses. This series was unwatchable

​@@chrisuncleahmadYou were clearly born after 2015

@@billycausgrove9657don’t be mad half these players couldn’t cut a roster spot in todays era. Inefficient mid range bricks lmao and sloppy ball handling.

Why it sucked

Sj S no it didn’t sorry to say better than this shitty year

Lebron James other than the suspension it’s been a great year

@@MT-eo5vy you sucked your finger

@Thomas Sankara Sankara would never have this anti-communist talk.

No one ever talks about it, they definitely need to bring it back

@@justinbear7862 yes they do but i heard the nba players complaining that they were sliding on the court thats they removed it

bigman passing in general is underated. Which is why I'm confused as to why people be on jokics dick so heavy like there hasnt ever been bigmen that pass like him.

@@TheIcemanthomas Cause he's fat. More relatable to fans. Also he's the best passing big man since Bill Walton so that too.

Mo Abu so every just erased kg, Vlade Divac, Boris Diaw,. Duncan, joakim Noah, both gasol brothers,and Sabonis from their memories huh?

CPGoat #3 Dude Jokic makes outlet passes and shit your right he’s not the first of his kind but he’s a different breed for sure. The nugget literally base their entire offense off of his passing ability he’s a PG in a big mans body

Although I will say he can’t be the best passing big man of all time until he does more in the playoffs

I'd probably say he was the best player on that team, Kawhi was just more impactful in that series due to circumstance. This postseason was actually the one title run where I think Manu was their MVP throughout it, maybe not in the Finals (arguably, though), but I give him the edge in this run. Guy was just so efficient and impactful.

He is objectively top 6. Him, Curry, Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, Shaq are objectively the best basketball players ever.

In my book is top 6 1. Jordan 2. Kareem 3. Magic 4. Bill 5. Wilt 6. Duncan 7. Bird 8. Curry 9. Olajuwon 10. Shaq

Its sad that no one mentions Tim Duncan played with an all-time great coach, Manu, Tony, Kawhi, Bowen, David Robinson.

@@conflicto7575 If the all time leading scorer isn’t in ur top 10 ur a casual

This was the worst 7 game NBA Finals ever. An unwatchable muck and slog of a series.

@@chrisuncleahmad That is your opinion. I remember watching that game 7 with my best friend, his dad and brother. We all agreed it was one of the best game 7's we seen in a long time. We all had watched NBA basketball since the 1970's. Not saying you are wrong, because it is your preference. Remember, everyone has an opinion on what kind of game they like. I personally love defensive games. I much rather watch a 17-10 Super Bowl where others rather see a 42-35 game.

@@anthonyzarate9807 There’s a fine line between 17-10 and 6-3. Heck, I don’t think a 20-17 game is bad. A 7-6 game with only 1 touchdown OTOH is not good football.

Same for me. Been watching for 13!

@@chrisuncleahmad Go back to your soft 3-point shooting series then. This series is for people who know the game of basketball. It was a man's game back then before Curry feminized basketball.

Right!

Yep. Made 5 Finals with Duncan/Parker/Manu on the team & Pop as coach (with Kawhi there for 2). The Warriors made 5 Finals with Steph/Klay/Draymond on the team & Kerr as coach (with KD there for 3). Lebrons teams played those 2 teams in a combined 7 Finals. So silly the haters hold his team losing to those teams. Harder to dominant when there are 2-3 great teams in the league. Easier to dominant when ur the only 1 (from '92-'98 the Bulls were the only great team.... great teams keep making Finals not just get to 1 or 2).

2003-2005 the spurs pistons dominated the nba....their defense was next level

Curry kd klay better than spurs one i think

stu scott john saunders snapper jones..still can't believe they are all dead

two coaches who know each other very well past 2 champions

No cap detroit for life baby

I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me

@@gavingibson7471 should be a "forgot password" option

that wasn't full court defense. that was bricks and crappy offense. Spurs/Pistons was THE most unwatchable Finals. Worst 7 game series ever.

@@chrisuncleahmad ....and you don't think defensive pressure played a part in that???

Makes me think too bro

But imagine how duncan put the pressure on detroits defense too he is the one who makes all those open shots

Only if you think defense, rebounding and playmaking doesn't matter.

Look at the final score 20 and 14 not good enough?

Statistically, it was close. But Duncan still set the table.

Thank goodness

This was a game I’d rather sleep through.

It's just you. This is a game I'd rather sleep through. This isn't a Hardwood Classic. This is a hardwood borefest.

I don’t miss the days when teams basically couldn’t score 40 points in a half

@@chrisuncleahmad yea, who wouldn't enjoy people chugging balls in the basket randomly and hope for the best percentage!

Was that great defene or awful offense?

@@chrisuncleahmad you do realize that these two teams are some of the best defensive teams of all time right?

@@msytuser and two of the worst offensive teams of all time

​@@chrisuncleahmad neither of them would have been in the championship if they both had the worst offenses of all time and not an all time great defense.

Emmylou fumera norton finals MVP in my book, only one that could generate offense for San Antonio

Gurdeep Singh manu is overrated!!!!

So good they were in a game 7 lol

Gurdeep Singh ignoring tim Duncan’s defends and rebounding?

Don't forget Bowen and Horry!

Yo I’m a Knick fan that’s a lot tougher

Probably because it was the last time you were ever gonna see their magical defense.

I am thinking about rip Hamilton missing that layup and travel lol

I still watch the 2013 series as a spurs fan and tell myself the same thing lmao. Good thing is we both can go one year over and watch our teams win it all.

Allen Iverson averaging a 40 in the final round against Kobe and Shaq is massive

@akzepihC boB we need HD quality of this match

Not when you consider that he's the only one chucking shots for his team.

Jonathan Reed they’re not gonna show malice at the palace because the NBA wants everyone to forget about it

lol
