@Tony Black Like I said comments from bitter ex-wives who cheat don't count. She was the only one saying that because she was trying to get more money during the divorce and wanted to rationalize her cheating. Duncan should've avoided the cave woman but maybe options are limited at Wake Forest i dunno.
But it wasn't a personal laugh - and that ref got fined and suspended over the UNJUSTIFIED tech he called. I think it was Joey Crawford - who was a VERY "tech happy" ref before that event, but it was a catalyst for him to straighten his act up and turn into a very good ref after that.
@MUFC so do you just go around making this comment not the first time I’ve seen you do this. Who cares about a 1-1 game. A bunch of pussies running around flopping all over the grass
His 1st step to the rim was lightning fast & the fact that he had handles made him even more of a problem to defend. Then once he got to the rim he could dunk explosively-he could go up for a layup & reverse it to the other side if defenders tried to block him-he could hang in the air like NO OTHER drawing a double team then pass it off to a teammate for an easy bucket. Now keep in mind that I’m just talking bout his inside game lol!!!
@@thetruth72667 he was a nightmare on offense. He did this while being the best scoring option on his team by miles. No disrespect to his teammates but they weren’t elite scorers. Defensive were designed to contain jordan & he still avg 30 😂
Being a Laker fan my whole life. There were a lot of players that I love hating them. But Tim was special. I liked and respect the guy. I guess cuz he seems always so respectful to to others.
Big Spurs fan I remember this game I felt like Duncan towards mj as well but when he said that!!! I was like admiral come get ya boi he talking reckless mj gonna kill us lmao
J F you’re not making any point by saying Like a hypothetical 38-40 year old Jordan bulls team wouldn’t win. But would they have likely won again in 98-99. Yeah. And injuries dogged Jordan in Washington because he was old. When he had big games he still destroyed people who were faster and more athletic than him by far at that point.
J F yet you just watched a video where they specifically described how they beat the spurs in a close game without Pippen in 97-98 season and then crushed them with Pippen back in the lineup during the same season, so what are you basing that on for the following season other than wishful thinking?
@@amostlyreasonableguy Spurs we’re really hot that year they swept Kobe and Shaq although the lakers would go on to three peat right after that I would argue the rockets would have beat the bulls in 94 95 also as Hakeem was just on a different planet dominating the admiral shaq and Ewing!
MJ knew what Duncan said. No way word didn't get back to him. The NBA was his universe. And he still gave Duncan his props regardless because he's secure in who he is and his place in the game.
Yeah because he didn't know the 5-1 who should really be 6-0. And if your like me or Kobe we should really be 11-0 but hey Miami stole one and L.A got the other 5. They think they should be 10-0 as well. Passing them bulls by far.
Look at Duncan's low key team first personality versus Michael's over the top seemingly "all about me" personality. I think that's why Duncan doesn't like MJ.
@Aaron9 Tim Duncan won in 3 different decades not just in his prime. He showed it wasn't just because of Pippen being in his prime as well then Rodman etc.
@@vikaskumarpatel5017 Tim Duncan had a great team from the start of his career and the end. And MJ won his last title and Nba Finals MVP award in 1998, when he was 35 years old. Dennis Rodman ( age 37 ) and Post-injuries Scotte Pippen ( age 33 ) werent in their Prime either. Tim Duncan won almost all of his titles when he was in his Prime. 1999: Tim Duncan ( age 23 ) FMVP. 2003: Tim Duncan ( age 27 ) FMVP. 2005: Tim Duncan ( age 29 ) FMVP. 2007: Tim Duncan ( age 31 )........Tony Parker FMVP. 2014: Tim Duncan ( age 38 ).........Kawhi Leonard FMVP. Tim Duncan did not dominate like MJ, for example, in 2011 he lost in the First Round to the Memphis Grizzlies. He had Tony Parker HoF and Manu Ginobili HoF, but Mark Gasol outplayed him. 2011 WCFR: Grizzlies vs Spurs ( 4:2 ). *Tim Duncan=13-ppg. FG-48%.*
To be fair, Duncan never came across as a guy who bought into the pomp and circumstance of sports. He wasn't disrespectful, but he also wasn't someone who was easily excited and usually kept his thoughts to himself. Even after his last game against Kobe (both retired in 2016), he really wasn't very emotional about never playing against him again. The dude didn't grow up in the US, so he just didn't have the reverence that most did when talking about MJ.
and duncan didn't have the balls to say that to Jordan's face he said in interviews when jordan wasn't in the building total bytch move u can tell Duncan was feeling himself when he made those remarks and slick ass comments. complete coward and there's no "to be fair" bcuz it's inexcusable.
