NBA Live 99 (N64) (Spurs vs Nuggets) (December 26th 1998)

This is the last game in the year 1998 for the San Antonio Spurs. Now the Denver Nuggets are coming to The Alamodome in December 26th, and after this game, the Spurs can have a merry Christmas and Happy New Year with their friends and families. All they need is another win to sweeten the holidays.
I don't mean to add insult to injury to the Nuggets, you guys played good this year. Honestly, I never thought I'd see the day the Denver Nuggets win a championship. You guys came a long way from your mediocre seasons like the season this game is set in. Back then my love for the NBA was deteriorating, I was lamenting over how the NBA wouldn't be the same with Michael Jordan gone again, and playing Pokemon Blue Version on my Game Boy almost every day.
Fun fact: Johnny Newman was in the 1997 movie "Shadow Conspiracy" with Charlie Sheen, Linda Hamilton, Donald Sutherland and Gore Vidal)

Spurs won

(Whoo! The Spurs in real life almost blew out the Clippers like I did!)
