Ginobli's dunk has to be one of the most exciting in finals history. It may not be the most energetic or flashiest, but definitely a huge statement after people claimed this guy is too old to compete anymore.
San Antonio was one rebound away from winning a championship the previous season. To come this painfully close and lose then follow it up with a complete annihilation of this artificial super team was one of the great redemption stories ever in sports
Not at all this heat team was great and still younger than the Spurs!!! But Spurs where motivated and where shooting out of their minds best offensive performances in Finals History.
Both of Duncans kids are straight up crying at the end there, i think they understand how hard last finals was and just so happy for their dad. So heartwarming
I remember Manu saying his kids at the moment didn't fully understand why he was crying so much after winning, and that he didn't cry after the other championships :')
Probably the cleanest game called, officially, you could NOT deny the spurs, with there fundamentals and discipline. They were the definition of a team, its insane. I MISS watching these guys play sooo much.
The whole Spurs team is so underrated... These guys deserve the win. The make Basketball look so much more better. Some of these guys nowadays especially the kids coming up to the NBA think that Basketball is all about me. I wanna be the guy who hits the game winner. I wanna be the guy who scores the most points in my whole team. The spurs aren't like that. They pride themselves in playing PROPER basketball. Which means playing it like a TEAM GAME. No one in that team is selfish. Parker can get a little bit selfish from time to time, but never in these situations. This is true Basketball. Who do the Spurs really have apart from an old Duncan, an old Manu and an aging Parker. Pop made this team so much better. Leonard has potential to be the MVP of the league. The loyalty of these guys and what not there is sooo much to say about these guys and yet people say there boring smh :/ They are not boring. This is true basketball. That is how it should be played.
lol good job fucking beating an injured ass Cavs team in 6 games lol warriors ain't shit they would've lost to the healthy CAVS (and I HATE the Cavs) Spurs wouldve smashed the Cavs in 4 with a PPG differential of 15 or higher. Celebrate the win now. You know next year old man RIVERWALK will be back to smash your team with his cane

@@donaldli4755 they literally would carve out defenses with their ball movement that’s what some people don’t understand that’s why we won that year🤦♂️teams would literally get tired out because the ball was constantly moving no time for the defense to set completely
As a Spurs fan, I don't know if I have or ever will have a more cherishable memory than this game. I keep coming back to it when I feel down and it NEVER ceases to make me emotional (in a good way).
I can't help but love watching them play. They play such great team basketball and perfect fundamentals. People who say the Spurs are boring know nothing about basketball except slam dunks. The most entertaining team in the league.
long-time Spurs fan here. It was accurate to call us boring from 2000-2005 when the game plan was "pass the ball to Duncan in the post and GTFO of the way, but around '06 when Pop made Tony Parker the "head of the snake" we've played high-pace, multi-pass basketball. It's so fun to watch :D
Exactly, the Spurs play the game like it's meant to be played it's fucking beautiful and the funny thing is in this closeout they had plays you rarely see from them (Kawhi Alley-oop and Ginobli dunk)
They play a similar to european style of basketball, very tactical and smart, with continues movements, passing, variety of offensive plays for everyone etc. thats why guys like kawhi, mills and so on get the chance to shine. Its not like the average nba team"give the ball to the star player and get out of his way". Ofcourse when you face the usual nba style of defence its not so difficult to outsmart them(with emphasis in strategy rather talents) if you have the right unslelfish players who accept their roles to form a team. This is the reason why in all their wins, the spurs dominated.
its ok. I think the league needs some _smarts_ moving forward. Durant as great as he is is not a transcendental player. The only way to win is with a true team effort. Teams know this and have been trying to take concepts from Popp to apply to their young squad or even enhance ball movement to an existing team that would benefit from it. There aren't many scorers who can dominate by posting up anymore by being bigger and faster. Its easy to take that away than being in constant motion, passing the ball and being in a constant position to make shots count.
BludAardvark did this nigga just say "transcendental?" W.T.F? You're a dumbass. And what's with this "team effort" or "team ball" crap? So prior to '14 all the previous champions didn't play team ball? fuckin' idiot.
As a 20+ year Spurs fan, it made my sports lifetime. I am still kicking myself for not buying a $400 ticket for Game 5. I don't think a championship will ever make me this happy again.
