Robert horry is the sole reason why the spurs won this game in the clutch. And surprisingly Tim Duncan is the reason why they went into overtime in the first place.
Yea big Timmy was lowkey selling
That final play by Pop after the timeout was key, too.
That dunk, sheesh
*unsurprisingly
Giannis shoots FT just like Timmy. They both take long time just to brick them FT
Underrated Finals Match-up right here. Everything that basketball represents and how it should be played was in this series.
Least watched finals but one of the best finals in nba history

The pace was so slow compared to now
Leaving Horry wide open in clutch time is an uncharacteristic mistake from such a great defensive team, and they lose the championship because of this one mistake
They overplayed sheed that season so he made a boneheaded mistake...should of kept okur...a big reason why they won in 04 was they had corliss elden and okur helping out sheed and ben...sure they got mcdyess to spell the loss of corliss and a little bit okur but with elden older they rellied a lot more on sheed and he was clearly tired by this point...their big men wearing on teams got them a ring the year before...should of kept okur
I agree. Shouldâve kept okur
Horry is a assassin shooter at that time, luckily the spurs get horry in unrestricted free agent...
He who makes the least amount of mistakes.
@@mahmoudbibbyfofanai disagree. McDyess is as good as Okur. It was a mistake of Rasheed leaving Horry wide open
Billups the most underrated unappreciated pg of the 2000s
I think you projecting lol no one thinks that
He got a championship thatâs not true
So underrated and underappreciated they gave him the 2004 Finals MVP instead of Big Ben or Rip
yup, it sucks he took on that dumpster fire of a job at portland though XD gonna ruin his legacy
@@greenderp damn you sound like a professional fortune teller. You just know for a fact Billups won't have any success there. Geez you're amazing
that court is so hardđ€Ż they need to put that trophy logo on every finals game to make it feel like the championship more
I think they got rid of it Bc players were complaining about it being slippery. That trophy did look hard tho Ngl
@@birdoanimations4428 i can see that. i wouldâve thought it was a distraction or sum but damn. they should buff it or use different materials
@@smartino546 Fr. They just being lazy tbh
They did it from 2000 to 2009 or 2010. IMO and Ik Iâm probably gonna get ripped but I think the Larry OâBrian trophy looks way better on every eastern conference teamâs arena with the exception of the spurs and the mavs. The best looking one imo is probably Boston or Detroit. Miami has a great looking one too
Hell no that trophy logo in the middle of the court was an eye sore i was so glad when they got rid of it
This was one of the greatest final series ever. Everybody slept on it because it didn't have big stars but there where plenty of great fundamentally sound players.
Mane This series was trash remind me of students vs faculty basketball game back in high school
Only spurs and piston fans liked this series
@@triplebw youâre a goofy and donât know ball
@@triplebw now say that without tears

