didn't see it. anyone have a clip?
Wasnt that ish amazing??! I want to see the gif of it if possible.. i'd like that as my sig or avatar.. That play was Jordan/Gervin mix 2005.Just ugliness at its best.Seriously, Manu is unreal, get with the damn deal. What did you all think about that move in particular, and who has the .gif of the play ?

It one of a couple exclamation points in the game.
It was one of a kind. Pistons had gotten within 7. 2:45 left. Gino with the behind the back dribble to get himself out of the double in the corner, around Hunter and around Rasheed down the lane. Manu clearly had his hand under the ball and changed his mind at the rim and flipped his hand over suspended in air and jammed it.
Spurs get a stop and then Manu steps back on McDyess and nails the three to kill the Pistons' run and go up by 12.
That play was one of the best plays I've seen... ever. Pure talent.
While he was in the air, he thought ..."well I got some space and Im up here already might as well dunk it"
holy ! we have a poster named nacho estrada. greatness.
Im rewatching the game in Mexican channel TV Azteca.
Manu is a cold calculating crazy mother!
Not only was the shot huge in terms of stopping our run....
he converted it into a dunk and I was like WTF......
how the did he do that???
The kid is an amazing player to watch simply because you never know what the he'll do next..... , HE doesn't know what he'll do next.
But that play was as sweet as I've seen in a while.
I still can figure out how he was able to dunk that thing. He definitely defied gravity.
I was laying on the floor in front of my TV. I saw that play, got up off the floor, walked onto our 2nd floor patio...and started screaming.
geesh, I'm really getting too old for this...
WOW, just WOW. One of the best individual moves I've ever seen, period.
where can i see the clip of the dunk & 3 pter sequence???????
Yes that was great move!! First i did not thought that he gonna dunk that
NBA.com has a video of it, but its not a great angle.

that play was incredible. I was at my friend's house and screamed sooo loud, he probly won't have me over for next game. And then Manu backed it up w/ a three.
If that dunk happened in the 43rd regular season game against Charlotte at the SBC it wouldn't have been a big deal.
But to do that in NBA finals, in the midst of a Piston's run, was just crazy. It really wasn't that great of a dunk, and he has had better, but the timing of it and the way he wanted to stamp some authority on the game with a dunk rather than a layup, made it one of the best plays of the Spurs season.
That's up there with a few other plays I've seen. Like:
-jordan against the lakers in the finals where he switched hands
-a suns-rockets playoff game kevin johnson drove to the hoop from the baseline and hakeem rotated from the weakside and kevin did this monster dunk over olajuwon
-the starks dunk, I believe it was in the playoffs and it coulda been against the bulls can't remember
-david robinson was thrown an ally oop, got it with his back to the hoop and dunked it with his back still to the hoop.
From beginning to end, the whole sequence was totally improbable. Manu was trapped in the corner, and danced his way out by dribbling in circles (literally), then he curled around the top of the key and drove the lane with his left hand high in the air and UNDER the ball as if to finger roll, but when he got to the rim, in the blink of an eye, he slammed it. During the timeout after Manu's subsequent three, I rewound it and watched it three times. Did anybody here see The Incredibles? It was like that sequence when the teacher has a tape of him sitting on the tack and he's trying to convince the principal that Dash did it. No matter how much you believe that Manu dunked that ball, he was clearly finger rolling going in. It's like someone doctored the broadcast and deleted a few frames. Manu is a magician.

My cousin and i were at a bar watching the game and we were both like wtf? Did i just see that. I was already impressed with Obi Wan at that point but after that I was gay for him.
Slayer Min where you at ??!! I know you've got the .gif!
That play showed the determination and sheer will Manu has to excel on the grandest of stages. Olympics first, now NBA Finals. I can't wait to see what else he has in his bag of tricks!!!!
Yea, I was amazed by that play. Manu is really fun to watch, its like hes running around in circles and around cones and stuff. I so think you guys set a few illegal moving picks but its all good. I never thought he was gonna dunk that layup though, crazy.
Anybody see that Billups fake behind the back layup? Cmon that was sick as well.
please somone make a .gif of it!!!
Ha you remind me of this video: http://gprime.net/video.php/reallifevsinternet
"But I want it now. Give it to me!!!!!"
That Billups move was awesome. Made me laugh actually, not something I have come to expect from the Detroit side.
Tony Parker did a similar move against Toronto this season on Donyell Marshall, it looks really good and is actually effective unlike some flashy dribbling/passing plays.