And this was the birth of the current NBA playing style...the league changed overnight before and after this series. The spurs showed the way of the future, how to stop a dominant player and team with college-style team play, 3-pt shooting and solid defense. This IS the blueprint, and they're already redefining the next evolution of basketball..
A Spurs fan from Poland since 1997, when NBA wasn't showed in Polish tv. I love Spurs for their team play, for the Coach Poppovich and for me Tim Duncan is a LEGEND
ilackedtheheart I mean, Chalmers, Wade and Bosh are still there as starters, Rashard might yet resign, and Haslem/Andersen are the same big bodies they had last time around. Battier retired, Allen might retire. For a team that literally had only Norris Cole on the books for next year, they managed to grab quite a few of them back, so props there. I definitely agree that it's a downgrade with James leaving, and that they'll make the playoffs, but because they play in the east. They have too many question marks, from which Danny Granger are they getting, to whether Bosh can be an efficient top dog, to how Wade's health holds up etc. Plus, am I the only one who finds it a bit disappointing that Wade started conditioning/losing weight and working towards top form AFTER James left? The guy's a perennial all-star, that's just admitting that he let James carry the team without giving it his best.
The Spurs demonstrated a basketball team any coach would wish for. Ball movement, consistent high percentage, and fast paced movement with incredible defense. This is the team working together and is possible but rare to see these days from many teams in any sport.
I'm a Laker fan but this gave me chills. 37-42. To 44-65 in the blink of an eye. I don't think I've ever seen a better team oriented game nor run better than this game. They ALL were on fire, they ALL had this ENERGY that had these Spurs fans going CRAZY. What a game, Coach Pop is a legend.
I’m a lakers fan and I remember rooting so hard for the spurs in the finals in 2013 & 2014 😂 they should’ve easily won both times, they were the better team by far, the heat got hella lucky in 2013
I love how the Spurs basically left nothing to chance in this series after the previous Finals and just absolutely crushed and humiliated Miami to send the clear message that the Heat's 2013 win was a total fluke
@@blacksquid270If wade and bosh weren't a no show the heat would've beaten them here again. Lebron shot 28ppg on like 55% shooting. If wade and bosh showed up it wouldn't have been close. In 2011 the loss was all lebron's fault but here he was alone like in Cleveland and that's why he left. The spurs were stacked
When the Spurs were behind the Heat in this game Ginobli said, "Not today Heat!" And he took over the game dunking on the entire Heat team and inspiring his teammates.
The Spurs were so pissed. For leaving that Chip on the table, The year before that they literally took all that frustration out on Miami...This was not even a serious competition!!
Call me crazy but I bet they missed the free throws on purpose. The refs would have BS the Spurs in the rest of the series had Spurs won game 2 if they made the free throws.
Been a Spurs fan since 1997, so I've had the opportunity to watch all 5 of their championships. I have to say that this one was by far the most satisfying of the 5.
One of the most memorable games. It was just a massive party. Nonstop 3s from all players. Everyone laughing and smiling as they dominate the heat. Felt like they won the series already and this was a celebration game.
i absolutely love Boris Diaw's reaction he has to assists that he makes. Look at the three Patty Mills makes at 6:07. Boris is the kind of player that is completely unselfish. Once he realizes that Patty has an open shot and drains it, he is just as happy as if he would have made that shot himself. Complete teamwork, it really is awesome to see
There's absolutely nothing wrong with Miami Heat's roster on paper, the actual problem is how they played. Wade was not himself, also Heat's crucial role players in the past 2 finals like Chalmers or Battier were nowhere near as good. But one thing is certain.. Spurs crushed, absolutely destroyed Miami in this series.
Not only that but everyone from the Spurs were contributing. If you look at the heat, everyone was looking at lebron to do almost everything. Like you said Heat players weren't themselves, and idk why Bosh keeps shooting perimeter shots instead of posting up.
"Wade was not himself..." I was wondering if anyone would recognize this. This happened in last year's Finals, only to Manu. Wade only showed up in one game in this Finals; Manu only showed up in one game last Finals. Everyone on both sides knows that both players are better than they played. Hopefully, there is nothing wrong with Wade that a couple of months rest won't cure cause even though I'm a Spurs fan, I still respect the skills that reside in Wade and the Heat.
