I feel like this finals is underrated, under appreciated, and doesn’t get the recognition it deserves
Honestly I feel like its because America hates cities like Detroit and Baltimore
It's underrated cause of the ratings that year, whenever the Spurs were in the finals in the 2000's ratings were down
It's cause the spurs were never flashy
Of course! The Spurs are involved
Best defensive NBA finals series ever from both team. Defense vs defense
Timmy was looking fresh, Ginobli still had hair, Larry Brown didnt look all stressed out, a "young" 40 year old looking Tony Parker, big shot BOB, Wallace's crazy athletism on display, and both teams playing crazy good defense and hustling the entire time, what a time, what a game! excellent choice for a replay!
If you like bricks and ugly offense. This was the worst game 7 in NBA Finals history.
@@chrisuncleahmad you obviously dont know anything about defense and how it affects offense, go watch golf.
SocksOnFeet forgive me if you will, but I prefer teams that can score at least 90 in a game
Prime Timmy was almost bald Timmy
pretty sure it was Duncan who always looked like a 40 year old
Manu Ginobili with a full head of hair! Oh how time flies.
Vol deMort the days are long but the decades are short
@Mr. Roderick. First Name mate so true im only 28 and im starting to go bald.. Fuck..
Mr. Roderick. First Name lost my hair at 21.
That's tough man!
Dusk TheHunter it was a first it truly was. But as time passes you actually start to love the low cut/bald look. ESP with the beard. Confidence, that’s the most attractive thing my brother.
That Pistons squad was the coolest team ever. Even when they beat my Lakers it was hard to hate on em
I agree. I'm a bulls fan and they're one of my favorite rosters ever
Blair Nading lakers deafeated pistons in 2020
And that set the pattern for the Jazz to sweep the Pistons every season for not allowing Mailman to have a chip in his hand during in his final year in Lakers.
theyre also one of my favorite rosters because on any given night whether its sheed or prince or rip or chauncey any one of them could go off for 40, and they played like a TEAM. i miss when it was a make up of guys that were all special and not just two super star line ups like we have now in the NBA.
lAnd they were bested by a 22 yr old Lebron James in 6 games 2 years later
Everybody dapped each other off nobody walked off. Shit amazing.
Man I miss this defense. Every possession is like a war. Now it's just run down, shoot a 3, and do it over and over again.
they offense sucks is not good def
jayblocks1 yep it’s all about offense nowadays just run and try to our score your opponent not stop them
Can 12 year olds stop acting like they watched basketball at this time? The NBA is fine right now, just shut up and stop finding something to complain about.
Ignorant PosT bro you’re ignorant as fuck, possessions per game 3 point attempts per game and game scores are at an all time high people like fast paced and high scoring games lets not pretended that isn’t what the nba is giving us. As consumers and lovers of the game we have every right to have an opinion about it
@@lakeshow24mvphof I'm not denying that the NBA is different, and more fast paced, I'm just saying that people are complaining about nothing, defense isn't worse, offense is just better than it used to be, people have realized that the 3 point shot is more effective than mid-range, better offense does mean better defense.
Life-long Pistons fan here watching this for the first time since 2005. Tough loss here, but no shame in it. Two great teams!
Mad fouls against pistons in the 1st half, clearly favoring the cheating spurs
Your Pistons were the first time I truly didn't know if my Spurs were going to win the Finals. 🍻
This is also my first time watching since 05. Lifelong Pistons fan here also.
@@ivanfranceschi9139 especially how they disposed of and broke up the Lakers ..yall had big shot Bob
Had to suck to lose that one. As a Spurs fan Game 5 felt like it took years off my life and it's still really hard to go back and watch the 2013 Finals when the Spurs were similarly close to a title and had it snatched away by Ray Allen, Wade, Shane Battier, and LeBron.
The Pressure of Game 7 is so intense. You can feel the anxiety in the 1st quarter all the turnovers and fouls. Still amazing to watch
amazing to watch? If you like turnovers, fouls, whistles, and bricks. This was the worst game 7 in NBA Finals history.
Knights of Ran facts!