I'm from San Antonio and as a Spurs fan I have complete respect for Detroit. One of the most intense, evenly match Finals I've ever seen.
Ben Wallace is so physical I swear đ
@@AnonymousLurker He was a BEAST!
We will eventually be matched up again, because weâre both in rebuilding mode
Right back atcha
Spurs fan myself, and this Finals matchup was very intense. Detroit was so damn good and I respect the team they had assembled that let them get one championship.
This Finals came down to game 7 and tied going into the 4th quarter. As good as it gets and one of my favorite Finals ever.
We lost that game 7 by going 2 for 14 from the 3 line đ€ŠđŸââïž
Bring back the trophy logo
ABSOLUTELY ! Looks stunning, I dont really know why they removed it in the first place...
@@strangehousev players disliked it because it was slippery
No
That dunk by Horry was insane in todays game that would be all over the media
for real
R.I.P. Hamilton, murdered by Robert Horry with a killer dunk in 2005.
The 05 Spurs had one of the most impressive paths to the ring in history. They beat the best offensive team (Suns) in the WCF, and then they beat the best defensive team (Pistons) in the Finals.
They did not deserve that series against the Suns, ridiculous robbery
03 Spurs had a better path though.
- Beat the best offensive team (Mavs) in WCF.
- Beat the best defensive team (Nets) in Finals.
- But before that, they dethroned the 3-time NBA Champs (Lakers) in Semis.
@@SolaceAndBane Bruh they beat them 4-1 it wasn't even close
@@SolaceAndBane you canât possibly be serious. They beat them in 5 and won all 3 games in Phoenix đ
Amari Stoudimire got suspended for a game for leaving the bench area.
Hard to believe how bad Duncan was in this game. Horry bailed him out. No wonder Horry says that Hakeem was better than Duncan and Shaq.
Idk how Big Shot Rob isn't in the Hall Of Fame he was a major contributor on all the Championship teams he played in.
You talking about Horry huh? Facts and people talk about him like he wasn't a major factor for those championship teams
@@milosmitic2071Yes and they do Idk why I watched a Rockets documentary on their 2nd Championship and Horry was in there playing his heart out.
@@kmena05 dude a legend..3 different teams and won championships. Even doe he didn't have the highest stats he still had minutes and made huge shots he wasn't just no bench warmer that kept his jumpsuit on for the whole game
Well, he was never even the 3rd option on any of the championship teams except the 1995 Rockets. He did have many great moments tho
@@milosmitic2071 he is some of those teams wouldn't have won those titles if it wasn't for him he literally put the Spurs on his back in game 3 of the 2005 NBA Finals.
Robert Horry is so fucking Underrated Man.
Robert horry is a better clutch 3 point shooter than curry
@@leultrainstinct406 hell no I know you did not just say that no way this nigga just said this
@@leultrainstinct406 you drunk
Can't think of any NBA player 90's on who hit more clutch shots, he didnt miss many
Everyone seems to forget his big finals games in 94 95 and 05...dude had the clutch gene
Back when they wouldn't call foul on every contested shot
Okczcams.com/video/a1j9owBuwdQ/video.html
Chauncy got BS calls all game, wouldnt even have gone to OT if not for those
What are you talking about? There were more fouls back then compare to today lol
They donât really call much for fouls in the playoffs let alone finals whether itâs 2005 or 2022
@@sportsgamer2342 yeah people are making up stuff and actually beliving them .in 05 finals both teams are commited to total of 291 fouls and this year teams are commited to 222 fouls but people thinks everything is foul todays game lol.
To this day, I still don't understand why at 8:21 they doubled Ginobili in the corner and left the inbounder Robert Horry, one of the best clutch shooters in the history of the NBA, wide open for that game winner.
Rasheed wallace wasnt thinking.....he out of all people should remember how lethal Robert horry was especially from all those days playing on portland and facing the lakers.....however you can tell he wasnt thinking and saw ginobli stuck in the corner and decided to help trap him only to end up leaving one of the most clutch three point shooters open
czcams.com/video/a1j9owBuwdQ/video.html
Agh! It still hurts!
Really that was a "bad defense".
They probably expected Manu (having a clutch gene and all) to make the game winning play, but the pistons forgot who was hot down the stretch.
I remember this game like it was yesterday. It was amazing for the Pistons to go back to the finals back-to-back years. I knew in that final moment tho, when they left Horry wide open, he was going to make it. Horry was the clutch player that game. I hope the Pistons make it back one day. Till then I'm going to continue to support, no matter how good or bad they are.
They had a good draft class, now itâs time to develop and play them.
In the next 6 years Detroit will have another ring pistons getting at least 1 within Cadeâs career
Me too,but I admit it's getting harder to be a fan. This whole coach situation is not good. And when a proven coach is available they aren't interested...WHY???
Stupidity, racism, society getN stupid â@@markwood3440
'05 Finals is definitely on elf the most underrated Finals series since the turn of the century. A defensive battle complimented by stellar offense. The good ole days of basketball đ„
Year 2005 when i started watching NBA and Pistons was my first love of all teams bcoz of my jersey bought by my mother...and this three point shot by Horry was unforgettable to me and the reason why i came here watch it again after 17 years...
Yeah right
Same here
This Pistons team was very deep. Nobody was a huge NBA star, but every single player in their starting lineup were very good, as well as some in the bench. This reminds me of the Blazers in 2001, with Stoudemire, Steve Smith, Pippen, Rasheed and Sabonis.
Naw not even close with that Blazers squad, Bench Bonzi , Anthony, Shrimp, Grant , O'Neal. All these guys became full time starts or used to be. Outside of McDyess. The Detroit bench was trash The 04 bench was better. But the Blazers didn't play lockdown Defense. I'm Rasheed Wallace fan. He was a monster with the Blazers. Detroit had better leadership vs The Blazers.
this still hurts. Im a big fan of this piston team and that clutch 3 by horry still breaks my heart. If sheed didnt lost his mind double teaming manu and leaving horry wide open this was a back to back for pistons as they won the next game in san antonio.
It could always go either way. They shouldâve called a technical when they called a timeout with no timeouts left
Horry would have made that shot anyways tho. He was clutch everytime.
You canât assume that Detroit would have won G6 in SA if Detroit had won G5. Focus, schemes, matchups, player minutes may have been altered for both teams had the previous game had a different result. Yes, the path of a championship would have been tougher for SA but possible. Also, there has NEVER been an NBA finals where the home team won each game.
Thanks for all memories, Pistons. That's my youth
This is one of those âRemember where you were atâ type of games.
It was 2005. I was in 5th grade. My parents had been divorced for a few months already, so I was with my dad this night. I remember constantly waking him up ever time Horry would make a play. At the time I didnât really grasp just how crazy Horry was, but now that Iâve rewatched this throughout the years, it still makes me feel like I was that 11 year old kid yelling in his dads apartment.
In a way, Robert Horry is like a prototype of a modern NBA PF. He has the athleticism & mobility of a wing and has a sweet shooting stroke from 3.
Duncan was a disaster down the stretch of this game (missed six of seven free throws).
He made more than Nick Anderson in game 1 the 1995 NBA finals đŻ
He was never that great at the line, 67% in the '05 season, 70% for his career.
His ankles were busted but those late missed catches at the end hurts to watch
Yeah played terrible
Someone show skip bayless this video
From Detroit but gotta give credit. This spurs team is amazing. Especially robert horry. Champs baby!
the most fundamental basketball finals ever
Aka the most boring finals ever
Timmy shouldâve just banked his free throws
Wouldâve shot 90% loo
Clutch 3!! Respect to Horry!! Also that play Pop called out of timeout was brilliant. đŻ
Manu with the great awareness pass
The most underrated nba finals
the other games weren't that good, mostly blowouts. This game 5 was great though.