Tim Duncan: “I never had a liking for him” MJ: “He didn’t have a liking for me? That was all I needed. From that point it became personal for me. I wanted to prove to him he had to like me.”
Yup... watching him play all throughout his career, ....the man was otherworldly... mesmerizing to watch.... LIGHTNING QUICK EXPLOSIVE, & you'd swear he could defy gravity (he'd go UP, then defenders went up....then back down while he's hanging, then gets shot off after everyone else grounded....& those huge mitts of his...allowed him to throw all types of deception at the defense, but maintain perfect control....in fact, Phil Jackson once said that it was exactly that, MJ's huge hands that he felt was the main difference between MJ & Kobe...the ball-fakes, control, just gave him an edge other comparable players didn't have. Now, I was born in Jerry West's, LAL's 1st title yr ('72) & became a LAL fan in Magic's rookie szn ('80) & KB24 was the one plyr who's ENTIRE career I had most access to, therefore followed most closely ..saw EVERY MOMENT of EVERY game....Kobe IS & WILL ALWAYS BE MY GUY/MY personal favorite....& Bring... NOBODY like him EVER, those physical attributes, that combination of size, strength, power, speed, athleticism, vision.... it's like the man was genetically engineered to be THE BEST at EVERY sport.....but, make no mistake, IMHO, MJ the GOAT....but give me Bron & KB lined up with him on my ALL-TIME squad...(Magic & Kareem, too).👍🏼

I think Michael Jordan just has respect for Tim Duncan, and Tim Duncan for Jordan but he’s just not his favorite player. He probably doesn’t really care that much about that type of athleticism considering he started off as a swimmer and didn’t even really play basketball until he was a teenager.
Jordan was looking for edge, and if he didn't find it organically, he'd make it up Bet your bottom dollar that somebody tipped him off, and Jordan smiled

It's so funny how these very good young players couldn't beat an older Jordan when he really stopped flying in the air and basically started instead killing everyone with the fadeaway and midrange jumpers..
@@scottstewie5370 Rodman 35 to 37 Harpe and jordan r was 34 to 36 player They all was aging so I just say the same thing about the whole team how did those great young players let an old Jordan , Harper and Even older Rodman beat them.and Jordan still carried the team in scoring most every night especially in the playoffs when it counted under pressure I think he was 36 last Ring. Rodman 37 or 38.
This was my favorite time to watch basketball. Jordan was on another level mentally than everybody else. Tim Duncan came in and made All-NBA as a rookie, which is quite a feat. There was a great group of young stars coming up Including Kobe, Iverson, Duncan, McGrady, Allen and Garnett,who wanted to make history themselves and they did.
@@bentualevao7461 suffered how? And 40 year old Jordan wasn't significant to the league he should have never come out if retirement. He was just another solid player on a bad team it was nothing special.
I was on High school when I watch NBA 25 years ago..The one that never bored me is MJ..the G.O.A.T..he is the reason I watched NBA to addopted his stylish lay up move to impress my friend...every kids want to be like Mike😅..I always trying his lay up style daily.. and even tried the his amazing layup when move the ball from right to left hand on air into the basket..unfortunetly I am not on air nothing but on the ground when I released the ball to the basket🤣
He was laughing at something else; Duncan’s comment was dubbed over by the uploaded. That wasn’t Jordan reacting to Duncan’s comment. That was a clip from the last dance Jordan reacting to someone else. It looked like the reaction he gave from Gary Payton.
No, he had teammates dealing with the "twin towers." ...at home.... In Duncan's third ever game... In double overtime.... With a team that won six championships...
