The Spurs swept the Lakers in 1999. Tim Duncan missed the playoffs with injury in 2000, or they might have repeated as champs. In 2003 the Spurs beat the Lakers 4-2. In 2004, Tim Duncan dominated the series, and Derek Fisher's shot with 0.4 should not have counted. I still do not accept that loss. In 2008, the Lakers were given Pau Gasol by Memphis, which fucked up the western conference. You don't just give away a player like that. Without Gasol, LA would be mediocre at best.

the Spurs are coming back next year. Talk all the shit you want for now.

Really would love to see Duncan bring home another ring before he hangs it up for good.

LOL @ArcadianGenesis. How many 'ifs' and 'buts' can you throw into one stupid argument? The Lakers won 67 games in 2000. Even if Duncan was healthy how can you automatically claim a championship on a 'might have' supposition? Derek Fisher's 04 shot good with 0.1 of a second remaining on the clock. Youtube it right now and see. The Gasol trade was perfectly legitimate. Oh, and the Lakers ripped the Spurs 4-0 in the 2001 WCF and 4-1 in the 2002 WCSF. You must be mentally retarded, seriously dude.

This happened 12 years ago and it still gives me the chills. Amazing shot by an amazing person. Thank you Sean.

@cbaldwinjr I just watched it right now, and the clock started late. Yeah he got it off in time, but it's dumb that everyone focuses on that and yet forgets about the start of the clock, which is just as important.

@ArcadianGenesis

BULLSHIT. I've watched that highlight over 100 times. It starts on his touch. He got it off in time and NO ONE disputes that. And Duncan didn't miss any of the regular season games against the Lakers. That's what I was speaking on. Yeah, you guys were screwed against Phoenix, but again, that team wasn't beating a motivated Laker team. You weren't talented enough.

[ArcadianGenesis]

@cbaldwinjr No, Duncan missed all of the 2000 playoffs due to a torn tendon in his knee. I admit that the Fisher comment deserves more explanation. Here it is: The clock did not start in time. The clock operator clearly started it too late, so yes, Fisher got the shot off in time RELATIVE to when it started - but it started at the wrong time. So in reality, that shot should not have counted. The 99 Spurs were dominant and would've won regardless of the # of games.

@ArcadianGenesis

Sure doesn't look like Pau was given away now. Gasol-lite is helping knock the Spurms out of the playoffs this year. The Lakers beat the Spurms I believe 3 out of 4 in 2000 WITH Duncan...that was LA's year. You wouldn't have beat LA. 2001 and 2002 showed that. And how in the blue hell do you figure that shot shouldn't have counted? Fish got it off in time...IN YOUR BUILDING! Try again jackass. If anything, that '99 title has an asterisk
