  • The season before this, the Lakers got swept in the WCF by the Jazz

  • Asterisk title for the Spurs that year. LAL.

  • i was heart broken when the lakers lost this series back in 99 we got swept. I was in 3rd grade when i saw this.

  • The '99 Spurs were one of the greatest basketball teams of all time.

    Avery Johnson = the distributor

    Sean Elliot = the clutch shooter

    David Robinson = the versatile center

    Tim Duncan = the superstar forward

  • @ArcadianGenesis Agreed!

  • Lakers are bitches with their classless fans

  • So was this their last LA Forum game? 

  • @ranelproductions Yes. As a native San Antonian, I still remember the headline in the newspaper the next day: "Spurs sweep Lakers to close down the Forum."

  • Just my impression, or the NBC commentator was clearly shocked and sad with the Lakers defeat? Sounded really not professional to me,someone from USA who is familiar with NBC and this particular commentator can correct me if i'm wrong. But what I can say for sure is that the commentator treated it like if it was strange,or a shame for Lakers to lose that series, clearly underestimating the POWERFUL squad Spurs had at this time, Spurs won because they were better. Beat LA is the best thing ever.

  • @KingNurk Beat LA is the most annoying thing ever but honestly as a Laker fan it makes me feel good to be hated by the league. I think it comes from envy. No other franchise or brand even comes close. LAL.

  • @PStewart28 The Celtics with more titles and having defeated Lakers many times disagree. Hehehe. The ladder is: Celtics, Bulls, 3rd the Lakers.

  • I don't know y they don't hang all 16 banners, instead its only 11!? They won 5 titles in Minnesota, those should b displayed individually. They have 1 banner for all 5 MN Laker titles. Well, those titles r just as important as the LA titles & should get the same recognition. Plus, Boston shouldn't b the only team to have a ton of banners in their arena! The Lakers have 16 World Titles not 11! If the Yankees moved to a different city r they going to not bring their banners? Of course they would!

  • @TiltBrook Add the Lakers 1948 "National Basketball Leauge" title & the Lakers have 17 tites total, tied with the celtics for the most of all time.

  • spurs winning their first ship ever in '99...i love the stories about the spurs winning in a shorten season was a give away...what they seem to forget was that the scheldule played by, not just the spurs, was ridiculus. you try playing back to back to backs and come out with the best record in the league. let alone sweep a team in their final game in their former stadium. quite the accolade.

  • @Jokadamasta 16-4 bud

  • its dick bavetta reffing this game

    

  • Kobe being swept on two different championship caliber teams....Yea he's better than MJ. lmao 

  • @Kingjd87 Jordan was beaten by the Bad Boys 3 straight times with a caliber team. I believe Jordan is the best, but you have to think the SPURS were a ride of passage for Kobe

  • @jose2007cc

    The Bulls were no where near a championship caliber team in the 80s bro. NO WHERE NEAR ONE. It wasn't until the 90s that the Bulls became legit contenders. Jordan made the Bulls better than they were in the 80s similar to LeBron on the Cavs. Kobe got swept with 2 legit championship caliber teams the one from this clip and this past post season.

  • @Kingjd87 Kobe didn't just get swept, the Lakers got swept.

  • Rick Fox being a bitch as usual @1:15

  • @Jokadamasta you sound like an ignorant fanboy with a dick in ur mouth.

  • @Jokadamasta Lakers shut the Alamodome down too. Aint dat some ish?

  • Spurs shut the forum down and then they stoped the lakers 3peat...dam i love my spurs!

  • @mlo9357 they didn't. The Pistons did.

  • Fisher got them back with the 0.4 shot

  • @schristofalo lol, that sham where they forgot to start the clock? notice how the highlights they show conveniently stop the camera just before the shot clock would appear?

    the next game was even better, when brent barry had fisher land completely on top of him, and no foul was called

    smart ass phil jackson makes one of his typically retarded comments that the spurs needed an asterisk because of the strike...it's just to bad his 00,01,and 02 "championships" are the ones that need asterisks

  • @banklikefrankwhite1 Haha funny

  • @schristofalo yep, funny cuz it's true

  • 99' Spurs. I loved this team. This is what comes to mind when I think of the Spurs. Great year!