@@nekronbeast3981Way overstated, and of course, irrelevant. My main point was to just deal with what the original commenter said about "MJ handled the twin towers", when he didn't defend them, or hardly deal with them on offense. Of course Jordan was the key to the Bulls success, but this notion that he exclusively did this or that concerning their success is ridiculous.
@Kenneth Erickson Why not? Its crap the adulation some players get while others don't. Look at Lebron. Its Lebron this and Lebron that but the Spurs have easily beaten him twice out of three. Jordan finally beat the Pistons, Ill give him that but Knicks and Pacers were no Kobi, Shaq, Pau with coach Jackson era Lakers.
Kenneth Erickson and that would have been impossible because Duncan never repeated. Had they won against MIA and Allen shot doesn’t happen... they don’t go back to the finals the following year. He never repeated and there is a reason why!!
Same 😂 two forces of opposite personalities... one is a in your face while the other is quiet and sneaky, giving murder vibes to both sides on the court 😭🏀
Jordan is so dam agile like a cat in mid air. He can jump up to shoot the ball & perform about 3 moves in mid air. That's so impossible to gaurd someone who has that much agility & awareness. He's the GOAT 🐐
Tim Duncan was lucky there wasn’t social media’s around that time when he said those comments because Michael Jordan would had dropped 50 points on him that night 🤣
@@TheComeUp96 Steve Javie had a reputation for being a hardnose, as well. I still recall the Blazers playoff game where he assessed six technical fouls, two of which got a player (Jerome Kersey?) thrown out. He gave one T to Buck Williams merely for clapping in mock(?) applause of a call. In fact, there are these anecdotes of how quick a trigger Javie had that rank as the second weirdest NBA ejections ever, right behind Duncan's ejection for laughing: "Steve Javie will go down as one of the most disciplinarian of referees in the history of the league, and he's probably the only one to ever toss a team's radio play-by-play man and a team's mascot." (Source: bleacherreport.com/articles/1442883-the-weirdest-ejections-in-nba-history)
Jordan had the sweetest fall away jumper of the entire NBA franchise. That laugh Jordan gave after what Tim said said it all. Tim escaped the wrath of the G.O.A.T. Man he must’ve had a rabbits foot up his @_ _😂
@@davidpadilla9468 Jordan's fadeaway isnt from Wilt. There is another player, but you stopped watching basketball in the 1960s so you dont know. It had nothing to do with Wilt. Another player
Duncan is pretty much the only guy that can say something like that, and you can’t really think bad of him. Duncan was the real deal and a case can be made that he was the second greatest player ever. Really think about it, that case can be made for sure. Two GOATS that just didn’t connect is all.
Duncan is not even close to second greatest player ever... not even top 5. Jordan is the GOAT. Duncan is just one the best big guys. Duncan also made himself sound like an idiot for his comments about Jordan. Pure cringe.

I love Tim Duncan's adversarial stance as an opponent - something that just isn't so in the NBA today with social media and player followers and friendships. With that being said Duncan was a special, fundamental center, but Jordan was all of the hype.
Jordan was arrogant and talked alot of stuff too. Make another alpha male mad as heck. Also TD probably thought and kept thinking how he was going to somehow stop him 🤔 Never actually coming up with the formula. But great competitor TD
Everyone : JoRdAn IsThE bEsT pLaYeR eVeR! Duncan: I don’t like him Jordan: Don’t sleep on Duncan, he’s the best player after me Duncan: I still don’t like him
Respect to TD, MG, TP and the Spurs. Always gave Kobe and the Lakers a run for their money during the playoffs. They were such a scary team to go up against.
