NBA's 60 Greatest Playoff Moments: #47

[MiracleToolCompany]

Clyde Drexler had a quadruple double once; unfortunately the fourth category was turnovers :-(

[bonzie1645]

IMO this is tim duncan's greatest performance in his career and he did it in the biggest stage of them all.

[wilsonsmilk]

yikes! almost a quad double?! RESPECT

[mikewallace1967]

Jeez the nets in the finals?

[marcrib79]

The greatest PF of all time...

[FilledBox]

Must confess I didnt like TD either but I remember this historical performance as if it was yesterday. thats what this game is all about

[Lukemellow]

...and don't forget, TD defended K-Mart... he shot 3 for 23 in that game. #awesome D

[thexalon]

I just like watching Tim Duncan's impeccable footwork. There's a reason he's almost always exactly where he needs to be to make the play. Unfortunately, most TV coverage focuses more on the upper body moves, so it's harder to see.

[rockfan96channel]

i hate people comment about him being "boring" i find him fun to watch coz he plays the game so well, he is the greatest PF all time and he does it without being some flashy guy, he is a legend

[muteol]

why is everyone saying if "kobe did this it would've been higher"? what did kobe do to you all? i agree duncan doesn't get his credit but kobe has nothing to do with this.

[DZG]

duncan construction

[MrBrainiac25]

If Kobe put up these numbers this moment probably would of been top ten. The NBA doesn't give Duncan or the Spurs much respect

[BAMF7000]

Greatest BIG man duo of all time...

[m1k3y0011]

TIMMY!!

[Paragon231]

When a guy controls the passing game, the scoring game, the defensive game and the rebounding game, I think that accounts for something better than #47

[terryts2]

I loved this game. It meant so much. It was like a passing of the torch from The Admaril David Robinson to Tim Duncan. The only thing wrong with this highlight was David Stern being in here.

[FallenHardstyler]

the best pf ever with his best performance ever on rank nr.47 ? must be kiddin ..

[majiicpu3D]

boring

[onblock7]

@majiicpu3D I will take boring anyday to get that lol.......... BTW I know you were being sarcastic there, just laughed myself.

[CoolerKing37]

This was David Robinson's last game too.

[FLO31]

how is this not higher than shaq's near quadruple double? shaq didn't even get the triple double... duncan did.. and Duncan's came in the game that won the championship...

[wiseman2024]

@FLO31 Shaq always managed to draw the triple-team in his heyday. When that monster performance happened, it was like Godzilla and King Kong had a child and named him Shaq.

[STmadourie]

David Stern WE NEED A CHANGE

[EvanConover]

It's a shame superstars like Duncan, who are quiet and respectful, yet talented, go ignored compared to assholes like Kevin Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, or Shaq.

[OlliNuGun]

did he say world champion? I'm not saying the NBA Champ IS the best team in the world but it's still pretty tasteless to call a national champion "world champion"

[DRizZyDL]

y is shaq's almost quad double mcuhg higher than this again?

[mookeychase0907]

These faggots never lost in The Finals they were a reeeal good team. Jason Kidd shoulda won MVP this year not Timmy. He took The Nets from worst to first and then to The finals.It was a one player swap him for Stephon what does that say about him?

[SquantoThePenguin]

@mookeychase0907 technically he took the nets "from worst to first" the year before when they went to the finals then as well

[mookeychase0907]

@SquantoThePenguin Yeah I know it was 2001-2002 against The Lakers that's the year Im talking about. They gave Tim Duncan MVP that year Jason shoulda won it...

[JohnFromSpace]

The Team that stopped the Lakers Dynasty, nearly a Quadrouple double for Duncan. TD=Most unappreciated player of all time

[CoolerKing37]

Who is Tim Duncan tied with in playoff blocks?

[TheGriff1014]

@CoolerKing37 he was tied with shaq.... then dwight howard had nine last year in game 4 of the finals. see shaq 8 block game at no. 37.

[maxedwell]

I mentioned this in another vid, but the top 3 vids on the NBA's list are lame & focus on the HYPE more than The Game. That includes my fav player Magic @ #2. Heck, the whole order of these 60 is lame.

