Your ten favorite Tim Duncan moments

[baseline bum]

Here's mine....

10. Tim isolates the DPOY, Ben Wallace, on the left block, runs right past him, and dunks on him with his right hand while knocking him over in a 2004 matchup.

9. Tim Duncan catches the ball on the left baseline, fakes Chris Dudley with his left hand, spins all the way right, and throws a textbook bank shot up and in with his right hand in the 99 Finals at Madison Square Garden. I think it was game 3, but it might have been 5.

8. With the game tied and about 7-8 seconds left, the Spurs get the ball to Duncan at the left elbow, where he's isolated on Nowitzki, faces up, and buries the game winner in his face with about a second left (and Dallas had no timeouts to advance the ball thanks to some great coaching by Don Nelson :lmao)
... this was back in the 2001-02 season.

7. Tim sticks a shot over Garnett to go up 4 with maybe 10 seconds left in the game to seal a Spurs win in game 1 of their 2001 series, and then does a retard-looking dance as he runs back up the floor.

6. Tim Duncan sticks the game winner at the buzzer (from down 1 point) in Karl Malone's face, and then turns and heckles the crowd at the Delta Center in the 2003 season.

5. Tim Duncan catches an alley-oop from an inbounds play in Milwaukee in 98, and proceeds to fall on his ass on the way down (after the dunk) :lol

4. Game 1 of the 2004 series with LA, the Spurs have just made a pretty sizable comeback against the paper champions, and they're up 2 or 4, with a minute or so left in the game. Tony Parker has the ball, Duncan's posted on the left block, and Tony starts jumping up and down, waving Tim over and shouting at him to come set a screen. Tim comes, Parker goes left, Shaq and Payton try to trap him, but he hands the ball off to Tim, who hands it off back to TP, while making a move to a spot a couple of steps off the left block. Shaq and Payton commit to Tony, who passes the ball off to Tim for a sick bank shot, and then they jump up and chest bump while LA has to call a timeout. I've never in my life seen a pick and roll run better than in that one play.

3. Tim hits the insane fallaway over Malone and Shaq in game 5 of the 2004 series with 0.4 seconds left, which caps off a drive from 15 down in the third in a must-win. By the way, fuck Derek Fisher. :lol

2. Tim Duncan hits a jumpshot from Bowen's spot on the baseline to give the Spurs a six point lead with 4:30 left in game 7 of the 2005 Finals. Post players aren't supposed to be able to hit those, especially in the fourth quarters of game sevens.

1. Tim Duncan goes up for a layup, misses, gets the rebound, misses again, gets the board back, and says fuck it, and goes up strong and dunks on Karl Malone and Greg Ostertag in the next to last home game of the 1999 season.

[Marcus Bryant]

The vicious throwdown in Game 3(?) of the '04 WCSF.

[johnpaulwall21]

6. Tim Duncan sticks the game winner at the buzzer (from down 1 point) in Karl Malone's face, and then turns and heckles the crowd at the Delta Center in the 2003 season.

I was suprised when he started messin with the crowd, it looked like he was givin them the fingers.
i wish i could see all ur top 10 on footage :(

[timvp]

Damn, that's a good list. The play you listed as number one encapsulates everything that is Tim Duncan.

Off the top of my head, the only one I can think of that I would add would be that spin move and dunk on Shaq in Game 6 of the 2003 WCSF. Shaq asked to be put on Duncan and that one move ended that hope.

[baseline bum]

I forgot that dunk in game 3 in LA, but it was in the 03 series... what about the shot he hit to win game 2 against LA in 99? As soon as he saw Rice come in from the left side to double, he spun right and dropped the winner over JR Reid.

[baseline bum]

When in the game did that happen? I'm drawing a blank. I actually have the DVD of that game in my 360 right now. :lol

[johnpaulwall21]

I would put up that fastbreak dunk he had all over AK-47's face, i think it was in the
04 season........

[timvp]

I'd also add one of the plays from Game 1 of the 1998 playoffs against the Suns. The way he played in the second half of that game showed how special he was. Perhaps the sequence where he blocked Hot Rod Williams three times in a row.

[timvp]

First couple minutes of the third quarter, IIRC.

[mookie2001]

game 6 03 finals where he made kenyon martin cry

That's probably my favorite game of Tim's career, although game 5 of the 99 Finals is close.

[timvp]

That's probably my favorite game of Tim's career, although game 5 of the 99 Finals is close.

Yeah, that was an awesome game. At halftime I think he had four points and I remember thinking to myself that maybe Tim Duncan just isn't a playoff player.

Then the second half happened.

:fro

[johnpaulwall21]

Then the second half happened.

:fro

does anyone know his stat line for that game?

[timvp]

does anyone know his stat line for that game?

32 points, 10 rebounds. I'm pretty sure he had 28 of the 32 points after halftime.