@@chrisuncleahmad yeah, well, that’s just like uh, your opinion man.
@@chrisuncleahmad salty pistons fan? Lol
@@msytuser Nah. I rooted against both teams.
The pistons just played so damn hard
bigman I tbh it was the reason they lost. If you look at it rasheed and mcdyess got their 4th foul in their 3rd quarter they put prince at the 4 and Duncan started cooking. If these 2 wouldn’t have fouled so much then I truly believe they would have won it
@Killucifer Almighty
You sound mad.
Go have some ice cream
@@LebronJames-bj3yu over-aggressivess was a problem on Chauncey's part. His foul trouble was a problem, but the Sheed and McDyess played the game right. They were doing their best to bottle up the greatest pf of all time. In a road playoff game, you're gonna get called for more, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
It was actually a major coaching blunder sunk them in the 3rd. Larry Brown outcoached himself by taking McDyess out. It's game 7 and he's a bench player. Ideally, you're not expecting to put him back in the game anyway after the 3rd so just let him play it out as long as possible, then throw Sheed back in. Best case scenario, you don't miss a minute with either guy on the floor. Worst case is, you still end up missing them at some point but you gave your team the best chance to win for as long as possible. Instead LB gimped the team defensively for nothing.
It happens though. Great coaches hurt their teams on the biggest stages just like anyone.
@Killucifer Almighty get out, racist
To this day i wish my Pistons would've went back to back
Manu is always my fav. He can play either pg or sg. He can pass and score.
He was the best this game
Tim Duncan is my favorite player in NBA history. He’s the first person I saw on TV and I my first Jersey was a Tim Duncan #21
Battle between the Defense oriented teams
I love to see the Spurs big 3 those days
I miss good Nba defense
Mr Quarantine why that’s boring now is way better
@@loganh7843 They were pretty much worse scoring
@@MT-eo5vy not even close. Chucking 40 3s a game and calling every tic tac foul is not better.
CPGoat #3 I know I agree 😂😂
Tim Duncan is a LEGEND
Besides Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan might be the greatest basketball player I have ever seen
he is top 5 ever. i have MJ, Magic, Kareem, Tim and Larry bird in my top 5
@@anonymanonym6236 Another Anti-Lebron priest 😞
@@SaiKhot Lebron's not on this level. Only his fans think he is. No hate, I like him. But he ain't on this level.
@@00Mindi00 he carried his peeps to a finals against the spurs super team without anyone and smoked the pistons superteam all at age 23
@@00Mindi00 and carried his team to beat the number one high school team in the country
The respect between these two teams is evident, and it's admirable to see two teams that work their asses off on the court. Even as a diehard Spurs fan, I respect the Pistons teams of this era. Thank you for reposting this. #gospursgo
As a Spurs fan I remember watching Game 1 and seeing the Pistons jump to that 17-4 lead and just thinking I can't even be mad, the Pistons are just a ridiculous team. Will always be thankful to Glenn Robinson for coming in and settling the team down with three huge blocks in the first quarter to cool down that red hot Detroit offense.
Miss the old times.
Why it sucked
Sj S no it didn’t sorry to say better than this shitty year
Lebron James other than the suspension it’s been a great year
@@MT-eo5vy you sucked your finger
@Thomas Sankara Sankara would never have this anti-communist talk.
this series just defined "Defense wins championship!"
And brick offenses. This series was unwatchable
@@chrisuncleahmadYou were clearly born after 2015
Antonio McDyess, another big ''what if'' player. He was absolute beast before injuries.
Gregg Popovich coaching against his mentor, Larry Brown of whom he was his assistant from 1988-92 before becoming the spurs GM
this series just reminds me of that jim rome radio show moment where a caller tells a story about larry brown and his his huge chunk right in his face when he turned around in the locker room of a gym one time in the 90's and this call is from 2005...
Larry Brown took a bad Clippers team to the playoffs and then took the Pacers to the brink of the NBA Finals as a number 5 seed. He also coached a 6th seeded Kansas Jayhawks team to a National Championship. He is the perfect coach for teams that feel they have a chip on their shoulder. It's unfortunate that he went to the Knicks. If he stayed in Detroit it's likely they don't fall apart against the Wade, Lebron, and KG and win another NBA title.
