does anyone have video?
well guys... this should be the last of my "Best Of" series of threads... the winner for the Best Steal EVER by any Spur... belongs to Manu... Steal on Richard Jefferson on game 6 of the 2003 Finals... even Jefferson recognized at the end of the game that that steal changed the direction of the whole game... any other better ideas?
does anyone have video?
you can definitively find it in the 2003 championship video
I remember that play, ESPN should replay in every pre season here in ARG
Hard to beat the Manu steal, I have to admit. But one that popped to my mind was back in the early 90's when the Spurs were playing Orlando (with Snaq still on their team). The game was televised on NBC, if I remember. Anyway, the game was close right at the end and Doc Rivers stole an inbounds pass to seal the game. Everybody mobbed him. Ah, precious memories.
I was sitting in the "end zone" at that game and it gave a nice perspective on Manu's steal. As I recall, Manu was closely guarding the Net player as he tried to take the ball to half court -- a one man "press" if you will.
Manu tipped the ball one way (the Net player reacted in that direction), then Manu tipped it back the other way (to himself and behind the Net) -- the Net player's head was swimming and Manu was off to the races.
DRob vs Flakers in 2003. Hustling back on transition D, he tips a pass and i think recovered it to.
Agreed but I remember a Block/Stuff/One Handed Steal ( All In One Play ) by Big Dave on J.R. Reid of the Hornets as one of the most remarkable defensive plays I have ever seen in my life !!!
I remember a few occasions when Dave would be at the top of the key and intercepted a pass and took it all the way down for a dunk (or layup if it was at the end of his career). All the commentators would be like "a big man should not be able to handle the ball like that"
I like the way Finley Dunks...He really seems to enjoy it !!!I remember a few occasions when Dave would be at the top of the key and intercepted a pass and took it all the way down for a dunk (or layup if it was at the end of his career). All the commentators would be like "a big man should not be able to handle the ball like that"
.....particularly when those dunks are on the heads of the Mavs.
Bruce's block/steal on Billups in '05 game 7.
I liked how Duncan picked Lebron's pockets clean during the Finals when he was bringing the ball up court.
Elliott had a huge steal for a breakaway dunk against the Suns the year they went to the finals when it looked like the game was over.
The best Spurs steal ever was drafting Manu with the 56th pick in the draft.
That would have been my nomination.
I liked Jacque Vaughn's steal against the Rockets last season and D-Rob's steal againt Isaiah Thomas during the 93 All Star Game I believe. It was Magic's last All Star Game.
Check out #4 and #6:

Good times.
Acquiring the Chapparals.
that one was nominated for best block though... we need more steals examples
The best Spurs steal ever was Jax against LA, game 6, in the 4th period of the 2003 WCF. It broke Kobe and the super Lakers will by out-scoring them down the stretch.
Any Bruce Bowen Steal makes me enjoy like if it was the best one ever...
that Was an awesome play! he tip the ball on one side and ran pass jefferson on the other! it totaly turn jefferson around like a corkscrew!
George Gervin for Cash