IMO, Duncan's 3 pointer vs the Suns in '08 shoulda made this list. Honorable mention to Bruce Bowen's nonstop barrage of baseline 3's vs the Lakers in 2003. 27 pts on 7-8? Whoa! Bowen's improvement on that one shot was HUGE & a major factor in da Spurs dethroning the former champs.

[HonoreT35]

Tim Duncan is a class act, fundamental super sound player. He's like the Pete Sampras of Basketball. So dominating yet not flashy. I guess it may be easy to hate him after all. Most of it is rooted in jealousy not real mature complaints.

[maxedwell]

@HonoreT35

Great comparison, Sampras & Duncan. Both understated, classy & absolutely devastating.

I'm a longtime Laker fan, yet it's lame to see people always focus on the MJs, Kobes & Lebrons while overlooking TD. ESPN's recent poll has Kobe as the overwhelming vote getter for best player over the last decade, but IMO it should be a 3-way tie w/ Duncan/Kobe/Shaq.

The people of San Antonio got Duncan AND Robinson... and even got to see 'em play together. How awesome is that? Respect!

[hermom2]

man look at ole timmy back in the day, he is still great now

[TDFromTurkey]

Absolutely.21-20-10-8 What A Statics.İ Think To This İs Def Top 20...

[hermom2]

yea, it should be top 20

[SinJackal]

@TDFromTurkey

It would've been if he was a Lakers player. But he isn't, so there's no way it'll be top 20. These ranks are extremely biased, and in no way are they ranked in proper order imo. Every Lakers highlight Iv'e seen so far were the worst ones of the bunch, and are only there because it was the Lakers. This sort of annoying bias is why I don't like them. WAY overhyped.

[FrankLampardd08]

how is this all the way up at 47?? this is def top 20

[SAtownZ28]

people dont like tim because they think hes slow, hes boring, becasue he doesnt dunk on people. tim doesnt really care about the season. just as long as he makes it to the playoffs hes good. he lets parker and manu take care of the season. but when the playoffs come he jumps up from 17-18 points a night and 8-10 rebounds during the season to 30+ points and 15+ rebounds a game during the playoffs. believe me people tim still has alot left in him.

[nuddin90]

i think that the game 7 of the 2005 nba finals should have been in the top 60 because its just rare to see a finals series go to a game 7.

[kdc111190]

i dont like TD, because he's kinda slow, many say, he's boring... but I respect him 100%.. may be he's boring, because he uses basic post move, but doing it effectively.. he's kinda slow, but a very smart player.. and he has the heart and passion in playing basketball... Tim Duncan the Greatest Power Forward...

[TBlake34]

Watch full videos when he was younger. He's slowed down significantly, but when you see him in this series, you'll be surprised at the quickness and power of his moves.

He's never been explosive like Barkley, but he's old now, so it's easy to forget that he was a stud when he was younger.

[blove323]

and that why they call him mr fundimentals

[kdc111190]

yah, that fits for him! hehe

[lordgamington4]

I think TD is my personal most hated NBA player ever.

[blove323]

why bro cuz he changed a franchaise

[spursbucswhitesoxfan]

You wouldn't happen to be a Suns fan would you??? If you are I understand your hatred for Tim Duncan...

[lordgamington4]

Yes indeed I am, but even before when I was Raptors and Celtics fan I hated him. I'm sure ur a Spurs fan lol.

[spursbucswhitesoxfan]

Yeah he used to whip the Celtics and Raptors asses back in the day too...those where the good ole days. I totally understand your hatred...

[XBebopo]

So you jump teams? You have no right to hate anyone.

[lordgamington4]

As a player not as a person.

[nuddin90]

David Stern, could you move a little, this is duncan's moment to show his trophy. rofl

[drwood04]

This should be much higher...if it was anyone but Tim Duncan who put up 20, 18, 10 and 8 in an NBA championship clinching game, it would have gotten a lot more respect.

[timduncanmvp21]

You are right, but actually he put up 21 points, 20 rebounds

[KuDkrazy]

@drwood04 yeah i know, it sickens me! if kobe put up thoz stats it would be in the top 10 or some dumb bs, NBA is pretty pathtic.