The 2014 Spurs will go down as one the greatest in NBA history because of how they revolutionized the game (three point shooting, ball sharing). You see it a lot in today's game especially any Golden State Warriors games.
Lol, they didn't revolutionize the game. If anyone revolutionized the game it's Mike D' Antoni. His style of play is what you see today. Take as many shots as possible in the allotted amount of time. No one is playing like the Spurs today except Golden State and maybe one other team. It's all pick and roll and 3 pointers these days...that's it!
@@drewpy1386 nah, MD'A never won a ship. every team copied these Spurs especially GSW. Jackie McCallum wrote an article about it. Like AceLopez1 said, it was the ball sharing, and I would add the help defense. MikeyD and his 3 seconds or less offense was/is exciting, but defense wins ships.
@@dave210yt Winning a championship has nothing to do with style of play as you're suggesting. Spurs were already winning championships prior to 2014 and Pop has changed up his style as years past and players moved on. It's natural for Steve Kerr to adopt that style because he played for Pop, but he was also an executive for the Suns when D'Antoni was there.
@@dave210yt Like I said, it doesn't matter that Mike never won a championship. The association took notice of the style of play and realized something from that point on. The style you see today from just about every team is Mike D'Antoni.
I still cry every time I see this. The passion of the game, the players, the crowd. the spurs destroyed the heat but they did it with class. *sniff* *sniff* What a beautiful display of the game.
Congrats Spurs! You deserve the LOB trophy coming from a die hard LAKER FAN. On a side note: that moment from 9:47 and on with Timmy and his kids really got to me. You can see Timmy's passion and love for his kids. Great moment in sports history truth be known. Love for your kids supersedes ALL.
That was San Antonio's first Championship since the 2007 NBA Finals.That Spurs run from 1999-2014 was remarkable.Now it's 2024 and the Spurs have not been back since.Maybe one day they will be back
This is literally a prime Heat team full of superstsrs being defeated by an aged starting lineup with only Kawhi a 3rd yr man as a youngster. Damn this is so satisfying to watch domination at its finest!!! Not 1, not 2 , not 3!!! Never forget lolllll
This heat team wasn’t prime wade and bosh were on their decline and it was unfortunate and lebron was doing his things that team wasn’t a good as it was due to wade and bosh declining
Bron, wade and Bosh were a younger core than Duncan, Manu and Parker. Why do people say that they were on the decline and washed. They played an older team but people want to bash bron's teammate's to make him look better
Kawhit was the one that turn the game around and first to lead the score score for the team. In almost all this serie and top seeded and point scored. I do see why you say that, but the lead was already high when he was killing it.
Boun Pheng Manu was just as important in the spurs offense in game 5, Leonard just had more of a difficult job since he had to guard lebron. and Manu scored 6 straight points when he first entered in the first q when it was like 15-2
I love Manu, but Manu is a double bladed dagger, he helps and hinders the team at the same time. Re-watch Game 6 against OKC, you'll understand exactly what I mean. Mad respect for him though because he's one hell of a player, I just would pick Kawhi over him this series
Boun Pheng No. Manu was the one who, single handedly, stopped the bleeding in game 5. Kawhi benefited from Manu's determination and Kawhi deserved the FMVP but it was Manu's spark, off the bench, that turned the game around. We needed Obiwan to have a break-out game to close the Heat out and boy, did he deliver.
I'm talking about the whole series not only this game, they all good the whole team. I'm not taking away anything from him, kawhit was extra special all around that's all
What an amazing game... redemption at its finest by one of the classiest and storied organizations in the history of professional sports. Was so proud to be a Spurs fan on this day.
jrod2422ify LeBron was getting murdered by every one he guarded or ether switched on. I don't never want to here that he can guard the 1-5 myth ever again lmao.