@@fedeofeast3525 game 6 and 7 was good
Lol this was the time that the NBA was dying. I mean Pistons vs Spurs in the finals? Lol. Good thing Kobe and the Celtics revived it
Warriors Boston zzzzzz
this is one of may favorite battle in NBA finals vintage game. đ„
One of the most evenly matched NBA Finals ever.
And one of the least interesting
Although if you look at the scores more than half of the games were blowouts. The last three games made up for it though.
I enjoyed this finals so much. Watched every game. No ties to any team. Just great basketball. Amazing defense and high basketball IQ.
Oh please. This was terrible basketball. All defense, no offense.
My spurs in their primeâŠ

@@kemalmighty2288 You don't put it just on one player. They lost as a team.
This is the year i started watching basketball, i was 9 at that time. I really love this era.
I've underrated horry up until now, easily a hall of famer for his clutch performances in the finals!
LOL âeasilyâ a hall of famer? GTFO, if he were a hall of famer then heâd be in the hall of fame. Dude averaged 7-5-2 for his career and has NO accolades other than his 6 rings. Shit even Patrick McCaw has 3 rings.
No heâs not even close to being even in discussion for the hall of fame.

Amazing. Robert Horry was an average NBA player, yet he was a Legend in the Finals
The first long stretch 4 with handles...he was hard to guard...
He was a big game player. Clutch most of the time. No wonder he got 7 rings in 3 different team
1 of the best defensive series in NBA history

