Duncan's shot was higher stakes than Sean's. There was no way that 99 team was losing to anyone. Portland came out on fire in game 3 of that series, and Rasheed Wallace hit one of the craziest fadeaways I've ever seen to end the first quarter of that game.... but they couldn't match up with the Spurs defensive intensity the rest of that game and played the worst 3 quarters back to back to back that I've ever seen. They gave up in game 4.
I've got to go with Elliot. But Horry is becoming a fast favorite in my house.
Robert Horry's shot looms enormous right now because we are in the moment.
But, what you all have to realize is even though most of you Spurs fans feel extremely confident that the Spurs will win this series now, Robert Horry's shot won't be more important than Sean Elliot's unless the Spurs do win this series, AND if there are no bigger shots in the game in which the Spurs clinch (if they do clinch) their fourth win of the series.
For example, if the series ends up going to game 7, and game 7 is a triple overtime game in which Tony Parker hits a tough floater in the lane to win it for the Spurs by 1 point, then that will likely be the biggest shot in Spurs history.
Alternatively, if by the grace of universal design, the Pistons are able to win two at San Antonio, the Robert Horry 3 pointer will be all but negated as an important shot in Spurs history, and will basically serve as a haunting reminder of what could have been.
It looks tough for the Pistons right now, but they'll fight to the end, and will give the Spurs everything they got in game 6, and hopefully enough so they can give the Spurs everything they got in a game 7.
Well, asking this question tonight is highly biasing the result, anyway.
Kerr made some huge ones in '03 too.

does it matter which one is best, all we can say is these two guys are clutch ass spurs!
Top 5 definitely,....I dunno if i'd put it over the Memorial Day Miracle Shot since we won the Title in 99 with that one..
we still have to win 1 more to equal or surpass that one in terms of the road to the championship. At least, thats how i look at it.
Seans shot was unbelievable.
But given the situation the series was in and the possible mental state of the team, I have to give it BSR