Daily reminder that the Spurs can’t miss the playoffs if there are no playoffs
Edit: rip spurs
That’s what I’m hoping for
Our 21 year streak will not die yet!
@Killucifer Almighty Alright, we see your name. We get it, you're fake woke, so feel free to stfu now.
@Killucifer Almighty ok 2 freethrows for you
IM THE 420TH LIKE AND IM A SPURS FAN BADASS DUDE!
Tim Duncan is such a legend
This were the glory days of the Detroit Pistons 6 straight ECF. Resulted for 2 tickets for NBA FINALS (that was back to back 2004 and 2005) Then 1 ring earned winning 2004 NBA FINALS against LAKERS. #UNDERRATED
Wished they won back to back
It’s rightly rated
I miss the spurs Big 3, anybody else?
@Bruno Fawks Well the Heat did beat the Spurs in 2013. That rivalry was a bit too short in my opinion.
@Bruno Fawks What's your team?
Sherman Ng he’s saying that the spurs won the heat in the finals that’s his team
@@shermanngjazz Heats was clutch in 2013, if Spurs had won that series, I wondered if they would have went back to back?
@@MT-eo5vy OKC and Spurs played against each other in 2012 and 2013 playoffs.
Nowadays, that's the score at half time.
AB21. Lmao when the rockets had 90 points in the first half. That was crazy
the basketball playing nowadays is trash though
Yeah, more talented players nowadays.
@@nickwarriordiaz Ain't that right, you fucking dumbass. Lol
@@TheRafaelBond Easily I just can't see many benche players from the past making a roster today.
I earned so much respect for Detroit. They were one of my favorite teams when I was a kid in the late 80s early 90s. But, being from Texas, I couldn't cheer against San Antonio, they are the heart of Texas and this is one of the best Finals matchups I ever witnessed. Great defense, great fundamentals, great determination from both sides, and came down to the wire at the very end of several games. Hold your head up high Detroit, you were 1 Robert Horry 3-pointer from being back-to-back champs. You showed great determination and poise despite losing this series.
Fuck u! You still lost u asshole
its amazing how little of the game is focused on complaining to the officials for fouls
Blackbean Burger two defensive teams, so none of that plus the players in this game were almost a little part of the old school physical era
So much Respect for Duncan, Ginobili and Parker. These three are legends
Hauger Tim Duncan is American is he not?
Duncan, Parker and Ginobili: in that order
This was my favorite Spurs Finals series, up until the 2014 finals against Miami. Game 5 though was probably one of the greatest performances ever by a player, in Horry. He kept S.A in the series.
Also, this was a great time in Basketball. So many great players, role players & 6th mans. There was actual competition & not jumping ship. Rivalries. Even though this was a great Spurs team, I still rank the 05 spurs 3red, behind 2014 Spurs & 2007 Spurs.
NBA right now is BETTER
@@MT-eo5vy the competition is better, but the gameplay isn't as intense. No defense and a bunch of 3s now and days.
@@MT-eo5vy Hell No!!!!! The NBA sucks now everyone wants to throw up 3,s and play No defense at all, and no post play and overall the NBA is SOFT!!!! Right now
@@MT-eo5vy the nba is better now? you must be born after 1999. the nba is far from better now with teams made up of 2 superstars surrounded by a cast of misfits jacking up 3s and playing 0 defense. you must be a child and never saw the real NBA.
Was it really a great time in basketball? Back then the West was an overrated conference of pretenders other than the Lakers or Spurs. Literally only 2 teams outside of the 2006 Mavs made it every year for a decade.
Can we just appreciate the fact that them grown men played full court defense for 48 mins.
No cap detroit for life baby
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@@gavingibson7471 should be a "forgot password" option
that wasn't full court defense. that was bricks and crappy offense.
Spurs/Pistons was THE most unwatchable Finals. Worst 7 game series ever.
@@chrisuncleahmad ....and you don't think defensive pressure played a part in that???
being from san Antonio this is my all time favorite spurs championship. it was a defensive series. props and nothing but love for the pistons.
