- With the Spurs up 3-2 in the 2013 NBA Finals, they were poised to take the title from the brash Miami Heat, featuring the best trio of in-their-prime players ever assembled on the court. And it took one of the most improbable shots from one of the best shooters in the game to keep the Heat in it, demoralizing the Spurs in the process, and leading them to their 2nd title of the Heatles era. #MiamiHeat #LeBronJames #NBA

The shot that changed Skip Bayless' career.
fr tho 😂
Nah it just reenergized him. He been critical on LeBron since back when he got the chosen one tattoo. Wouldn't be surprised if MJ pays Skip under the table for his comments. We all know LeBron does it for Shannon Sharpe and Nick Wright
@@beastmode218 Dude it was a joke/exaggeration
Skip is a hater....
Nick Wright creamed his pants this night
Chris Bosh was a criminally underrated defender and player. He laid the foundation for the modern big man as far versatility, range of shooting and being able to switch onto defensive assignments.
Amen
Before him it was Kevin Garnett.
So I think Bosh deserves the HOF award.
@@xxfernandez8187 bosh will get in next year surely
*Rebound Bosh, back out to Allen, his 3 pointer, BAAAAAAAAAAANG*
I'll never forget that.
Its rebound Bosh.
@@hfhd7889 Oops, you right. Ill fix it.
but nxt year..they almost sweep.the revenge
@@doystory2154 heats defense was horrendous. They won with sheer talent in 2013. 2014 spurs took them to school.
Yes, we know

Wow your life must suck (no offense)
People blame Kawhi for that freethrow but Manu was playing like shit this game and Parker made so many bad decisions. Also Pop taking Timmy out...
Hell
I remember all the memes where they were calling Manu the 6th man for the Heat.
Nba had a secret meeting with the spurs #rigged
yes in other words its called choking by the spurs as a whole. but I still dont know what pop was thinking as he was taking duncan out.
LMAO Parker was in his bag the last 2 min of the 4th
If you're the superstar or rising star people will be petty enough to blame them even if it wasn't their fault they literally do it with Bron all the time either that or they avoid all the bad performances on the team and blame 1 bad play on someone
For every superstar there is a super teammate. Never forget that.
Kobe had allstar teammates, MJ had allstar teammates, every all time great had allstar teammates. The great players that didn't ended up having poor careers like Iverson
agreed. MJ stans never wanna bring up Steve Kerr saving Jordan in the finals
@@YunisRajab Dirk Nowitzki would like to have a word with you...
but but mj and duncan dirk never join the supersteam they build a supersteam to a trash pick like spurs manu and parker...
@@kdaneshyar1157 Jason Terry?????
Most underrated defender in NBA History - Chris Bosh
@huh hu hu I am so awesome 37 year old duncan was still averaging 15+ ppg at 37 against the entire league. Also, what does it matter if he had one bad foul. Also, reread my comment where I said defense
huh hu hu I am so awesome that was the stupidest thing I’ve ever read
@@Loris71734 How did you even read it? It had so many elementary school grammar mistakes that I couldn't understand a single point he was trying to make. Especially because he was somehow replying to my comment. I think?
huh hu hu I am so awesome u act as if Duncan was washed like he wasn’t still an all nba player that year
C'mon coach, you know this still hurts us spurs fans 😭
The only game I can look at Manu and think"mate you done mess up too many plays,now!"
I don't even like that Spurs and it hurts me!
Elijah Ward fr he might have been able to get that rebound bosh ended up getting
SpaceRace144 it’s not even about the shot. It’s about the fact that Manu got absolutely obliterated on his way to the rim on the last spurs possession in OT and the refs didn’t call it
2014 is such a beautiful series break that one down lol
Any odd notice how Norris Cole started jumping before ray shot even went in lmaooo he knew it was good 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥
Jake Marable there’s a documentary on Ray Allen’s shot. Norris Cole is talking about that moment you should check it out.
Ray allen actually practices that shot alot, that's why the backpedal was so clean.
he jumped on brons make the last play, lebrons first miss during that play.. and during allens shot😅
In the words of Ray Allen:
“Lebron saved our legacies also”
www.si.com/nba/video/2019/04/18/did-ray-allen-save-lebron-career
How so?
@@Euclides287 Is this a joke? Everything he did before that final shot, maybe? Wtf? What about what he did in game 7? Wtf?
I'd trust people on the team, honestly.
Shaquille O'Neal - Yeah, Ray’s legacy as one of the greatest 3PT shooters of all-time was cemented as well as his legacy as one of the great *clutch* shooters of all-time. This was just Ray’s way of telling Bron thank you.