  • In 1999 Spurs beat Lakers in their last year at the GW Forum. In 2002 Lakers beat Spurs in their last year at the Alamo Dome. The first year in the Staples Center, the Lakers win a championship and the first year in the AT&T Center, the Spurs win a championship

  • @Jokadamasta You're a tool - no Laker fan has 'nightmares' about '99, are you serious? "Yeah, we got those five titles but DAMN that random 1999 series!" And guess which team knocked the Spurs out of the Alamodome?

  • @arsonpedestrian spurs play in da at&t center dumbass

  • @ManChicken123 Right - after the Lakers knocked them out of the Alamodome, like I just said. Are you really this stupid? If so, congrats.

  • GO SPURS GO!!

  • the spurs lost to memphis come on sorry SAS fans put your money wer your mouth is

  • THIS JSUT LIKE GAME 1 AND GAME 2 WITH BOSTON JUST LIKE WITH BOS SPURS PISTONS  WOOOOOOW I HATE THIS FEELINGS

  • ur greatest player KOBE lakers fans has a bad record in the playoffs.swept by the jazz ('98)swept by the spurs ('98)lmost got swept with 4 future hall famers in the lineup (finals '04)

    lost to the spurs in 2003 with the most dominant center in the lineup. blew the biggest margin in Finals history (FINALS '08, epic fail), lost by 39 (the largest margin in a title clinching game, Finals '08), haha what a douche

  • @Jokadamasta I respect your opinion but they went against the Cavs so it isn't that important because the Cavs were inexperienced and young then and they weren't that good but you r right but I know Kobe and Shaq were better but you have your opinion to but i'm done with this whole thing.

  • Spurs Fan here...But damn This is why i love the NBA!!

    The Spurs and Lakers!!! thats it...best two teams in the last decade hands down!!

  • @Jokadamasta Oh and I bet you if Shaq was on the Lakers for about 4 more years and Kobe would've never blackmailed him they would've won about 2 more championships I guarantee it so stop hating on Shaq and Kobe they are the greatest duo in their generation so I'm done.

  • @Jokadamasta First of all Kobe did not rape that girl they framed him because he was and African-Amercian and I'm not African American I'm Filipino second of all Kobe was not developed yet and I bet you if he was there (Duncan) they still would've lost and that 0.4 shot wasn't BULLSHIT it was pure skill and execution and so what if Shaq was in Kazaam what does that have anything to do with it. Just because he has a personality and hes in movies and Tim Duncan doesn't get in movies?! WTF

  • @Jokadamasta So what about 99' Kobe wasn't even developed yet so that's why 2000,2001,2002,2004 spurs got there ass whooped so it doesn't matter and also they won the championship 3 years in a row

  • Comment removed

  • 50 game regular season, even playing field and the Spurs got it done, the only people who put an asterisk on this season are fans of teams that got beat up by a juggernaut Spurs team. 50 or 82 game season, bottom line, Lakers and Spurs played 4 in the playoffs that year and the Spurs won them all.

  • all i got to say to u spurs fan is , the 0.4 shot, 3peat and dominating the west for the past decade AND ANOTHER 3 PEAT IN THE MAKING

  • @MexDurango11 all i have to say to u lakers fan is you really should send stern a thank you letter or a gift for all the playoff games the refs have thrown for yall in the last decade. mine as well send the ex lakers who are now GM's for other teams too. nothing says lakers better than cheating other teams in shady trades.

  • @MexDurango11 swept again in round TWO LIKE THIS YEAR! How did that three peat go for you? LOL.

  • @onblock7

    didnt happen but three consecutive finals, ill love to see the spurs have a three peat or even step in the finals three stright times or if your not a spurs fan just a laker hater watching videos of the lakers losing your team will never ever three peat nor go to three finals striagt , so please shut up your ignorant we had a good run

  • @MexDurango11 STFU!!!!!  Good lord just stop it. Spurs had a good run too, please stop it. I see you are still mad and fiery over your defeat you just had. This is not about this year or the other years, this is about 99 here! This video is 99 bro! Thats what I am namely talking about.