Nostalgia while on lockdown. I watched the Bulls championships playoffs, and now I'm doing my 2nd favorite team (maybe 1 1/2), the Spurs. I love that Pistons team. Delighted they were the defending champs. One of the top 7 game series you will ever see.
TD is just a humble beast. Great leader!
Underrated finals. Defense vs defense
Didn't know Tony Parker was still struggling at this time. He was only 23 years old in this series. Meanwhile Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan are in their primes. Come 2007, Parker was unstoppable..
Tim Duncan’s passing is extremely underrated
bigman passing in general is underated. Which is why I'm confused as to why people be on jokics dick so heavy like there hasnt ever been bigmen that pass like him.
@@TheIcemanthomas Cause he's fat. More relatable to fans. Also he's the best passing big man since Bill Walton so that too.
Mo Abu so every just erased kg, Vlade Divac, Boris Diaw,. Duncan, joakim Noah, both gasol brothers,and Sabonis from their memories huh?
CPGoat #3 Dude Jokic makes outlet passes and shit your right he’s not the first of his kind but he’s a different breed for sure. The nugget literally base their entire offense off of his passing ability he’s a PG in a big mans body
Although I will say he can’t be the best passing big man of all time until he does more in the playoffs
Now this is basketball at its finest!! One of the best finals
the defense both teams played were astounding! oh the intensity! when you have multiple all-defensive players on both sides, Duncan, Bowen, Wallace, Prince, Billups!
At 1:39:35 is probably the funniest thing in this game. Brent Barry is like, "quit hugging me from behind lol
Jamar Hunt super gay
@@montanacorp right!
Ong
Think thats his brother too haha
Brent was like "only my wife hugs me like that"! haha
The defense in this game is just insane, both teams put up so much fight.
I miss when they had the trophy in the middle of the court.
No one ever talks about it, they definitely need to bring it back
@@justinbear7862 yes they do but i heard the nba players complaining that they were sliding on the court thats they removed it
Spurs forever, fan from Lodz Poland
Hubie Brown "come on now" was already old back then lol 15 years wow time goes fast
Coach Pop "I don't how the hell we made it" lol you just gotta love Pop man
This is really a breathe of fresh air. I was 15 that summer. 15 years later, feels like I'm watching it for the first time. THANKS NBA.
Duncan, Parker, and Manu and Jordan, Scottie, and Rodman are the best trios in NBA history
Curry kd klay better than spurs one i think
The Spurs were really a dynasty. They won it all 4 out of 8 years (99, 03, 05, 07) and the years they didn't win it all they were still in contention. They came within a few seconds of winning it all in 2013, then went back in 2014 and utterly destroyed LeBozo and the Heat. Also, I think Duncan-Ginobili-Parker is the best "Big 3" combination in NBA history. They were beautiful to watch.
Yep. Made 5 Finals with Duncan/Parker/Manu on the team & Pop as coach (with Kawhi there for 2).
The Warriors made 5 Finals with Steph/Klay/Draymond on the team & Kerr as coach (with KD there for 3).
Lebrons teams played those 2 teams in a combined 7 Finals. So silly the haters hold his team losing to those teams. Harder to dominant when there are 2-3 great teams in the league. Easier to dominant when ur the only 1 (from '92-'98 the Bulls were the only great team.... great teams keep making Finals not just get to 1 or 2).
This is the most fundamentally played playoff series
the pistons in that year is a glory to detroit
another good team after the tough guys
Billups, big ben, hamilton, the other wallace
One of the best final..both teams displayed great teamwork
2003-2005 the spurs pistons dominated the nba....their defense was next level
This was a real defensive game
Its sad no one mentions Tim Duncan in the top 5 all time. He literally won 5 titles and was the guy during all of those except maybe the last one even though without him they don't even make it to the finals that year. He made all their clutch shots in that run against the thunder among others. Crazy underrated.
I'd probably say he was the best player on that team, Kawhi was just more impactful in that series due to circumstance. This postseason was actually the one title run where I think Manu was their MVP throughout it, maybe not in the Finals (arguably, though), but I give him the edge in this run. Guy was just so efficient and impactful.
