Just so you know kids, GoaTD was playing two bad ankles he sprained badly during the season including a recent one in round 2 against the deceased Supersonics. And don't let his FG% mislead you, he got a lot of offensive rebounds off of his misses and he was almost always double teamed by arguably one of the best defensive frontline duos of all time
Just check out how much elevation Duncan had on all his moves in the video. Detroit could probably have won if they had force-fed Sheed on offense because Duncan couldn't contest his jump shot at all. But Sheed wasn't about that kind of responsibility.
@J B As a Hispanic Belgian American I was rooting for Ginobili but in the end the challenge that Duncan had to overcome was much greater and there's no denying that his offensive rebounds and overall presence in the paint made it possible for the Spurs to win the championship that year.
This was a punishing series, please do a Manu version, Timmy put a Herculean effort and was the MVP, but Manu was the difference I'm surprised that you could piece together this many highlights
Back in the day when every point mattered and a 7 to a 10 point lead was huge... When defense was Paramount. I prefer that to the crazy offense of today where you can't even touch the guy.
nba decided that scoring is more important for tv ratings purposes and viewership. you cant really blame them for it even though its kind of sad. NBA is competing against nfl, mlb and whatever you guys call the hockey league, so i guess they are making all their decision into getting more marketshare.
@@losswutang5456 First 4 games were blowouts, after that Tim shot 45%. Detroit had the best defense in the league and not only that, with McDyess and the Wallaces the best rim protectors by far. Their weakness was on the 2 spot, something that Ginobili with all his experience but less talent exploited, an assignment that Kobe failed at in the previous finals because of the brewing feud with Shaq. Duncan also grabbed plenty offensive rebounds and just by himself nearly matched the total number of rebounds by both Wallaces.
What a savage series. Some people say Ginobili should have been the MVP, but Duncan matched his stats going against on the greatest defenses ever, and one of the greatest defensive front duos. Tim Duncan. Pure alpha.
Honestly can say GREATEST PLAYER I’ve ever seen at his POSITION; does EVERYTHING a coach / teammate needs depending on the situation !! Has many “Go To” moves that can vary based on tempo & game feel ….and don’t forget his BALL HANDLINGN& DEFENSIVE nightmares as a matchup against anybody 😏
People who call his style of play boring need to stop smoking crack. It’s just beautiful basketball. You give it to Timmy in the post and that’s a for sure bucket. Prime Duncan was automatically 1st team all nba and I’m sorry did I forget to mention he was also a defensive monster. Basically a automatic 1st team all defense in his prime. They need to start respecting Tim !
shit i want to watch this for several years the best defensive teams of the 21 century and timmy going for his 3 ring injury against Ben Wallace and Raheed thxs for this
Not only did T.D. destroy the Pistons in the paint, he did it against arguably one of the greatest defensive centers of all-time (Big Ben was at the very least the greatest defensive center of the decade by miles). Sheed wasn't a bad defender himself, but Duncan schooled him like he was a kid.
What's there to say? After a few minutes it gets mesmerizing as Duncan is just too big and too skilled for Detroit. The year before Shaq also got his points but he dominate them like Duncan. You almost feel bad for the Pistons, they couldn't do anything with him
this piston team is one of the best ever they beat shaq and kobe on 2004 and 1 quarter away from a repeat i was glad my spurs beat them i thought they would lose
Tim was lighting teams up back then too, and would do in any era I believe. He never had big name free agents in San Antonio, Jason Kidd among others refused to play for the Spurs, their biggest acquisition was Richard Jefferson and he never embraced the team culture. Imagine Tim getting paired with Oscar Robertson during the 70s, or Drexler during the 80s, prime Robinson during the 90s, ...
@@losswutang5456look how many offensive rebounds Duncan got off of his owned missed shots. They didn't do their job good enough. Keeping him from missing his first shot means nothing when he's right there for his own put back. That's call hustle and determination against a juggernaut defense on 2 sprained ankles and planter faschitis. Duncan was a beast which is why they kept swarming him and not double teaming ginobili
Wtf are you talking about? TD had some of his biggest games against the Lakers with prime Shaq. Shaq goes to Phoenix and Duncan continued, including a 40 plus point explosion against the Suns in 08. Oh, that 03 Dikembe matchup, Duncan had one of the greatest Finals performances in history.
@Arturo Bandini his misread the comment as if Timmy couldn't take Shaq but that dude actually meant Wallace had a harder time on Shaq than Timmy lol. But those who said dikembe bothers Timmy are way off. Timmy was unstoppable in the 03 finals. Had one of the best finals series in nba history
He was definitely strong--mixed it up with Shaq in many series & could slide to the 5 spot with ease. I get what you're saying though; not a leaper or insanely athletic, just knew how to play.
duncan has everything,he just doesn't show it on the court like shaq, showboat kevin garnett & draymond green ..... the only time he did that ref stupid crawford gave him a technical foul .....🤣😂🤣😂🤣 ...
Yes he was. He actually played better the next 2 seasons. If it weren't for that bonehead found ginobili did on dirk in game 7 in 06 spurs win back to back and even a 3peat since they won in 07. Duncan was still dominant and the best player. Except Parker in the finals where he went off but regular season and the playoffs he was by far the best spur
These Piston and Spurs teams would pound these little guys in today's basketball. Every point was earned, you had the 2 top defensive teams. 2 great coaches Larry and Pop, game 7, and Ginobili single-handedly made this series exciting, no fear going in the lane. Shit, no one showed any fear.

