[timvp]

High-fiving every Spurs fan who stayed around. Most of the section had cleared out.

Seven years ago?

Still never gets old.

:smokin

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Exactly right above the shot clock in the nose bleed seats. :clap

Jumping up and down like an idiot!!!....

[lefty]

In France; thinking: "a 1st championship soon, I'm feeling it"

[I make banners]

Is that Rodman sitting down?

I was in the family room of the house I grew up in. 15 years old. I was watching the game on TV, but had the sound turned all the way down and was playing the radio broadcast through speakers we had wired between the rooms. I preferred the radio play by play to the discussion of the TV commentators. I think I danced around the house afterwards.

[ZStomp]

At home. I called in to work to watch the game.

It was worth it. :D

[I make banners]

The cops in LA work only 3 days a week Brah! :smokin

[Headon]

I was on Pops head after that last basket!

[G-Nob]

I gave up and went to the furniture store at halftime. I've regretted that ever since.

Is that Bruce (jumping in the foreground)and Mario in a Spurs' uniform at the same time?
Tell me I am wrong but that is not a real photo.
figures...mouse is messing around.

these 2 photos are not the same
This is the real one.
I was at my sister-in-laws house where her family was just as noisy as the Alamodome or so it seemed.

[George Gervin's Afro]

At my dad's house with both of us jumping up and down... :drunk

[101A]

I watched the 1st half at Bjorns on 410 (before they moved out 281), while my wife and I picked out a new system - the comeback occured during the drive home. Got home, set up the stuff, turned on the radio - the very first thing those speaker played was Jay Howard's call "Elliot fires an off-balance three....BAAAAAAANNNNNNGG"

I will NEVER retire this stereo; it is blessed.

The Alamodome

[2centsworth]

in my apartment with my 5month old going buck wild.

[Mr. Body]

Working late for the Texas State Legislature. The one playoff game that year I had to miss.

[FromWayDowntown]

Section 106, Row 31 -- the corner section nearest the Blazers' bench and just about under the overhang.

I literally screamed "NO!" and then "YES!" I hit my fist on the overhang as I jumped up and down high fiving everyone in that section. Somehow, most everyone around us stayed, because the high fiving went on for minutes, it seemed.

Among my more vivid recollections of that day is seeing the sea of people moving towards the exits on the temporary platforms in front of the curtain and saying to the person sitting next to me: "They're going to regret leaving when the Spurs win this sucker." I'm not sure I've ever been so confident about a close game as I was that day.

It still gives me chills.

I was in the very top of section 104 or 106 (I forget which one) near the overhang, and a lot of people left early. I remember Sean was facing our section when he released the shot, if it helps pinpoint the location. I remember we were chest-bumping each other (Mario Elie style) after that shot, and it took forever to get out of the section because everyone was high-fiving everyone (literally... EVERYONE as we left.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Watching it on TV. I just had the feeling we were finally witnessing the Spurs getting over.

[ATX Spur]

Screaming like an idiot in the nosebleeds in the cavernous Alamodome.

[ShoogarBear]

I was watchng on a TV set in a dialysis unit. Which is pretty ironic when you think about who hit the shot.

[tlongII]

This thread sucks ass.

[ShoogarBear]

I was standing in line to buy my tickets for the NBA Finals.

[joeyjfive]

Damn I was in the 5th grade when this happened, me and my friends were watching this at one of their houses and I remember we went retarded when the shot went down.

[shelshor]

Watching in a bar on SE Milwaukee in Portland OR---screaming like a banshee, much to the disgust of all the 'Blazer fans

[King]

On a plane over New Mexico.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Working @ Fiesta Texas at the recording studio. Had the radio going and since people kept coming in to ask what the score was, I finally piped 'OAI into our outside speakers. There was nearly 100 people standing outside our store blocking the walkway to listen to the game and we all went wild when the shot went down. I still remember jumping up and around and high-fiving all the other fans there.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

In the upper deck. Man...how the place went nuts!!!

[LilMissSPURfect]

on the ceiling! .......trying to get as close to GOD as possible...thanking him for bringing me into this world as a SPURS fan!

[T Park]

10 rows behind the Spurs bench going nuts.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jumping up and down in my room here in Brazil

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Screaming like an idiot in the nosebleeds in the cavernous Alamodome.
Hell yeah I can vouch for that. My seats were like second from the last row. But at the same time they were free :D so you ll hear no complaining from me.

[mavs>spurs2]

Sitting at home staring in disbelief wondering how they got so lucky.

[SPURS21]

in the 8th grade watching in my bedroom on my 13' tv
the next day in class know one beleived what had happened, most had turned the game off at half time and didn't witness the memorial day miracle
cant beleive that was almost 8 yrs ago

[LilMissSPURfect]

This thread sucks ass.

thank god nba was free-to-air in australia during that time from the early 90s till late 90s :( and i dont think they showed the playoffs, but they did show the nba finals series that year, which i fuckn enjoyed watchin.

after that no more free-to-air nba coverage :(:(

[Beaverfuzz]

In a bar downtown Portland Oregon. Was betting with a buddy of mine game for game dinner. I made out like a bandit that series.

Blazer fans were devestated, and some were bitching that Sean was out of bounds without seeing the replays.

[Spurminator]

Working Concessions at the AMC Willowbrook in Houston. I recorded the game and watched it that night. Woke up the parents.

[DFW Spurs]

I was in my barracks room while stationed in Virginia surrounded by a bunch of heckling bandwagon Blazer fans. Damn it felt good to see their faces after Sean's three... After the game I threw all of their ass out so I could scream like a little school boy.

They should put a big brass statue of Sean in downtown San Antonio shooting a J.

[SAtown]

I was in an RV in Arkansas struggling to get a good signal on a shitty TV. I was on my way back from the Indy 500 that year, and the day before I had gone to the Pacers/Knicks ECF game 2 with my huge Spurs flag. Everyone kept saying I was in the wrong stadium. I told them I'd see them in the Finals, but we saw the Knicks instead.

There were two heros on this day! One is of course Sean Elliot and the other is Johnny Blaze who brought the magic of the MDM to a large group of fans who would have otherwise missed the experience. That's great karma!

[jman3000]

nosebleed ... from the picture i would have been in the upper left hand side .. but way off... i remember after he hit it i kept on muttering that that was the hardest shot ive ever seen.

[BUMP]

that play existed before the year 2000 so, as a Mav fan i have no idea what play that was.

nah, but i was rooting for the Spurs to win because they were down by a lot, and were coming back. i always will root for the team that's down by a lot to make an impressive comeback.

[Brutalis]

at my grandma's freaking out in disbelief

[cbinge]

went to game 1 but not game 2, living room in south Austin for the memorial day miracle. I had moved to Austin from San Antonio in April 99 after living there for every spurs season since they started. I still think I had to move out of town for them to win a championship.

[ShoogarBear]

Does anyone have an audio file of the radio call? I don't think I've ever heard that before.

[Obstructed_View]

I was in my lucky spot on the couch, where I spent every game that I watched at home during the '99 season. The house was still echoing my screams of "No, no, Sean! YES!" :)

I have it somewhere. I'll post up if I can find it. I listened to it a million times. I also have the audio of Russ announcing the Spurs getting Duncan; also one of my favorites.