That game tying three he made wouldn’t have been possible had Lebron not have knocked down a three prior. Ray speaks on this in the link above and reminded everyone that Lebron finished with over 30 points.
@Shaquille O'Neal Based off your response alone I can tell it’s a waste of time talking to you. Learn how to properly use punctuation because based how you worded your sentences, it’s as of you’re the one on your knees. Dickhead.
man as much as i hate bronsexuals, i have to admit the whole 3-6 nonsense is such an unfair criticism. I believe that lebron deserves all the hate he got for 2011 finals against dirk. that was a terrible choke job. In 2014 i still think lebron played like the best player on both teams even though kawhi clamped him. The rest of his finals losses were not his fault imo. He did everything he could with he teams he was given. i don't think any legend could have won in the situations that lebron was in for the other 4 final losses.
Dman 777 agreed
Dman 777 Bronsexuals 😂 😂
Dman 777 Finally somebody with an objective opinion
Yup. I get so mad every time some idiot thinks the 3-6 is all they need to tell people Lebron sucks. Like come on. Do you remember anyone from his team in 2007? Yeah, me neither. Other than Ilgauskas. Anyone who says MJ could've taken that Cavs team over the Spurs big 3 is just straight up wrong. Same thing with 2018. The Cavs were the 4th seed and Lebron had to hard carry them to get out of the East, and meanwhile the Warriors had 4 all-stars, 2 of them being MVPs. I view the fact that they managed to force overtime in any of the games as an accomplishment. Also, apparently nobody seems to remember that 51-point performance anymore. Sad.
Andrew Sun cause none of that stuff matters to bron haters. All they want to see is him fail
Yooo never change the music! The old one is ICONIC!!!
Breakdown of each Finals from 2010-2019
I like these trips down memory lane
spurs fans don't lol
@@EvanNagao That's fair 😂
Coach... Lebron is forever in debt to Ray Allen... And Jordan is forever in debt to John Paxson, Steve Kerr and Tony Kukoc !!!
Salty lol
If Ray Allen scored 16 in the forth quarter but LeBron hit that 3 in the end, people would still be saying Ray Allen saved his legacy, just saying. Can't please everyone lol
Lebron is probably the most criticized athlete of all time. At least in the top echelon.. most other athletes have scandals, or meltdowns of some kind. Not LBJ. People just hate on that man because he MIGHT be better than Jordan.
Facts
Why do ppl get so triggered when others say Ray Allen saved Bron’s legacy? It’s true. That shot did save his legacy. That doesn’t mean that Bron isn’t an all-time great player, it just means that Ray Allen helped Bron be remembered favorably.
Lol most of his game 7s are against subpar competition and shouldn't have even gone that far. 2013 spurs and 2016 warriors are the only legit game 7 of his career. 2013 I'll give lebron that but that 2016 series was obviously rigged for him.
joceja23 - Because Jordan and Shaq’s legacies were never really in doubt. They always performed well in the Finals. LeBron’s 1st two Finals appearances he played waaaay below his ability. He redeemed himself against OKC but a “one and done” with Miami would’ve been absolutely brutal for James’ legacy.
San Antonio Spurs have hit rock bottom in 2020.
Even Skip Bayless jumped on the L.A. Clippers bandwagon
DeAndre Page 🤔 You can’t miss the playoffs for the first time in over two decades if there aren’t any playoffs
@@jordandwiggins1026 I was talking about rock bottom in the REGULAR SEASON. 😀😀😀
I did not mention the Playoffs.
DeAndre Page I mean 10th out of 15 teams in a strong conference isn’t exactly rock bottom, but compared to their previous teams the last few decades...yeah I can see what you mean
@@jordandwiggins1026 10th is rock bottom if you know anything about the San Antonio Spurs tradition.
DeAndre Page fair enough, but being a playoff contender is still better than a lot of teams typically are
Not a fan of this music tbh...like the usual music more
This is honestly such good analysis. Way better than any of the guys on T.V.
To be fair, the guys on TV must do it live. Coach has time to view and review a lot of things here.
Coz he's a coach.
I can't even imagine what a wiser/more seasoned LeBron would do against this defense now...
Aidan Margraff on god
Aidan Margraff man i just keep thinking that too... not gonna work
Jayden Crawford facts bro
I disagree. Physically speaking he was at his peak with the Miami Heat(he lost 2 steps now). Mentally he still makes the same mistakes (can’t play off the ball, barely an average shooter, both of which the spurs exploited). He has even less spacing around him (miller, battier, Allen, chalmers, Bosh vs. green, Bradley/kcp).