These 2014 Spurs are pretty much the best team of all time, in that they do so many things to perfection. -They pass at least as good as Magic's Lakers, and systematically pick teams apart in the half court. -They run and gun at least as good as Nash's Suns, PGs, SGs, SF and hell even PF can lead breaks for the Spurs. plus, who would've ever imagined Pop integrating transition 3's as a permanent offensive strategy and it working GOOD. -Their D is top tier, and they can REBOUND (finally!) -2/3 of the roster is stellar 3 point shooters! Parker, Ginobili, Diaw, Leonard, Green, Mills, Belinelli, Bonner, none of these guys you can give daylight past the arc (or anywhere for that matter). -all of this combined with the murderous post up play of Duncan and Diaw? you have to guard them one on one because there are minimum of 3 deadly shooters on the court at all time, and nobody in the league consistently can. The Spurs will pass, pick and roll, and get the mismatches they want and go right at it.
Stoner Simpson i can imagine what it feels like to be a spurs fan right now! you guys just got LA and David West for a discounted price...........meanwhile my freaking celtics are losing in the first round XD
Ryan Dupont it's brutal for the Celtics right now haha but idk why I like when we play Boston I guess it's because all the rings. Kind of like with the Lakers.
The Spurs aren't even my team, but this 2013-2014 Spurs team is one of my favorite NBA title teams of my lifetime. Top 10 if not top 5 greatest championship team in NBA history. I would put this team up against any all-time great team of ANY era.
Same, I think this team could beat the 2017 Warriors. They had great 3 point shooters. The pick and roll with Parker and Duncan was unstoppable. Ginobli and Kawhi could get to the rim at will, they had a favorable matchup like every offensive trip, this is easily the best Spurs team out of all their championship runs. You need the 98 bulls to stop them
hell yeah everyone who hated the heat was on the spurs side and all the celebrities and bandwagoners were on the heat side this year I didn't even care didn't watch a single game
james looked like he was gonna kill the spurs in the beginning but they didnt buy the hype and kept playing their game. the warriors had the same chance in game 5 but bricked open shots and let kyrie get going. dray suspension didnt help.
thing with the warriors is they try to keep shooting threes too much , spurs move the ball outstandingly in2013-2014 season and that's why they won it also losing to the heat the year before motivated them
Mo Overall Fitness Hacks agreed and I felt like when bogut got injured than the warriors were in big trouble, cavs definitely out rebounded the warriors and green and bogut usually set screens to get curry and Thompson open for threes
I'm a Bulls fan, but above all, I'm a basketball fan. And I'll always remember this series as the greatest basketball I've ever seen. I hope someone posts the full games someday.
Best parts of this game: (5) Wade got his shit swatted back (5:48) (4) Bosh got posterized by Ginobli (4:39) (3) The Heat got DEMOLISHED (for the 3rd straight game). (2) The squad that played *team* ball won the game & series, to the satisfaction of real basketball fans everywhere. (1) The "LeBron will surpass Jordan" movement is officially dead. 2-3 Finals record, getting outscored by a *bench player* for the whole 2011 Finals (e.g. Jason Terry), and now a 22 year-old, non-AllStar Leonard wins Finals MVP against him? It's OVER, kids. MJ > LBJ. Deal with it. P.S. Whatever happened to "LeBron can guard ANY position"?... After Pop told Leonard to just go for it, Kawhi avg'd 23.6ppg on *68.4%* FG in the last 3 straight games... where was LBJ's "great" defense? LMAO!
I agree after I saw this. LBj is no where near Mjs level. Mj is 6-0 in finals and had two three-peats. That's clutch. Same goes for Kobe. Well Kobe had shaw but he did contribute and has never lost in the finals either. LBj is good but look at him in Cleveland. He already made his new big three. After this you can confirm LBj
NYC Brownman Excuse me, are you saying that Kobe never lost in the finals? He has 7 Finals appearances: 2000,2001,2002,2004,2008,2009,2010 and he has 5 rings, so he is 5-2. Kobe will be the only one comparable to the great Michael Jordan though, they are actually similar in alot of aspects.
***** Jordan's 1988 and 1989 seasons are ones that LeBron could never reach, even during today's soft era with rules changes to make scoring easier. So no, he's not better than Jordan.