He is objectively top 6. Him, Curry, Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, Shaq are objectively the best basketball players ever.
In my book is top 6
1. Jordan
2. Kareem
3. Magic
4. Bill
5. Wilt
6. Duncan
7. Bird
8. Curry
9. Olajuwon
10. Shaq
Its sad that no one mentions Tim Duncan played with an all-time great coach, Manu, Tony, Kawhi, Bowen, David Robinson.
@@conflicto7575 If the all time leading scorer isn’t in ur top 10 ur a casual
ONE OF MY FAVORITE NBA FINALS SERIES. UNDERRATED. UNDER APPRECIATED. TOP 2 BEST DEFENSIVE TEAMS AT THE TIME WITH THEIR BALANCED ROSTER/LINEUPS CLASH IN A 7 GAME SERIES. THIS SERIES BELONGS TO THE GREATEST FINALS MATCHUPS OF ALL-TIME LIKE LAKERS VS CELTICS IN THE 80'S, KNICKS VS ROCKETS IN '94, LAKERS VS CELTICS IN 2010 AND THE LIST GOES ON.
NBA channel finally got smart and started uploading classic games, there is a gigantic market for these and no one is providing it so people often look to outside sources for the content.
Duncan is Life
This is honestly one of the best finals I've ever seen. I've been watching NBA finals for 40+ years!
This was the worst 7 game NBA Finals ever. An unwatchable muck and slog of a series.
@@chrisuncleahmad That is your opinion. I remember watching that game 7 with my best friend, his dad and brother. We all agreed it was one of the best game 7's we seen in a long time. We all had watched NBA basketball since the 1970's.
Not saying you are wrong, because it is your preference. Remember, everyone has an opinion on what kind of game they like. I personally love defensive games. I much rather watch a 17-10 Super Bowl where others rather see a 42-35 game.
@@anthonyzarate9807 There’s a fine line between 17-10 and 6-3. Heck, I don’t think a 20-17 game is bad. A 7-6 game with only 1 touchdown OTOH is not good football.
Same for me. Been watching for 13!
@@chrisuncleahmad Go back to your soft 3-point shooting series then. This series is for people who know the game of basketball. It was a man's game back then before Curry feminized basketball.
wow. defense back in the days.. i miss old nba games😬
great battle of best defensive team in the 2000's🏀🏀🏀😁
Great to hear stu Scott 🥺
stu scott john saunders snapper jones..still can't believe they are all dead
Tim Duncan for ever❤❤❤
This is one of the best basketball games ever. Tim Duncan went crazy
You gotta respect a series where both teams are so disciplined on defense. It's almost like watching a hockey game where both goalies are on fire.
You just know that every single point you score is super valuable. These days, a guy will score only to completely blow his defensive assignment on the other end.
such beautiful basketball. great defense, high intensity, the game being played inside and out, great offensive ball movement.
two coaches who know each other very well past 2 champions
Best NBA finals in history together with 1998 finals.
Super cool to see these uber-disciplined teams play. This was considered boring? These teams were world-class.
One of the best NBA finals in NBA history
What a way for Tim Duncan and the Spurs to grind out a W.
That D is insane. This is real basketball unlike the nba nowadays. Everyone wide open.
The best finals series ive watched. I think no team scored 100points in this series. A hell of defense on both teams.
Was that great defene or awful offense?
@@chrisuncleahmad you do realize that these two teams are some of the best defensive teams of all time right?
@@msytuser and two of the worst offensive teams of all time
@@chrisuncleahmad neither of them would have been in the championship if they both had the worst offenses of all time and not an all time great defense.
PLEASE 2014 WCF GAME 6 SPURS VS THUNDER
Thank u so much for doing this please continue to stream these games we need a distraction and I love watching it. Thank you NBA
So underrated Tim Duncan
I miss the cursive finals logo.......
Right!