  • classy

  • baaam 4:0

  • Ah, the *Asterik 1999 season! Sorry, this dosen't count.

  • @DoomDarenxbourg That's an old ass argument and is invalid bc it was meant to imply it was a fluke but when they went on to get 3 more titles the asterik slight is just seen as a buffoonish claim. Even Jackson himself stopped with that bs.

  • @DoomDarenxbourg lol this does count but if the season was a full 82 who knows maybe miami would have played portland in the finals!

  • @genesis6mythology Sorry, a 50gm season is different from an 82gm season. There may be another season like this in 2012 if the lockout happens this summer.

  • @DoomDarenxbourg STFU already they beat whoever they had to and soundly! PERIOD! Thats old and for loser fans the Spurs dominated that year.

  • @onblock7 Both our teams got their ASSES kicked this year though. Lakers have 5 spurs 4. To be comtinued next year!

  • @DoomDarenxbourg I hope man, my damn team made me forget this year already with that lol.

  • @onblock7 Can't win every year. But if there's one thing the Lakers & spurs have proved over the last decade is they always come back! 2012 will be no different.

  • @DoomDarenxbourg I agree.

  • Some places just shouldnt be closed, the forum is one of them.

  • I hate the lakers 

  • Shame Timmy got hurt in 2000...would've liked to have seen a rematch. Would've been a better series than 99 or 01...might've also told the Spurs sooner that the 90s group was getting OLD, sans Timmy.

  • The Spurs were the best defensive team in the league. It was hard to score against them. Nowadays they lead the league in wins because of offense. Duncan, Ginobili and Parker are back plus they have good help around them with Blair, McDyess, Hill, Jefferson and of course Matt Bonner is a mad man at the 3 point line

  • @mymanjay well said

  • im not worried about this, WE ENDED THE SPURS ARENA IN THE SAME WAY LOL

  • Fuck the Lakers...

  • it's funny reading the comments cause first of all san antonio plays team basketball and the keyword is TEAM basketball.....something that the other 29 teams can't do. Lakers on the other its all about kobe.....when he wins he says" yea i did what i have to do so we can win which means im going to ball hog and not let my teammates play" when kobe loses he likes to throw one of his teammates under the bus. So u tell me, Kobe the best naw he aint worth shit to me and he aint no michael jordan...

  • gpingon9lives, I hardly think playing the last game in the Alamodome is the same thing as playing the last game in the Forum. The Spurs had only played a few years in the Alamodome and had very little meaningful history. No championships. Appreciate you making such a comparison, but even as a Spurs fan, I can't claim it is the same thing.

  • is it more or did tim Duncan pas the ball out of bounds to his teammate.. ate l35

  • Its Funny how people say Shaq could've won those tittles wit out Kobe...When Shaq had Eddie Jones, Van Excel (2 all-stars) they didnt win shytt cuz they got swept twice...But when Kobe got his minutes and stepped in as a full starter in 99-00 they win da tittles.!!

  • @Curtis7414 they won or started winning when tim duncan got injured in 00. from 2000-2002 the spurs lost coz the only legitimate player the spurs have other than tim duncan is a washed up david robinson.

  • @fingertapper1 Shut the fuck up Tim Duncan was not hurt that were his best years what are u talking about? Thats when we was winning back to back MVP's and ur telling me he was hurt? move around with that

  • @Curtis7414 learn to fucking read moron. i said lakers started winning when duncan got injured in 2000. he never played a single playoff game in 2000. the reason why lakers got some confidence and experience.

    in 2001-2002 duncan was playing with one of the worst supporting casts ever yet he carried them to the higher playoff seedings.

  • Spurs had a way of beating that Laker ass

  • @GoingOn9Lives Didnt da Lakers sweep da spurs in 01?? Yes they did so stop wit da bull shit people...Fuck da spurs Lakers got 16 tittles (5 in recent memory) and spurs got 4 over-all so hop of Stupid spur fans

  • @Jokadamasta shut up faggot!!! who has the edge in playoff matches head to head?!

    and the spurs lost thier last game at the Alamo dome the the lakers in a sweep during 01 so YOU EAT A DICK!!! FAGGOT!!!

