Saw this game live on ESPN, The Suns had started out something like 30-4 to begin the season and then dropped 5 straight coming into this game when Nash wasn't playing, this was his first game back and the Suns had a huge lead by the end of the third period, up like 17. Ginobili put the Spurs on his back, tied it up and then won it in overtime. This dunk was incredible and yet no one ever talks about it, because he isn't a NBA/Nike approved "star", easily the best in traffic dunk this decade.
@woutakasinistra Saw both games live, the dunk against L.A. was just pure speed, he blew by the two Lakers and then split two others ( Although they both collided with him. ) , but on this one he just attacked the basket with power as well and was also fouled by Marion pretty clearly although the refs didn't call it. This was more impressive because you really got a sense of how high he can jump when he really wants to show off, like he did with the blocks on Wade and Durant.
I also remember watching this game either in later January or early February back in '05. this has always been one of the best games i've ever seen. the 2005 spurs' squad was probably their best to date. they beat the defending champs in seven games that year!
@aligborat was this dunk @ Phoenix bettern than his one @ LA? Anyway this dunk did seize the moment, he scored 48 in the game, with Barry tieing the game with 2 3's within 40 seconds left to go in the game, it was crazy
I remember watching this game, Ginobili just torched three All-Stars.

@spursbucswhitesoxfan
Marion is a 4-time all-star, in 2003, 2005, 2005 and 2007