The Spurs barely scored 80 points in game 7. This was the worst 7 game NBA Finals of all time
@@chrisuncleahmad defense in his highest peak. 2000's era was the hardest and the greatest era of all time for me
@@franagustin3094 Offense at its lowest. That was an era where nobody scored and every other game was a slog
@@chrisuncleahmad A hard era cause defense was at his highest point. Nowadays is awful
Robert Horry should be in the Hall of Fame damn near on this game alone. Swung a championship. Seven rings...he's the GOAT role player. Absolutely should be in.
Rasheed leaving Horry open too many times. The putback, The Dunk, and the Open three all caused cause Sheed helped off.
Maybe but sheed was their most talented and best player low key, but just played a role for them
@@davidchandler6885 He was which I agree with but I donât get what you mean by maybe. He made several defensive mistakes which cost them the game
@@davidchandler6885 he was a lazy mf. Overrated af.
i love the video quality, the graphics, everything
I still wake up screaming at night that we left Horry wide open on that game winning shot
Im glad i watched this awesome game at its prime. Basketball is not the same no more
As a Pistons fan this was painful. What a match up with these two teams though.
What a terrible matchup
This series proved that 2004 Title was a fluke
As a Pistons fan and Michigander, what ticked me off most was Prince rolling thru the lane wide open at 8:53 but RIP trying to be the hero just jacks up a wild jumper. Had to give props to Horry though, such a cold blooded shooter.
the most underrated thing about the game is Parker's defense on Hamilton on the last play. the dude is doing an armless hug on him
Omfg Robert Horry. That dunk too jesus my mans was a beast
Life long spurs fan here. Every spurs fan memory of this game was just âRobert Horryâ.
Thanks big shot bob
Big shot Rob buddy âïž
We need more of this eraâs highlights in HD đ
Love this content
If these teams played a 7-game series multiple times, each would trade 4-3's. That's how even the match up was.
Pistons really messed up in free agency in 04 letting mike okur and corliss go...should of kept one of the big men because my god elden was getting old and hunter was small for a sg without pg skills...and the lineup of corliss ben and okur was very good on d during the 04 playoffs
big shot bob⊠one of the most underrated players of all time and a true ring collector. hope to him in the hall of fame
I could listen to Hubie Brown call my man's shot all day long... He already knew..
I remember watching this game. Great memories of Robert Horry.
One of the greatest defensive NBA Finals
And one of the worst offensive NBA Finals. 7 games of Rugby disguised as basketball.
Wow didnât remember Duncan chocking that hard that game.
Lol let me find out Duncan was overrated...with them big ahs shorts and long tube socks
Duncan got a lot of choke jobs and under performances tbh
@@killermockers47 lmaooooo no he doesn't. Clown shoes comment. Hardest series Tim ever played going against both Wallaces and McDyess off the bench. Defensive and rebound monsters. Dude was gassed and fighting for everything in both ends. Gi watch basketball and know what youre talking about. đ€Ą
@@milosmitic2071 he's literally underrated bruh. You realize people think kobe was better than him? this is one bad performance he was already clutch
He wasn't choking he was just exhausted
A true thing of beauty in basketball.
I was only 15 during this NBA Finalsđit was also the time I started idolizing the playing style of Richard Hamilton. Since then, I wore jersey no. 32đ
This game was on June 23rd, it ended around 11pm. I was so excited to start the night because my 21st birthday was the next day, which meant I was planning to go out to the bar in Ann Arbor with friends at midnight. Would've been so cool to celebrate my 21st with everyone celebrating a Pistons championship. Instead, the bars were empty and people were bummed. We still had a good night though
This game was on June 19th...my 20th birthday....I was there.....horrible birthday present
wow! By just listening to your comment really makes me think it was a great day!
and nice picđđ
DAMN! Bob with a BRUTAL Dunk lol wow! How old was he here??
35
@Ser Bronn you didnât watch your team play in the championship bc you thought the other team was bad đ thatâs different man
I believe horry was 34 here
Que recuerdos, la Ă©poca de Ben Wallace que bestia mi jugador favorito de esa Ă©poca.
This game made 8th grade me cry, why leave Horry sheed đđđ
Man this one really stung as a Pistons fan. You don't leave Horry open under any circumstances. Ever.
He almost did it again in 03 too...horry man was too clutch
mann Ever !!!!
Big shot BOB!
Wow, I remember that moment, like yesterday
Horrry man they say is overrated but that guy hit so many huge shots wherever he went. I don't know a play that hit so many big shots. He was a very good player who probably could been all-star in his prime but just played his role
Say whatever you wanna say but Robert Horry is one of the clutches player of all time, he may not be be on an all-star level but he has contributed to all the rings he's got. In my opinion he deserves to be in the HOF.
The dunk by Robert horry đ„
Champion vs champion. Damn shame we didn't get at least one more Finals matchup with these two
I miss tis team almost as much as The Bad Boys!! lived in Missouri during this winning season and the NBA wasn't a priority..still isn't. This is the first time I've seen this footage Thanks for the share!!!
Man I miss the pistonâs
I miss the Spurs! Lol
Donât worry bro theyâll be back in a few years
Idk if the pistons will be the same defensive powerhouse tho
Tim Duncan really missed 7 free throws and the Spurs still won by one! Not to mention, he was also the reason the game went into OT in the first place. đ
Fr man and he usually made them under pressure. Crazy tbh đ
Yeah that shit don't get talked about enough lol
Duncan averaged 20 and 14 against the grittiest front-court of the era
Some important observations I made is that Robert Horry what's the most important player in the 4th quarter and overtime. Rasheed Wallace could have gotten a technical for calling a time out with no timeouts left, if you want to get picky. You can make it good argument that Rip Hamilton was fouled in the last seconds of overtime and should have gotten 2 free throws the ending of game is very similar to game 6 of the 2013 NBA finals.
Robert Horry earned his rings. #HOF. He made it when it mattered. Every playoff game mattered and he won it for the teams he played for.
This was a defensive, fundamental and physical series ... Robert Horry became the first player to win championships with 3 different teams ....
Nah it was just bad offense. It's never crappy offense but rather defensive.
@@chrisuncleahmad It was bad offense because these were the two best defenses in the regular season AND in the playoffs.
@@akbarshabazz-jenkins7847 and it turned the beautiful gane into an unwatchable rugby scrum
@@chrisuncleahmad You're probably right. I guess I'm just biased because I'm a Spurs fan and that series took about 10 years off of my life. I still liked this better than those early-to-mid 2000s Kings and Mavericks or Lakers and Suns series where nobody played any defense whatsoever.
You can see the difference of the playoffs of modern NBA than old school NBA specially for defense..
Also their offense is kinda meh.
@@ronmix1063 oh yeah, 3pt shooting contests are so fun to watch.....
@@greenderp and barely scoring 81 points in a game 7 is fun to watch?
@@chrisuncleahmad yeah, game 7 in 2016 where warriors became the first team to choke a 3-1 finals lead was 93-89 and was a great game to watch đ€Ł
Insane if you look at his missed game 5 3-pointer vs the spurs and lakers in 2003, itâs exactly the same but he made it this time!
Pistons were 8-2 all-time in NBA Finals games at the Palace - and both losses were by 1 point in overtime.
underrated series
You can see how Duncan struggled in his free throw shooting until 2007 and onward, his shot improved. Chip Engelland had a lot to do with that.
These kids don't understand that a 7-footer in 2005 missing free throws was not the end of the world.
Wooo the air went right out of the building when the overtime buzzer buzzed. đ„¶
I forgot how many amazing players were on these two teams.
yea i love basketball!! but i was a teen during these times.. loved basketball so damn much!! so many great teams, these 2 included
This is why Robert Horry has 7 titles
He's not a great player,or an all star or all NBA. He's just clutch, if it was a category for it he would be top 3 all time.
â@Manny-nm8dh and that proves that clutch win championships

