Tim Duncan (21pts/20rebs/10asts/8blks) Close to Quadruple Double (2003 Finals)

[@jonbusto3000]

I counted 10 blocks in the video. Duncan should be credited with a 21/20/10/10!

[@wyattmccann7693]

21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, 8 blocks holy shit!! This has to go down as one of the most impressive NBA Finals performances of all time.

[@falloutboy767]

try hakeem quadruple double. try wilt 100. try kobes 80. but yeah... timmy rocks!

[@wyattmccann7693]

Those performances did not occur in the finals. I said Duncan's performance would go down as one of the best in NBA FINALS history.

[@georgesiblesz]

According to ESPN it's the 3rd best Finals series performance ever.

[@darkeagle4758]

George S. F*ck ESPN

[@arunmac11]

+George S. What are the first two?

[@TheH3dgie]

If you actually go through and count the blocks yourself, he gets 10 blocks. The Spurs stats guy is woeful for recording blocks. Shafted of a quadruple double in the closeout game of the Finals.

[@STUDIOS18]

checked out the 5:38 and 5:58 mark of the video, it should have counted. Tim Duncan should have gotten his quadruple-double with those two blocks, but for some unknown reason, it wasn't. PLEASE SHARE THIS AND LETS GET THIS CHANGED!!!!!

[@JoshuaWSiegel]

Henry B So technically he does have a quadruple double in his career.

[@hateater2496]

+Henry B The 5:58 block looks to me like it goes to Robinson. I'm not sure why the block at 5:38 was ruled something else, though. It was pretty obvious Kittles was trying a scoop layup. Even so, that puts Duncan at 9 blocks instead of 10. :-{

[@ejj9956]

hateater2496 it went to dunca first, theirs another video on KZbin where it's zoomed in you can see duncan gets his fingers on it

[@bradthomas7431]

Your the real MVP

[@lonewulf44]

Okay, came here to see ... still need to go through the other 8 but if the two you link are indeed not counted then he got robbed ... both are definitely blocks.

[@bballer191]

Tim Duncan was unguardable in his prime. Greatest PF of all-time

[@dusk6159]

Absolutely yes

[@ballakobe24]

One of the greatest games ever played. Could very well be the best finals game ever. 21 points + 20 points from assists + 20 points taken away from blocks = 60 point value to his team And don't forget the 20 rebounds

[@a7xguitar666]

i am probably going to cry the day duncan retires. i was 6 years old when duncan lead the spurs to their first championship in 99, and ive basically grown up as a spoiled nba fan living in the city of san antonio because duncan has been nothing short of magnificent for the entirety of his career and the majority of my life so far. i hope my city appreciates all that duncan has done and the impact he has had on our town because he is truly a "once in a generation" player and he will be missed dearly

[@Mikeknowles22]

Sad day for you

[@qwikscopez6619]

Did u cry?

[@onblock7]

BTW they mention who Kobe had next to him those years and his cast. Tim Duncan had an old BANGED up D Rob with a bad back who could hardly play! Antonio Daniels, A 19 year old ROOKIE PARKER, Cherokee Parks, Mark Bryant, Danny Ferry, Steve Smith (Who was old and slow as hell) and Bruce Bowen (Who was great on D but the O was bad outside of Tim) and he lead them to 58 DAMN WINS and a second round appearance! How the hell in 02 do you lead that team to 58 wins? Thats amazing.

[@JMS1089]

The thing I like most about TD is his underrated clutch factor. Always hitting key shots and yammin on younger, more athletic forwards who fall asleep on their defensive assignment.

[@TheRealParallax]

It was a hell of a ride, TD. Thank you for everything.

[@Statalyzer]

The single greatest memory of this game, however, is David Robinson, in what I believe were his last points as a Spur, with the spin move and reverse layup leaving a couple of younger defenders stunned at how he did it.

[@VICTORGENTRY]

has a kobe fan I have to say.... bravo tim Duncan. you have got my vote for the BEST player of this generation., and this game is one of the reasons why. I have never seen Kobe just DOMINATE a game like this, especially a NBA finals game at that. Kobe could never do this in a finals game at all. In all five titles, ( and 04, and 08) I have yet to see kobe just dominate an NBA finals game like this I don't care who it is against. With his shooting, rebounding, passing, Defensive efforts and just his all around skill Duncan has proven time and time again that age is just a number and Duncan is the best player of the Post-Jordan era. Bravo Timmy Bravo!