  • 4:25 Kobe SUCK! out

  • 0.4

  • So what if its was in Minneapolis its still the Lakers yo; Its one franchise so its 16 for the Lakers to your Spurs 4. I know it hurts!

  • @madrecka VERY TRUE BUT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES DOESNT OWN 16 TROPHIES AND IT HAS TAKIN THE LAKERS AROUND 30 TIMES TO THE FINALS TO WIN THAT AMOUNT BOSTON HAS 17 IN 20 OR 21 TRIES....4 TRIES 4 TROPHIES TO A SMALL MARKET ILL TAKE IT N E DAY.. TIM PLAYED WITH NO NAMERS ALONG SIDE BESIDES ROBINSON...LAKERS PUT SHAQ,KOBE,HORRY AT THE TIME A 2 TIME CHAMP..1999 WE SHUT DA FORUM DOWN 2003 WAS DA SWEETEST KOBE AND DA GANG ON DA BENCH CRYN A RIVER.............GO SPURS GO

  • @mistafear1 and the Lakers shut down the Alamodome in '02 4 games to 1. The Lakers own the Spurs 4 games to 2 within the last decade in the playoffs. Plus the Lakers defend their Titles but the Spurs never have defended titles. We own the Spurs in the all time playoffs series 8 to 3. Spurs you have to check up! So what about '03; the Lakers got revenge on your team in '04 and '08; oh yea Lakers stop your Spurs from repeating in '08. Lakers all day every day!

  • @madrecka

    Who cares about the Lakers anyway. They'll get championships whenever they want. If you just became a Lakers fan to flaunt Lakers titles, how did you become a basketball fan in the first place?

  • @Gold753 I became a Lakers fan back in '82 when Showtime was in their run; that year the Lakers beat the Sixers 4 games to 2. I've been a Lakers fan during Showtime and after Showtime; during the hardtimes in the early and mid '90s; Shaq and Kobe came in '96 then the 3 peat ('00,'01,'02) and after Shaq left and during the 4 yr dry period; now the Lakers 2x NBA Champions! LOL!!!!

  • @mistafear1 go spurs go! LOL!!!! Your Spurs are watching my Lakers win back to back NBA Titles!!! Something that your Spurs never have done. LOL!!! So what if it took 30 times to win 16 Titles; 16 Titles are 16 Trophies compared to the Spurs 4 Titles! Your Spurs are 12 behind my Lakers in Titles. Oh yea the Lakers own the Spurs 8 to 3 in the NBA Western Playoffs! We own your team! Peace out!!!

  • Does anyone know what song that is playing in the background at 3:13-3:47? Thanks!

  • This series DOES NOT COUNT, because of the Lockout! Like Phil Jackson said in 2001 when we sweeped the spurs back, *

  • @DoomDarenxbourg Are you serious?Every series counts.

  • @RohoicRamz94 I am serious. The Lockout 99 season was only 50 games long! It's gotta be 82 games for it to be fair. The spurs were hot at that time, going on a 12 game winning streak in the postseason. Thats the all time record, but it was in the Lockout 99 season.

  • WHAT A GREAT WAY TO CLOSE DOWN THE FORUM!!!!

  • The Staples Center looks so cold and boring compared to the old Forum, it's sad they didn't try to renovate it. Madison Square Garden is the only classic arena that still holds a NBA team, Boston at least tried to mantain the classic feeling when they moved to the Fleet Center (aka Boston Garden).

  • @ElTuco84 The Forum was good in its heyday but it was past its prime. It was time for a new arena. It was showing its age. I like the Staples Center better. It's not perfect. For example the 3-level luxury boxes puts the top rows way too high. The Staples Center doesn't have the intimidating feeling that other arenas have when visiting teams play, with the rows packed on you like in Utah or Sacramento. But Staples is a nicer arena than the Forum. With better amenities.

