He actually was about to be fired. Management was going to fire him and replace him with Doc Rivers who was the color commentator for the Spurs broadcast. When the team got wind of it they rallied together to end the season in 1st place
meh the spurs won in 4..the blazers were young..not ready...the shot would of just delayed the inevitable even if he missed...it is what it is...david duncan elliot avery were a good 4 some that playoffs and mario ellie showed up in the finals...jarren hit some big threes...malik rose was a good defender..you were not beating that team that year...
Being from San Antonio, and a life long Spurs fan, I can not even begin to tell y’all how many times as a kid we were all trying to hit the corner 3 on our toes with the high arc...
That was an incredible part of the play how Sean knew he was too close the line to put his heels down and was able to keep them up and put the shot down!
LOL in the first quarter of Game 1 of the Finals they actually had a contest to hit a shot from that same spot on the baseline, and of course they chose someone who could shoot so he won like $1000 for it. Insane how close Sheed came to blocking that shot. I remember at the start of the game Sean hit two threes and all I could think is with Elliott hot the Spurs are going to blow Portland out. But after those two threes it was all downhill until that run in the third.
Dude, I lived it. We were walking out the court almost to the outside of the Alamodome to beat traffic, when the crowd exploded. We ran back in, and saw on the Jumbo Tron, Elliott hit the 3. I still remember it as a kid. After that I was always trying to hit a 3 like that lol, on the tippy toes.
This moment changed the game. The butterfly effect of the Spurs becoming a dynasty literally changed the landscape of the league. I’m not a Spurs fan but you have to acknowledge the franchise and how they’ve impacted the past 20+ years
Spurs got back at all their old nemesis in the 2000s. They also lost plenty of heart breakers too. Dallas 2006 comes to mind also Memphis 2011 and Lakers more than once lol
@@arsonhakobyan 2008 doesn’t really count as heartbreaking because the lakers were the #1 team but for Spurs fans wanting them to go back to back we were disappointed.
@@xbotnpc420 Yeah. They also never really had that good of a chance in that series, losing 4-1, though you can say Game 4 was winnable, but they didn't seem like they could win in LA that yr. regardless. Also, the Celtics were better than the Spurs that yr. in terms of both defense & match-ups head-to-head. The Spurs were a David West healthy back away from losing in 7 games to the Hornets in 08. They needed the cheap-shot-Bob to win it in 07, which to me was the weakest Spurs title of their 5, in a somewhat weak yr., w/ Kobe's Lakers being in their non-contention period after Shaq but before Gasol, after the 67win Mavs were bounced in the 1st round, though the 61win Suns team did have weapons on offense for sure, and that was the only good team the Spurs faced in the playoffs that yr., that probably should've beat em. I sincerely did not think the Duncan/Pop Spurs were serious threats again to take the title till 11, when they got shockingly bounced in the 1st round by the Grizzlies. The Spurs looked strong to me in 06, won a franchise-record 63 games, thought they'd repeat, but got so many bad breaks in the Mavs series. And then they were on a steady decline to me till 11. After 06, it seemed like they were just hanging on. They won the title in 07, but they weren't as good in 07 as they were in 06. And then a few athletes made them better again in 11 like Gary Neal & Richard Jefferson, and had they not traded away the latter for the non-athletic tough guy Stephen Jackson in 12, I think they would've hung on to beat the Thunder in 12, and would've beaten the top-heavy but thin Heat.
I feel that in true Spurs fashion, they'd make a statue of Duncan Parker and Ginobili together. To commemorate the absurd success the 3 have together with all of them holding the top 3 winning percentages of all time and what not
@@mjimenez4667 im sure someone with a quick release like curry can pull off a 0.4 shot though. it's just half a second but a bit quicker. and even if u try to accurately time fisher's shot, it would still count
@@Iao74185 Same here. Can't believe how loud it got when Stoudamire was shooting those two free throws right before Sean's shot when everyone was paddling on those hollow blue plastic seats. God those were loud when you did that.
