The sound the rim made back then 🤩
Pretty loud😂

Good to see Garnett guarding Duncan and Tim guarding Kevin. I miss those head-to-head key matchups.
Yeah I know right they don’t do it anymore
in 2010s/2020s NBA, They would just defer to their shooters and look for open dunks
Miss this era of the NBA!! No one’s complaining about being fouled! Refs aren’t blowing the whistle, every time there’s contact! At this point they’re playing “flag basketball” in the NBA.
Top two PFs the game has ever seen. If Timmy and KG aren't on your PF Mount Rushmore, you don't know NBA basketball.
These two Charles Barkley and Karl Malone, with Moses Malone and Giannis right behind them.
@@rooseveltdarbey9493moses played center
@@rooseveltdarbey9493 Giannis is already the 2nd best PF all time. Better resume at this point in his career than all of them cept Timmy.
I got Mchale too
@@boggsmalinao Nobody in these comments ever watched McHale play and probably don't even know who he is. Best offensive post player of all time. I'll put him at the 5 spot
6:38 KG's dunk was so powerful, it broke the video!! And he lost his finger brace!
🔥🐺
Robinsons final season got a ring went out like a boss
I miss this type of basketball. Great defense, passing, rebounding, offensively fundamental.
So many games in the playoffs now are being won by blowouts. Games being decided in the last two minutes are becoming more rare every year. It makes for a weakened product. I was blessed to see Jordan in his prime, among so many other greats. The competitiveness of the 80’s-2010’s was amazing.
Didn't know KG was such a good passer!
KG liked passing more than shooting IMO.
So unselfish
Man these were the days!!!! Great Match ups every night in the paint KG, Duncan , Webber, Dirk, , Even Karl Malone even though he was getting close to the end.
Don’t forget Sheed Elton brand Pau jermaine O’Neal amare there’s so many more guys around this time
Best era in the NBA. Way more talent than Jordan's and LeBron's NBA.
@@edwinafamefuna4383no way. Jordan's era had the celtics lakers rivalery and greatest era for big men. Lebron's era (modern era) had all time great squads like the 2017 warriors, 2013 heat, 2014 spurs and even the 2019 raptors.
@woo_shynen8805 You are just naming great teams. What about players?
Jermaine O'neal and KMart too
That's why NBA back then was fun to watch. Both players were competitive and focused on helping their team to win, but if they were playing in today's NBA they would've both been fouled out by the end of the 3rd quarter!
Facts. I was born in 04 but kg has always been my favorite and the 2nd 3peat bulls -2009 era of basketball was an era I wish I was around to see.
Thank you NBA for introducing the hand-checking rule in 2004. That ruins a lot of players like introducing more injuries.
they also would have just shot too many 3's
@@cgfit5182But James would thanks that very much
After this game the Spurs went 12-2 to close the season, catching the Mavs for best record, and in the playoffs went 16-8 to clinch their second championship.
Pretty wild , I graduated high school in ‘03 and now I’m gonna be 40 this year.
Kg midrange was automatic and he was great rebounder and passer
and defender
Two of the best Power Forwards to to ever lace them up.
The two best honestly. They're just so far ahead of their peers defensively.
@@colton6867 ...most forget that. Great observation.
It's crazy how they were both in their primes, along with other elite power forwards, Webber, Dirk, Gasol, JO etc
SHEED
@@LamelKendrickyup. Dude was a Killer. Was one of the few fowards from that era who could stretch the floor alongside dirk and Kg
@@LamelKendrick Sheed was arguably the most talented out of that entire list of names. Dude could have and should have been a HOF.
Love when you shoot and you are in your rhythm, and it’s one of them ones where feels smooth and the ball hits the back of the rim and just goes Doong!! And goes straight down, like not a swish but bounces straight down after hitting bottom of the rim!
Damn this game is more intense then the nba finals today lml
Miss this era of basketball when superstars guarding each other. Man KG's mid range is insane in this time.
Amazing quality - thanks for posting!