I’m now just watching this video, and if I’m going to be honest, I don’t see what’s wrong with what Timmy said. He never said that Jordan wasn’t a good player or that he was slowing down. All he said was that he didn’t take a liking to him.. honestly, after hearing all the stories about Jordan, I don’t see anything wrong with this quote.. plus, why would Jordan care about what Tim Duncan thinks of him. So at the end of the day, this isn’t a jab at MJ and I don’t see the whole problem with what he said, plus Jordan doesn’t care about people’s comments
Yeah this video is kind of weird. I don’t think Tim Duncan was going after MJ saying he didn’t like him. Respecting someone’s ability and liking them are two different matters. Plus MJ really didn’t care if people liked him
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar I could not disagree more you should take good shots when they present themselves no matter where on the court (as long as its in the players range).....also I think a player can master it and can dominate games with it (I mean Kawhi showcased his mid-range game throughout the playoffs last year winning a title
All the things ppl say abt MJ to make him seem like the Worst but hey he gives Respect to who Deserves it plus everyone doesn't have to like MJ a mean if Tim thinks MJ was " Over Blown " hey thts his right but he played against him and MJ proved whether he liked him or not tht all the hype given to him was worth it and Tim still doesn't like MJ but the difference is Tim will not give him the Respect he Deserves the way MJ gave him his Respect.
I think that was just Duncan's way of demystifying jordan so as to not be intimidated like everyone else. He was real good at controlling his emotions that way
That Spurs team was loaded with talent! The reason the Spurs had the first pick was because David Robinson was out for the season in 96. Spurs were awful without the Admiral. Spurs end up with the worst record, earn the #1 pick, and pick Duncan to set up the twin Towers. Robinson comes back healthy for Duncan's rookie season and they immediately were top tier team. Robinson was still an incredible player, Sean Elliot, Chuck Person, Ginoboli, Avery Johnson and Vinny Del Negro were all legit talents. Plus grumpy Pop my zit as coach! With those two towers defending the rim and destroying the boards plus killing it down low on the offensive side, the Spurs were as good as it gets. Michael was the only offensive weapon the Bulls had and still that Spurs team had no answers for him.
@@pistolpete8231 sorry dude, some typo error, did I destroyed your brain? 😂🤣 Jordan didn't praise Duncan just for the sake of praising him, he is saying look at this powerful talented guy I destroyed him. clear now? or you need some medical attentions and brain development exercises 🙂
Remember this was back then when they actually played defence. On the same physical condition and on a similar "off night" would probably stick 40+ on the best defense of today's game.
As a UNC fan I have been a Jordan fan since Carolina's 1981-1982 season and there NCAA championship. If anyone else said what Tim said I'd consider them as a hater but Tim I think was just responding to the question he was asked and he just gave his honest opinion. I can respect that.
Every time I see Jordan footage, I just have to shake my head about how unbelievable good he was...he went against everybody, no matter what size...even in defense, blocking all the 90s centers easily! How can someone doubt that there could be a better all around player ever! There’s no one even close to him!
@@DecemberSkyfire Jordan was the first NBA player marketed with modern media tactics, in fact they were created by the Jordan brand, so that's why people view him like this, he's not anywhere as dominant a player Bill Russell was,
@@eclisis5080 he was also the first to play in a fast pace high flying fun Era. Back then only a few guys were playing the way the whole nab was playing when mj was
I like how Jordan laughs when they tell him that someone doesn't like him or his game. He's a real sport because Jordan knows that's the closest they will get to hurt him.
I remember this game. I thought we had that game won. We played the bulls very tough but Jordan was still Jordan. After Mike retired then we became the face of the NBA along with the Lakers and a few other teams
Tim Duncan was a psychology major at Wake Forest and graduated with honors. His thesis paper titled "Blowhards, Snobs and Narcissists: Interpersonal Reactions to Excessive Egotism." Is a good read and you can understand where he’s coming from. It’s his personality, he’s turned off by egos and narcissism
Not only that, micheal jordan is high functioning anti social personality disorder, yet unlike jon jones, his entire legacy is unwavered and very well constructed aside from the few who know about his past with gambling, micheal is what jon jones couldve been, and tim duncan is the only INTP in the NBA whom thinks abstract and relates to the world rather then someone whom is grounded in reality trying to thinj abstract, his psychological awareness clearly spots out micheal jordans sociopathy and he withdraws and dislikes, its a form of defense against narcissism called selective mutism, in which someone whom calls a sociopath out will only be initating a game whilist being mute and disliking them doesnt initiate any interaction yet lets them know they cant charm the person in selective mutism, Tim Duncan is the True Goat and the arguement for that is Kobe and Shaq, Tim won more and kinda stole from Micheal jordans later career as he couldnt get a 7th ring, tim duncan wouldve had 10 if not for kobe and shaq breakin the offense.
