Spurs 1999 playoff run is heavily underrated, they got a pretty favorable draw getting the #8 seed Knicks in the Finals but they did convincingly sweep both the Lakers and Blazers on the way there.
I didn't realize how loaded this Portland trail blazers team was it's hard to believe they never went to an NBA finals but it was hard to beat the Spurs and Lakers during this time.
This Portland team was stacked. San Antonio was just better. This Spurs team doesn’t get nearly enough credit. They were 15-2 in the playoffs. One of the best and most dominant teams over the last 30 years.
This, for all intents and purposes, is the day the Spurs dynasty was born. Portland's spirits were broken after blowing this game and they didn't bother showing up for Games 3 and 4. And the Knicks were really just a formality.
The Blazers were done in the series after losing this game. They never recovered after taking that big lead and Elliot making that great shot to win the game.
Another good video condensed very well. After so many years of wearing out Robinson he finally had some talent with him. The car salesman and real estate developer that owned the team through most of Robinsons career never spent any money on Help. They got a few big names, but at the end of their careers. If he hadn’t gotten hurt which enabled them to pick Duncan, he would’ve finished his career without any top name Help. Great player who deserved Duncan.
I was there and still have my ticket stub autographed by Sean Elliott best spurs game I ever went to ❤the Alamodome was so loud the atmosphere was amazing I’ll never forget it GSG!
Unknown to anyone else at the time, Sean Elliott played this entire postseason with a failing kidney that left him feeling constantly fatigued.

San Antonio literally never held a lead at any point in this game UNTIL that go ahead 3

Bob Costas and Doug Collins calling the game. Underrated.

I remember watching this at my grandmother house

Quarter of a century ago.
I love this game
Unless Wemby ends up doing something absolutely wild in the Playoffs, this will forever be the greatest game in Spurs history.
Blazers had many talented big men like Sabonis, Rasheed, Brian Grant, Shwan Kemp and O'neal
Thanks for very good highlight. It is good like GSW vs. Orlando. The atmosphere did whole the work.

Blazers were chokers and adding Pippen just helped them choke even more in 2000 against Lakers in game 7 lol
