The vicious throwdown in Game 3(?) of the '04 WCSF.
Here's mine....
10. Tim isolates the DPOY, Ben Wallace, on the left block, runs right past him, and dunks on him with his right hand while knocking him over in a 2004 matchup.
9. Tim Duncan catches the ball on the left baseline, fakes Chris Dudley with his left hand, spins all the way right, and throws a textbook bank shot up and in with his right hand in the 99 Finals at Madison Square Garden. I think it was game 3, but it might have been 5.
8. With the game tied and about 7-8 seconds left, the Spurs get the ball to Duncan at the left elbow, where he's isolated on Nowitzki, faces up, and buries the game winner in his face with about a second left (and Dallas had no timeouts to advance the ball thanks to some great coaching by Don Nelson)
... this was back in the 2001-02 season.
7. Tim sticks a shot over Garnett to go up 4 with maybe 10 seconds left in the game to seal a Spurs win in game 1 of their 2001 series, and then does a re -looking dance as he runs back up the floor.
6. Tim Duncan sticks the game winner at the buzzer (from down 1 point) in Karl Malone's face, and then turns and heckles the crowd at the Delta Center in the 2003 season.
5. Tim Duncan catches an alley-oop from an inbounds play in Milwaukee in 98, and proceeds to fall on his ass on the way down (after the dunk)
4. Game 1 of the 2004 series with LA, the Spurs have just made a pretty sizable comeback against the paper champions, and they're up 2 or 4, with a minute or so left in the game. Tony Parker has the ball, Duncan's posted on the left block, and Tony starts jumping up and down, waving Tim over and shouting at him to come set a screen. Tim comes, Parker goes left, Shaq and Payton try to trap him, but he hands the ball off to Tim, who hands it off back to TP, while making a move to a spot a couple of steps off the left block. Shaq and Payton commit to Tony, who passes the ball off to Tim for a sick bank shot, and then they jump up and chest bump while LA has to call a timeout. I've never in my life seen a pick and roll run better than in that one play.
3. Tim hits the insane fallaway over Malone and Shaq in game 5 of the 2004 series with 0.4 seconds left, which caps off a drive from 15 down in the third in a must-win. By the way, Derek Fisher.
2. Tim Duncan hits a jumpshot from Bowen's spot on the baseline to give the Spurs a six point lead with 4:30 left in game 7 of the 2005 Finals. Post players aren't supposed to be able to hit those, especially in the fourth quarters of game sevens.
1. Tim Duncan goes up for a layup, misses, gets the rebound, misses again, gets the board back, and says it, and goes up strong and dunks on Karl Malone and Greg Ostertag in the next to last home game of the 1999 season.

I was suprised when he started messin with the crowd, it looked like he was givin them the fingers.
i wish i could see all ur top 10 on footage
Damn, that's a good list. The play you listed as number one encapsulates everything that is Tim Duncan.
Off the top of my head, the only one I can think of that I would add would be that spin move and dunk on Shaq in Game 6 of the 2003 WCSF. Shaq asked to be put on Duncan and that one move ended that hope.
I forgot that dunk in game 3 in LA, but it was in the 03 series... what about the shot he hit to win game 2 against LA in 99? As soon as he saw Rice come in from the left side to double, he spun right and dropped the winner over JR Reid.
When in the game did that happen? I'm drawing a blank. I actually have the DVD of that game in my 360 right now.
I would put up that fastbreak dunk he had all over AK-47's face, i think it was in the
04 season........
I'd also add one of the plays from Game 1 of the 1998 playoffs against the Suns. The way he played in the second half of that game showed how special he was. Perhaps the sequence where he blocked Hot Rod Williams three times in a row.
First couple minutes of the third quarter, IIRC.When in the game did that happen? I'm drawing a blank. I actually have the DVD of that game in my 360 right now.
game 6 03 finals where he made kenyon martin cry
That's probably my favorite game of Tim's career, although game 5 of the 99 Finals is close.
Yeah, that was an awesome game. At halftime I think he had four points and I remember thinking to myself that maybe Tim Duncan just isn't a playoff player.
Then the second half happened.
does anyone know his stat line for that game?Yeah, that was an awesome game. At halftime I think he had four points and I remember thinking to myself that maybe Tim Duncan just isn't a playoff player.
Then the second half happened.
32 points, 10 rebounds. I'm pretty sure he had 28 of the 32 points after halftime.
WTF is the Edge commerical at?
My favorite Tim Duncan regular season game was when David got ejected with 3 minutes left in the 4th against the Trailblazers (March 2000?). Spurs were down by 7 when the ejection happened.
When David left the court, Tim became a freakin monster. The Spurs went on something like a 12-0 run, capped by Duncan doing a between the legs dribble and nailing an 18 foot fadeaway with about 30 seconds to go. Spurs won by 4. Duncan had 36 and 15.
Even though it brings back bad memories, my favorite TD moment was against the Lakers in 2005 right before the .4... That had to be his best clutch shot ever.
If it wasnt for .4 (which by the way, according to the RULES was impossible at the time) that would probably be one of the highlights of his career.
I know we are not allowed to post links so ill tell you how to watch most of them.i wish i could see all ur top 10 on footage
go to youtube and type in Yinka Dare - Tim Duncan
the first one that shows up says Tim Duncan mix made by Yinka Dare.
that video is 4 mins long but it has most of the top 10 there.
enjoy
That game was great. I remember David accidentally hit one of the refs, and his ejection got Tim mad as ... plus, this was back when Portland was a really good team.
my favorite tim duncan moment
sitting in the stands, watching Tim get his 31st block shot of the series (new finals record) along with 21points 20 rebounds 10 assists 8 blocks in a le clinching game 6.
Yeah when David got ejected, fire almost came out of Tim's eyes he was so pissed off
I love that game. And yeah, Portland was good - they had already beat the Spurs twice that season.
Thanks.
When Jaren Jackson had a seizure after that fastbreak dunk against Portland has to be up there.
Awesome!