***** Refs give superstars across the board advantages. Ask LeFlop and D-Whistle. The former NBA Exec. VP of Basketball Operations Stu Jackson said this about the rules of LeBron's 2K era: "Our rules are *designed* to *allow* players to *penetrate* for *high percentage* shots. This has allowed for *more* high quality *perimeter shots* as well, because of how much *easier* it is to penetrate *today*." ("Stu Jackson Presents," May 3, 2007) ... And how is LeBron better all around? When did LeBron win a scoring title (35ppg 53.5% FG) and Defensive Player of the Year and MVP all in the same year (MJ's 88 season)? Did LeBron ever average 32ppg (53.8% FG), 8 rebs, 8 ast, 2.9 stl, like MJ did in '89? Nope. And MJ did that in the '80s, when physicality made the game far tougher.
Pat Sajak greatest power forward of all time and its not even close. Tim duncan would start on the all time starting 5 and yes ive heard of guys like karl malone and charles barkley Kareem or Wilt Duncan Bird Jordan Magic or Big o
Lebron James Yea, surrounded by more All-stars as well. Don't gloss over that like he's doin it with average player's around him. He's constantly surrounded by Multiple All-stars!
Ahmad2423 L dumbass. Dwayne wade and Chris bosh didn't show up. Wade averaged 14ppg and got outplayed by Ginobli. Lebron was ALONE in this finals. Respect the greatest to ever play. Never forget the 2007 finals where Lebron carried the worst team ever to a finals.
Ahmad2423 show me the allstars on his team right now. Wade is washed, ray Allen is Washed, Chris bosh disappeared. Only Lebron showed up. I love how you go on a Spurs video to comfort yourself. Lebron top 2 alltime
2013 was a fluke. Spurs should've won by Pops error not leaving Duncan in the grab a series clinching rebound. The 2014 Spurs are way better than the 2013 Heat.

A Spurs fan from Poland since 1997, when NBA wasn't showed in Polish tv.
I love Spurs for their team play, for the Coach Poppovich and for me Tim Duncan is a LEGEND
You a bandwagon
the heat didn't lose. they got shut down.. demolished... the ball movement, the shooting was on the spurs, and the heat looked like a rec league team.
The heat got rekt
Spurs played unbelievably.
ilackedtheheart By blow up, you mean bring back a large part of last year's team? The core of their team is largely the same.
ilackedtheheart I mean, Chalmers, Wade and Bosh are still there as starters, Rashard might yet resign, and Haslem/Andersen are the same big bodies they had last time around. Battier retired, Allen might retire. For a team that literally had only Norris Cole on the books for next year, they managed to grab quite a few of them back, so props there.
I definitely agree that it's a downgrade with James leaving, and that they'll make the playoffs, but because they play in the east. They have too many question marks, from which Danny Granger are they getting, to whether Bosh can be an efficient top dog, to how Wade's health holds up etc.
Plus, am I the only one who finds it a bit disappointing that Wade started conditioning/losing weight and working towards top form AFTER James left? The guy's a perennial all-star, that's just admitting that he let James carry the team without giving it his best.
They got ass raped
Back for my weekly viewing
+stevebarnes96 I have to see this video every week
Right, this was a real rivalry unlike this Cavs-Warriors rivalry
+MrDecember91 as a LEBRON fan, this series wasnt a rivalry what so ever. 4-1 is not what i call a rivalry. a game 7 series is a rivalry
+Markus TV Apparently you didn't see the 7 game series between the Spurs and Heat in 2013
you and me both
The Spurs demonstrated a basketball team any coach would wish for. Ball movement, consistent high percentage, and fast paced movement with incredible defense. This is the team working together and is possible but rare to see these days from many teams in any sport.
I'm a Laker fan but this gave me chills. 37-42. To 44-65 in the blink of an eye. I don't think I've ever seen a better team oriented game nor run better than this game. They ALL were on fire, they ALL had this ENERGY that had these Spurs fans going CRAZY. What a game, Coach Pop is a legend.
Extend that from down 22-6 to winning 65-44. That's a 59-22 run!