  • @DiverseLA

    I like Staples Center and I agree the 3 consecutive suite levels make the nosebleeds a pain! However, I haven't been to a Lakers game at Staples let alone the Forum. I'd attend Clippers or Sparks games should I go there

  • @ElTuco84 Also a "real" renovation of the Forum would've probably meant the Lakers might have to play in another arena while it was being worked on. They'd have to put in luxury boxes, sky boxes, and maybe better eateries & a cafe and bar... the Forum didn't have a lot of stuff that Staples has.

  • i was at this game....GO SPURS GO ~!!!

  • Does anyone have game 2 or 3, the one where Duncan scored the game winner with 8 seconds left ?

  • kurt rambis lol what a joke..

  • Damm how did you get this game, I have beening looking for this forever. This is proof without Phil jackson, Spurs would have possible 8 titles by now. No one remembers how good Duncan was, the lakers needed a 3 head monstor of shaq, kobe and phil jackson to to beat the spurs, GO SPURS GO,

  • @deepmolloy Sadly enuff, U maybe right.

  • @deepmolloy YOU SUCK.

  • I promise u one team the Lakers don't want to face in this year's playoffs...is the Spurs.

    C'mon a number one seed losing two

    games to an imature, inexperienced eighth seed...LAkers don't really want it this year.

    Last year Kobe played with a chip on his shoulder, winning without shaq.

    There's is no motivation for them

  • @lonestargun YEAH THAT WOULD BE A GREAT MATCHUP.

  • @lonestargun Yo Spurs fan! Your Spurs were swept by the Phoenix Suns in the 2nd round of the Western Playoffs. The Suns who destroyed your Spurs lost to the Lakers in the Western Finals 4 games to 2.

    Yes The Lakers just won their 16th NBA Trophy over the Celtics! Back to back(2009 and 2010) your Spurs were watching the Lakers win again. Dang what happened?

    The Lakers won 5 Titles in 10 yrs to your Spurs 3(From 2000 to 2010). Lol!!

  • lol lakers never sweep spurs hahahahaaha lakers suck

  • @a210stoner

    The Lakers swept the Spurs in the 2001 NBA Western Conference Finals.

  • @BrownBrother27 stfu kuz we didnt play lackers stupid

  • @a210stoner

    Yes the Lakers swept the Spurs in the 2001 West Finals

  • @a210stoner

    google the nba's official page on 2001 playoffs coverage

  • Only fitting that the Spurs beat the Lakers in the last game in the Forum

  • What a difference a year makes the Lakers were schooled by the Spurs in 99 they get Phil Jackson and destroyed everybody in the league for the next 3 years.

  • @MrHrana1 Lol you are a fool if you think all they did was get Phil Jackson to start winning. Phil was one of the 'many' keys to their success

  • I'm so glad the Spurs beat those stupid ass lakers. I'm sorry but MOST laker fans are complete morons.

  • Madrecka why the fuck are you commenting shit on a page where Da spurs whooped your lakers ASSES so that makes you damn idiot and one more thing tell me who won the championship in 1999 thats right not the fucking lakers

  • madrecka your just a damn fool man just a damn fool Spurs fans dont give a a god damn about Lakers so you can fuck off and take your faget LA Style with you your little facts just make me laugh how a jackass thinks he knows shit your a fucking joke PERIOD

  • madrecka loves COCK

  • madrecka loves COCK

  • LOL: 6:56... "I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU!!!!"

    rofl

  • man why is no one there, its a second round game? just cuz there down 3-0, it could be the last game there, nice fan base, thats why i cant stand the lakers organization, talk shit wen they win, hide in a corner wen they lose, fuck staples center, i want the forum back

  • I remember Magic Johson said "Let's take care of those Spurs and let's go to the next round!" That pissed the Spurs off because they came so far and they paid their dues.This is not the same Spurs you faced in your heyday.Had it not been for the Spurs the Lakers would have surely 5-peated

  • there's no way they win the title in 99 even if they come back and win this series

  • I'm sure Shaq and Kobe could get past Portland because they had Robert Horry and Derek Fisher and they couldn't even handle David Robinson in the paint or boards-U think they could handle Shaq? They beat a better Portland the following year with Scottie Pippen.Who would be next? New York? New York Knicks for once didn't choke but they were just a shadow of their former selves look how injuries caught up with them in the Finals. Shaq and Kobe would have picked them apart just like the Spurs did.

