i was visting my grandma for the summer, so i watched it her and my sister.........
it was 5am, i was in my house alone...spurs were so infamous at this time (NO TP, NO CHAMPIONSHIP WON BEFORE)
And I felt so happy for DAVE, SO HAPPY TO SEE THE FIRST LE OD TIM DUNCAN (only 2nd year, better than anyone in nba unless magic his own idoll!!!!)
DAMN..i remember
I was living an hour and a half away from Green Bay in this hole in the wall town that only cared about the Packers. My mom and I cried. We moved back to San Antonio about three weeks later.
On the phone calling my sister making sure she was recording it!!!
I noticed the thread said where were you not what were you doing. I was home watching the game, I HAD to make sure that this was being recorded being as though it was the first time that a team of mine had won ANY kind of championship since the NY football Giants had in 91. Oh and the Baltimore CFL Stallions in 95 I think. I had to live through "Bulls fans" here in MD....for decades. It was nice to see the good guys win for a change....

Did she have the express written consent of the National Basketball Association???
Watching with the fam. Hugs all around in the end, and a congratulatory phone call from my best friend and Bulls fan - to whom I had confided, just one year before, that I doubted I would ever have this experience as a Spurs fan.
There needs to be a jealousy smiley.
It's twoo. I was at a house party of a lawyer friend of my dad's on the NW side. Before the game started he came in with his daughter. (I'm ashamed to say I didn't recognize him immediately.) He had just finished playing his last year in the Italian leagues and was now retired from ball for good. He still looked like he was in shape to play a few MPG in the NBA easily, though.
Anyway, during the game he didn't say much, but kept getting up and leaving the room at various points because he said watching the game was making him too nervous (it was cool beyond words that he still felt that kind of connection to the team).
During halftime we pumped him for stories about playing in the league back in the day. He said Larry Bird was easily the biggest trash talker around. Nonstop ultra- talker.
It was nice to see him get called on stage along with the other Spur Legends to hold up the LOB a few days later.
Cancun Mexico on a batchelor party. They setup a big screen in the lobby. The night they won it, the hotel brought us several bottles of champaign. Damn good time!!
I was at my Folks house in Gainesville, VA. I was so happy having supported the team since 1978 that I screamed until I was horse and then I wept saying that I could finally die in peace.
You went horse or hoarse? Because if you went horse that would have been more amazing then a lot of other stories.
Thanks for the correction. Yes I indeed went hoarse not horse after San Antonio won it all in '99.You went horse or hoarse? Because if you went horse that would have been more amazing then a lot of other stories.
Did she have the express written consent of the National Basketball Association???
Off the record... "yes"
Ya know, I was at home w/ hubby & an other soccer parents, getting tipsy& me & the other chick were sitting on my front porch tooo nervous to watch, as we both had high blood pressure
We could not keep from peeking at the T. V. and when we realized they were goin to win, we jumped up & down & hugged each other
Then took more meds & passed out
The End
i was watching it on my black and white 5" portable tv because it was the only tv i had with an antenna (and the cable wasn't installed yet in my new apartment). i couldn't even see if the ball went in the basket. but i knew that spree did not make his shot when he got doubled by duncan and robinson.
where were you when the mavs won the championship?
in Port Aransas down on the Texas coast. watched it with my entire side of the family that is alllllllll from san antonio
championship moments from nba.com
I was at home with a couple friend of ours and also was on this Spurs' forum chat celebrating with some of us long timers, like Travis, Cosmic Cowboy, Crazy One and a few others.
The Mr. Gatti's in Austin on MLK Boulevard not too far from campus. Good times, jovial room.
I was watching at a friends apartment with co-workers. We all hugged each other and were jumping up and down! Then we piled into someone's SUV and drove downtown screaming out the windows all the way. I was driving and I was honking the horn so much that by the time we got back home in the wee hours of the morning, the horn was shot. That was the best of the four championships and I enjoyed celebrating every minute. That was when they actually let you go downtown to celebrate!
on the couch at home. I was 8.