I’m a lakers fan and I remember rooting so hard for the spurs in the finals in 2013 & 2014 😂 they should’ve easily won both times, they were the better team by far, the heat got hella lucky in 2013
Lakers fans always have to tell you that they are lakers fans lol

***** Fuck the Spurs and their bandwagon fans hope the Clippers take care of them in the 1st round
I love how the Spurs basically left nothing to chance in this series after the previous Finals and just absolutely crushed and humiliated Miami to send the clear message that the Heat's 2013 win was a total fluke
I wouldn’t go as far to say it was a fluke. But def many missed opportunities by the spurs in 2013 they corrected in 2014
Total fluke? The Heat beat them fair and square right or we're the Spurs somehow cheated?
@@blacksquid270If wade and bosh weren't a no show the heat would've beaten them here again. Lebron shot 28ppg on like 55% shooting. If wade and bosh showed up it wouldn't have been close. In 2011 the loss was all lebron's fault but here he was alone like in Cleveland and that's why he left. The spurs were stacked
When the Spurs were behind the Heat in this game Ginobli said, "Not today Heat!" And he took over the game dunking on the entire Heat team and inspiring his teammates.
Miami got worse and it wasn’t a fluke sas choked both games
Cant believe this is almost 11 years ago. I still remember celebrating downtown as a kid. 💩 s crazy.
10 years ago today Spurs fans. We’ll be back up there soon.

Amazing unforgettable performance by all Spurs.
Thanks Guys!
Been a Spurs fan since 1997, so I've had the opportunity to watch all 5 of their championships. I have to say that this one was by far the most satisfying of the 5.
One of the most memorable games. It was just a massive party. Nonstop 3s from all players. Everyone laughing and smiling as they dominate the heat. Felt like they won the series already and this was a celebration game.
i absolutely love Boris Diaw's reaction he has to assists that he makes. Look at the three Patty Mills makes at 6:07. Boris is the kind of player that is completely unselfish. Once he realizes that Patty has an open shot and drains it, he is just as happy as if he would have made that shot himself. Complete teamwork, it really is awesome to see
Because he knows, patty wouldn’t been able to without his unselfish play assist.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with Miami Heat's roster on paper, the actual problem is how they played. Wade was not himself, also Heat's crucial role players in the past 2 finals like Chalmers or Battier were nowhere near as good.
But one thing is certain.. Spurs crushed, absolutely destroyed Miami in this series.
I agree 100%
Not only that but everyone from the Spurs were contributing. If you look at the heat, everyone was looking at lebron to do almost everything. Like you said Heat players weren't themselves, and idk why Bosh keeps shooting perimeter shots instead of posting up.
"Wade was not himself..."
I was wondering if anyone would recognize this. This happened in last year's Finals, only to Manu. Wade only showed up in one game in this Finals; Manu only showed up in one game last Finals. Everyone on both sides knows that both players are better than they played. Hopefully, there is nothing wrong with Wade that a couple of months rest won't cure cause even though I'm a Spurs fan, I still respect the skills that reside in Wade and the Heat.
their bench was ass, that was the problem
elvis malu
The Spurs were just BETTER. That was the problem.
The 2014 Spurs will go down as one the greatest in NBA history because of how they revolutionized the game (three point shooting, ball sharing). You see it a lot in today's game especially any Golden State Warriors games.
Lol, they didn't revolutionize the game. If anyone revolutionized the game it's Mike D' Antoni. His style of play is what you see today. Take as many shots as possible in the allotted amount of time. No one is playing like the Spurs today except Golden State and maybe one other team. It's all pick and roll and 3 pointers these days...that's it!
@@drewpy1386 nah, MD'A never won a ship. every team copied these Spurs especially GSW. Jackie McCallum wrote an article about it. Like AceLopez1 said, it was the ball sharing, and I would add the help defense. MikeyD and his 3 seconds or less offense was/is exciting, but defense wins ships.
@@dave210yt Winning a championship has nothing to do with style of play as you're suggesting. Spurs were already winning championships prior to 2014 and Pop has changed up his style as years past and players moved on. It's natural for Steve Kerr to adopt that style because he played for Pop, but he was also an executive for the Suns when D'Antoni was there.
@@drewpy1386 one may say style while another may say strategy. It's the same thing.
@@dave210yt Like I said, it doesn't matter that Mike never won a championship. The association took notice of the style of play and realized something from that point on. The style you see today from just about every team is Mike D'Antoni.