81-74 final score is like the end of a 1st half in this era
2005 nba finals is lit 🔥I was 11 years old that time and my childhood/grade school memories was all of my notebook is NBA STAR/TEAM. Make this Blue if you RELATE 👇👇👇
Basketball is much more beautiful without those 3 point jacking going on. You can see the footwork and creativity of the players to score.
The nba should bring back those floor designs for the playoffs and finals
I love the San Antonio Spurs. Yet, I am a Detroit Pistons Go Detroit Pistons!
Is it me or is this one of the most slept on games? This is a hardwood classic if I ever saw one
This was a game I’d rather sleep through.
It's just you. This is a game I'd rather sleep through. This isn't a Hardwood Classic. This is a hardwood borefest.
4 mins left and Rasheed the only one to score the entire 4th quarter. DONT TELL ME MELO WOULDNT OF HELP THIS TEAM WIN
Watching the Spurs win their 3rd championship makes proud to be a Spurs fan
Manu was the true mvp this series
Makes me think too bro
But imagine how duncan put the pressure on detroits defense too he is the one who makes all those open shots
Only if you think defense, rebounding and playmaking doesn't matter.
Look at the final score 20 and 14 not good enough?
Statistically, it was close. But Duncan still set the table.
This finals represent for me discipline of two teams. Application of rules technique, talent. Detroit and spurs 2005 was awesome. Coach Brown, coach pop great job. Basket ball win, you know why you love this game.
Winning became a habit for Spurs with Tim Duncan around. The best PF so far.
The spurs just won because they have: Prime Duncan, Parker and..
Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Emmylou fumera norton finals MVP in my book, only one that could generate offense for San Antonio
Gurdeep Singh manu is overrated!!!!
So good they were in a game 7 lol
Gurdeep Singh ignoring tim Duncan’s defends and rebounding?
Don't forget Bowen and Horry!
Robert Horry so underrated and a pivotal and also perfect fit for this 2005 chip! HOF Duncan in his prime!
I think he is the only guy to win in three decades 99, 2005 and 2014.
This is probably Duncan’s most impressive finals win. The pistons during this era was almost unstoppable with their defense
NBA in mid 2000s is all about greatness.
59:36 yup! That's a man McDyess! got hit straight in the face, took it, didn't even flinch! nowadays players gonna fly back a few feet if that happens!
I don’t miss the days when teams basically couldn’t score 40 points in a half
@@chrisuncleahmad yea, who wouldn't enjoy people chugging balls in the basket randomly and hope for the best percentage!
This is the famous Manu photo shot jumping swing his arm after winning the Champ, PRICELESS !!!!!!!!!
I miss these playoffs from back in the day cuz the NBA had all kinds of championship players all spread out in the NBA, thts what made the NBA so interesting cuz all the stars in the NBA were playing to beat eachother not teaming up to beat the teams who didnt have a superstar on their team.
Do Game 1 2001 NBA FINALS LAKERS VS 76ERS
Allen Iverson averaging a 40 in the final round against Kobe and Shaq is massive
@akzepihC boB we need HD quality of this match
Not when you consider that he's the only one chucking shots for his team.
some real basketball back in time.
I was 4 years old at this time so it’s nice being able to go back and watch some greats in their prime. Duncan was a beast but shoutout to Robert horry dude Is a great role player who does everything you need him to do. Huge factor in this game
Both these teams played lights out on defense and all the nasty in-between plays.
We want the 2010 nba finals game 7 lakers vs celtics plssssss... that game is so lit😭😭😭😭
Worst finals game I’ve ever watched
This is when basketball was a chest game now a days it just 3's
Love that block by Bowen 1:31:38, and the drive by Manu 1:31:56 😘😍🥰
The battle of the top 2 defensive teams in this season.
Amazing game!both teams were fighting as hell ,coaches playing chess just GREAT basketball!!
i noticed the spurs pistons both were very scripted on offense in that first quarter...its odd to see...they were not really playing random ball it felt very boring to watch plays just being run like robots in practice rehashing their steps trying not to mess up.....hate that shit...i like the random manu stuff in the 2nd half that is improvised...thats basketball ...i hate when teams run plays constantly that it looks rehearsed..
2 minutes in and Billups was already breaking a full sweat. That's me, too. lol