Yo MJ is competitive with everyone all the same weather they show love to him or hate to him. Tim Duncan wasn’t the only one who felt that way about MJ back then, there was a lot of players who hated that praise MJ was getting. MJ was a savage to everyone even his own teammates
Seeing that score of 73-73 at the end of regulation of the first game brought back fond memories of the days of defense. I miss the days of Spurs holding teams under 80 points
No defense, just poor shooting. Players today can shoot a lot better and there are more of them on a roster. Add in more 3pt attempts and scores today are a lot higher.
@@richb1653 I won't say poor shooting. But I do agree that the higher scores are from more 3pt attempts versus points in the paint. Most offenses back then were built off of big men who dominated in the paint and kicked it out to the 3 pt line as alternate offensive option on the play. Also, half court sets that ran up the shot clock was more prevalent then, opposed to now where teams are averaging more possessions because they are shooting quicker in the shot clock, all started by D'Antoni's 7-second offense. However, SAS could lock down even the teams with sharp shooters.
@richb1653s scores were low in the late 90s and early 2000s cause the pace slowed down cause teams started emphasizing defense since they would copy the play style of the team that was winning which was the bulls
Jordan was aware of everything that Tim Duncan had said about him the thing about Jordan is he's a Class Act a legend what Duncan was saying didn't even bother him that's why he continued to say nice things about mr. Tim Duncan
That part was edited they threw in Tim Duncans voice over the original audio from the last dance documentary because that wasn't in the last dance I didn't see Tim Duncan say that.
Tim Duncan & James Worthy are probably 2 of the most unassuming players ever. I think Tim was just expressing that he was always more interested in the team being praised instead of individuals. That’s the way he played & I think that’s the way he thought
Huh?? James Worthy? Sure, he was by no means arrogant or cocky, but he's no different than many other players of today and yesterday. If you want to talk "unassuming", I'd say that Duncan and Kawhi are the 2 most unassuming players of all time.
That block on Duncan lol says it all, someone should edit a video of Duncan sayin hes not that impressed and splice to the SG "gtfo of here block" on the PF hall of famer.
Timmy was once interviewed and was asked about what he thinks about a certain player, he eventually said something but the face of report was not satisfied with Duncan's answer, so Timmy said what? What you want me to say? say something nice or cool about the guy? Or hype him more, Am not that kind of a person who praised or tell story about anybody. To understand Timmy is, he doesn't go with the flow and he does not do BS takes.
Stop pretending jordan is the goat, kareem has as many rings and more points, bill russel had 11-1 finals record, lebron has surpassed mj in almost every categories. Each great player are great in some things, stop this notion mj is above everybody.
Jordan saw himself as dominant over anyone else on the floor. Nobody could fk w him, that's how he thought. He looked at other NBA guys as kids and he was the adult. An extremeeee level of confidence and belief combined with an insane desire to stand above.
Tim Duncan can think what he wants to about Jordan, Its his opinion and Duncan doesn't worship him like a lot of others do. Much respect Tim and anyone else who doesn't ride Jordan like an uber
I don’t mind Timmy says he isn’t the greatest but damn, you don’t have to say he’s overhyped, his accolades and his talent shows that he deserves the hype.

Manufan909 1 yeah...if ur a Jordan aficionado like myself...you’d know. There are plenty of vids with that reference. I don’t know if you saw the documentary on Jordan entitled “The Last Dance”. Reggie Miller refers to him in that manner because his prowess and agility.
Idk man, the bulls had no interior defense and the Spurs had the twin towers in 99. I think that if the bulls had stayed together in 99 it would have been an incredibly tough series. The bulls were getting old and the spurs were young, I think it would have been a 7 game series at least for the bulls to win, otherwise I would have my money on the spurs
This like mayweather and canelo both from different eras best of thier eras but the one with EXPERIENCE won the matchup while the other was young but def lived/living up and to thier potential and matched/matching that GREATNESS Imo its just GREATNESS moving to a different throne...
