I was at my grandma's, my cable was out then too. When that shot landed I broke a 450 dollar vase on accident from jumping around.

Ttlong.....maybe you need to see if the Trailblazers are looking for a few more jailbirds to have another losing season.
Believe It or not I was on my honeymoon...
I got married on Sunday May 30th 1999 and the next day It was (Memorial Day)
i was rubin one out while that happened. i was watching one of the Peter North movies, like North Pole vol 3 or something. i saw the replay later on and was stunned.
I had to skip out of work to watch the game...Was over at my best friend's house. Him, His wife and I were standing in front to the TV and went absolutly bat when Sean sunk the Memorial Day Miracle!
Working at a residental treatment facility in Portland, OR.
I was the only one rooting for the Spurs, of course.
I watched the game with the kids till they went to bed at 9:00 PM, and then with the staff after that.
My co-worker Dennis posted a new screensaver on our computer - "The Spurs are the luckiest team in the world!"
People were pissed. Me, I was beside myself with joy.
I went on to have a lively playoff rivalry with another co-worker Kenan, who is a former New Yorker.
That roar was indeed one of the loudest in sports history. Damn, I really miss the Dome sometimes.
I was w/ my dad at his friends house, she FINNALY got her infant son to sleep! So the whole house was quiet, I was watchin the game and trying to be as quiet as I could. Whenever the Spurs scored I wanted to clap or something, but had to stop myself. So anyways, when Sean hit that shot, I totally forgot that Levi had just gone to sleep and I freaked out, jumped up and down screaming. Anyways, got in trouble because her baby woke up. But it was worth it. What a shot!!!
I can still remember it clearly, I remember the anouncers words and everything.
"...into Sean Elliot...who fires a three......AND HITS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!...What a shot!"
Never gonna forget that day. The baby, who is now about 6, goes to our church, so whenever I see that family, I am reminded of that awesome shot.
Ironically, considering who hit the shot, I was watching it in a dialysis unit.
I was at my parents home...
Did i just see an avatar of Rex Chapman in a Suns jersey????
Bad omen....Bad, Bad Omen!!!!!
I am not sure where I was watching it, it might have been at home or it might have been at my aunts house. That whole season was just a blur.
But I think my cousin Maxpower was with me watching it and when he hit the shot..man we went ape . I know I did.
Wow reading this post gives me chills!
Do you guys realize we are only six games away from next years' " where were you when the Spurs won it all?" post? = )
Watching the game at a bar in Portland. I was bought a couple of beers after the game, most Blazer fans were simply in awe over the shot. Was betting dinner on each game in that series, made out like a bandit!
I was at college in Galesburg, Illinois. I was in my dorm room with my small 13 inch TV watching the game.
I went nuts but nobody else seemed to understand. Especially my girlfriend (now fiance). Once she learned about the "Spurs thing" she decided to stay away during most games.
She gets mad because I don't pay attention to her during games.
But anyway, it was an amazing shot. I'll never forget it.
I was working at a movie theater. I recorded the game and watched it when I got home... pretty late.
My mom already knew what had happened, so she said she couldn't sleep because she was waiting to hear how I reacted at the end. Needless to say, I probably would have woken her up any way.
I was at the game..at the opposite end of the court. That whole side from Sean's position down was leaning over, heads cranked to the RT trying to get a good look at the play..we couldn't see Sean's feet since everyone was standing..the entire Dome was holding their collective breath..swish..Pandemonium erupts!! I highfived everyone in sight, screaming my fool head off and wound up in some stranger's arms jumping around. I screamed so loud and long I almost fainted from lack of breath!!
I was in Rockport at one of those tourist court motels where they have the little houses all around the perimeter facing inside...a little swimming pool etc...a bunch of us had rented the whole place...there were about 60 guys there and we had a big smoker cooking ribs and briskets with all the trimmings...went fishing that morning but got back in time to clean fish and then watch the game...I had about 20 people in my room watching it on a little 20" color TV...the place went absolutely wild...we partied till about 2am and then went fishing again the next morning....

that's the radio broadcast

that's the video of it
I have no idea where I was or even if I got to see it, and I'm still kicking myself for being too young at the time to care...
I was at the Dome with my brother and a couple of friends, sitting pretty near to where FWD was. I think it was section 104, and the ticket cost me a whole $16.50. I remember the family next to me getting up and leaving when the Spurs were down like 6 or 8 with a minute and a half left. I remember the Dome was twice as loud as I ever heard even Hemisfair when Damon Stoudamire was shooting free-throws (he missed one) right before Sean's shot. Everyone was beating on the plastic seats in front of them and stomping on the floor. You'd never believe how loud it was unless you were there. NBC did it absolutely no justice on TV. I was shocked at how quiet it sounded on TV when I saw a replay of the game on NBAtv. My brother, my friend, and I were shocked that the team was going to drop one, but my homeboy's sister was going nuts the whole game and I remember a guy next to us telling us the whole time the Spurs were taking this game, even 18 down in the third. I just started watching the boradcast on one of those little tvs on the ceiling, and then the Spurs started getting stops, Sean hit like 2 threes, and they went on something like a 17-2 run and I made myself stay on the tv (i'm pretty supers ous when it comes to the Spurs), but out of that timeout I said no way, I'm watching the floor like I paid for. Of course I thought it was the worst shot ever until it went it, and I turned to my homeboy and chest-bumped him, high-fived my bro, we all went nuts and started chest-bumping and hugging everyone within reach. It took like 30 minutes to leave the arena because everyone was hugging and high-fiving down the aisle after the game ended. A lot of us stuck around just to cheer Sean when he came into the locker room after doing at least 20 minutes of interviews on the floor.
I have a story about that day but I might be shot if I tell it.
Why? Were you a Laker fan at the time or something? Because if you were, I know Kori would lend me her glock.
That was perhaps the biggest thing about it. Was there anyone who didn't say "WTF?" when he first let it go? Even watching replays, I'm tempted to yell, "what are you doing!"
I was at my old house watchin it on TV going crazy.