@@RADIOACTIVEYOUTH I definitely disagree with that notion. I am not talking about LeBron right at this moment in time; I am talking about 51 points against the best team of all time LeBron. I am talking about the LeBron that took down the 73 win Warriors. The LeBronto LeBron from 2016-2018 that ran through a lot of really good basketball teams. That is what I am talking about. And he has definitely not lost 2 steps, a step yes. That is just disrespectful to his work ethic.
What's sad is that he played a fantastic game. I'm no LeBron fan at all, but I watched this series live and I remember being in awe of how phenomenal he played in games 6&7. Hell, he dropped a triple double in this game.
We love you coach! Hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy!
2014 Spurs please coach, I need an antidote for this.
Fiction Veluz yea no
Welcome to a moment in history.
Damn. Duncan. Manu. Parker. Leonard. Coach Pop. They should have been an unstoppable dynasty.
They pretty well were.
At least this led to the 2014 run which is still one of the most memorable playoff runs ever.
People always overlook an outstanding fact :Tim Duncan would be 6 out of 6 in finals had the Spurs not lose to the Heat. In the 2000s either Lakers or Spurs would had win at least 2 more chips if one of the them were not in the west
I hated the heatles but wouldve never thought 7 years later I'd be cheering on LeBron so hard and rooting against Kawhi.
That’s because you follow popular opinion.
@@averyavery1470 Kinda helps when popular opinion has a strong correlation w the Lakers fan base
MrQ000000 of course it is. The media pushes Laker worship to a borderline cult level. And the casuals, which tend to be the majority, flock to the flashing lights.
I remember all the Miami Heat coverage you did during this period coach. Man this takes me back
I have not hated a man more than Ray allen at the time lol. 2014 was the sweetest revenge with a 5 game close out. Duncan saying,"We'll do it this time" after the OKC series was so outta character. He really wanted it.
As a spurs fan. that series humbled me. I used to talk sht, but after that 3 I never talked sht against any team 😭😭
@@lionelsenga3752 this season was humbling. Can't win for shit lol.
@@Chandasouk I knew this season would be rough but after the first week I was like lord, this is worst than expected. Can't guard nobody at all
This shot made the entire 2013-2014 season a dream for us Spurs fans. The ultimate revenge.
To think Coach Nick is a Spurs fan, that's some respect right there.
The 2011 Mavs swept a prime Kobe Bryant and his 60 win championship team. Unheralded?
I remember Bosh was so hopeless down there against Duncan.
Breakdown the Spurs revenge tour next
Why only Lebron? That shot doesn't affect anyone else but Lebron? Yall really make It really was only Lebron and Ray Allen vs Spurs this series.
Yes its heat vs spurs but who would have been affected more LBJ or the rest his legacy was on the line
Eric Dupree Yet they get so upset if LeBron gets most of the credit!
@@cia6520 LeBron James Legacy wasn't on the line
will never forget, was on a cruise in miami to the bahamas, all the various sports bars on the ship were filled with miami fans, I was sitting front row at the bar, dead silent when Bosh tipped the ball back to Allen, and BANG, crowd goes wilddd!!
Please use less generic music. The music made the video hard to watch.
Edit: I’m not hating on this video. I really enjoyed it. Just not the music choice.
Jay Johnson yes unfortunately 😔 I’m not proud of it. Gimme a break though that was 3 years ago. I’m not hating on this video tho. I really enjoy this channel and all of the videos, I just don’t can’t handle the music. I never claimed I was better. Im aware my content is shit. That’s why I stopped uploading. But yes, that is me.
LeBron = greatest elimination/game 7 performer in NBA history, good luck trying to refute my point without screeching “hur hur 3-6 LMAOOO 😭😭😭”
Only because MJ didnt let it get to game 7s 😂
no refutations here, u hit the nail right on the head
@@benjaminkirby6161 I would go in to refute that, but he only played 3 7 game sieres, with a record of 2/1 W/L
hur hur 3-6 should be 2-7 if not for Ray Allen
Check Jordan game 6 performance vs Jazz 1998.
part of being a great player is being the kind of player other guys want to be on the same team. People use ray allen clutch shots or chris bosh blocked shots to devalue lebrons presence. Lebron was the reason those guys wanted to be there (arguably wade) but realistically, part of the skillest of an all timer is who and how they mesh with other superstars
mesh with other superstars my ass, he just wanted more help as he cant literally finish the job himself. he needs like 2-3 stars and several appointed players by him so that he can play confidently since he knows he got other guys to save his ass.
gin vodka exactly. He got the entire Lakers team traded for AD which further proves your point. He never made anyone better he just rides their talent and he takes all the glory. No one talks about how Mike Miller or Mario Chalmers won them games in the finals. It’s always, “Lebron made it possible”.