That's the part I feel like gets missed when talking about the Memorial Day Miracle. Yes, the Spurs were the better team, especially looking at it in hindsight of the sweep and the eventual dynasty that blossomed, but at the time, it was far from a given. I mean...SA was *known* for figuring out ways to lose in the postseason, be it the Strickland debacle in '91, the GSW upset, the HOU upset, etc. If SA loses game 2 and goes to the Rose Garden tied 1-1, who knows how that Blazers' momentum could have coalesced (remember, they'd just eliminated Utah, who was the odds-on favorite coming into the season to finally get over the hump and win a title with MJ retiring from Chicago). The MDM was the first time the city of San Antonio collectively actually believed the team would get it done and win it all. You win a game like that, it's just magical. That feeling is infectious.
I'll always remember reading Elliot's lips telling Mario Elie "I told you!" In the huddle prior to this play, he told Elie, "Get it to me. I got one more left in me."
Loved Sean Elliot. Was so happy to see him and the Spurs succeed. Also, underappreciated statement in this video, the Spurs "swept the Kobie and Shaq Lakers".
They literally shut down The Forum. The last series the Lakers ever played at the Forum was a 4-0 sweep by the Spurs. I still get a kick out of that. :)
I'll never forget this. Earlier that day I graduated from middle school and made it on time just to watch the game. Me and family couldn't stop screaming and expressing how much joy we all felt. It was special moment for spurs fans and the city of San Antonio. I'm so glad I got to witness a part of sports history.
@@kalstonii from the state of MS I was huge fan of Wallace and POR back then, and I’ve been saying that for the past 21 yrs. With the LAL situation and this Spurs situation, POR hasn’t been the same since.
I am truly a diehard Spurs fan as far back as I can remember. Growing up in San Marcos, Texas your a Texas Longhorn, Dallas Cowboy and a San Antonio Spur. I will never forget that day my first son was born 5 days earlier and already on top of the world. Then that day took me to a whole new level. I have watched many different people's versions of that day but you have the best one hands down. I love the way you told both sides of the story it was remarkable. 10 out of 10. Thank you
I'm from San Antonio and I'll never forget that day. I was working at Rivercenter mall. And since the Spurs had swept the playoffs up until that moment, we all were allowed to bring TV's to our stores. The moment Sean hit that shot. The entire mall erupted, and I'll never forget that moment. Then all the fans came from the Alamodome to the Mall and continued the celebration.
I still get freaking goose bumps when I see this shot at the time I was 18 yrs old now I'm 40 still get the same feeling when I was 18. Was a hell of a freaking shot. That shot did open up the last 20 yrs of the SAN ANTONIO SPURS. GO SPURS GO.
Props Clara! Really enjoyed this one. I'd love to see more rewinders from 80s-90s basketball when I was too young to appreciate all the subtleties in those classic games
Sean Elliot had been through a lot of adversity. That 3-pointer was the greatest moment of his career and I think it resonated with people so much at the time because of what he'd gone through.
@@logicaldude3611 No one knew he was in kidney failure at the time though. No one other than Pop and the team doctors. I remember being floored a couple of weeks after the title when on vacation I read in a Canadian newspaper that Sean needed a transplant ASAP and that he had played through kidney failure. I can't imagine what that must have felt like, he probably had trouble even keeping food down, and here he is as a starter the team depends on playing deep into the playoffs in an extremely physical era.
Been waiting for someone to make a video about this for a long time now. One of the most overlooked moments in Spurs history. I was at this game when I was just a kid just 8yrs old back in the Alamodome. Sean was clutch. Good times.
Unlike espn this person actually took the time to look up facts on both teams and made a really good video of a big game that could have gone either way. Good job.
My dad won suite tickets at the Alamo Dome for this game. We were on this side of the basket, on Elliot's side of the court. I was 12 years old, and will never forget witnessing this moment in person. Thanks for reminding me of all the backstory that came with it!
This was just poetic. The fact that it wasn't one of the top guys or one of the clutchest, but Sean Elliot, who had been through a lot up to that point. The shot also reflected this: He was falling out of bounds, like his career was in Detroit and after his health issues. But he found enough balance while standing on his toes, and still made the shot.
What a great rewind! I remember watching that live. What a moment in sports!!! 90's NBA was incredible, especially the playoffs. Tons of HOFers competing. This channel rocks. Its like a time machine visiting my youth. Thanks for the great work!!!
If I close my eyes, I can literally see this shot in my mind. Having been a Spurs fan since 1994 was tough. Especially considering that I was a Laker hater growing up in OC.
I'm bingeing this channel right now. The episodes are all so well written and the graphics are super well put together. Clara's video's are my favorite. She has great comedic timing.