If Jordan met Duncan in the 1999 Finals - Bulls would defeat Spurs in a 4 game sweep 🧹 (maybe 5 games ) and Jordan would get his 7th title I doubt it would go 6 games imo

Look at Duncan's low key team first personality versus Michael's over the top seemingly "all about me" personality. I think that's why Duncan doesn't like MJ.
Tim Duncan = One of the all time greatest power forwards /centers to play the game. Michael Jordan = G.O.A.T. 🏀
Tim was possibly just Ray Allen three away from having a prefect 6-0 finals record, same as Michael. That is just insanity.
Wilt was better.

@Aaron9 Tim Duncan won in 3 different decades not just in his prime. He showed it wasn't just because of Pippen being in his prime as well then Rodman etc.
@@vikaskumarpatel5017 Tim Duncan had a great team from the start of his career and the end. And MJ won his last title and Nba Finals MVP award in 1998, when he was 35 years old.
Dennis Rodman ( age 37 ) and Post-injuries Scotte Pippen ( age 33 ) werent in their Prime either.
Tim Duncan won almost all of his titles when he was in his Prime.
1999: Tim Duncan ( age 23 ) FMVP.
2003: Tim Duncan ( age 27 ) FMVP.
2005: Tim Duncan ( age 29 ) FMVP.
2007: Tim Duncan ( age 31 )........Tony Parker FMVP.

Tim Duncan did not dominate like MJ, for example, in 2011 he lost in the First Round to the Memphis Grizzlies. He had Tony Parker HoF and Manu Ginobili HoF, but Mark Gasol outplayed him.
2011 WCFR: Grizzlies vs Spurs ( 4:2 ).
*Tim Duncan=13-ppg. FG-48%.*
To be fair, Duncan never came across as a guy who bought into the pomp and circumstance of sports. He wasn't disrespectful, but he also wasn't someone who was easily excited and usually kept his thoughts to himself. Even after his last game against Kobe (both retired in 2016), he really wasn't very emotional about never playing against him again. The dude didn't grow up in the US, so he just didn't have the reverence that most did when talking about MJ.
oh common man..MJ was MJ world wide.
MJ was world wide but yes Timmy isn't impressed by stuff unless they are muscle cars going through him shop lol
"wasn't disrespectful" ? GTFOH he was extremely disrespectful in both interviews
and duncan didn't have the balls to say that to Jordan's face he said in interviews when jordan wasn't in the building total bytch move u can tell Duncan was feeling himself when he made those remarks and slick ass comments. complete coward and there's no "to be fair" bcuz it's inexcusable.

The way MJ move is so smooth. Never saw someone move in the court like that. It as if he knew 2 steps ahead of the defender. He is like dancing there.
Yup... watching him play all throughout his career, ....the man was otherworldly... mesmerizing to watch.... LIGHTNING QUICK EXPLOSIVE, & you'd swear he could defy gravity (he'd go UP, then defenders went up....then back down while he's hanging, then gets shot off after everyone else grounded....& those huge mitts of his...allowed him to throw all types of deception at the defense, but maintain perfect control....in fact, Phil Jackson once said that it was exactly that, MJ's huge hands that he felt was the main difference between MJ & Kobe...the ball-fakes, control, just gave him an edge other comparable players didn't have. Now, I was born in Jerry West's, LAL's 1st title yr ('72) & became a LAL fan in Magic's rookie szn ('80) & KB24 was the one plyr who's ENTIRE career I had most access to, therefore followed most closely ..saw EVERY MOMENT of EVERY game....Kobe IS & WILL ALWAYS BE MY GUY/MY personal favorite....& Bring... NOBODY like him EVER, those physical attributes, that combination of size, strength, power, speed, athleticism, vision.... it's like the man was genetically engineered to be THE BEST at EVERY sport.....but, make no mistake, IMHO, MJ the GOAT....but give me Bron & KB lined up with him on my ALL-TIME squad...(Magic & Kareem, too).👍🏼

That Spurs team was loaded with talent! The reason the Spurs had the first pick was because David Robinson was out for the season in 96. Spurs were awful without the Admiral. Spurs end up with the worst record, earn the #1 pick, and pick Duncan to set up the twin Towers. Robinson comes back healthy for Duncan's rookie season and they immediately were top tier team. Robinson was still an incredible player, Sean Elliot, Chuck Person, Ginoboli, Avery Johnson and Vinny Del Negro were all legit talents. Plus grumpy Pop my zit as coach!

