It's a tie for me between game 6 of the '03 Finals (the 4th quarter run) and game 5 of the '05 finals (Robert Horry). I was too much of a casual fan in 99 to fully appreciate Sean's Memorial Day shot.
Sean has always been a class guy who seemed to overachieve. He took a chance on a team at the University of Arizona and was a big reason that program has been the success it has been the last 20 years. I am not a U of A fan, but have always like the way Sean carries himself and will always remember the way he kept his heels in the air and drained the three, and , I don't even remember who the Spurs were playing.
Portland.
Could anyone explain this "memorial day miracle" to me, or have a youtube link? Thanks.
Damnit I shouldn't have watched that MDM link. It always, is bad luck for me to watch '99 stuff on a game day! But God does that bring back great memories. I was in the upper deck, and during the timeout we ran down to the opposite baseline, to watch him nail that three. We knew something special was going to happen we just didn't know it was going to be that amazing!
Thanks, I didn't realize Sean's shot was the Memorial day Miracle. BTW, I'm glad the powers that be decided to ditch the pink and tourqouise colored key!
My favorite!
hey, that rhymes

From 1998 - Duncan scoring 18? straight points against the Suns; TD dominating Utah before spraining his ankle.
From 1999 - Elies three against Houston; TD's offensive board and dunk against Utah; DRob pushing Kevin Garnett; Jaren Jackson; MDM; DRob's fist pump in Portland; Avery's shot.
David going after Joe Smith and shoving Garnett without even looking at him was a sign to me that the Spurs had a chance to really do something in the playoffs. I had never had that feeling before.
A couple of Duncan:
Game 7 of the 05 Finals, the last 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter when he decided he wasn't going to lose that game/series. He got his own miss offensive board and put it back and drew the foul. It was all over after that play. (He made the free throw!)
One of my other favorites wasn't even playoffs or finals.
2-28-05 at Cleveland. Duncan hits a 20 foot jumper at the buzzer for the win. For some reason that shot has stayed with me.
There's so many more, for me it's all Duncan all the time.
From the 2003 playoffs: Steve Kerr going bonkers in Game 6 against the Mavs. Completely unexpected, but insanely entertaining.
Avery in 1999 and Robinsons last game in 2003. Epic.
This is mine to.
Nothing's sweeter than the first.
Championship 1999
