Watching in a bar on SE Milwaukee in Portland OR---screaming like a banshee, much to the disgust of all the 'Blazer fans
Damn I was in the 5th grade when this happened, me and my friends were watching this at one of their houses and I remember we went re ed when the shot went down.

On a plane over New Mexico.
Working @ Fiesta Texas at the recording studio. Had the radio going and since people kept coming in to ask what the score was, I finally piped 'OAI into our outside speakers. There was nearly 100 people standing outside our store blocking the walkway to listen to the game and we all went wild when the shot went down. I still remember jumping up and around and high-fiving all the other fans there.
In the upper deck. Man...how the place went nuts!!!
on the ceiling! .......trying to get as close to GOD as possible...thanking him for bringing me into this world as a SPURS fan!
10 rows behind the Spurs bench going nuts.
Jumping up and down in my room here in Brazil
yeah I can vouch for that. My seats were like second from the last row. But at the same time they were freeso you ll hear no complaining from me.
Sitting at home staring in disbelief wondering how they got so lucky.
in the 8th grade watching in my bedroom on my 13' tv
the next day in class know one beleived what had happened, most had turned the game off at half time and didn't witness the memorial day miracle
cant beleive that was almost 8 yrs ago

thank god nba was free-to-air in australia during that time from the early 90s till late 90sand i dont think they showed the playoffs, but they did show the nba finals series that year, which i n enjoyed watchin.
after that no more free-to-air nba coverage![]()
In a bar downtown Portland Oregon. Was betting with a buddy of mine game for game dinner. I made out like a bandit that series.
Blazer fans were devestated, and some were ing that Sean was out of bounds without seeing the replays.
Working Concessions at the AMC Willowbrook in Houston. I recorded the game and watched it that night. Woke up the parents.
I was in my barracks room while stationed in Virginia surrounded by a bunch of heckling bandwagon Blazer fans. Damn it felt good to see their faces after Sean's three... After the game I threw all of their ass out so I could scream like a little school boy.
They should put a big brass statue of Sean in downtown San Antonio shooting a J.
I was in an RV in Arkansas struggling to get a good signal on a ty TV. I was on my way back from the Indy 500 that year, and the day before I had gone to the Pacers/Knicks ECF game 2 with my huge Spurs flag. Everyone kept saying I was in the wrong stadium. I told them I'd see them in the Finals, but we saw the Knicks instead.
There were two heros on this day! One is of course Sean Elliot and the other is Johnny Blaze who brought the magic of the MDM to a large group of fans who would have otherwise missed the experience. That's great karma!
nosebleed ... from the picture i would have been in the upper left hand side .. but way off... i remember after he hit it i kept on muttering that that was the hardest shot ive ever seen.
that play existed before the year 2000 so, as a Mav fan i have no idea what play that was.
nah, but i was rooting for the Spurs to win because they were down by a lot, and were coming back. i always will root for the team that's down by a lot to make an impressive comeback.
at my grandma's freaking out in disbelief
went to game 1 but not game 2, living room in south Austin for the memorial day miracle. I had moved to Austin from San Antonio in April 99 after living there for every spurs season since they started. I still think I had to move out of town for them to win a championship.
Does anyone have an audio file of the radio call? I don't think I've ever heard that before.
I was in my lucky spot on the couch, where I spent every game that I watched at home during the '99 season. The house was still echoing my screams of "No, no, Sean! YES!"
I have it somewhere. I'll post up if I can find it. I listened to it a million times. I also have the audio of Russ announcing the Spurs getting Duncan; also one of my favorites.
