impressive... have seen it like 10 times already and i like it a lot... i don't remember another of his since the one to Dampier in 2006
I nearly in my depends..not really.
I think I rewinded that dunk at least six times. That fool got up!Fin hasn't done that in a while.
He was trying to dunk on fools again later but switch to a layup.
I have always wanted Fin to drive more and use more athleticism.
Anyone else feeling really good about Fin now?
Can someone post the video?

Lol yeah, that was a WTF moment for me too... I didn't know Finley still had THAT in him
Yea me too man. I was like the only one in the whole room who said "Throw it down!!"
haha....good signs for a spurs fan
It was exciting, almost as exciting as this!!!!!!!!! HEADBUTTS THE BALL!
Missed dunk. Can anyone provide?
I loved it. I was hoping that 2006 Dallas Series Mike Finley would come back. He showed a small sign of it last night and the past couple of games. I hope he keeps it up.
it's the first play on espn's recap highlights of the game...

yeah!!! I forgot about the head butt!
That was a great dunk
Finley has always been a bad mother er. I'd trade Howard and Bass for him
We'll take it!Finley has always been a bad mother er. I'd trade Howard and Bass for him
The dunk last night was inspiring. I'm not delusional enough to hope for it every game, but I'm glad Findog has got some hop to his step again, we're going to need him to come up big night in and night out until Manu and Tony get back.
On another note: HE HEADBUTTED THE ING BALL!!!!! It does not get more manly than that. Unless of course, he impregnated another player's wife immediately after the game.
damn! if Finley can get up and jam like that, why the doesn't he do it more often? that drives me crazy.
Finley has had some really sick dunks as a Spur... I've always wanted him to drive to the basket more often, really make the most of every opportunity. I heard him saying something during the post-game coverage about how he's being told to be more aggressive... With Ginobili/Parker being the slashers more often than not, and Finey getting up there in age, it is understandable why he hangs around the perimeter and plays more towards his strength (mid-long range shooting).... but when he does throw down one of those tomahawk kinda jams, it's nice.
There's another one of him posterizing a Blazer a season or two ago (Webster, Outlaw - somebody). It's sick.
He's gotten old, but dropping some of that weight seems to have helped his leaping ability a bit...
I've always been a pro-Finley guy because he can shoot the ball (and make big shots...i.e.Game 1 of last year's playoffs against the Suns) and he's a solid pro. But, I have wondering why he doesn't drive to the basket anymore. Because the defense has to play him on the perimeter...so he could give the defense a ball fake and drive to the basket.
I know he's not 24 anymore...but it's good to see him attack the rim.
He just needs to be consistent and the Spurs need him to score 15-20 points a game while the calvary is out and to balance Tim's scoring.
I hope he can continue!!
I so pleased for Mike that dropping those pounds and coming to camp in shape, both requiring work and discpline, are paying off.
The Good Ol' days
The think the above picture is him dunking on Ruben Patterson
I never noticed how he prefers to jump off of two feet until watching this clip. He had to have been one of the greatest two footed leaper/dunker in his prime.
Funking nba recap didn't even have it. Like a 36 yr old Fin dinking is normal or some . But Dwyane gets 2 steal and dunks on the highlights, somehow a Spurs old man facial isn't good enough, but Tim's eyes-closed game winner makes the cut(and was numero uno).
i went over the same frustration today when i tried to show it to a co-worker... un- ing real the hate we get from the gay voiced NBA daily announcer...
btw the highlights of Fin ^^^ that were posted up there were gr8! thanks for sharing...
Cartwheel for the win.