wallace pulled a C Webb
VERY underrated series. Two amazingly defensive teams, very strong defending champs Detroit and a Spurs full of clutch players.
You won't see prime Tim Duncan pulled out of his confort zone the war Sheed and Ben did this series.
Damn, Big Shot Bob always coming up for these kinds of moments.
People need to remember that Timmy was playing on two bad ankles the whole series. First ankle got injured late in the season and never really got to 100% because he had to have a go at the playoffs. second ankle was injured in game 6 of the 2nd round against the Sonics in which he played through and hit the game winner. Yet, we never heard TD make an excuse even if at some points of the series he was "struggling" for his standards. His stat line though for the series playing on two bad ankles are 20.6 ppg, 14.1 rpg, 2.1 bpgand 2.4 apg...he struggled shooting only 41% but again, we can attribute that to the bad ankles. Makes sense now that at the end of the game he wasn't able to put much into the putback attempt which he missed.
Tim Duncan is simply a LEGEND.
Greetings from Spurs fan from Poland
bad ankles aren't an excuse for missing 3 clutch free throws
@@freaking7459 agree, Tim was never a solid FT shooter. He had some good years but was not consistent until maybe his last 4 years, though still not solid.
The MVP of that Finals should have been Bruce Bowen.
Bowen, not known for shooting, made some big three pointers in that series, but he played the best defense against Rip Hamilton in the Pistons run from 2002-2008.
In that span, I watched Rip wear out Reggie Miller twice, Ron Arrest, Kerry Kittles, D Wade, Kobe and Michael Redd and none had a answer for Rip moving without the ball.
Against SA, Bowen worked Rip so much that Rip was missing layups, short jumpers and FTs.
Stopping Rip was the key, since he was Detroit's most consistent player year after year in the playoffs.
@@123slasher.16 MVP is a stretch but Bowen was a weapon. The irony is in this game Billups was tearing up the Spurs defense that Bowen had to leave Rip for Billups. Parker, to his credit, checked Hamilton's physicality the best he could.
This was a underrated finals. Definitely the best one from 2000-2009

Yeah ur bugging, the 2008 Finals was a PERFECT matchup and series
Of course. It's the only one that went 7 games

I was amazed at how poorly Tim Duncan played down the stretch in that crucial game 5. Chauncey could have sealed it for Detroit but missed a couple of (contested) layups.
How can you let Horry wide open like that ? đ€ŠđŸââïž
man the NBA was so damn good back then!! seesh.
I would've loved to have saw that pistons lineup of the 2 Wallace's, prince, Billups, Hamilton against today's golden state warriors
Good match up
Duncan had it rough but that rebound and time-out was clutch 8:10
3 missed FTs, missed putback to win, TO in OT.. I forgot how ugly this series looked for TD when it got rough.
@@jmr3178 That's revisionist. Duncan averaged 20 and 14 against the grittiest front-court of the era and hit his free throws in Game 7, where he was involved in all the closeout plays to pull out the championship.