👍
I wonder how people would rate KG’s legacy if he’d come into the NBA playing for an elite coach, alongside other all-star teammates and a top organisation
Popovich wasnt considered an elite coach when Duncan entered the league
i rate him over td even now lol,because td just had better team and coach+kg was better rebounder and defender
@@ziginaigra KG was a more versatile defender, could guard 1-5 in his early years. Duncan was a better 4-5 defender and a better anchor. He was also elite for longer (should have won DPOY in 2013 as well as 3 straight in 2000-2003). Rebounding is a wash.
oh shut up! no reason to discredit one player to swing from the nuts from your favorite. Duncan was the Spurs their dynasty began when he got their so your point is nonsense. just a hater spewing shit
TD made Pop, just like Tom made Bill
Two of the absolute best going at it.
This is great basketball, great post.
👍
Duncan's game was completely polished. But KG was able to absorb the punches and grind out the W in this one.
How? KG better shooter, more range, better handles, better face-up off the dribble game and better passer... Duncan was just stronger and wider which allowed him to play with his back to the basket and absord contact better around the paint, but i don't know how that made his game more 'polished'...
@zennihilator3724 Tim had more post moves and better foot work. He always knew how to get to his spots, and he had a move and countermove for every situation.
@@ArcadianGenesis Perhaps, but to me the key factor was that Duncan simply had more mass, which is an essential component in being able to establish beneficial position down low and finish through bumps and contact... Garnett was simply too skinny to pound down low which was the meta game in the late 90s and early 2000s when KG was at his peak... He was probably 25 pounds lighter than Duncan and generally built like a SF...
Hence why a lot of KG's arsenal of post moves featured various set-ups that ended in a tournaround jump shot... His ability to use footwork and spin over either shoulder and shoot effecitvely over the defense was better than Duncan... But he didn't get nearly as many easy opportunites to score down low like Duncan could with his mass, which is why ultimately Duncan was able to be more efficient. It was not necessairly because he was more 'skilled', it's just he was better built for the inside game and developed the post moves and hooks shots to complement it, which Garnett couldn't because he couldn't get in deep enough positions to use hook shots etc.
I think if Garnett was in his prime in like the mid 2010's, when the game moved away from a slow-paced post-centric offense with 2 Big man on the court, to a game with more space, more pace we'd seen an even better version of him... Which is scary to think, because this dude won the MVP in 2004 playing a brand of basketball on offense that left a lot on the table for a guy with his skillset.
@@zennihilator3724i totally understand this whole thing. Great way to put it man.
@@zennihilator3724agree, kg is better in all aspects, duncan is pretty basic robotic but had the better system and coach
I never thought there was much of a Gap between Timmy and KG. This game at least early on looked like a clear difference of who was able to impose they will on the other one.
Bro kg had the better game, same fg, more rebs, more asts, more blks.
there is no gap,they have almost the same stats
who u got
二十年前的精彩比赛，致敬我们逝去的青春！
Superb quality.
👍
Two great players. KG always fun to watch. Just a no nonsense player. Went out and did his job. Finally won a chip in Boston but, his Minnesota years were great!!!
Timmy was just on another level.
How was this already 20 years ago, back when I was watching this at 16 thinking of 1983 felt like ancient history.
Call me an old head but I prefer this style of ball from back then. Not so reliant on the 3 ball, just good ole fundamental ball. The big man matchups were a joy to watch, and made it more entertaining to watch them earn their points more than all the 3’s that are jacked up in today’s game. The game has changed, it is what it is. Just prefer this era more 🔥
0:32 this is the moment where i picture tim duncan talks trash to KG like he told in an interview before "oooh almost"
WHEN HWE HAD ADMIRAL TO SPAACE HIM FLOOR EASY TO SCORE. WHY HE DIDNT WIN 2008 AS AN CHAMPION FROM YEAR 07 ?

This was good ol' basketball, not this LeFlopping, and LeCrying we see today.
Man, do I miss these days. Thank you for the video. It brought back memories.
👍
U do realize lebron played in the same era as them and averaged 30 💀
I'm fine with either. Only thing I don't like about today's game is less emphasis on the mid-range jumper where I think it's a big part of basketball. Too many 3's being hoisted up.
@@JohnDoe-vj9dv All these lame Lethis and Lethat comments. LeBron is phenomenal and it's a gift to those that have seen him played all these years to have watched his brilliance on the court. No player is perfect and LeBron isn't. But he's a decent guy, team player and a legend of the game no matter what the lame haters write on social media.
