I remember watching this game as a young kid. I wanted the Spurs to win so bad. Duncan has been my favorite player ever since and always will be my favorite player. It would mean so much to see him get number 5 tomorrow night. GO SPURS GO!!!!
Thank you Timmy for everything i experienced you winning three titles this one, the 2007 & 2014.. It meant everything to me that you stuck with this team your whole career & now you're one of the G.O.A.T... Thank you Theodore Timmy Duncan
@@matheusccunha Are you stupid? So Im guessing you think the Spurs VS Cleveland game was good. They went back and fort in this series. Spurs just edge them in game 7
@@matheusccunha Definately not one of the worst finals. The Spurs beating the Pistons after that 0.4 second fiasco, and the Pistons going for Back to Back rings only to be beaten by the Spurs was an amazing finals. Your opinion is not valid, I don’t think your a Spurs fan either.
You know what i love here? The support Robinson give to this team, i watch him sunday night celebrating with tim and other players, cheering, screaming and be happy, all in all because his former team mates won, and i watch him doing the same thing 9 years ago... uff... thats the kind of thing i love from this team, go spurs!
Back in 90s I didn't know much about basketball, but the calm psychological state of mind of Duncan immediately caught my attention. He has this quiet demeanor that is so different from many trash-talkers. I remember when i saw his early games - already loved his playing style, not flashy or flamboyant. One of the most unassuming, humble player and person on and off court.
Probably the least watched NBA Finals, but it featured truly great TEAMS. Not necessarily the best players. But they were both two phenomenal teams with great passing, balance, unselfishness and unity.
I remember I missed game 7 because I was in Hawaii at a Luau. I remember being upset I couldn't watch the game because I had watched every game before in this series and hearing the outcome of the game was the best. I got my championship t-shirt soon after and a replica basketball with the Sports Illustrated magazine & I think a DVD came with that? This comment is pointless, but I was fucking excited over that title, I was like 12 years old. Good memories. I'm hoping for another title this year, revenge on the Heat and Timmy to get his 5th ring. GO SPURS GO
This series made me a hardcore spurs fans i remember saying "Hearts of the Champion" everytime a spur made a basket. Since 2005 i became a spurs fanatic through there fall until they rise again. it gives me a tear in the eye that in my lifetime i witness greatness. #GSG
Tim Ducan is great, no doubt about it, but I really feel Manu Ginobli should have won the Finals MVP, Tim Duncan had already won two, and Tony Parker would win the MVP in the next Championship, it would have been nice for all three to win at least an MVP. Ginobli deserved it in 2005 in my opinion. Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker all winning MVPs would have been pretty mind blowing, and they are all still together, older, and they're still doing it. One of the most complete teams of all-time.
But that finals mvp puts him in a category with Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Shaquille O'Neal. Bill Russell would be in this category had they awarded finals mvps back then
Duncan is a type of players who can make his teammate play better. Manu is great but Timmy is like a foundation of the team. Another player I can think of is Steve Nash.
Hard fought game. Games 5-7 really made the series. Just tough, defensive-based classics. I'm a Lakers fan, but I always enjoyed Tim Duncan's game and am gonna miss him whenever he decides to retire.
Such a boss. When he was introduced dude just walked out like lets get this shit done. No jumping around or acting foolish. Best PF of all time no doubt. Hes still killing it at 37
Great finals series and a lot of respect to Detroid. They might have deserved it as much as the Spurs, even though San Antonio was slightly better at the end.
Agreed ! To most people, Duncan had "nobody's" on his team in 05. He had (still has) GREAT players around him, but people dont give them enough credit. Duncan can win championships without Superstars. :)
As a die hard Ginobili fan, MVP or Co MVP he should be there. But still happy for Duncan. When you have Ben, Rasheed and Mcdyess defending you, man, Duncan was just amazing.
Manu was the real MVP. He was most efficient from the field, shooting over 49 percent against 41 percent of TD. Manu lead the team in Assist, 3 point maded and steals, and was a clutch time maching. 20 ppg against 18; c’mon.
Manu could be the MVP in this series, Duncan average a double double that's why he won it. But, if Ginobli one this one, each of the big 3 have their own finals mvp... Then you add kahwi.
As much as Manu such a dominance present in these series but through average in all stats he couldn't beat Timmy. BUT then again Basketball is a TEAM effort as Duncan said on his speech that all these guys laid on a line, all of them were MVP. I mean this is Timmy Duncan he wouldn't be bother if the trophy went to Manu, as long he got the championship in the end that's the bottom line. And that's what created the longevity of the Big Three of Spurs.
david santoso Stupid comment. Timmy was their anchor defensively, hit clutch shots and made the right plays in Game 7, and kept the Spurs alive and helped them win Game 5 (along with Horry and his game winning shot, which Manu assisted on). Manu was just as great as Timmy for 3 of the 4 wins, but Duncan’s performance in a CRUCIAL Game 5 (26 points and 19 rebounds), as well as his contribution defensively, definitely earned him the award. I wouldn’t have been mad if Manu won Finals MVP, but you don’t know shit if you try to denigrate what Duncan did that series
+cikif Duncan legitimately could have been MVP for any of them. For sure in 2007. I mean he was reason Lebron couldn't go to the hoop. In 2014, Kawhi struggled in games 1+2. If spurs went down 0-2 heading to Miami, it could have been a different series. Kawhi was great in games 3-5.
It's tough for them to choose a single player on a team especially like the Spurs. All of them are talented and an argument can easily be made trying to choose another spur for the Mvp
Duncan is well deserved for the MVP, I just wished Manu Ginobili had co MVP or something... he was spectacular this series... then Spurs would have 3 finals mvp on the same team!
I remember watching this game as a young kid. I wanted the Spurs to win so bad. Duncan has been my favorite player ever since and always will be my favorite player. It would mean so much to see him get number 5 tomorrow night. GO SPURS GO!!!!
And he did. And now, he has retired. What a legend.
Wyatt McCann i can only imagine how proud you were when he won again
playing or not.. TD will always be my all-time favorite NBA player.#legend
Robinson is a true friend.. genuinely happy for the team.
Thank you Timmy for everything i experienced you winning three titles this one, the 2007 & 2014.. It meant everything to me that you stuck with this team your whole career & now you're one of the G.O.A.T... Thank you Theodore Timmy Duncan