  • Comment removed

  • Spurs only have 4 NBA rings compared to the Lakers 15?

    I'll spit and piss on Texas!!! LOL!!!!

    Cali is the bomb! Stop copying our styles Texas why Houston and Dallas want to be L.A. so bad? LOL!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Mike! Mike! Mike! Why are so angry? I really struck a nerve haven't I MikeDonte21? It doesn't matter if the NBA Titles were back then they still count in the record books MikeDonte21.

    Lakers own the Spurs in their overall playoff match ups 8-3. Rings count and the Lakers are the Defending Champs Spurs fan. See I can talk to you without cursing but Cali is the bomb and Texas is always copying our styles and you know this. Peace!

  • @madrecka U SERIOUS FUCK CALI AND WHEN I SEE A LAKER FAN HERE IN TEXAS I ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO LET HIM KNOW THAT!!!YALLS STYLE R SO OLD WHO DA FUK WHERES FLANELS AND WHO EVEN GANGBANGS..O YA WE DO UR MOMMA.....WE BOUT MAKIN MONEY DOWN HERE...

  • @mistafear1 Texas you're behind California and New York! The love of money is the root of all evil. Life is more than making money all the time; The South style is wack!

  • @madrecka fuck nigga i'm from da deep south u better watch ur mounth 4 we cum n get u n we runin dis shyt now pussynigga

  • actually most fans were pissed at the lakers for choking a big stage...unfourtunately for the spurs.payback came 2 years later..and it was worse than what the spurs did to the lakers..the spurs did have home court that series

  • bullshit the spurs were just not good enough to beat the lakers 2 years later every NBA fan knows that Lakers were just fricken loaded thats when spursgot Stephen jackson manu and parker was more skilled and they got another big man in racho nestroivic and David robinson was fully heatlhy wich he wasnt the 2 years prior the spurs beat lakers 4-2 in 03 and crushed the lakers 4

    Peat and had some bad luck in 04 with the fisher shot with 0.4 Sec but they came back in 05 to reatain the title

  • and also lakers didn't choke they just got beat Spurs where the best team that year and the Champs of NBA case closed go ask shaq he'll tell ya they good their ass whooped

  • well yeah the spurs deserve credit for beating the lakers in 99...i'm not 1 of those lakers fans who think the spurs title was tainted...everybody had the same chance and the same amount of games..they got the job done

  • emmit2200 finally someone who makes some sense lol good point

  • xonez..... that's something u can do, one player can pass the ball to another playr in the outside, that new player is now inbounding the ball, to have a new angle.

  • whoa whoa whoa, look at that!!! 1:37-39 mark, he step out of bounce!!!, the ball was already passed in, whaaaaa

  • LOL Jack Nickleson 9:31

  • That was the Lock-out season were the NBA teams ONLY Played about 53 games each so the Spurs championship should have a really big astric * next to that year. It really shouldn't count becacuse teams were not able to work themselves into a groove and a Basketball playing lather as in a normal 82 game season.

  • I dont think so if anything the lockout made it harder to win and last I checked every team played the same amount of games and had enough time to work into that groove we see it every year teams peaking early its not the spurs fault that they were better than every other team there should be no astric there should be an expenation point .

  • I agree jriv they had enough time to work into a groove though Jordan said the Bulls would have beaten the Spurs for the ring.

  • Yeah I think Jordan was right no one could beat the Bulls not only were they just better than every other team they had the mental edge and of course they had the GOAT Michael Jordan.

  • Thank you, im from san antonio and i tired of people saying they won because of the lock out. I guess if you want to put that astric sure, but the other three, try to argue with those. I agree with jriv37. thanks for your comment

  • Its a legit Title. 50 games t was but even that was enough games. Even if it went 82 games the Spurs still would have won it all. If anything the 2002 Lakers Title should have a big asterik * by it because the NBA fixed the 2002 West FInals when the Kings were WAY BETTER than the Lakers 2-man team.