[E20]

WTF is the Edge commerical at? :wtf

[Kori Ellis]

My favorite Tim Duncan regular season game was when David got ejected with 3 minutes left in the 4th against the Trailblazers (March 2000?). Spurs were down by 7 when the ejection happened.

When David left the court, Tim became a freakin monster. The Spurs went on something like a 12-0 run, capped by Duncan doing a between the legs dribble and nailing an 18 foot fadeaway with about 30 seconds to go. Spurs won by 4. Duncan had 36 and 15.

[phyzik]

Even though it brings back bad memories, my favorite TD moment was against the Lakers in 2005 right before the .4... That had to be his best clutch shot ever.

If it wasnt for .4 (which by the way, according to the RULES was impossible at the time) that would probably be one of the highlights of his career.

[SsKSpurs21]

i wish i could see all ur top 10 on footage :(

I know we are not allowed to post links so ill tell you how to watch most of them.

go to youtube and type in Yinka Dare - Tim Duncan

That game was great. I remember David accidentally hit one of the refs, and his ejection got Tim mad as fuck... plus, this was back when Portland was a really good team.

[timvp]

Nothing worked on Duncan in the fourth quarter, when he had 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting. He made five field goals and two free throws to account for all the scoring in a 12-6 run that brought the Spurs from behind.

[Kori Ellis]

That game was great. I remember David accidentally hit one of the refs, and his ejection got Tim mad as fuck... plus, this was back when Portland was a really good team.

Yeah when David got ejected, fire almost came out of Tim's eyes he was so pissed off :lol

I love that game. And yeah, Portland was good - they had already beat the Spurs twice that season.

[SsKSpurs21]

my favorite tim duncan moment

sitting in the stands, watching Tim get his 31st block shot of the series (new finals record) along with 21points 20 rebounds 10 assists 8 blocks in a title clinching game 6.

:lmao

Man, that is classic. I don't remember that one though... was that game 4? I was sitting in front of the Dome for Finals tickets during it, so I never got to see it.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Awesome! :D
There's one called Tim Duncan-Remix by Misti Lynn that's pretty good on there too.

[ShoogarBear]

May 15, 2003. Game 6 of the WCSF.

37 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assist, 2 blocks, and one cryin' Kobe.

[ceds]

Im 90% sure TD was the first player to pass to himself off the backboard and dunk it in a game. It was definetly before tmac started to do it in 99

During his rookie year he threw the ball off the far right side of the back board from the free throw line when he was doubled and dunked it off the rebound all in one motion. It was against the rockets and was a top 5 nba action play for the year, by far my favourite duncan throw down.
The clip is somewhere on youtube, im too lazy to do a search though

[Amuseddaysleeper]

my favorite game of tim's career was probably game 6 of the 2003 NBA Finals

he nearly had a quadruple double that game.

[Mark in Austin]

Two things I noticed watching the yinka dare mix:

Tim Duncan fucking OWNS the Jazz, and

Tim isn't nearly as athletic as he used to be.

[sghspurs]

damn that video brought back a ton of great memories.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Tim saying, coldly,

“I have nothing to say to Mark Cuban. Not a thing.”

when a reporter asked, jokingly, if he had any San Antonio restaurant recommendations for Mark Cuban, during the 2006 playoffs.

[duncan228]

Duncan impresses me in every game, win or lose. His big moments in Playoffs and Finals are incredible but one of my favorites is from a regular season game. February 28, 2005. Game winning shot at the buzzer in Cleveland. It's also on YouTube.

[Clutch20]

10. When we won Timmy in the lottery.

9. When Tim visited us in SA for his first time.

8. When Tim-FUN-(da-medals) popped out from behind stage at central plaza
looking awesomely young and confident and ready to play ball in his
official, future home away from home

7. When Tim signed with Spurs

6. When Tim stayed with Spurs

5. When Tim won for Spurs as consistently as his play and stats were

4. When Tim went to a gaming company and demonstrated his 3 point prowess

3. When Tim went to New York and became almost as respected as DRob

2. When Tim didn't cry like others once had as they went down in defeat

1. When Tim stayed being Tim no matter what

[Timmy!]

When Timmy made road-kill out of Jack Niece. :blah

[KB24]

3. Tim hits the insane fallaway over Malone and Shaq in game 5 of the 2004 series with 0.4 seconds left, which caps off a drive from 15 down in the third in a must-win. By the way, fuck Derek Fisher. :lol



CLASSIC!!!!!

[johnpaulwall21]

When Timmy made road-kill out of Jack Niece. :blah

who da hell is that? :wakeup

[Texas_Ranger]

When he was drafted by the Spurs.

[cheguevara]

this thread is bringing a tear to my eye!

The best part is Duncan is still dominating as of today

[Spurs Brazil]

Game 6 of 2003 Finals

Perfect game

[sprrs]

Ha yeah I was at that game. Wasn't he shooting a free throw though, and just missed horribly but got back and dunked it?

[LilMissSPURfect]

anyone have a link to see his majesty in action?