This series had everything, blowouts, nail biters, rough physical play, and beautiful basketball.
He was only in his 8th season. 3 championships, 3 Finals MVPs, 2 MVPs..all at just 29 years old. One of the Goats!

A man of great modesty and integrity, and skills that outmatches practically everyone in the NBA.
Duncan deserved the finals MVP. Don't give me Manu. Duncan was the defensive anchor for the Spurs!!
Manu had a case, he played great, almost as many points in about 15 less minutes a game; was the offensive anchor when they needed him to be
Probably the least watched NBA Finals, but it featured truly great TEAMS. Not necessarily the best players. But they were both two phenomenal teams with great passing, balance, unselfishness and unity.
Duncan was really the only all time player of all.
His humility is just amazing,he is such a unique player.

Watch the whole series tim duncan set the whole phase
@@nycEast46thStreet Agreed, Ginobili got hurt in Games 3 and 4, maybe that hurt his chances. But I think Ginobili balled out this series though!
Best PF ever.
I really wanna see this again! Go spurs go!
RIP NBA.
Best series I ever saw.
coach pop first move after winning the game, go to the other side and hug the opposite team head coach. Love it.
yeah after all he worked with larry brown for years as his assistant coach
Man,I really wanted to see this again this year..just one more time.Go Spurs!!
I really enjoyed these two teams in the Finals. Both are awesome complete teams and terrific defenses.
I got chills when he said Most valuable player Tim Duncan.. hope to hear that in a month Go Spurs Go!
Hope to see this again this year!! Go Spurs Go!!!

awesome upload. thank you. I hope the spurs go far this year.
I love you sooooo much Tim.... ♡

Thank you for serving!
Man!!! something to remember about..indeed, theodore timothy duncan is the best power forward of all times.
always happy to see you in my comments section
just saw this video. great upload!! i love TD
I remember being so nervous when this game was on because I wanted Duncan and Co. to win again. Kind of makes me nervous again just watching this.
Tim Duncan is my favorite player ever and in my mind the best big man who ever played
Hakeem?
He's the best player to ever play the game
Legend.
timmy was consistent in this series,,,win or lose!!!
A legend forever spurs 2013 champions
Great Finals, it had everything!
This spurs would beat the miami heat easily
so did the current spurs ;)
he will get a ring this year hopefully (lakers fan here) (i mean i dont like the spurs but tim duncan is one of my favortie playerz)
what amazed me is that he can pretty much still play like this. seems like his skills dont have an expiration date
the real mvp was ginobili
And honestly, Tim probably wouldn't have minded if Manu was MVP.
Both of them deserved it, just like in 2014 it could’ve easily been Tim instead of Kawhi.
As a die hard Ginobili fan, MVP or Co MVP he should be there. But still happy for Duncan. When you have Ben, Rasheed and Mcdyess defending you, man, Duncan was just amazing.
Last quarter of game 7 Duncan went all in
Bullshit. He will be in the Hall of Fame because of Tim Duncan.
What is the name of music in 6:15?
Timmy bring this tonight!
Thanks for that dude!
good to see that david robinson are always there for the spurs
I agree. Manu was just insane that series. both were deserving imo
It's bright as ever spurs finna win the champion Thursday
This series was the closest at it got of teams with the right way playing each other as pop comes from the Larry brown coaching tree