Coach this video is fantastic. I feel like I have to call the friends that watched it with me and remind them about this game and Allen shot.
LeBron storylines were exactly like I remembered them. Your play-by-play analysis almost makes me “reborn”. (Because my game knowledge and sense on that day was much less than today.)
3 seconds in:
Coach Nick: *twerk*
Chalmers was more useful than wade in this series
Everyone has their moments
It happens
Lol that’s a lie. Wade put up 20/5/4 with 2 steals and 1 block per game in this series. And on 48% fg. Chalmers put up 11/3/2 on 39% fg. Lmao. Y’all Bron fanboys are something else!
@@CuervoCat305 wade played like a role player most of the damn series and was useless in game 6 and game 7
nur ibrahim - 20/5/4 on 48% fg vs 11/3/2 on 39% fg. Yeah Chalmers was better! Lmao foh
Appreciate the great commentary and editing. Wonderful journey. Segment was A1. Your dedication, passion is reconized. Thanks
🏀🏀
🙏🙏
Damn it's scary to see how much Lebron game has grown. Like these play's here.. In finals.. Even tho he lost a step and his sick jumping ability he is much smarter now and better jump shooter. And this season he was actually playing defense.
And damn that Spurs team was goooodddd. Heat big 3 was scary. But now after Warriors and Cavs they are just good team, nothing too fancy heh
He played even better defense in Miami he was a elite defender and almost got DPOY
I had to tell someone this about the Dallas series. If you put 35 year old Lebron back on those teams ..... My God. I hate he lost a little athleticism before we got to see this side of him, but he is something different these days from what he was then.
if he allen pass to lebron and took a finl shot again..maybe its 2-7
yea lebrick lucky ray allen saved him. spurs proved it was luck by destroying him by a record margin. Queen james played no defense last couple of years. AD defense contagious to lebrick. AD carry lebrick or he miss the playoffs again in the west. always injury excuse when he lose. should have hide the east his whole career,at least he can keep making the playoffs
record margin in 2014
I recently rewatched this game. The heats offense hurt my eyes.
The lack of spacing back then was horrendous. Every time Lebron or Wade drove they found 3 guys waiting for them. Its not a coincidence that Lebron's monster 4th quarter only happened after Spoelstra put out a lineup with Allen, Chalmers, and Miller onto the floor.
lol, watch 2014
@@Joey-pb6ul Yeah, coaching was key in thise final minutes.
My man Bosh deserves so much credit for this game
Ben Aguilar Bosh did everything to in the 4th and OT to seal the deal for Miami
Classic Bballbreakdown. Thanks for the content, coach..
🏀🏀🏀
🙏🙏🙏
The Spurs and Ray Allen really changed Lebron's legacy
THIS MUSIC WAS PERFECT!!!!!
What changed LeBron and the NBA was the Spurs demolishing of the Heat the next year. This caused the dismantling of the Heat and changed the course of the NBA.
Agreed.
BLOCK BY JAMESSS!!! another unforgettable moment.
13:28 But according to all your Harden videos, this isn't a travel... A gather step and then two steps, right?
Correct. Legal
ez, that's manu not harden.
@@bballbreakdown wait, are you saying Manu Travelled, or didn't Travel but it got called one?
William Hooke he is admitting he was wrong without actually saying it. He’s got a bit of an ego
Manu definitely traveled the gather came when he cupped the ball before putting his right foot down so that became his first step and then he took two more steps
Damn. I knew Bosh was definitely a huge key to their success...but I forgot just how much he did on defense. Great breakdown.
Boy that was a nail biting game.
Coach. I like the new music. Its nostalgic but also fits the story well. Thanks for the videos.
I enjoyed all of the plays being broken down. And how they worked. It showed me the strategy that gets put into games which I didn't realize before. I don't like the message that because LeBron had bad shots and rough stretches, that this shot luckily won him this championship and saved his legacy. The man did a lot to get his team into position throughout the season and playoffs and even that game (including not shying away from taking and hitting shots that you have said are clutch) to have his team in the position to win. But this was really well done on all other accounts. I liked the Mario highlights the Miller highlights (I had to :D ).
That offensive rebound by Bosh never get talked about as much as it should.
Spurs really missing those 2 FTs last minute, Pop taking out Duncan, and even just Ray Allen leaving the Celtics and hitting one of the greatest shots ever. Just soo many things had to happen for the Spurs to lose and they all happened.
Also I'm really surprised you didn't point out how that Bosh block at the end was a foul. Clear body to body contact while the shooter was in the air. That's a foul anywhere.
Love the depth of your analysis!