Tim Duncan was a psychology major at Wake Forest and graduated with honors. His thesis paper titled "Blowhards, Snobs and Narcissists: Interpersonal Reactions to Excessive Egotism."

Not only that, micheal jordan is high functioning anti social personality disorder, yet unlike jon jones, his entire legacy is unwavered and very well constructed aside from the few who know about his past with gambling, micheal is what jon jones couldve been, and tim duncan is the only INTP in the NBA whom thinks abstract and relates to the world rather then someone whom is grounded in reality trying to thinj abstract, his psychological awareness clearly spots out micheal jordans sociopathy and he withdraws and dislikes, its a form of defense against narcissism called selective mutism, in which someone whom calls a sociopath out will only be initating a game whilist being mute and disliking them doesnt initiate any interaction yet lets them know they cant charm the person in selective mutism, Tim Duncan is the True Goat and the arguement for that is Kobe and Shaq, Tim won more and kinda stole from Micheal jordans later career as he couldnt get a 7th ring, tim duncan wouldve had 10 if not for kobe and shaq breakin the offense.

Seeing that score of 73-73 at the end of regulation of the first game brought back fond memories of the days of defense. I miss the days of Spurs holding teams under 80 points
No defense, just poor shooting. Players today can shoot a lot better and there are more of them on a roster. Add in more 3pt attempts and scores today are a lot higher.
@@richb1653 I won't say poor shooting. But I do agree that the higher scores are from more 3pt attempts versus points in the paint. Most offenses back then were built off of big men who dominated in the paint and kicked it out to the 3 pt line as alternate offensive option on the play. Also, half court sets that ran up the shot clock was more prevalent then, opposed to now where teams are averaging more possessions because they are shooting quicker in the shot clock, all started by D'Antoni's 7-second offense. However, SAS could lock down even the teams with sharp shooters.
@richb1653s scores were low in the late 90s and early 2000s cause the pace slowed down cause teams started emphasizing defense since they would copy the play style of the team that was winning which was the bulls
@richb1653 exactly it's kinda of both.. Alot of those players bCk then were just enforcers or role players

That block on Duncan lol says it all, someone should edit a video of Duncan sayin hes not that impressed and splice to the SG "gtfo of here block" on the PF hall of famer.
Timmy was once interviewed and was asked about what he thinks about a certain player, he eventually said something but the face of report was not satisfied with Duncan's answer, so Timmy said what? What you want me to say? say something nice or cool about the guy? Or hype him more, Am not that kind of a person who praised or tell story about anybody. To understand Timmy is, he doesn't go with the flow and he does not do BS takes.
No question, Jordan the best ever!
Jordan is worst ever period
@@samluviano5561 6n6 he really sucks.
Stop pretending jordan is the goat, kareem has as many rings and more points, bill russel had 11-1 finals record, lebron has surpassed mj in almost every categories. Each great player are great in some things, stop this notion mj is above everybody.
@@youraverage90sguys7 sit in a corner kid and look at the wall. You're a tool
KOBE
Jordan saw himself as dominant over anyone else on the floor. Nobody could fk w him, that's how he thought. He looked at other NBA guys as kids and he was the adult. An extremeeee level of confidence and belief combined with an insane desire to stand above.
I fuvk with that comment real shit he had that in his head I’m the Lord beerus you all our servants
In the midst of my 97/98 season in my Jordan Era 2K and the matchup w rookie Duncan is certainly one I'm looking forward to playing
Why Tim Duncan give Richard Jefferson the “ do sumn “ face 😂😂😂
8:25 ... look how excited and ecstatic tim duncan looks after getting his trophy 😂😂
Tim Duncan can think what he wants to about Jordan, Its his opinion and Duncan doesn't worship him like a lot of others do. Much respect Tim and anyone else who doesn't ride Jordan like an uber
Yea just some respect would be enough. Not sure what Tim's deal is, but the quiet ones really do have some of the craziest thoughts I guess.
