I remember how I felt when the Spurs lost to Miami the previous year. I felt that it was the end of an era, and the future of the franchise was unknown. So to see them return to the finals against the Heat and systematically destroy that team was one of the most amazing and beautiful spectacles I've ever seen in sports. Not only did the Spurs not die, they broke up that Heat team.

+The Boulder just shows how great and respectable of a coach Gregg Pop is. You see how his players are well disciplined and have never had any type of coach vs player beef like Dwight, LeBron, or Marbury. Spurs lost in 2013, but Greg learned and studied the Heats' weakness so well and came back strong the next year with a 4-1 victory. Being coached under Pop, his offensive plays are spectacular that when any average players starts to become consistent with it but putting up really good numbers, he slowly becomes recognized as a superstar.

San Antonio Spurs are the best professional franchise in all professional sports with the best winning percentage. Teamwork, excellence, dedication, continuity, selflessness, consistency has been the hallmark of sheer greatness while having the fourth most championships in NBA history with five. Only the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles/Minneapolis Lakers and the Boston Celtics have more championships than the San Antonio Spurs. This is an elite organization that has shown how basketball should be played encompassing only one main goal and that is the commitment to winning as a TEAM.

They beat the system and in the process created another that hasn't been seen in the NBA since Jordan's one man team concept came to town - Team ball.

I've watched these guys since I was able to understand great basketball. I watched them win their first in 99'. I've watched them suffer great losses, unfortunate accidents, the draft pick of Parker & Ginobili, the great retirement of Robinson along with the 2nd NBA championship in 2003, the passing of Tim Duncan's father, overcoming the hype of rising young teams, winning their 3rd championship in 2005 which also solidified Tim Duncan's position as leading man, yet another championship just 2 years later, and watching them go through their biggest hardships & treasures in these last 7 years. The biggest being last year when they were literally just 28 seconds from winning their 5th. You have to be extremely mentally & physically committed to take a loss like that & put it behind you while learning from it just to come back this year & finally win their 5th in a rematch with the heat. They made sure their name & their spots as a team, age & talent were never questioned again. And they all did it as a family in the past decade. They don't have extreme commercial endorsements. All of their commercials are for their own community in San Antonio. They all contribute to charities & fund raisers. No other team comes close to touching this kind of greatness & I'm so proud to have lived in San Antonio to watch this team inspire our city. More than well deserved.

Just getting out of that gauntlet that is the Western Conference makes almost any "oddsmaking" an exercise in futility anyway. But if Duncan and Ginobilli play at the level they did this year...hard to not see the Spurs getting back to the conference finals at least.

all the "analysts" on Inside the NBA (and pretty much all of espn/sports center) dismiss the Spurs like no tomorrow. I swear they thought Houston and Clippers and OKC had more of a chance winning than the Spurs even though the Spurs were overall #1 seed with the best bench and no players avg more than 30 mins. smh

I hope one day, when this great Spurs generation is over, that they can take this to the big screen just like Remember the Titans and so many others sports movies. I gained so much respect for SAS and the fans.. And I agree, this should be an NBA commercial or a mandatory video to watch for all this young blood that are coming after.

I think the message that comes from the Spurs' win is important. With all teams building superstar teams and star players jumping ship to take the easy way out to win championships, the Spurs are silently sending the message that team basketball and selfless team play will beat talent alone. Developing players, scouting out players by how they fit rather than just statistics, putting trust in each other, putting aside ego and listening to the coach... No team does it better than San Antonio. Much respect to the Spurs organization. I hope Timmy comes back for at least another year and they make a run for title six! No other team comes close to being as enjoyable to watch than the Spurs right now.

This title is special to me because of how the team responded after last year's loss. I myself couldn't help but feel the pain from that series. I've been a Spurs fan all my life, seen some crazy wins and tough losses, but last year stung the most. I couldn't be more proud of the Spurs. It's tough enough to even get into the PO's in the West and the gauntlet you have to run through just to get to the Finals is daunting, add the fact that you could bet the bank Miami was gonna be there waiting. Amazing run from an amazing team! Now we gotta do the one thing we haven't yet....go back to back!!!

Only thing that would make this video better is to start with a full speed version of that crazy pick and roll against OKC at the beginning of the video... that's the moment when I KNEW that the Spurs were going to win the title this year. At full speed, coming in transition, that play just blew my mind (just like it did Mr. Zach Lowe's). It also happened to be the first play I saw of that game in real time. I couldn't watch the game before that, and I turned on the t.v. and saw that and went "HOLY SHIT!" and I just knew. The Spurs put together a sweet little run there, and it got close later, then an OT, but the Spurs had already shown me they were just too good. Just too confident, too skilled, and too good. Awesome stuff.

Yep, once Tony Parker went out with the injury, I knew the spurs were gonna win - even though they were down by 7 at the half. Parker was ineffective against the tall athletic thunder - and this is an adjustment that should have been made before the injury.

It's like people don't want teams to lean towards this kind of play. Well, you see it in sports everywhere, from top to bottom, when the organization and its players/personnel buy in, give their all and work tirelessly to help one another, it's a beautiful sight and it's usually accompanied with success. If teams choose to follow a different route, so be it. Spurs have been the epitome of excellence for the past 15 years and it looks like they're still not done.
@obiwannotanikan10 жыл бұрын
Other owners should take note of RC Buford and not interfere the game and leave that part up to the people who know basketball. Everyone from top to bottom put ego aside and do what's best for the team. The selflessness is not only embodied by all of the players, but the entire Spurs organization. The excellence they've maintained for almost two decades is nothing short of outstanding.

You don't see this type of game played in the nba anymore. Often times, its about the individual, the personal stats and accolades. Too many teams play one on one and run a stagnant offense with the end result being shown on espn due to it ending in a dunk or some type of highlight. This is what team basketball is all about and it's a beautiful game to watch when played as a team. Thank you for this video!

LeBron and his teams are 33% against the Spurs. The Spurs swept his team in the 2007 Playoffs, the Heat won in seven games in 2013, and you know what happened this year. He plays on teams with a star system and the Spurs are really a team. If Cleveland reads the very obvious tea leaves correctly, they will surround him with an actual team of guys who want to play that way.

For a long time fans this winning really touching, as it's been a while 7yrs especially when u got to witness those pervious 4, and got slipped last year. The journey that these big three hv to face through those 7yrs, upside down. That's why I was crying when they won cuz I realize how hard the road for them have been for long time. And looking this such a satisfaction more than words can describe. And foremost Tim Duncan
