TP's 55 point performance vs the T-Wolves
Manu stealing the inbounds pass in Boston
Manu dunk on Hilton Armstrong

George Hill playing well in place of Tony Parker
Parker's buzzer beater vs Philly.
Pops Mensah Bonsu's performance in the Cavs game (too bad he didnt last)

[spursfan1000]

I liked Parkers buzzert beater against Philly, Masons buzzert beaters, manus block and parkers 55.

[raspsa]

Duncan coming to life in OT of the last game of the season.

[baseline bum]

1) Tony's 55 in Minnesota
2) Roger's game-winner vs LA
3) Fin's three to force OT vs NO

[duncan228]

Spurs at Clippers March 2. The entire game. And especially the pregame. :)

[spursfan1000]

Actually I would say Mason hitting the buzzert beater against Phoenix on Christmas to win the game.

[Yorae]

Ime's reverse jam.......Uhm no, Manu's dunk on paris hilton.

[Trimble87]

Toss up between the last shot in regulation against NOLA that Finley hit. For the obv ious reason that it kept our HCA hopes alive.

Manus block on D-Wade. Because it was simply amazing.

[Spurs Brazil]

1 - TP 55 pts
2 Mason 3 at Phoenix
3 - Mason 2 against LA

[remingtonbo2001]

There were a lot of buzzer beaters this year, more so than usual.

The LA game was pretty awesome, but I'd say beating PHX on Christmas.

[ManuTP9]

Masons Buzzer beaters those were thrilling

[AussieFanKurt]

hasnt this thead already been done?
wait almost all threads have been done

George Hill got tangled up with Marcus Camby. Camby gave Hill the brush-off with one arm, and faced up on Hill - he was trying to intimidate the rookie. Hill didn't back off an inch. But the best part was that Tim came over to keep an eye on things, like somebody's big brother at a schoolyard fight. Camby couldn't see Duncan standing off to the side, but Timmy was giving him the evil eye with his face pointed downward, and his eyeballs just showing at the top of his eye sockets. He looked like he was doing a re-make of The Exorcist.

It was cool that Hill wasn't intimidated by Marcus Camby. It was very cool that Duncan had his back. And his evil-eye look was priceless.

Second place would be when Pop had Michael Finley do a Hack-A-Shaq in the first couple of seconds of the season. The looks on Shaq's face, first before and then after he figured out it was a joke. It was a beautiful gag by Pop.

Oh, and there was some really good basketball along the way, too.

[superbigtime]

Manu block on D-Wade, Mason's Christmas Day shot over PHX, Manu dunk against New Orleans' Armstrong.

[TDomination]

I won't pick my favorite since all of them have been listed, but here are others that I enjoyed.

-Parkers cross-over against Barbosa
-Manu kissing both Ian and Bowen
-Spurs players being in the Bulls huddle near the end of the game while Del Negro tries to draw up a play.
-Duncans horrible fast break attempt against the Wolves (early in the year) that ended with him jumping in the air, not knowing what to do, so he shot it. It hit nothing but backboard. Luckily, Parker was there to get the rebound and lay it back in.

[Chieflion]

Hack a Shaq in the 1st 5 seconds of the NBA season. That must have been a record.

[SpursDynasty]

The Mason-to-Finley 3 pointer against New Orleans was the best moment of this regular season.

I had a feeling you were going to post that one. :D

Seeing Duncan in person for the first time is always going to be what stands out for me from this season. It was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. It was perfect, from getting to watch him work pregame to getting his autograph to him playing after missing games the week before. And he had a great game on top of it. It was incredible. And the whole thing was a gift from someone I don't know. That made it even sweeter.

Sharing it with SpursTalk was the icing. Having the story on Spurs.com the cherry. There's nothing that happened on the court this season that can top that game for me. :)

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Any time Manu was not playing.

No doubt best moment of the year.

[VBM]

Made that much better by Kobe doing his Sam Cassell "Big Nuts" dance moments before

[HarlemHeat37]

no mention of Bowen's free throws vs. Phoenix..one of the funniest moments in Spurs history..

[GabeIsGone]

how about George Hill's total shutdown of Nash in the 4th quarter?

[lurker23]

Mason's 3 on Christmas Day, as well as his And-1 against the Lakers.

The introduction of George Hill to the basketball world. Fun to have a rookie.

Matt Bonner's year in general, but especially his game in Boston.

All of Tony Parker's spectacular drives to the basket, but especially this one:
