I remember Kevin Willis getting a put back DUNK vs the Lakers in the previous round. The ADMIRAL was the foundation, DUNCAN took it to a whole nother level
the shortage of the time in early 2000s nba finals videos means that the defensive part of game was so much important back then. But now every player tries to improve his offensive playing and leaves the defense to others. Everything is different now, 3 point plays are much much more important and the challenge between offensive player and defensive players are rare nowadays; that's why they say nba's soft in 2010s, and they are correct about that.

Jason Kidd would win a championship 8 years later with Spurs fellow rival Dallas Mavericks when they got redemption against the Miami Heat and they even embarrassed LeBron James
That's sad that Kid and Vince lost in the finals twice in a row. They lacked that killer instinct. Their big 3 could of been special (Jefferson, Kid, and Carter)
One of the lamest NBA Finals series of all time. A boring Spurs team against a boring, mediocre 49 regular season wins Nets team. I wish there was a way both of these teams could have lost this series. It's no coincidence that this series produced some of the lowest ratings for an NBA Finals ever. It makes sense as to why David Stern didn't like the San Antonio Spurs. The NBA is also a business and an NBA Finals matchup as dull and uninteresting as this is simply bad for business.

And It is true that the best players from all over the world try to make it to the NBA so it pretty much is. The worst NBA teams could easily defeat most national teams .
Dude most players on the Spurs roster were foreign at this time. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili were all born outside the U.S. and also, the Spurs would rape any foreign team you asked them to play. America is the best in the world at football, basketball, and baseball.