I was not suspecting that intro
I almost thought Pop threw the game back then when he got Duncan out lol
He did throw the game
They all did, most notably Pop with them garbage subs.
He wanted to do more than he have to
9:50 Wow, crazy that 3 Spurs couldn't grab a rebound that would have effectively ended this series. I hadn't remembered that the Spurs blew a 5-point lead with less than 30 seconds to go in an elimination game. That's hard to do in the Finals.
Twerking and the Harlem Shake were both a thing before 2013 lmao
Popovich basically gave lbj fans a reason to exist
Pop dropped the ball twice not subbing duncan back in and not calling time out at the end
One of the best Finals Games ever.
Always gotta love the long vintage breakdowns of coach nick ❤
It is crazy because no one can possibly question Gregg Popovich being the GOAT of coaching in the NBA and potentially all of American Sports but this game he made several key mistakes that cost him a 6th titles.
As a heat fan, this will be my favorite game until further notice
The game of basketball has so many "what ifs"
Great vid coach, the music man. Please, bring back the music that got me hooked.
Your presentation is FANTASTIC. Please do a video on the differences between Jordan and Lebron. How unstoppable Lebron is when he plants his foot and rams his shoulder into your chest on the way to the rim. How MJ perfected that fade-away in his 30s. Why these two are the greatest of all time. (With an edge to MJ obv, 6 finals MVPs cmon)
Thanks!! I did do this video! It’s up on my Facebook page, but it is a little outdated at this point
BBALLBREAKDOWN link?
BBALLBREAKDOWN - Do an updated one! I think a lot of us would LOVE to see that!
Bro, if you look over at the Heat bench during the Ray Allen Sequence, you can see why I loved Norris Cole during the LeWade era. So much damn energy lol
Chalmers was balling out!
U did lbj so damn dirty in the thumbnail my god
The shot which change his legacy, a shot that wasn't his shot
D Wade attempted and made 0 three pointers this entire series. Let that sink in.
Amazing memories...thanks for the excellent analysis coach!!!
11:51 " And popopvic wants to kill somebady " Lol HAHAHAHAHA
I like the “Simmons Sag”
I was flying to LA from the DR that day and decided to stay in Miami when I found out Game 6 was that night. I called everyone I knew for tickets but it was obviously sold out. However, my buddy Carlos had the genius idea that we'd go watch the game at a bar across the street. At halftime, with the Heat losing by 6, we bought tix from a scalper. Now I can't even go outside. Moral of the story: Carpe Diem...
I know it's not very fashionable outside of Europe, but when you are 3 points ahead and on defence, you foul on the dribble (or straight after you miss the defensive rebound), instead of taking your chances with one of the best 3-point shooters in history.
Best moment in my life as a Bron fan
I though i was the only one who realized the refs impacted that game in the finals seconds with that review. It was a clear 3 pointer. The ref standing the closest called it. this prevented the spurs from making a quick play before the heat could settle their defense.
man danny green's strips is nasty😮
you content is blessed man, keep up the good stuff !!!
Thx so much!! 🙏🙏
Mike miller is an underrated 3 point shooter
The Spurs would have a Contending Team right now , if Kawhi Never Left .
They would be, but the organisation legitimately lost his trust, which was seconded by another player.
Tony parker is probably the most underrated player of all time
I beg you to make an analysis on why step-backs now a days are more effective and aren’t blocked like Parker’s
"We were introduced to the harlem shake"
Cries in Pink Guy
Not agreeing with the heat having "bad defensive principles". They were a consistent top 5 defense. They also were a pretty athletic team, with Power Forwards as defensive anchors. So an aggressive Defensive ballscreen Coverage made some sense, especially, when it was built in the summer of 2010. "Ice defense" was just beginning and few Teams were able to move the ball like the spurs or shoot a lot of threes. So it made sense to make superstars get rid of the ball like kobe, pierce, durant in ballscreen situations
That tumbnail ☠️😂
More like this coach!!! Great job, I'm in!
Coach, you forgot to mention that Tim Duncan got on the floor illegaly in the 5 final seconds of regulation
Who cares, Spurs lost. It's not like it changed the game in any way.
Twerking was always a thing in the black community. Its just that when white girls started doing it it became trendy
That’s interesting
Robin Thicke didn't produce that song. Pharell Williams did. And let's not like tons of other musicians haven't been doing the same thing way before that and it will continue well after
adding salt to the unhealed wound
It was in this game that LeBron discovered the power he had once he took off the headband. Even though he wore it for a couple more seasons afterwards. Deep down he knew the secret to unlocking God-Mode was ditching the headband
I like how nobody points out Chis Bosh's clutch defense and rebounding smh
