Memorial Day Miracle...Robinson cheering, smiling, fist pumping at end of game

[Murphy]

Hey guys, just wondered if anyone felt the same way I felt after Sean Elliot hit is infamous shot, when at the end of the game they showed David Robinson running to the lockeroom with a huge smile with his fist in the air. I don't know why, but everything I see this clip of robinson it gives me chills, i have never seen him that happy before. anyone got a clip of it?

What was infamous about it?

I agree. That shot was infamous.

That's the funniest thing you've ever typed. IOW, that's the only funny thing you've ever typed.

DRob jumping up and down all giddy as the Spurs were seconds away from eliminating the Mavericks in '03 does it for me.

That's my favorite, too. MDM reminded me of Forget Paris without the trash talk.

Elliott.

[Borosai]

It's much better in real-time, with the announcers and the crowd.

I'll never forget that shot. I still remember exactly what it looked like from my seat, and how the whole section went crazy, knowing Sean had just won us the championship.

1999 was still my favorite...so far...

I was 8 when this happened. Look at that crowd, the way our guys celebrated....those were the days. Taking nothing against our team and crowd now, I love winning don't get me wrong, but there's something special about how alll that pounding was finally cracking the rock.

Hey guys, just wondered if anyone felt the same way I felt after Sean Elliot hit his infamous "El Guapo" shot, when at the end of the game they showed David Robinson running to the lockeroom with a huge smile with his fist in the air. ?

Dusty: What does that mean?
"In-famous"?

Ned: In-famous is when you're
more than famous.

This man El Guapo is not just famous,
he's in-famous.

What I love about the Admiral, are his emotions and the fact he is also a fan.

If you notice at every game, when there is a big time out or a call from Stan for everyone to stand up and cheer, he is the 1st one to his feet.

As always, leading by example.

25 years of frustration finally being wiped away. You younguns can't begin to know how rewarding that 99 championship - ugly offense, asterisks, and all - was for those of us who have followed the team since the beginning. For the players - who had to deal with all the "San Antonio is soft" bull - it had to be even sweeter.

Those old Alamodome playoff crowds were absurd. Didn't they pile about 30,000 people in that place for the playoffs....that is insane.

Well said. There were so many indications that it was just their time. MDM was yet another of those. AJ's spin move past Damon Stoudamire was supremely satisfying as well.