[onblock7]

@drwood04 21, 20, 10 and 8, incredible!!!!!!! Some have scores alot MORE, but this was the complete game, period.

[mmabuff101]

@drwood04 i loved the nets cause i was from jersey, but come on. they shouldve swept the friggin nets

[ripdeth]

@drwood04 I hear that. If it was Kobe, Shaq or MJ it would've been #1.

[oaken444]

TIMMY!

[NegroChiflado]

Im sick of David Stern!

[gimmesomedunks]

@NegroChiflado tell me why

[TheMoparDrvr]

@NegroChiflado AMEN BROTHA

[nuddin90]

Tim Duncan, the greatest power forward of all time. he brought his team back, did everything at the right time.The Big Fundemental. Duncan

[ItsTheCos]

Tim Duncan wents NUTS this game...God he was everywhere...

[nuddin90]

The BEST perfomence of tim duncan's career no doubt, WAY WAY WAY better than Shack's perfomence against the sixers in game 2. cause duncan did it at pressure time. crunch time! Tim Duncan, the Big Fundemental

[astrosfan611]

What is the name of this song?

[bkruse92]

Here are the only 4 quadruple doubles recorded in NBA history: Nate Thurmond, Chicago Bulls (10-18-74) 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, 12 blocks. Alvin Robertson, Spurs (2-18-86) 20 points 11 rebs 10 assists 10 steals Hakeen Olajuwon, Rockets (3-29-90) 18 points 16 rebs 10 assists 11 blocks, David Robinson, Spurs, (2-17-94) 34 pts 10rebs 10 assists 10 blocks. Also wilt chamberline would of had had several quadruple doubles if block shots were counted in his day.

[SergioRenatoReyes]

would bill have??.. if block shots would count

[blove323]

timmy was jus 2 blocksAWAY

[elmolovescookies]

congrats 2 duncan but i have 2 say the spurs championships were the most boring championship games i've ever seen...all they did was pick and roll..

but a good solid team....

(P.S. im a lakers fan just if any1 curious..)

[jermaineonealnumber7]

one of my proudest days as a Spurs fan.

DAVID's night !!!

[jaboo82681]

DRobs last stand!!

[jlolo43]

i know bird came real close once too... but does anyone know if someone has actually had a quad double

[jcjteeju]

I know Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson did...

[spursbucswhitesoxfan]

Nate Thurmond did it for the Bulls once. Alvin Robertson for the Spurs did it a long time ago. David Robinson did it. Hakeem did it twice but one of the times is questioned. He had 10 assists but the scorers only had him at 9. The NBA later corrected it but...they don't recognize that he did it the second time. There are some other people who did it very early, but they can't be verified. Wilt Chamberlain vs. Boston in the playoffs- 24 pts, 32 reb, 13 assists and 12 blks (allegedly) OMG!!

[bkruse92]

Wilt Chamberlain had 3 or 4 quadruple doubles as well as Nate Thurmond

[streli6te]

are u crazy? nobody had quadruple double in history of nba! Wilt had once double triple double and that is not the same thing

[bkruse92]

you are retarted. i know what a triple double is retard your mistaken. Nate Turmond has a a quadruple double before and so has wilt do you know anything about basketball?

[TxJamesxT]

I'm a Nets fan, and this game wasn't fun to watch at all, but that really was a good game. I was in 4th grade at the time lol. GJ Duncan.

[crazy1thing1yaoming]

He actually finished with 20 reb the guy in the video says 18 because the game wasnt over

[jspurs22]

I wonder y ppl hate the spurs win they winning... i know they dont show off but i bet alot of NBA players would play for them if they wanted championships.....

[nuddin90]

That was prabably Duncan's best perfomence. Because he did it at the big game. Duncan!!!

[breezeofnoon]

all hail TD..

[Kobeownzu81]

unbelievable. definatly one of the best periods in the nba that 2000-2003 period. alot of the players from the 90s were veterans, while the stars of today were younger, but still fantastic

[NBaBall3r26]

Timmy...