[@d.luvevo711]

Did Kobe not drop 81? tf?

[@VICTORGENTRY]

Against a medicore raptors team bud.. really? congrats to him for doing that in the regular season but he's never even scored 60 in a playoff game. also when have you actually seen kobe dominate an NBA finals game offensively, defensively together.... ill wait.

[@d.luvevo711]

victor gentry Wtf it doesn't matter what team he did it against, he dropped fucking 81. He's dropped 50 in playoff games, that's dominating. Kobe wrong get blocks and shit because he's a guard

[@VICTORGENTRY]

clearly not when he's the playoff leader in career missed shots...

[@VICTORGENTRY]

you're clearly not reading my comments.. I said NBA finals games. So you think scoring is just what makes a player dominate? get the fuck out of here kid.

[@RamaSivamani]

To add to how impressive this, his matchup was Kenyon Martin on the nets. He held Kenyon Martin to only 6 points on 3-23 shooting. Completely dominant performance.

[@jermaineonealnumber7]

So glad The Admiral could sail away to retirement with a 2nd NBA championship. The best day ever to be a Spurs fan!!!

[@surams2010]

Please tell me how the Kittles' toss at the basket was not a shot attempt/ block? Without a doubt he had 10 blocks. Can't believe they never did a stat change. Would be quite a feat for an already accomplished hall of fame career.

[@TheAmazingJelly]

What really makes Tim Duncan as one of the greatest defenders of all time is he positions himself with so much accuracy and his fundamentals in blocks in on par with Bill Russell because most of his blocks goes to his teammates hands. He doesn't swat the ball, like Howard or the flashy bigs, out of bounds, but he puts another effort for another possession to his teammates. Truly a Big Fundamental, greatest power-forward of all time.

[@heatbucspies55]

Is he the only person to get a 20 20 game and a triple double in the same game? Andyway, the fact that he had those monstrous numbers at all was unbelievable, than doing it in the finals is just ridiculous.

[@zach6395]

I've seen a lot of good games over the years, I'll still maintain that was the best individual performance I have ever seen. Total domination.

[@razkable]

david had nothing left in the tank all playoffs he was on fumes avg 7.8 ppg but he had a great game 6 performance as well...props to him also...him and duncan really made k mart collins dikembe rogers and williams look like shit this game..

[@GifteDiZNicE]

this is the perfect video to show why Tim Duncan is the greatest power forward of all time, and definitely a top 10 player of all time.

[@HaroldTheDog24]

10 years later, they're back in the finals.

[@YesForHope]

Perhaps one of the greatest basketball players to play the game.

[@doesntknowbetter6415]

Wow. Never knew about this game and this just solidified my idea of Tim Duncan being a Top 5 power forward or even a Top 5 player in general.

[@razkable]

duncan avg. 24.2 ppg 17 rebs 5.4 blks 5.3 assits on 50% fg and oh yeah 1 steal to boot meanwhile holding Kenyon martin arguably the nets best offensive player to just 14.7 ppg 2.2 assists on 34.3% fg and held the other 4 nets bigs that got any playing time to a combined 16.5 ppg on a combined under 40%...he killed them...

[@nickj8521]

probably the greatest NBA finals game ever played

[@JackWelsh34]

nick j guessing you didnt watch game 6 in 2013

[@nickj8521]

@@JackWelsh34 I did. age the age of 37, tim duncan posted 30 pt 17 rebound he had the greatest finals performance in nba history in 2003 game 6

[@SurfHarri]

Im glad that KZbin id there so i can Watch TD in His Prime And Not only the Rests that are there now

[@chooey25]

couldn't agree more. People forget so easily that many of his best games are clinching games in the playoffs, or the few times the Spurs were actually facing elimination. He does so much on the defensive end that will never show up on the stat sheets.

[@Wex-PlayGames]

All you other youtubers are great people to give props to Timmy. My favorite player of all time. Real respect to Fans of other teams giving love.

[@GiacShabadoo]

this is the greatest individual performance of all time!!!

[@Allistar123]

he has played center during the latter part of his career because he has gotten slower but during prime (the time he cemented his legacy as a top 10 player of all-time) he played mostly PF.

[@joncross7259]

If you really want to determine who is "better" between Kobe and Duncan all you need to do is ask yourself honestly. If you owned your own basketball team and you had to pick Kobe or Duncan to build your team around, who do you pick? The answer is Duncan.