  • Since Jordan's second retirement, either the Spurs or Lakers make it to the NBA Finals except the 06 Finals.

  • actually since '99 the team having either duncan or shaq was always one of the teams in the finals up through '07. nice little stat for ya :)

  • the nba where the lakers are 8- 3 in the playoffs all time against the spurs happens

  • the nba where the celtics are 9-2 all time in finals against the Lakers...LMAO!!!

  • still harping on the past huh?...u enjoy the one championship since 86?...u had a 1 year window and u capitalized...good job..wanna cookie?...just give a big thanks to kevin mchale

  • the nba where the spurs will always be the second best team of the decede , behind the lakers happens lol

  • That Spurs team was a team of ring hungry vets and a young Duncan. This Lakers team was talented, but were transitioning. They got rid of a lot of dead weight between 98 and 99. Del Harris could never control all the stars on the team, Van Excel was a malcontent, Eddy Jones was the invisible man come playoff time, and Elden Campbell was the Kwame Brown of his day. Coach Jackson along with vets Ron Harper, Brian Shaw and AC Green were the last pieces of the puzzle needed.

  • That Malik Rose dunk was the story of the series for the Lakers - just being outworked by the Spurs! It was back-to-back sweeps in 1998 and 1999 in the same fashion - immaturity by the Lakers and patience by the Spurs and Jazz.

  • Kiss the rings, Bitches!

  • texas is the home of the playas and pimps

  • The NBA Championship Trophy is in Cali as the Lakers are the Defending Champs

    Spurs fans.

  • What did the Junk Yard Dog do to that guy???

  • Kurt Rambis will take over once Phil retires from the Lakers!!

  • TEXAS

  • California!

    The Lakers got revenged on the Spurs 2 yrs later in 2001 Western Conference Finals 4 games to 0 Sweep and the Spurs had home court advantage.

  • @madrecka AND DA SPURS GOT REVENGE 2 YEARS AFTER THAT..2003 KLEENEX N E 1...N E 1 GOT DAT VIDEO WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT AGAIN

  • @mistafear1 i AGREE CASE IM POINT..THE SA SPURS SHOWED DIGNITY IN LOSING THOSE SERIES, THEY DIDNT HAVE TEARS IN THEIR EYES WHEN THEY WERE DEFEATED...THEY TOOK IT LIKE MEN GROWN MEN..PROFESSIONALS..

    NOT LIKE KOBE FISH AND WHO ELSE IN 03' SPURS ARE A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT A CHAMPION IS SUPPOSE TO MERIT...... REPEATS OR NO REPEATS...DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THEY SHOWED CLASS AND SUBSTANCE...JUST LIKE SHOULD I DARE SAY LAKERS AND CELTICS 1980'S

  • damn everyone talked about lebron walking off the court and not shaking hands, kobe did the same thing lol

  • Geez this hurt so bad in 98 n 99 gettin swept I guess it was worth what we got the next three years.

  • Yeah, U got Phil Jackson, a new arena and 3 consecutive Championships.

  • that 3 peat was scripted!! shaq saves the nba goin into a strike.. and what does he get back? 3 rings! fuck l.a

  • Maybe it was scripted, maybe it wasn't and you can say what u want about Shaq and that team but it's already in the books so what can you really do about it?

  • did saw i say i wanted to do something about it? i was just sayin.. look it up!

  • Really? Are you high or retarded?

  • though 10 years ago, it's nice to know Spurs fans have somewhere to go today to remember what winning was like.

    LMFAO!

  • Try two years ago.

  • against the Lakers. Don't think so. 1999 was their last playoff victory of LA. Past that it has been PURE LA DOMINATION.

  • No...the Spurs beat the Lakers in the 2003 semi-finals 4-2. I still remember Kobe Bryant crying as he sulked to the locker room as he realized that there would be no fourth championship...at least not until 2009, of course.
