I remember growing up as a kid in MN and thinking it was so cool that KG was a big who would shoot long two's. Crazy how much the game has changed.

[@Ojuis.]

Now you got Karl Towns a big shooting threes

[@ArcadianGenesis]

What a great time in life this was. I was 9 years old living in San Antonio, Tim Duncan was drafted by the Spurs, and I got the original PlayStation for Christmas.

[@ylgotbars4531]

What a time. I was a kid on the east side of SA around this time. Born in Dallas but I’m a massive KG fan I saw him vs the spurs once at the SBC center.

[@ShabuShibuya]

NBA's been sitting on all these games for decades. Takes a national emergency for the association to give us what we want smh

[@bigblakbubba1289]

Watching this game seems like KG played the same way his whole career he stayed hydrated, pouring sweatn. he only knew one way to play and that was physical and tough. A phenomenal underrated athlete.

Axl Roz TD was the headcoach for a game when Pop was out. Technically making him the most winningest coach ever. 100 percent baby. Can’t do better than that.

[@ThePlatinum360]

Also Vinny Del Negro is so underrated as a Spurs player I remember Del Negro hitting those silky smooth jump shots time after time during games real talk.

So many future coaches/assistant coaches on the starting lineups for both teams.. Sam Mitchell, Terry Porter, Vinny Del Negro, Avery Jackson, and Timmy. Wow.

We’re looking at Mike D’Antoni’s nightmare. No spacing, clogged paint, hardly any shooting, constant post ups, little to no playmaking, and worst of all nothing but midrange jumpshots.👀😟😫😫

Kareem??? Hakeem??? Wilt??? Tim??? Garnett??? Bill Russell???

[@Manufan-og1xg]

I know TD, Kobe and Magic all have five rings, but I'd say TDs are most impressive. He never played with a fellow top ten player (Kobe and Shaq) or top 5 player (Magic and Kareem). You could argue Manu, Tony and Kawhi were top 50 players and Robinson was a shell of a top 15 player, but he truly made his fellow Spurs and Pop look brilliant while he was in his prime doing it all on both ends.

[@carlomagnoaborde3999]

But TD played with David Robinson🤔 but yeah his 3 rings after Robinson retired were amazing

[@chocolatethunderific]

7:55 "if david robinson and gugliotta had been healthy that would of been the match up at small forward but now they slide up to power forward" - the commentator on the garnett/duncan match up. that's crazy that these two 6-11/7-0 guys known for their back to the basket games were small forwards in their early careers... although this "ball-on-the-floor" move by Garnett at 10:55 is pretty small-forwardish

[@DC-ck6bp]