I still cry every time I see this. The passion of the game, the players, the crowd. the spurs destroyed the heat but they did it with class. *sniff* *sniff* What a beautiful display of the game.

Yea man and u could see the tears from his daughter she was happy for him
Couldn't agree more, what a moment that was!!
This SA Spurs team was a great team, they were thirsty for revenge and they got it in such a dominant way.
That was San Antonio's first Championship since the 2007 NBA Finals.That Spurs run from 1999-2014 was remarkable.Now it's 2024 and the Spurs have not been back since.Maybe one day they will be back
Complete, epic, and historical BEATDOWN and I enjoyed every second of it
The last scene with Timmy and his kids always gets me emotional. Damn
it's been ten years! The emotions are still vivid in my memory.
This is literally a prime Heat team full of superstsrs being defeated by an aged starting lineup with only Kawhi a 3rd yr man as a youngster. Damn this is so satisfying to watch domination at its finest!!! Not 1, not 2 , not 3!!! Never forget lolllll
I use to be a heat hater too but looking at this tells me how cringe it was
@@urbrt2653 that was you ?
Heat really got they ass beat lmao. Hilarious.
This heat team wasn’t prime wade and bosh were on their decline and it was unfortunate and lebron was doing his things that team wasn’t a good as it was due to wade and bosh declining
Bron, wade and Bosh were a younger core than Duncan, Manu and Parker. Why do people say that they were on the decline and washed. They played an older team but people want to bash bron's teammate's to make him look better
Manu is the real FMVP! Game-turning player!
Kawhit was the one that turn the game around and first to lead the score score for the team. In almost all this serie and top seeded and point scored. I do see why you say that, but the lead was already high when he was killing it.
Boun Pheng Manu was just as important in the spurs offense in game 5, Leonard just had more of a difficult job since he had to guard lebron. and Manu scored 6 straight points when he first entered in the first q when it was like 15-2
I love Manu, but Manu is a double bladed dagger, he helps and hinders the team at the same time. Re-watch Game 6 against OKC, you'll understand exactly what I mean. Mad respect for him though because he's one hell of a player, I just would pick Kawhi over him this series
Boun Pheng No. Manu was the one who, single handedly, stopped the bleeding in game 5. Kawhi benefited from Manu's determination and Kawhi deserved the FMVP but it was Manu's spark, off the bench, that turned the game around. We needed Obiwan to have a break-out game to close the Heat out and boy, did he deliver.
I'm talking about the whole series not only this game, they all good the whole team. I'm not taking away anything from him, kawhit was extra special all around that's all
What an amazing game... redemption at its finest by one of the classiest and storied organizations in the history of professional sports. Was so proud to be a Spurs fan on this day.

+Amgad Ragab bandwagon
2024 Man time flies so fast. The Best team ever. Team basketball at it’s finest 🏀🔥
These 2014 Spurs are pretty much the best team of all time, in that they do so many things to perfection.
-They pass at least as good as Magic's Lakers, and systematically pick teams apart in the half court.
-They run and gun at least as good as Nash's Suns, PGs, SGs, SF and hell even PF can lead breaks for the Spurs. plus, who would've ever imagined Pop integrating transition 3's as a permanent offensive strategy and it working GOOD.
-Their D is top tier, and they can REBOUND (finally!)
-2/3 of the roster is stellar 3 point shooters! Parker, Ginobili, Diaw, Leonard, Green, Mills, Belinelli, Bonner, none of these guys you can give daylight past the arc (or anywhere for that matter).
-all of this combined with the murderous post up play of Duncan and Diaw? you have to guard them one on one because there are minimum of 3 deadly shooters on the court at all time, and nobody in the league consistently can. The Spurs will pass, pick and roll, and get the mismatches they want and go right at it.
the spurs have played absolutely amazing. some of the greatest basketball. and im a heat fan
Watching these highlights 10 years later and I still get excited every time I see that Manu dunk!

Just to see the emotion on Tim duncan an his kids face wow, they knew how much that 5th ring meant to him
Great memories I remember this day so much I was so happy and this was the day before my birthday
The atmosphere of that game was awesome! The feeling when every shot counts and they are in a zone making every shot its just amazing to watch!
the spurs have reached the limits of what we can call fundamental basketball game
They added some other one.
