That was Duncan's best post move I've seen in years. Maybe even going back all the way to '99. He hadn't used that fake-middle-spin-back-fadaway-baseline-hook-from-15 in a loooooong time.
Nice time to break it out.

I had to rub my eyes, but I could've sworn I saw Tim make a hook shot from the baseline, about 15 feet away, ala Olajuwon. Was that a luck shot, because I don't remember that being part of his bag-o-tricks?

It was a stand up and scream "Did I really see that?" moment.
Was a great move & shot but I wouldn't call that a true hook shot.
I don't think I've ever seen him make that shot. It was awesome and took me totally be surprise (probably surprised the Suns too).
As a Suns fan, I was absolutely amazed at that shot. Duncan pivoted to the right and saw the double team coming, he pivoted away from the double team and hit that baseline jumper. I was easily the best move I have seen from Duncan in a long time.
It wasn't a hookshot, he still had both hands on the ball. It was a turnaround jumper that was a beauty.
I'm just glad the bank has finally opened back up for him. Haven't seen it since '05.
Duncan in this series will average 33 + and 14+ He is truly a man among boys, including a very talented man-child in Amare.
Duncan will do well against the Suns. I'm just surprised that I didn't see more from Manu.
So they can't stop Duncan and Parker and still expect to win this series?
Looks like a hook to me (toward the end of the video)

It was magnificently unstoppable, with nothing-but-net, graceful, beautiful finality.
Yeah, those couple posters had me thinking I was crazy. If that's not a hook, I don't know what is.
He did that in the corner right in front of the Suns bench with Thomas (I think) draped on him. It looked like about a 20 foot hook.
I was wrong about him having two hands on the ball, as he clearly didn't. If that isn't a hook, it is about as close as you can get. Duncan was facing the basket when he released the shot though.
Amazing shot, even watching the replay.
I think he faked right, then left, then hooked-shot it. Beautiful.
Timmay was awesome. I think that was one of his best games against the Suns.
Duncan killed Studdermire. but I think parker was more incredible.
Didn't he also use it in Game 7 against Detroit in the '05 NBA Finals....???
Wow, that was a great shot with a heck of a player guarding him.![]()
That was a clutch shot. Similar to the 10-foot jump-hook Timmy hit over J.R. Reid of the Lakers in the 1999 playoffs in the final 10 seconds. The Spurs really needed a bucket then also. Although the hook was a bit unusual...there was late-game precedence.
I can't get the video to play, but if you mean the baseline jumphook that made it 104-102 Spurs, yes that was fabulous.![]()
+10000
Yeah, I remember Duncan using that shot, but it's been a while. Maybe he figured he would bring it back, knowing that Phoenix has to double him?