LeBalco
NBA Western Conference was stacked with all star power forwards during this time
4:00 always gives credit to his team, that's why The Big Ticket is a true Hall of Famer and a true champion.
oh mama, what a game. thanx Bro!!!

SOME BUST BENCH RATING PLAYERS VS GOAT ADMIRAL, GREAT HOF MANU, ALLSTAR PARKER, AND GUY WHO CANT WIN GOLD VS LUIS SCOLA AND DANIEL SANTIAGO.@@NEGROMONKEY-vc6qm
Whooaaa! Damn KG tried to send that into the Stratosphere with that Swat! Lol, I miss them days NBA was so good back then and KG my all time fave Big Dude, but Tim and him was always a awsome rivalry they both brought out the best in eachother when they gaurded eachother, how he was able to get that bucket n get it up and over KG at full stretch and in the Air too, Damn!
If KG have gone LA over Boston, he could have won at least 3 or 4 Rings. Him and Kobe would destroyed the League with Defense and Offense. From 2008 to 2014 would be their reign. KG would have been a top 3 Power Forward of all time.
Duncan is pure fundamental while garnett is more on low post and posterize classic game! Both are beast in their prime 👍
Duncan was more athletic then people think not like kg but still good enough
This was before his major knee injury
@@edwells4769Actually no, Tim suffered a torn meniscus in 2000. That's why he missed the playoffs in 2000, and he considered parting ways with San Antonio when his contract expired.
Then he made one of the best recoveries from that injury ever, re-signed with the Spurs, and the rest is history.
wonder if you have the full games back then，not just this one game but others too
Minnesota couldn't get any big free agents to come to help Kevin Garnett, until Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell.
McHale was a mediocre gm
i use to think timmy was so overrated but looking back he def was not
he was never overrated.
@@alchitran he is they say he is best pf all time lol he played more games as center than as pf lol
@@ziginaigrabeing overrated comes with hype. TD was never hyped, media in general never talked about him EXCEPT when it's time to talk about the greatest or best of all time or hall of fame discussions.
And yes he PLAYED as a center MOST of the time SINCE david robinson retired, but his natural position was already determined and he was already in the discussion of greatest PF of all time before his time playing as a center MOST of the time.
If this game would've been played today both of them would've had 40 points and 6 fouls lol
Real battles !!
MR .FUNDAMENTS Tim Duncan 🎩🎩
some youtubers don’t post the date… can you tell us what date this is?
man i miss late 90s early 00s nba, Power fowards and centers were tough, defense was tough, post moves and so much fun to watch tactical games, now its all about shouting 3... nothing more. boring af.
IIRC, the Timberwolves and the Spurs tied their regular season faceoff (2-2).
This fourth and final meeting ends San Antonio's mini-winning streak and one of few taints of that strong run into catching Dallas with the league's best record.
The Wolves had a brief lead over the Lakers in the first round (2-1). That would be "alarming" if not David Stern announced few days before the start of postseason first round has also become a best-of-seven affair. That series concluded as KG's seventh consecutive first round exit.
San Antonio dealt with Phoenix, a Spur headcase (Suns winning regular season match 3-1), with a hard-earned 4-2 series win (first round), then dethroned the Lakers all the way to franchise's 2nd "Larry".
Giannis can have all the stats but he is not a better player than prime KG and/or Tim Duncan
He’s better then kg stop being biased towards the past
@@WavystarjI think Giannis has some of KG traits i don’t think he better than KG right now though.
@@Wavystarj prime KG is better than giannis. The reason why giannis has a good stats is because NBA today are too soft. imagine back then you can do zone defense effectively. If they zone giannis he will have a hard time to score to the basket. today you cant do zone defense perfectly because of defensive 3 sec. violation.
already better than kg for sure, easily
Epic matchup. Duncan is the greatest PF !
They need to bring back that rim sound or whatever it was to hear the rim lol
do you have this full game
So many great team mate by Duncan here. manu, Robinson, parker, bowen.. I think any star player would have a hard time to beat spurs here.
KG was the first #1 option big, I literally saw play and guard all 5 positions and literally did everything for his team. There's a reason why he was known as the "Big Ticket" in his Minnesota days.