I HAVE THAT VIDEO KORI, TOO BAD I CAN'T POST IT ON HERE...

[Kori Ellis]

I HAVE THAT VIDEO KORI, TOO BAD I CAN'T POST IT ON HERE...


Yeah, you can't. :lol

Everyone knows how to find clips/mixes of NBA video. So to the others describing where to go to get them, that's the same as linking to them. Just stop with it.

[duncan228]

I'm sorry Kori. I know better and I fully respect and agree with the rules of this forum. I got caught up in the mentioning of where to see it. It won't happen again.

[angel_luv]

I liked that time in the 2005 play offs when Timmy fouled out ( forget which series) but before he left the court pulled out the guys together and gave them a pep talk- told them to finish out the win or whatever.

It was a great leadership moment.

[Timmy!]

who da hell is that? :wakeup

Sorry....Jack Nies

[Ockham]

One of my absolute favorites was when the Seattle fans cheered as Duncan appeared to have hurt his ankle in the 2005 series. He promptly stood up, paced a bit with one of the most intense looks I've ever seen from him, and proceeded to eliminate the Sonics from the playoffs, capped by his layup on an assist from Manu.

I think I woke up my entire neighborhood when he sank that layup.

[SoCalSpursFan]

When we drafted Tim Duncan and I realized there was a god.

[UtownSpur]

That is my favorite TD moment as well! Tim became a beast and just ate the Blazers up.

[mavs>spurs2]

The look on his face after this years semifinals was priceless.

[ShoogarBear]

So was the look on his face after the refs gave him a sixth foul because Dirk stepped on his foot.

That's probably the most memorable Dirk Nowitzki moment, too. That or the time the officials gave him some extra time so he could win the three point shootout. Or the time when he flopped and the refs gave him some free throws.

Now we've pretty much covered the top 145 most memorable Dirk moments.

[sandeepgm]

Nice mix of duncan's by the yinka dare guy. He seems to have lost some of his athleticism now...

Don't get mad it's ok

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What about when he blocked kenyon martin, martin went up again, got blocked, martin went up again, got blocked, martin went up again, and the refs felt sorry and finally called a foul on Tim, sometime during the 2003 finals?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Here's mine....

10. Tim isolates the DPOY, Ben Wallace, on the left block, runs right past him, and dunks on him with his right hand while knocking him over in a 2004 matchup.

About your number 4....I remember that play vividly, but I thought we were already up by three or four scores by then...are you sure about the score?

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao hahaha that was too insanely funny. :lol :lol

[ShoogarBear]

There was also that time, after one of his title-clinching wins, Tim was so pumped he hit a random inanimate object with a force so mighty it immediately disintegrated into a quadrillion atoms. Unfortunately there were no cameras around to record the event.

Has Dirk had a moment anything like that?

[dirk4mvp]

:lol anything negative about tim and it gets deleted. w00t

I will say that was a nice shot he hit against the Lakers in '0.4

He kicked a stationary bike. :lol

Umm.. yeah it's a thread for Spurs fans (or anyone who appreciates him) about Tim's best moments. If you don't understand that, then you are dumber than I've always thought. Keep your freakin' trolling in the troll forum.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

May 15, 2003. Game 6 of the WCSF.

37 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assist, 2 blocks, and one cryin' Kobe.
hear, hear!

[team-work]

Among the rare display of Tim's emotion, I could remember these 2 vividly:

1. In the last game of the 2003 Finals, Tim missed a layup, got the offensive rebound, and then scored the layup under the resistance of Mutombo and someone else (couldn't remember who). Then Duncan yelled, with his arms across his chest, David Robinson also raised his right arm in support.

2. In Game 2 of the 2005 WCSF, Tim yelled with 1 arm across his chest after he scored.

[johnpaulwall21]

:worthy: TIM DUNCAN :hungry:

[SpursFanInAustin]

I liked that time in the 2005 play offs when Timmy fouled out ( forget which series) but before he left the court pulled out the guys together and gave them a pep talk- told them to finish out the win or whatever.

It was a great leadership moment.

Game 4 at Denver in 2005 :)

[polandprzem]

What about when he blocked kenyon martin, martin went up again, got blocked, martin went up again, got blocked, martin went up again, and the refs felt sorry and finally called a foul on Tim, sometime during the 2003 finals?


Well of it was not for refs Tim would have quadruple-double in that G6
:pctoss

[unnosy]

ssk, r u nigerian? cos your name is definately nigerian

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I like when Tim owned Ben Wallace and Ben fell to the ground.

I also liked when Tim hit the game winner against Cleveland in 2004 I think.

I also liked Tim's game 7 performance in 2005. It wasn't the prettiest game, but he had a lot of heart, because i think that was when he wasn't the most confident in himself.

[MrChug]

#1. The time that Tim Duncan missed his assignment on Dwight Howard and get dunked on to lose the Magic game on February 9th, 2007.
