Where were you six years ago Monday?

[nbascribe]

Okay Spurs fans time to go back in time.

Read the article, http://www.woai.com/spurs/story.aspx...0-2177C509FC13, and then post where were you on the day Sean Elliott's three pointer propelled this franchise into an elite company of NBA teams.

Give some tidbits about why this day will forever be ingrained in your memory as one of the best days of your sports fan's existence and then predict if this Monday coming up will come close or even compare to May 31, 1999.

I was over at a buddy's house with about a dozen of our friends to watch the game. When the Spurs went down 18 we shut the TV off because based on past playoff experiences the Spurs didn't climb out of holes very well. So a little while later someone asks to turn it back on so we can check the score because he had laid a bet about covering the spread. We turned the TV back on just as the Spurs were breaking their huddle to set up "the play". The thing I will always remember is the sound of 15 voices yelling, "What the f***?" in unison as Sean put the shot up and then jumping up and down like morons when it went in.

I was at the Service Bar in Fort Collins, Colorado. And after the game, I stayed all the way until it closed at 2:00.

it was wrong to turn of the tv in the first place.....

good game that i didnt get to watch on free to air which shows one game of the week but however i got to catch all the finals game that year...

I thought for the longest time I was in the car with my dad listening to that game on the radio. But that had to have been another great shot, cause Dad passed away in Nov 98.
I'm assuming I watched it t.v. but I believed the other for so long, I really can't be sure.
But I do know where I'll be this Memorial day- in my spot at the SBC center! Sweep Spurs Sweep!

At home, laying on the couch.

David Robinson expressed my reaction exactly. I saw the shot go up, screamed "No! What are you doing? YEEEESSSS!!!!!"

[Ishta]

I was living in the wasteland also known as Dallas. Watching the game on TV..... Pissed off because we were loosing and then they started making the comeback...When Sean hit that 3 I almost peed on myself which wouldn't have been that hard considering I was 7 months pregnant! I will never forget that day...This monday, I will be watching the game from home,or a friends house, and will use the bathroom on a regular basis to avoid any accidents!!!

One Team, One Goal
GO SPURS GO

I was way up there on third deck.... Does anybody have the Radio sound byte for that shot? or know where I can get it? you know....

"Ellie to inbound......"

[Useruser666]

I have that on CD I think. It wasn't on the Spurs championship CD?

[bejanicek]

i had just got done playing in a summer league basketball game during my junior year of HS and had it on the radio with all my teammates listening to it. I remember stopping at the gas station to get some drinks and thats when it happened, we must have ran around that station like chickens with our heads cut off, just going absolutely crazy. Never forget it!!!

I was on the 3rd deck at the Alamodome. It's definitely one of those times that will be ingrained in my memory forever. People were crossing aisles to hug and high five other Spurs fans - it was pure greatness.

Reading this thread just gives me chills thinking about it.

We need pictures and audio links on this thread!

[travis2]

I have that on CD I think. It wasn't on the Spurs championship CD?

I think it is.

[ladiesman]

I agree with fity... about the links....

Oh, man. That was after I became a Spurs fanatic. I'd always been a Spurs fan, but being in freaking Houston during the season, and not inundated with coverage is what made me realize how much I loved them. I sat in front of my computer and watched the updated boxscore as they won the game that clinched the best record in the NBA that year.

As for the actual game? I was in NB (home for the summer) and home from work in the living room. I was so mad at the Spurs, I was screaming at the TV, so my dad told me to shut up or turn it off.

Fuming at their poor play and lack of D, and knowing they wouldn't come back, I turned it off. Then back on. Then back off. Then on again to see the huddle, and then watch that shot, then scream NO ING WAY! Then be yelled at by my parents for cursing.

That was such an amazing shot. I have watched it over and over.

I still talk about it to this day. Whenever someone from the SA area comes here to Houston, I ask them if they are a Spurs fan, and we always always talk about that shot.

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.

I was at Hooters...no big shock right? We were watching the game and the time out was called right before Sean's shot....we were going over the different scenarios on what could be done. Then my friend James as a joke said "They will hit a 3 and win by 1" I was all "no way! They don't need a three they can do this and this.." I rambled off a bunch of stragtegies.....he looked at me and again said...."hit a 3 and win by 1" That was the playoffs when the "shock tarts" supers ion reigned.

I was a my folk's house watching the game.
Once Elliott made that clutch shot...I literally jump up and scraped my knuckles on the ceiling.
I even shed a tear or two because I was so thrilled on that comeback...
They were destined to win it all that year...and they did!

[ladiesman]

Is that Jimmy Jacskon in the third picture? Good, he is used to this stuff.... SWEET !!!

I also remember Mario Elie running out of the Alamodome that day holding up 6 fingers for the 6 more wins they needed. There was no doubt at that point that the Spurs were going to win the Championship.

It was my birthday. My whole family was watching the game on the big screen in our living room. I remember the play, and I remember one of my uncles with his hands in the air. The moment it went in was the single loudest moment to occur in my household.

[Jimcs50]

I was at Tapatio Springs that weekend with my dad, wife and son. I was driving back from SA listening to game on WOAI. I almost drove off the road when Elliott hit the shot. I had taped the game of course and watched it about 12 times that night. My dad came in and said, "Are you watching that again?"

[GoldToe]

I was wasted.
