03 run was the best one. lakers, mavs. but the 05 finals was the best series. still, first one has to be the best

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
2013 would be the sweetest.The Heat will be by far the greatest team we''ve played in Finals and this Spurs team is not as talented as those championship teams.

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
I have witnessed every Spurs Championship. Unfortunately, I was to young to remember any of them in vivid detail. This will be the first Finals appearance I will be able to recollect which makes it that much more special. When the Spurs won in 99' I was only six years old.

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
All depends on the opponent. If it involves defeating the Heat, then it has to be the best or second-best.

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
2005 because most of the time the opponent from the East was a cakewalk. That Pistons team was great.
If we can beat LeBron and Wade though. Wow.

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
1999 was sweet becuase it ws the first.
2005 was by far the most challenging to date.
2013, assuming the boys bring home the bacon, will be even more challenging than the others - it will also be the best because this one seems so unlikely and will mark a wonderful way to bookend the odd-year dynasty.

For me personally, 2003 is the best while ending Lakers' 3-peat run. But for Tony, it has to be this one if the Spurs can win it all. Although he won the Finals MVP, Timmy was clearly the best player in 2007 and the biggest challenge was against the Suns. While for this year, Tony is the best player, and this would hugely boost his personal statue among all time greatest players.

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
2003 was my favorite, but if we take the Heat this will top it.
Seeing David and Tim go out on top packs some serious emotional firepower.
Although there was a tear or two shed seeing James White get a ring...

2003 Sending the Admiral off on top. Clearly.

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
I have fond memories of 2003 and 2005, with 2005 probably being my favorite. I was so drunk during the 2007 run... lol

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
The '99 chip was pretty fucking awesome too. I was a senior in HS and a bunch of us from the team would get together to play ball and then watch the games.

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
first time '99 > IF we beat the heat after so many years '13 > beating a tough pistons team in 7 '05 > the last run for the Admiral in '03 > the Bron Beat Down '07

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
'99 was amazing, and the '05 Finals were the best series. But personally, after 3 years of "dynasty," my favorite championship year was making the Lakers cry in '03.
The only downside about '03, though, was that the toughest series was in round 2. If we shock the world and beat LeBron's Heat on the biggest stage, this victory will be legendary, and has a chance to be remembered by the world at large as one of the all-time great NBA Finals series. That would be pretty f'ing awesome.

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
How to even choose? 1999 was the run that started it all, and who can forget what happened to the city of San Antonio over the course of those playoffs? 2003 had Timmy's near quadruple double and Jackson's big threes in Game 6, 2005 had Horry's instant classic heroics and Game 7, 2007 saw Parker become a sensation against Lebron, and 2013's potential title would come against the most Goliath-y foe of them all.
-
Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
Each one is special, but damn...winning it all this year would be SWEET. 1999 was special because it was the first one ever, 2003 was special because David retired a champion, 2005 was special because it was a brutal 7 game series against the defending champion, and 2007 was special because it was the 3rd in a 5 year span with Tony emerging as a dominating PG....

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
Can't beat dave retiring on top, but this one if we get it will be my second favorite

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
I think '99 was Spursball at its best, but '03 was so storybook. The Admiral goes out a champion...magical.
-
Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
I'll never forget the 1st one. The city and downtown was crazy as fuck. Highways were at a freakin standstill and people were climbing rigs and shit, I think more than all other times. That I will never forget. Thousands of fans would be waiting for Spurs at the airport, it was just sweet as hell.
2013 would come in a very close 2nd, just for the proving people wrong factor after so many years.
-
Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
They all mean something different to me.
'99 - so happy, such a great run, never thought it would happen.
'03 - This one was the most fun: the Lakers crying, Kerr going bananas in Game 6 vs. Dallas, Frank Johnson grabbing our players from the sideline, Manu's steal on RJ in Game 6.
'05 - This one was the most nerve racking - the Seattle series where the Sonics fans were cheering Duncan's sprained ankle, Jerome James's trash bag, the Denver series where the Thuggets beat the shit out of Manu, the epic roller-coaster Finals.
'07 -The cherry on top.
I think if we win this one it will be my favorite. The last rodeo.

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
of course this one .
GO SPURS GO !!
加油!!

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
2003 because THE ADMIRAL RETIRE and he is my all time favorite player!!!
then, 1999 because the sweetest and first!!
2005 because pistons almost won it ^^ i mean game 7 feelings are so good thats sport!
2007, because i was in game 2 attendance ^^
BUT 2013 can be my favorite because i do all my best to come back to san antonio and see Timmy, Gino and TP win again and maybe their last will be the best END they can have together..moreover to beat on heat..will be so sweet...

Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
Torn between 05 and '13. Chose '13 though.
-
Re: TP: "If we go all the way this one will definitely be my favorite"
I can actually remember where I was at the night they won it in '99. The entire city went bonkers and just about every car had a Spurs Flag.
'13 would be a big middle finger to the rest of the sports world.