This is new and I've never heard of this moment but the Spurs are getting some more respect especially from this channel and Dom2K. Excited for this one Secret Base 👍 Edit: This is easily one of the best Rewinder episodes of all time. It's amazing how much of NBA history changes after this one moment.
With all these deep dives into the “Jail Blazers” era it is depressing to think the Blazers never got a title during this time. They had so many amazing NBA players and never made the finals (and I say this as a Lakers fan)!
Still chokes me up 23 years later as a lifelong spurs fan to see that shot somehow go in, all those great 90s teams never making it happen was so tough then 1 miracle trey righted the ship into a dynasty, I'll never forget that shot
that spurs team in the 99 03 05 and 07 finals held teams under 78 multiple times in all 4 series....they were slow and defensive...they held teams under 75 in the 99 05 and 07 finals
@@razkable Yep, the shot clock on offense was changed because of them. Because they would drag the clock out after offense rebounds. 3 offense rebounds in a row. YOu can lose a minutes in game time real quick.
Watch how hard Elliott had to fight to get open, "no free pass" was every teams motto back then. Everyone got bumped anywhere they tried to go. Now the NBA has red carpets out and players run freely anywhere they want to go. League made it an offensive league as opposed to a tough and talented league. Today's game is garbage in my opinion and scoring players should have an asterisk next to their name...*played during the no player can touch you era*
I fully believe Tim Duncan could witness the death of a loved one on a basketball court, get interviewed by a reporter, and in the most monotone voice say: “It’s uh fine, you know, we put our best into it and we’ll be back next time.”
Remember when he slapped the floor in G7 of the '13 finals? That was genuinely shocking to see. Not even a deal with just about any other player, but seeing Duncan do that was just... Damn.
One of the best rewinds in awhile, I like many others wasn’t familiar with this play and I feel like that’s really rare to see on youtube at this point for me when it comes to stories about the nba
You have to do a rewind of the Blues vs Stars in Game 7 of 2019 2nd Round of the Playoffs. That was the series that catapulted St. Louis to the Stanley Cup championship. Both the Blues and Stars had a respectful rivalry and Game 7 was a tradition between the two teams.
I have always loved Timmy and the Spurs.. that image of Elliott's heels hovering over the sideline before draining that shot is an iconic moment in my sports fandom career.
It is pretty crazy/amazing how the Spurs managed to put such good (+great) teams on the floor for such an insanely long stretch. Drafting Robinson & then getting Duncan when his career was winding down set em up really tough for almost 30 years; (but they did also put together such solid supporting casts around them most every yr. Killed the draft so many times-Parker, and then they get Ginolbli in the 2ND goddamn rd! Man. & Leonard on the way after that. What badass scouting in that club back then man). Spurs were the Red Wings of the NBA for about the same 25-30 yr stretch. Pretty f#%kin unbelievable run (on both counts).
Just like when some poor linebacker sent Bledsoe to the bench and allowed Brady to rise and kill every teams joy for the rest of existence, Portland birthed the bane of Suns fans existence by creating this dynasty, I personally despise the Spurs being a salty Knicks fan.
“GM and self-appointed coach, Gregg Popovich, was on the chopping block as their record hit 6-8”
That is a hilarious line to listen to 20 years later.

Still chokes me up 23 years later as a lifelong spurs fan to see that shot somehow go in, all those great 90s teams never making it happen was so tough then 1 miracle trey righted the ship into a dynasty, I'll never forget that shot
Man, what a beautiful moment for the spurs and Elliot.
Anyone else feel nostalgia for NBA games ending with both teams scoring under 90 points?
that spurs team in the 99 03 05 and 07 finals held teams under 78 multiple times in all 4 series....they were slow and defensive...they held teams under 75 in the 99 05 and 07 finals
@@razkable Yep, the shot clock on offense was changed because of them. Because they would drag the clock out after offense rebounds. 3 offense rebounds in a row. YOu can lose a minutes in game time real quick.
Watch how hard Elliott had to fight to get open, "no free pass" was every teams motto back then. Everyone got bumped anywhere they tried to go. Now the NBA has red carpets out and players run freely anywhere they want to go. League made it an offensive league as opposed to a tough and talented league. Today's game is garbage in my opinion and scoring players should have an asterisk next to their name...*played during the no player can touch you era*
Which translated to the 2000s.