The Spurs aren't even my team, but this 2013-2014 Spurs team is one of my favorite NBA title teams of my lifetime. Top 10 if not top 5 greatest championship team in NBA history. I would put this team up against any all-time great team of ANY era.
Same, I think this team could beat the 2017 Warriors. They had great 3 point shooters. The pick and roll with Parker and Duncan was unstoppable. Ginobli and Kawhi could get to the rim at will, they had a favorable matchup like every offensive trip, this is easily the best Spurs team out of all their championship runs.

I agree this spurs team was different although I think 2013 team is just as good i remember when this started I knew the spurs was gonna get it
I love how the daughter of Tim Duncan just teared as she lies her face into Duncan's neck. Tears of joy. No smiles from the kids, just tears.
james looked like he was gonna kill the spurs in the beginning but they didnt buy the hype and kept playing their game.
the warriors had the same chance in game 5 but bricked open shots and let kyrie get going. dray suspension didnt help.
thing with the warriors is they try to keep shooting threes too much , spurs move the ball outstandingly in2013-2014 season and that's why they won it also losing to the heat the year before motivated them
23dlc warriors rely on 3s wayy too much
Mo Overall Fitness Hacks agreed and I felt like when bogut got injured than the warriors were in big trouble, cavs definitely out rebounded the warriors and green and bogut usually set screens to get curry and Thompson open for threes
Mo Overall Fitness Hacks for real though they be relying on 3s way to much

Spurs Nation 4 life ✔️
I think this is the best vídeo in TH-cam. Thanks for all San Antonio Spurs.
Best parts of this game:
(5) Wade got his shit swatted back (5:48)
(4) Bosh got posterized by Ginobli (4:39)
(3) The Heat got DEMOLISHED (for the 3rd straight game).
(2) The squad that played *team* ball won the game & series, to the satisfaction of real basketball fans everywhere.
(1) The "LeBron will surpass Jordan" movement is officially dead. 2-3 Finals record, getting outscored by a *bench player* for the whole 2011 Finals (e.g. Jason Terry), and now a 22 year-old, non-AllStar Leonard wins Finals MVP against him? It's OVER, kids. MJ > LBJ. Deal with it.
P.S. Whatever happened to "LeBron can guard ANY position"?... After Pop told Leonard to just go for it, Kawhi avg'd 23.6ppg on *68.4%* FG in the last 3 straight games... where was LBJ's "great" defense? LMAO!
I agree after I saw this. LBj is no where near Mjs level. Mj is 6-0 in finals and had two three-peats. That's clutch. Same goes for Kobe. Well Kobe had shaw but he did contribute and has never lost in the finals either. LBj is good but look at him in Cleveland. He already made his new big three. After this you can confirm LBj
NYC Brownman Excuse me, are you saying that Kobe never lost in the finals? He has 7 Finals appearances: 2000,2001,2002,2004,2008,2009,2010 and he has 5 rings, so he is 5-2. Kobe will be the only one comparable to the great Michael Jordan though, they are actually similar in alot of aspects.
NYC Brownman Kobe's lost two finals. 2004, 2008. Not to mention you mixed Shaw with Shaq.
***** Jordan's 1988 and 1989 seasons are ones that LeBron could never reach, even during today's soft era with rules changes to make scoring easier. So no, he's not better than Jordan.
***** Refs give superstars across the board advantages. Ask LeFlop and D-Whistle. The former NBA Exec. VP of Basketball Operations Stu Jackson said this about the rules of LeBron's 2K era: "Our rules are *designed* to *allow* players to *penetrate* for *high percentage* shots. This has allowed for *more* high quality *perimeter shots* as well, because of how much *easier* it is to penetrate *today*." ("Stu Jackson Presents," May 3, 2007) ... And how is LeBron better all around? When did LeBron win a scoring title (35ppg 53.5% FG) and Defensive Player of the Year and MVP all in the same year (MJ's 88 season)? Did LeBron ever average 32ppg (53.8% FG), 8 rebs, 8 ast, 2.9 stl, like MJ did in '89? Nope. And MJ did that in the '80s, when physicality made the game far tougher.
Tim Duncan is a freaking Legend.
