NBA On NBC - Tim Duncan Battles Shaq! 1999 WCSF Spurs @ Lakers G3 & G4

[@comsci2491]

Man I love how physical the game was before. When scoring a basket and holding a 5 point lead means so much in a game.

[@atbp828]

Duncan really played hard for his 1st championship ring. Hard as in literally 'hard'. And Shaq was over-hyped at that time.

[@brendonhowe2158]

​@@atbp828funny I was thinking the same same thing. Shaq is so hyped here, no control. He rushes everything and is so desperate to win. I love it and the journey to becoming a winner.

But also way less technical and skilled. Not saying these players were not skilled but the level is of course lower than nowadays

[@Moorsho]

He always used to get cooked by every power forward..Rasheed,Duncun,garnet,even Z-Bo used to cook him.

[@f430ferrari5]

@@MoorshoI never understood this from Laker coaching and management perspective. Horry was more of a small forward anyhow. Del Harris was a terrible coach who never understood match ups. The Lakers traded Elden Campbell and Eddie Jones and for Rice and JR Reid. Dumb trade. Had the Lakers kept Campbell, he could have more easily matched up with Tim Duncan while Shaq was guarding Robinson or they could more easily switched off. While both Eddie and Kobe were 2 guards so was Ron Harper but when Phil Jackson paired up the big guards in Jordan and Harper it worked. Same for an older Harper and Kobe. So Eddie Jones and Kobe could have worked too. Horry would have been more effective as a SF and weak side help defender.

Notice how the two offensive players furthest from the ball are usually standing still? Tough to be gritty when you’re constantly sprinting in transition, your defensive rotations are 10 feet longer, and there is constant off ball movement.

It was Duncan who struggled vs dominant defensive big men shooting a pathetic 41% in the 2005 Nba Finals being guarded by the Wallace Bros, luckily he had Manu and Horry save his ass vs the Pistons. 😂🤣☠️

[@louie115]

if only duncan and robinson had at least 10 years together we could've had 10 championships!

[@HeyCross-ss3wv]

This is why I hate the “Kobe was carried by Shaq” comments. Shaq didn’t do anything until Kobe was a star.

[@brianwilliams6167]

Well yes and no.......yes those are dumb comments.....but your comment is kinda false also .....Shaq was NBA first team.....and scoring champion in mid 90's....

[@melvynsngltn27]

Wrong Shaq did alot before he was a Laker he never won a championship before the arrival of coach Phil Jackson, what did Kobe ever do without Phil Jackson 🤔

[@cameronpowe7257]

@@melvynsngltn27could say the same for Jordan👍

[@CrimsonUniverse22]

LOL, and after Shaq left and Kobe was on his PEAK…what did he do? Nothing…until another pretty good big man got there in Pau Gasol.

[@timatkinson9291]

Never was a big Spurs fan but, they were a great team. This is the defensive intensity I miss with today’s game. Just a 3 point contest. With the all star game being the biggest joke!!!

Mental Vs Physical matchup! Back when u could just enjoy the matchup and appreciate the game as a whole. I was never a huge Shaq fan, but he was great and unstoppable with the Lakers. He was always the biggest guy on the court and the most privileged player in the NBA, but boi did he love to abuse his power… he threw more elbows than an MMA fighter and the refs let him get away with manslaughter! Tim had such a great balanced game, and was one of the rare big men in that era that could actually shoot FT’s, witch made him great in the Playoffs. But what I loved about him was his mental toughness, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him flinch or loose control or play with emotions? He always knew how to control his energy and stay focused, that made me respect him. Even in big moments with all the pressure on, I’ve never seen him choke! (Duncan & KG were two of the Greatest PF and on my fav players list)

[@hclim9202]

So weird to see players give up threes to score inside.

[@Ometecuhtli]

Jaren Jackson? He barely shot better 3s than Lebron.

[@Shedricksystemmoldingpro-rv4uq]

Yes.

[@WrittenDirectedbyJacob]

that move at 10:42 Duncan did on Shaq, got his ass jumpin. Man, his footwork was crazy

[@dexteretoy]

Time Duncan is so underrated

[@chandleryen7315]

If i had a nickel every time I've seen this comment. He's become underrated to overrated almost overnight because of everyone going "he's so underrated" then proceeding to bump him up a few spots in the all time list

[@funjoy0738]

This was when Tim was right out college? Hell yeah!! Shaq was a cheat code!!

[@OrionOodama]

The Spurs shut down the Great Western Forum! If not for NY Knicks' miraculous Playoff run, they should have Phil Jackson manning the bench for next year instead of the Lakers and their move to Staples Center. Thanks for sharing, as always.

[@MDBBall]

👍

[@LARULES100]

The lakers returned the favor and shut down the alomodome in 02 with a kobe game winner.

[@OrionOodama]

@@LARULES100 Laker bandwagons should have thanked Phil Jackson, rather. 😜

[@Theterminato2013]

@@OrionOodamaAnd Tim Duncan should thank Greg Popovich.

[@OrionOodama]

@@Theterminato2013 In fact, they are thanking each other. That's not something they're keeping to themselves nor to the public.

[@viewport]

Has any NBA megastar ever been swept as many times in the playoffs as Shaq? 😂

[@Theterminato2013]

Check Pau Gasol's playoff record before Kobe and Anthony Davis's playoff Record without LeBron. It's even more embarrassing than Shaq's without Kobe. 😂🤣

Little did we know, we we're watching the next 5 NBA champions😮
