Good evening, everyone. I have wanted to enter this forum for a while and this topic seems like a great opportunity. I have read the forum and you guys seem to have a good time and have great discussions. Hopefully I can post and reply in kind. So with the rookie butt-kissing out of the way...
I would like to add my favorite Sean moment. While the comeback dunk was fantastic I will always remember the ALL-STAR game in S.A. watching Sean play. The city was freaked out having the game here....I also remember those awful ALL-STAR jackets (teal or something). Sean being an ALL-STAR helped back up all the trash I was talking to my friends who thought he was soft. By the end of his career...no one was calling him that anymore.
I echo what most have said. I was fortunate to be at the MDM and come back games. They were UNBELIEVABLE. Sean truly is a cherished San Antonian.
Congrats!
I was at Sean's comeback game, second to last row on the lower deck of the Dome in the corner. Greatness.
I'll never forget the MDM either. I had blown out my knee two months earlier and had been doing PT to get ready for surgery (argh!!!!!!), coming home from PT listening to Elliott drop three after three on the radio, and hobbling in the door just as they were coming back from the timeout and then Elliott hits the shot of his career.
I hate to add to the broken record effect, but the MDM by far.
The game he won in Cleveland also sticks out in my mind.
The comeback game was huge of course.
I remember watching game after game when Pop became coach, and having teams fall for the play where Sean would start to cut to the free throw line, then cut hard to the basket and Avery would hit him with a perfect pass for a dunk. It ALWAYS worked.
I remember watching Manu and Tony run that play earlier this year (they've run it a bunch since, but I think it was the first time they had run it since Sean retired) and both my friend Robert and I go "That's Sean's old play!". Not even 2 seconds later, Sean doing the commentary for the game goes "That's my old play!".
I remember his damn pet store.
Does anyone remember his music reviews on Instant Replay? Those were funny as hell!
I am very sad I won't be able to be there tonight..........
:(
Oh man, I remember Seans Taco Cabana commercials! lol Those were hilarious. Even now I can't say Taco Cabana w/out mimicking Sean!
The Memorial Day Miracle was amazing. It's right there with Game Six of the 2003 championship as the most exciting game I've ever been to. The comeback game was awesome.
Some random thoughts:
1) His game winner against the Suns at Phoenix when he hit that shot over George McCloud was classic.
2) I don't know a player other than Wilt Chamberlain who forced the NBA to change the rules in midseason. Sean Elliott was killing teams one year (I think in his fourth season) with a wicked spin move drive. It worked almost every time and he was averaging like 22 points per game. Then the NBA held a meeting and they decided that move was travelling. So for like the next ten games, the refs called travelling on Elliott like three times per game. The amazing part was that if you look at the move in slow motion, it was a perfectly legal play.
3) The pass to AJ for the championship winner.
4) He's the only person who calls David Robinson "Dave" every time. :lol
5) He was hours away from being traded to Golden State for Latrell Sprewell ... until Sprewell choked PJ Carlesimo. Good thing he wasn't because he turned out to be the perfect third star in the 1999 championship run.
6) That time they showed the clip on NBC from practice where Pop yells at Elliott: "Stop whining Sean ... Not everything is about you!". Everyone knew that Pop and Sean were best friends, so treating him like crap was Pop's way of bringing Sean down to an equal level with every other player. Same concept with Malik Rose a decade later.
7) The way he worked on his game. He made one three-pointer in his first NBA season. By the time he retired, he was the franchise leader.
8) The offseason that he gained 35 pounds of muscle. He said he worked out eight hours a day. And if you saw him early in the season, he was HUGE. But then he had some knee problems and the doctors said he was carrying too much weight, so he went back to his sleek look.
9) He was a very underrated defender. He used his quickness and his jumping ability to shutdown a lot of his opposition.
10) It looked like the Spurs had lost Elliott to the Suns after their new owner invited him to be part of the ownership group. Elliott was to join Steve Kerr as the face of the new group that was to take over the Suns. Elliott agreed, but then after thinking about it, decided he was too much of a Spur. The truth is, no one is a bigger fan of the Spurs than Sean Elliott.
Bump for #32
You could tell he had a huge lump in his throat and was fightinb back the tears while the first speakers went up. He took a few deep breaths and was able to hold back the tears and not break down. I'm betting he had some bets with buddies.