[@slimslanginslinky]

Jon Cross Kobe*

[@Griffo417]

It feels weird reading this now 😢

[@krob8823]

Facts.

[@jonathanwilliams0824]

FACT: Tim Duncan was listed as 7'0" by 2004. However, at the beginning of the 2004-2005 season, Timmy shrunk by 1 inch and he is now listed as 6'11".

[@Kunumbah1]

He’s basically 7’0 it’s just that he always has head down and his neck bent forward.

[@wanyekwest]

The fucking goat power forward. Man had to be terrifying to play against in the early 2000s

[@KesserCFC4eva]

That's a ridiculously good game

[@vishyvikranth]

Tim Duncan is the greatest Low-post player, rebounder, shot-blocker and passing big man of his generation. Kareem was the Wilt of his generation, Hakeem was the Kareem of his generation and finally Duncan is the Hakeem of his generation. Do you know what these great big men have in common? Most amazing footwork which enabled them to dominate the low post offensively, and become the best rebounders and shot - blockers of their age.

[@cvision17]

Duncan is the most consistent player I think. He's numbers never seems to go south

[@Raford146]

Best finals performance I've ever seen.

[@Camurgladius]

One of the greatest performances ever in the playoffs, and it was to close out a championship run no less.

[@bryant475]

One of my favorite players of all time right here!

[@Mr_Swagman124]

He had a quadruple double just the perfect player never ever said a word about this either. He was the man.

[@dmacid]

Duncan is a great player, probably one of top 10 of all time. Love watching him play. But how do Kobe's achievements pale in comparison? He is a 5 time champion, 15x all star, MVP, 2x finals MVP, 10x NBA first team, 9x NBA all defensive first team, and 2x NBA scoring champion. Duncan has a very long and impressive list of his own. Point is that they are both great players.

[@rickys162]

timmy 5th best player of all time what a guy

[@joshjvaladez]

i wish the nba would review this game again! timmy has the 10 blocks if you watch

[@Debass87]

People will find any reason to discount the Spurs success. One of their best players retired after this championship, Spurs still made it to the second round the following season and were NBA Champions again a season later. What other team bounces back that fast after a Star retires?

[@CSABHOF]

Duncan's 15 Spurs Seasons (1997-2012) -- .702 winning percentage (830-352) ...the winningest 15-yr span in NBA history... + 15 consecutive 50-win seasons (if u projected that 37-13 99' lockout record over an 82-gm season, SAS would have won 61 gms). WOW.

[@jaysekhon8014]

If there was a perfect PF rating like the QB rating in football, Duncan definitely set it here.

[@TheAmazingJelly]

every night lebron would just watch this video and dream of having a performance like this in a finals. this finals performance is wtf mode.

[@humanalarmclock]

Kenyon Martin still has nightmares from this game.

[@onblock7]

TIM at his absolute BEST! When he was unstoppable.

[@jtfourlife]

Tim Duncan is one of the greatest and the most respected athletes of all time.4× NBA Champion (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007) 3× NBA Finals MVP (1999, 2003, 2005) 2× NBA Most Valuable Player (2002-2003). Not to mention, hes not a cocky individual like LeBron James because he lets his performance do the talking for him.

[@GiacShabadoo]

best player of the last 15 years

[@Video1Scout]

wait say whaaaaaaaaaaat? QUADRUPLE DOUBLE!!!! pf....and people say hes not the best pf in the NBA...tim duncan has flash but he doesnt need it. he's MR FUNDEMENTAL! 4 championships! two regular season MVP's. 3 finals MVP's and hes been put on the NBA deffensive team 9 TIMES!!! GO SPURS GO!..thank you for posting this....look haterz LOOK REALLLLL WELL!...

[@onblock7]

I agree with you fully, they follow media hype, Kobe needed trades and so on to get his rings! Duncan stayed with the team and did not whine for a trade nor got F IN GIFTED a traded or so which Kobe did quite a few times! Tim is the man!

no one can match his talent here.

[@Debass87]

Take notes Kevin Love. That guy has potential to be the next great PF post-Duncan. But there will never be another player like TD unfortunately, when he retires Basketball won't be the same. Keep your Lebrons and your Durants, I take nothing from their talent but there's just something special about the Duncan era that can never be replaced

[@chitownkidd33]

So much better than Kobe , I wish the media would stop comparing them.