@@rasaecnai you're probably right, that's the reason why this series didn't had high ratings
Pistons had one of the best defensive frontcourts of all time and Duncan still balled out
josh sigala Duncan shot %42 against them. I believe they did their job.

Man, prime Tim Duncan would dominate in today's NBA, nobody's stopping him.
Even D green?
@@YesWeAre draymon green? Hahaha
@@jeffersonsevilla6498 lol draymond would be bbq chicken dinner for duncan
Draymond Green too small for Duncan.

If Tim had an ego, he would be in the GOAT conversation.
But he let his ego take a back seat to team ball and it helped them to 5 rings.
Lmao Tim and manu are so fast! It's funny watching move so fast they're like pressing turbo in 2k compared to their ending years
Best power forward to ever do it
shit i want to watch this for several years the best defensive teams of the 21 century and timmy going for his 3 ring injury against Ben Wallace and Raheed thxs for this
damn how can detroits 2 icons get bullied by just one dude lol

His field goal success rate was in the early 40s
One of the best final series ever. Every point was tough to score
Respect to my Spurs and Pistons. You can hear the bone sounds in this series. Best finals ever.
What's there to say? After a few minutes it gets mesmerizing as Duncan is just too big and too skilled for Detroit. The year before Shaq also got his points but he dominate them like Duncan. You almost feel bad for the Pistons, they couldn't do anything with him
Greatest 4 of all time
this piston team is one of the best ever they beat shaq and kobe on 2004 and 1 quarter away from a repeat i was glad my spurs beat them i thought they would lose
That #20' for the Spurs with the long hair looks familiar.
Man prime timmy would light up teams in this era. Big man these days are pure athleticism with no skills.
Big men these days are actually dripping with skills but not enough time put in developing them further nor no inclination to post up down low.
@@Hibbs4Prez yeah, more on perimeter skills
No they have skill. Might even be more skilled.

There is no doubt that My Boy Tim is the fucking strongest PF in history
best nba finals ever
Not even close.
Viewership would say otherwise
This finals was the real deal deal.
exactly right ...... the defending champs going against the champs the year before ........
@@milosbrkanovic948 casual fans and yuppies don't matter to purists of any sport
Also, Tim Duncan beasted on the Wallace brothers. I mean GOD DAMN. He would not be denied a 3rd ring.
Duncan actually shot %42 from the field. They did their job. Spurs just were the better team
@@losswutang5456look how many offensive rebounds Duncan got off of his owned missed shots. They didn't do their job good enough.

underrated passer
the best pf ever
where did you get the video from? I want to get every game from this series
from the internet.
All Duncan FGs - first one is a Nazr Mohammed FG.
it includes all field goals, assists are also highlights
All those no-calls.
They let them play!
It's funny that Ben Wallace couldnt stop Timmy D, but could take Shaq. Course Dikembe botherd Tim a bit in 03.
They held Timmy to 42% shooting and be fared much better against mutumbo
Wtf are you talking about? TD had some of his biggest games against the Lakers with prime Shaq. Shaq goes to Phoenix and Duncan continued, including a 40 plus point explosion against the Suns in 08. Oh, that 03 Dikembe matchup, Duncan had one of the greatest Finals performances in history.
Fake news. Timmy almost had a quadruple double in game 6. How can you even say mutumbo bothered him. 😂😂

Ginobi with hairs!
He's not fast, he's not strong, w/o athleticism but he can scores 30 pts...thats the big fundamental
He was fast, strong and athletic in his prime. Don’t get it mixed up now. Him being the big fundamental let’s him play for as long as he did.
He was definitely strong--mixed it up with Shaq in many series & could slide to the 5 spot with ease. I get what you're saying though; not a leaper or insanely athletic, just knew how to play.
He was very fast in his prime man, people always think he was slow because the majority watched him in his last years and because his injury
man he's strong af..one of the few players that can hold his position against prime Shaq in the post
duncan has everything,he just doesn't show it on the court like shaq, showboat kevin garnett & draymond green ..... the only time he did that ref stupid crawford gave him a technical foul .....🤣😂🤣😂🤣 ...
Duncan after this series was never as dominent as before
Yes he was. He actually played better the next 2 seasons. If it weren't for that bonehead found ginobili did on dirk in game 7 in 06 spurs win back to back and even a 3peat since they won in 07. Duncan was still dominant and the best player. Except Parker in the finals where he went off but regular season and the playoffs he was by far the best spur
Prime on prime, Sir Charles would annihilate Tim Duncan.
No
No
Most boring NBA finals series of all time!
These Piston and Spurs teams would pound these little guys in today's basketball. Every point was earned, you had the 2 top defensive teams. 2 great coaches Larry and Pop, game 7, and Ginobili single-handedly made this series exciting, no fear going in the lane. Shit, no one showed any fear.
Not if you were a Pistons or Spurs fan.
Awesome series.