Was 20 years ago
I don’t mind Timmy says he isn’t the greatest but damn, you don’t have to say he’s overhyped, his accolades and his talent shows that he deserves the hype.
Ric Hicks I’m talking about Tim
Sounds like insecurity to me
Let's start speaking for Tim like we should only legend in 2000s to beat Shaq kobe lebron and every other great star for 20 years
Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Bill Russell

this story never mentioned that Duncan had 19pts and 22 rebounds in the first game against Rodman.
Interesting how did that match up continue though
Yeah, without Scottie playing that game.
@@DanielGonzalez-qx8oo like that would help
@@DanielGonzalez-qx8oo are you implying that Rodman is better than Duncan
So. Scottie wasn't there which would've made a big difference on the boards. Rodman isn't better than Duncan or vice versa. Their just very skilled at what they do.
79- 79 in overtime?! They played defense back then
And that's why the league changed the rules. They didn't like those low scoring defensive struggles. Viewership was dropping.
@@KtotheG need to change it back
@@ceelothatmane9421 There'sa racial component, too... when the Celtics were brawling, nobody had a problem with it, but as soon as the Pistons started doing it and they created their Bad Boys reputation, that's when Brad and em checked out. After the Bad Boys, the physicality sprawled because they had to stop Jordan.
@@ceelothatmane9421 it was unwatchable. The games are too long because of fouls, they would only move late in the shot clock. Nobody would want that back.
@@KtotheG you’re just drawing conclusions it wasn’t racial even though it may seem like it was because the Celtics had a lot of white players was just a coincidence remember that Bill Laimbeer is probably the most infamous of the bad boys and he was white
All players feared jordan even the coaches
I literally just found out cosgrove today because I was trying to find youtubers like jimmy highroller and I’m so happy o found cosgrove thank you
Tim Duncan: Micheal Jordan
Jordan: That's enough. I already knew it was personal
1st, excellent narration. 2nd, TD was creating his own path to greatness...we all as humans define greatness in our own way. Very macho to take shots like that to a person who literally transformed the game by his electrifying gameplay. He simply just wasn’t as impressed as we were. And 3rd, TD, even though is fundamentally sound in basketball, wouldn’t have won a title against Black Cat. A person that is as vengeful as MJ...(insert MJ laugh sound bite here)💯🔥
Black Cat!?!
Manufan909 1 yeah...if ur a Jordan aficionado like myself...you’d know. There are plenty of vids with that reference. I don’t know if you saw the documentary on Jordan entitled “The Last Dance”. Reggie Miller refers to him in that manner because his prowess and agility.
J G (Insert MJ laugh sound bite here)
Idk man, the bulls had no interior defense and the Spurs had the twin towers in 99. I think that if the bulls had stayed together in 99 it would have been an incredibly tough series. The bulls were getting old and the spurs were young, I think it would have been a 7 game series at least for the bulls to win, otherwise I would have my money on the spurs
Danny Ford I do agree with the majority of your statement. But I’d still take Bulls over Spurs
Don't have to like him but you have to respect him
This like mayweather and canelo both from different eras best of thier eras but the one with EXPERIENCE won the matchup while the other was young but def lived/living up and to thier potential and matched/matching that GREATNESS Imo its just GREATNESS moving to a different throne...
In my eyes Jordan was the most intimidating player in the NBA season 🔥🏀🏆👑
You have perfect vision.👀👍
I actually respect Duncan even more. He's a goat type player himself, he's not going to suck up to anyone period.
If Jordan met Duncan in the 1999 Finals - Bulls would defeat Spurs in a 4 game sweep 🧹 (maybe 5 games ) and Jordan would get his 7th title
I doubt it would go 6 games imo
I would had loved to see how Chicago would have done with the 99 Knicks in the East. The Spurs in the Finals & the Lakers in 2000.