[@ctye85]

I'm a big Kobe fan, and I do think Kobe is superior to Duncan. But I wouldn't argue with anyone saying Duncan was better. Hell of a career, and the stats/awards back it up. They dominated that decade.

Can't really compare them, Duncan plays PF and Kobe is a SG, but both are one of the best at their position.

[@40rods]

to the people comparing tim and kobe, just give it a rest. their teams are way different and their positions are way different. you can't compare a shooting guard to a power forward in terms of who was 'better'

greatest finals stats of all time

[@49ERSATX]

@MJRiley878 and david robinson, oscar robertson. and of course wilt chamberlain who did had multiple quadruple doubles

[@pokerus230]

Clearly. Duncan is not built physically for scoring. His post play and defense is what makes him the best post jordan player. You can't have a great offense with out a great defense. This is easily one of the best Finals performances in history

I dunno if he'll ever be as good in the post as TD was/is, but defensively, Anthony Davis looks like Duncan back in his younger days. The sheer length and athleticism, the high IQ, and of course the blocks lol

[@dynamitezverde9748]

CranberryLembi AD has the potential to be better. He just needs a better attitude. But I doubt that'd happen considering how his career has been going.

[@HellenicForces7]

Unbelievable performance by duncan AND this was a quadruple double anybody who sees this would say it is clearly one... don´t know why the didn´t count the two other blocks

[@HorseheadNebula85]

"The sixth-seeded Rockets (47-35) defeated the 3rd-seeded Utah Jazz (60-22), 2nd-seeded Phoenix Suns (59-23), top-seeded San Antonio Spurs (62-20) and Eastern Conference champion Orlando Magic (57-25) in the NBA Finals. In the Conference Semifinals against the Suns, the Rockets came back from a 2-0 and 3-1 series deficit without home-court advantage, winning the series in Phoenix. Hakeem Olajuwon dominated league MVP David Robinson and Shaquille O'Neal in consecutive series to win the title."

[@Casarezx559x]

Let's not forget about the San Antonio Spurs just because the Dallas Mavericks won the title this year. Spurs are the true Texas Champions!

[@onblock7]

I love Duncan but he did have some clutch guys that year hit timely shots! Sure he set them up no doubt! Jackson and Manu hit timely threes though all playoffs! They were wide open because of Tim setting them up no doubt though! They hit them like some champs though all in ALL! I respect them for stepping up! Tim though was on a different level, 95 Hakeem and 92 Jordan Level that year, just on a different planet!

[@slimslanginslinky]

He actually got 10 blocks and got completely robbed of a quad double, which would have been only the 5th ever official, 10th unofficial. It's insane they gave one of his to Robinson (no disrespect but it was Duncan who blocked it) and one of his blocks they didn't count! This makes me mad because Tim is a hall of famer and one of the greatest so this feat would have really completed his amazing career.

[@oldmanwithers1]

2001 Sixers had DPOY Mutombo.

[@stevenkunzer9027]

1:48 honestly that season not a relevant team. 21 carried the 03 squad and yes I know TP and Manu were there but they were still very raw and David Robinson was limited at the time. This title represented how TD was the best of the 2000's he could not afford to sacrifice as much he just brought it.

[@razkable]

yep...parker was the spurs 2nd leading scorer in the playoffs..he avg. under 15 a night...the only other guy who avg. even 10 was jackson at 12.8 ...this was duncan and a bunch of average role players..parkers 14 ppg were more because he had the ball so much at point when duncan was resting or not posting up...this team ran through duncan...manu bowen and jackson fed off duncans double teams...they weren't shooters at that time..trust me...robinson avg 7 a night in the playoffs...

[@halowafflebrains]

Awseome to get to witness greatness like Tim Duncan and not have to listen to fans constantly bitch and compare him to somebody else like Kobe or LBJ

[@bustedracquet]

I still think this performance was more impressive than Kobe's 81 because he contributed to the game in all facets of it. Not just scoring. He had 20 rebounds, which is hard to do, 10 assists, which is exceedingly rare for a big man, and 8 and what I think should be 10 blocks, which is just insane. What a performance, in the NBA Finals with a championship on the line no less.

[@buttmcmutt625]

bustedracquet I'll agree with you on that one, Kobe was also facing a poor defensive team when he got the 81 and Duncan did everything in this game.

[@Rockcroc2000Rm1wE3erWmNfkL]

Well, yeah, it was much more impressive than Kobe's 81, both are legendary tho.