The early and especially mid 2000s were in fact the most defensive and full of low scores filled with adversities.
NO!
I was 5 and this is the first game I can vividly recall watching in my childhood. Thanks for the memories SB.
I fully believe Tim Duncan could witness the death of a loved one on a basketball court, get interviewed by a reporter, and in the most monotone voice say:
“It’s uh fine, you know, we put our best into it and we’ll be back next time.”
Remember when he slapped the floor in G7 of the '13 finals? That was genuinely shocking to see. Not even a deal with just about any other player, but seeing Duncan do that was just... Damn.
@@watershipdowneyjr Yeah, rare reaction. Understandable too, since he missed a shot that he usually makes.
His favourite flavour is plain
One of the best rewinds in awhile, I like many others wasn’t familiar with this play and I feel like that’s really rare to see on youtube at this point for me when it comes to stories about the nba
You have to do a rewind of the Blues vs Stars in Game 7 of 2019 2nd Round of the Playoffs. That was the series that catapulted St. Louis to the Stanley Cup championship. Both the Blues and Stars had a respectful rivalry and Game 7 was a tradition between the two teams.
I dislike watching sports games but these videos are a wonderful medium with more background info and story telling in a nice package! Well done SB.
That 98-99 Portland team was one of my favorite teams ever. The deepest team I ever saw. They had 8 players lead the team in 8 different categories.
They should've won the 2000 WCF but it's was rigged
@@oeao2841 so rigged they missed every shot for 7 straight minutes…
Always the best Rewinds ever!
"LOOK AT THE EMOTION"
Tim Duncan: 👁👄👁
I was there with my father. We thought about leaving early in the fourth quarter. Needless to say, I'm glad we stuck around.
Finally some Spurs love.
I have always loved Timmy and the Spurs.. that image of Elliott's heels hovering over the sideline before draining that shot is an iconic moment in my sports fandom career.
Geronimo Rulli saving David DeGea's penalty in the 2021 Europa League Final REQUIRES a deep rewind
ESPN has become the TMZ of sports. I love this UA-cam channel. Great content!
I remember watching this at my aunt's house. I think it was Memorial Day.
It says memorial day miracle on the tape my man
Secret Base is easily among the top three channels. Every entry is excellent. Keep on keeping on!
"Patrick Kane's goal in the 2010 Stanley cup Finals need a rewind"
It is pretty crazy/amazing how the Spurs managed to put such good (+great) teams on the floor for such an insanely long stretch. Drafting Robinson & then getting Duncan when his career was winding down set em up really tough for almost 30 years; (but they did also put together such solid supporting casts around them most every yr. Killed the draft so many times-Parker, and then they get Ginolbli in the 2ND goddamn rd! Man. & Leonard on the way after that. What badass scouting in that club back then man).
Spurs were the Red Wings of the NBA for about the same 25-30 yr stretch. Pretty f#%kin unbelievable run (on both counts).
Just like when some poor linebacker sent Bledsoe to the bench and allowed Brady to rise and kill every teams joy for the rest of existence, Portland birthed the bane of Suns fans existence by creating this dynasty, I personally despise the Spurs being a salty Knicks fan.
Every SB Nation video is so damn good. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but every aspect of them is impressive.
can you do a rewinder on john starks final shot against rockets in game 6 of the 1994 nba finals
More like Hakeem's block.
As much as I would like that, they kind of brought it up in the worst NBA Finals Game 7 ever
Bet a miss one shot.
11:36 has me dead I love this channel so much
I’m pro legalization, but smoking weed out of a sprite can should always be illegal just on principle. Smh
The Spurs should have never left the Alamodome. Having that Loud and Massive Crowd was a Huge Advantage.
Should have ended with..."the shot that launched a dynasty"
I'm not first but I'm happy to see this content happy holidays
This is exactly what I wanted for breakfast.
Just discovered this channel and they seem to like making videos about my favorite sports teams as of late so this is nice
Seems the Spurs had no problem winning a championship with Avery Johnson at the point. IJS
still waiting for damon to win one.🙄🤪✌😎
Thaaaaank you!! I've been waiting for this,!!! More Spurs videos please!
2005 Champions League final rewinder please. Aka. The miracle of Istanbul