You hear Garnett “ I’m not bigger than the team” that’s what we missing in sports now
Wanna see prime TD & KG in 20's era!!
I remember this game. TD had an answer and then some for everything KG threw at him…even though the wolves won.
REALLY DERANGED TELL ME WHOS CENTER IN SPURS ??
ITS OK DERANGED , U CANT SHOW ME ANY HOF IN WOLVES U DERANGED
Clash of the Titans!!
Jokic is like the evolution of the moves made in this game. How about that pass @3:25?
battle!
bro i felt like i was watching a live game haha
KG should of gone to the Celtics earlier. Even he said he wished that.
KG and Timmy are real superstars: can dunk, shoot, block, assit, rebound. Look at overrated Zion and bust Simmons who can't shoot 2 or 3 but the medias praise they too much
KG got 24-18-8-5 blk against Tim and took the win at spurs' home
Way more fun than watching everyone shoot threes all game long
Dang. Sean Elliott has been calling games for 20 plus years now.
Wish KG would've been able to square off against Duncan with an actual team... looking at this game, it's laughable looking at who's with Duncan (Tony Parker, ginobli, David Robinson, Steve Jackson, bowen , etc) and who's with KG (szerbiak, Anthony peeler, Joe Smith lol)... by the time he went to Boston he wasn't the same player
Yes, wild he’s leading nobodies against a roster of Hall of Famers & Pop that’s about to win a chip. Love em both.
10:57 Duncan needs to be triple-teamed during clutch time! And double-teamed almost everytime when he low-post.
Ginobili is on the way rising to the best player in the world after this season.
1 vs 5 championships.
What do you think?
only timmy is the PF that i’ll put over my favorite player dirk, as a dallas fan that hated him all those years
Garnett Broke the video with that Dunk @ 6:42 …!!! lOl
now imagine if that damn twolves surrounded KG with all 2 all star players
Which is the reason why the big ticket left

Social isolation is a state of complete or near-complete lack of contact between an individual and society. It differs from loneliness, which reflects temporary and involuntary lack of contact with other humans in the world.[1] Social isolation can be an issue for individuals of any age, though symptoms may differ by age group.[2]
Social isolation has similar characteristics in both temporary instances and for those with a historical lifelong isolation cycle. All types of social isolation can include staying home for lengthy periods of time, having no communication with family, acquaintances or friends, and/or willfully avoiding any contact with other humans when those opportunities do arise.

Can they make the rime in this era made sounds like that again?😂
Duncan is a great player, but for me he was boring to watch, but K.G. had style, his dunks were legendary, and his play was so dynamic. He was fun to watch,KG is one of my few favourites.
David Robinson was still playing??! Wow.
They used to say be “in” a team
Kg is one of the greatest to ever do it but got damn Duncan was good. Holy shit he was so good.
how lucky giannis today. just run and dunk no skills no shooting.
Men kg outplayed right there.. Both offense and defensive.
Why in the world would you put Joe Smith on Tim Duncan, what kinda sense does that make....DUNCAN VS. GARNET IS. VERY GOOD
Peeler was balling
Once a Laker in the Van Exel 90's
The score on both jerseys says a DRAW.
Those blue Timberwolves jerseys 💣💣💣💣
1:53 was a nice play
KG can guard 1-5 and is one of the best and most gifted defenders in NBA history.
KG And Habachi woulda been lit
sharpshooter Wally!!!😘😘😘
My hot take is we'd be talking about KG as the best PF ever if him and Duncan swapped teams. There wasn't anything Duncan could do that KG couldn't. Duncan was more technical as KG was athletic was the only difference in playstyles. Both great defenders and both had a nice outside game and post up. Then to their franchises. KG was paired with mediocre coaches and locker room divas and cancers in Marbury and Sprewell and Duncan got a mentor in Robinson and got a no bullshit coach in Pop with a core that grew into all stars.
Got u
Never saw the time when KG played in Min but he seems like a very good teammate.
best
Duncan was so sick 😂😂😂
There’s a reason KG was rated 99 in nba2k1. Throw it down, big fella!
lol y is wally tryna get a post game interview
We all miss nba without 70% of the time shooting dumb 3s
No.1 PF Duncan
