That's what made the rest of that game so tough. It's like Manu's foul coming right on the heels of Manu's clutch three.

Tim Duncan's three > that shot.
it's hard to love that shot since Derek Fisher made a shot after that.
If 0.4* hadn't happened, that shot >>>>>>>>> anyone's shot, with the exception of the MDM.
ing i hate the lakers
I remember watching that one, I was thinking F****CKKKKKKK. I was at a bar of sorts in the OC and the whole place was crying.
Then .4 happened.
As mad as i was about that shot and the game at the time, looking back Spurs did not deserve to win the game or the series. They really played awful from game 3 on.
Given who was playing for the Lakers at that point, all that was at stake in that game, and given the LA/SA rivalry that was in full blossom at that juncture, I think Duncan's runner (which will be lost to the ages because of 0.4*) would be among the 5 or so greatest shots in NBA history. Obviously, we don't know what would have happened had that been the game winner, but if it propelled the Spurs back to the Finals, I think you could argue that it would have been bigger than the MDM.
GODDAMN ING LAKERS!
On the contrary, it's not hard to love it at all - at least for me.
It's just that very few NBA fans, outside of Spurs and Fakers fans, seem to remember it because of the Derek Fisher shot.
I love it too. It's one of my favorite clutch shots of his, regardless of Fisher's shot.
That shot was a Michelangelo. Anytime Shaq gets a mouthful of anything other than fast food, it's all good.
Talk about an emotional roller coaster. After Duncan's shot, it was stunning at the bar I was at. It went from cheering and laughter to WTF in a couple of seconds.
Watching TV, the Spur fans were going crazy and you could barely hear the announcers, then all of a sudden it got quiet as .
That sequence between both Duncan and Fisher was one of the greatest I've ever watched.
The series of timeouts between those shots was absolutely excruciating for those in the building -- particularly those who understood the timing rules and knew the substantial difference between .4 and .3.

May as well show the whole thing...
nah that's fine
I remember thinking to myself after the Duncan shot "well 3-2 isn't bad. We can ein game 6 at home and game 7" then Fisher's shot hot followed by "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!'
I like this one more.

I remember my stomach felt like it was dropped 20 feet, i didn't feel that again until 06 and the dirk foul.
Do king fans feel left out? give me a minutePoor tlong...
I hate you, Shoog.
I still have mad love for Shaq. The hapiness he brought this city was unbelievable in the early 00's.
i didnt get to see that as it happened, i was in another country. Even though many spur fans tell me im lucky for missing it I still wish i would of seen it live
Without a shadow of a doubt, the most clutch and difficult shot in NBA history. There is no player on the face of this planet that could have swished a half-look, fadeaway, running 20 footer with Shaq's big fat hand holding your shooting wrist the entire motion.
The 0.4* and outcome of the series render it useless to call it 'great' but I feel it still qualifies for unheard of clutch and difficulty status.
I'll never forget that shot. Let us never forget: It is a pleasure and a privilege to watch Tim Duncan play basketball.
