I just remember Duncan's shot and forget everything else.
Duncan makes the shot, I thought the game was over..celebrated..changed the channel and watched something else, while being very happy..I turn the channel back on a few minutes later, and I see the Lakers celebrating..shock for the rest of the night..still can't believe it..
Disbelief... even now. I was at home screaming and hopping around after the Duncan shot. I knew that it was impossible to catch shoot and score on a jumper in that short of time. Time started late and the rest is history.

Section 212.
Unfortunately, I'm the dope who said to everyone sitting around me, after Duncan's shot, "Damn, .4 is enough time to catch and shoot."
Classy sports bar in Times Square, NYC. Visiting my brother who just graduated from NYU. Surrounded by my entire family (all Laker fans from LA), and I was wearing a fresh new authentic Duncan Nike jersey (as seen below). I was the only 'true' Spurs fan in the entire bar. People had my back throughout the game because everyone in NY hates the Lakers. A bunch of people came over to my table to celebrate with me when Duncan hit his Jordan over Ehlo shot at the top of the key. They all disappeared about 2 minutes later. FML!
Worst sports moment of my life, hands down...and yeah I cried
I pissed everyone off at Crabby Jacks off 281 by running around the bar screaming and hollaring. then tried to convince everyone the nba would overturn the game the next day after review. i really lost it.... it was pretty sad
I was on the phone with my friend Tricia, watching it and talking about it with her and after Duncan made that shot, we screamed at each other and my husband, who's not a basketball fan, said, "Good. They won. Can I change the channel now?" And I said, "Absolutely not. The game's not over!". I wish I'd let him change the channel.
I jumped up and down and screamed with my spouse. We were hugging eachother and celebrating and then Fisher threw up the dagger! I felt the timekeeper should have been fired and lashed a few times...Seriously, I was so mad!
House sitting in Topanga Canyon. Walked around outside for about 3 hours in a daze, calling friends around the country to discuss.
I was at the game. When we were walking out, a Laker fan started a fight with a Spurs fan. The next day I sent a 3-page letter to the NBA and a few others, utilizing online articles about human reaction times to explain why .4 seconds was not enough time to shoot (and also that human error had to be accounted for).
I heard back from two places. The NBA basically told me to stfu. Mark Cuban said he actually agreed with my letter, but that the NBA was basically going to tell me to stfu.
If I ever meet Derek Fisher in person, I'm going to kick him in the shins.
Pacing frantically in front of my tv. I went bonkers when Tim's shot went in. But I immediately looked at the game clock. I knew there was enough time for a shot. When Fisher's shot went in, I knew it shouldn't have counted, but I also knew it would. I went fetal for literally an hour. And I was pretty comatose all that night. Those bas Lakers devoured my basketball soul. I hate them with the fire of a thousand suns.
I was 15, living overseas in Greece with my family. Had to get up at like 2:30 AM to watch the game (we were homeschooled, and my mom let my brother and I watch the games as long as we kept up our grades and didn't fall asleep during schooltime). My dad (a hardcore, but extremely intelligent laker fan) was there too, watching the end of the game before leaving for work that morning. I remember being down 20+, the Spurs' stirring comeback, and that ridiculously magical shot by Timmy--must've screamed myself hoarse. Then the absolute worst sports-related feeling in the world when fisher hit his shot--even my dad was in disbelief that it went in. Then being too stunned to cry (even though I wanted too--I'd created a name for myself in the household as a Spurs fanatic after shedding tears following the Spurs' failed le defense in 2000 lol). Don't even remember much but that numb feeling and just going through the motions that whole day.
Hurt so bad I couldn't bring myself to watch a replay of that game until after game 7 of the '05 Finals.
I was actually living in Dallas, well Coppell at the time...I was so confident it was gonna be another Championship year?...Spurs were up 2-0 in the series, on our way....And then it all fell apart...Lakers were on the come back..I was freaking out....Fisher hit that shot and I knew that would hurt the Spurs confidence...I still to this day, don't think that shot should have counted though?...0.4 seconds and the way Fisher shoots with that super high release and arch?...I think it was not off in time, because he had to catch the ball...Go up super high to get the shot off, and then the high release?....IMO he didn't get it off in time?...But it is over and there is nothing that could be done now...I think Sacramento found that out the hard way back in the early 2000's?..... the Lakers...FAKERS
I was living in Boston and watched it at a local bar. Needless to say, I was in good company as far as a cheering section (buncha in' townies). My buddies from up there were all patting me on the back and ordering shots. Then Fisher's shot went down and from that point on I have car crash memory. I can only assume it's the feeling that one gets when they have a stroke. I proceeded to get bombed and then attempted to not tear up from rage (with a squirt here or there) on the Night-Owl Bus home while replaying that motherficking shot over and over in my mind. Imagine having to take a late night bus home, in Boston (tough guy stabbie central), (basically) crying with the occasional drunk expletive. Luckily I had friends 'cause I was a mess.
Wow I've always thought I was being a baby for how painfully bad I felt after that game but from the other posts in here it's obvious I'm not the only one who was so bad off. Can you imagine if all of us in here were together during this; it would have made things a WHOLE lot easier for us when it happened.
I was and still am in denial. Its physically impossible to do that shot in .4.
At the game. It sucked.
Great thread topic BTW. I love reliving bad memories.
i remember seeing the replay and seeing them start the clock way late
i was young, but still a die hard spurs fan, not to the point i am now, following stats and the rest of the league and whatnot, but still. all i remember is fishers shot and him being so happy afterwards and i hated him. i also remember rick foxs face, and to this day i hate rick fox. i hate him so much. shouldntve counted, did, and the lakers are happy about it. i cried.
If you look at your picture from the top right corner, I was about an inch down and six seats to the right. With both hands I was grabbing people around me screaming at them, "Did it he get it off in time? DID HE GET IT OFF IN TIME?"
Then I was calling my husband screaming at him to watch the replay. I probably called Summers somewhere in there screaming at her too.
Bad night.
