i don't know much about basketball, especially NBA so i might be completely wrong in this, but the unselfishness is why i prefer college basketball over NBA. it looks like there are more system teams and a bigger focus on culture than superstar power and having all the tallest guys. take michigan this year for example. watching them go through march madness without isaiah livers was beautiful because they had to become even more efficient as a team to beat teams like LSU who had those superstar 3 shooters.

Tim Duncan making defenses make mistakes is incredibly satisfying to watch. Everyone collapses on him in the middle because he is virtually unstoppable as a post scorer one on one. Watching him just immediately dish it to the corners or wings when he feels the defense playing help side defense is just incredible. As a basketball purist, he might be the most fundamental player of all time.

Tim Duncan is really the key of their offense

Thats why they dominated the league for so long long and they are a solid proof that you don't need a superteam to win rings

The Spurs single-handedly brought back the old-era style of basketball from the 50's-80's. The 90's - late 2000's was the ISO-Ball era. All about giving the ball to your best player and letting them go 1-on-1 to create something or off the PnR to try and attack. Popovich brought back the PnR-Motion Offense that involves moving the ball at a high rate to create space and have the defenders trying to catch up to the ball at all times, as well as create mismatches off of switches and then trying to exploit that mismatch. It's a copy-cat league and other teams have started doing it as well over the pas 4 or 5 years. Notice how the Hawks and Warriors both have started running the same offense, and they're both coached by disciples of Popovich? It's good to see. Much better and more effective than ISO-ball.

Kobe would often operate outside of it, but LA's triangle and double post offenses were fucking gorgeous too. It infuriates me when people call it boring basketball because there's not a lot of dunks and flashy dribbling.

Tiago was such an underated inside passer. \

people really think this is boring, but this is the real meaning of basketball

This is literally so beautiful to watch

they run a basic high school play most of the time, but no one challenges the passing lane knowing the fundamentals are so strong that backdoor will be open all day just pass and screen

The only reason you think that Is because it was the greatest possession ever

Im convinced that Parker in his prime is generally underrated because he was playing with Duncan.

00:36 I still can't belive how quick those guys thought the game. Those touch passes straight in the perfect spot to take the shot are just beautiful.

love the way Parker, Ginobili, Duncan and Diaw play together

its crazy how anyone could ever call Spurs basketball boring. As soon as I saw the Spurs play the first time and saw their ball movement, I was hooked. In fact, what I find boring is the one on one ISO plays that used to be rampant in the NBA. It wasn't until the Spurs completely dominated the heat in that finals that other teams started saying "hmm, maybe there is something to that team ball after all".

Seeing the Spurs bulldoze over the Heat with such beautiful ball movement on their way to the champion was quite a moment to behold. It was the perfect revenge for San Antonio. Watching this video surely brings a lot of great memories.

This was the very first time for me... Never seen such a beautiful passing game of basketball before... Loved this team!!

So beautiful to watch this brand of basketball. Teammates working together and helping eachother and everyone touching the ball. Not a single player is "carrying" the offense. This is real basketball

made me happy again

Such a well rounded team on both ends, Timmy still being impactful, Manu & TP brilliance off the dribble, young Kawhi & Danny green doing demage on the wings, Boris Diaw & Patty Mills finessing on the court, just beautiful, unselfish, all time great level basketball

Thanks for uploading. That was a trip down memory lane, absolutely beautiful to watch/ I graduated high school in the Summer of 2014 and the Spurs winning that Summer made it that much better!

Evin, I know I can speak for a lot of Spurs fans that we appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos. Thanks!!

spurs got that passing that'll make you want to stop running before you get dizzy.

This is basketball right here. You wanna see crazy dunks and flashy finishes go watch Kobe or Lebron Highlights. This is basketball. 🏀

Tim Duncan's court vision & passing are really underrated, he always finds the open guy & hits em right at the pocket.

Appreciate you Evin. This is a great help to coaches.

Had to watch this after watching that ball movement by phoenix in game 2.

It's like they don't operate like 5 people on the court. They operate as a single unit. They got 4 passes on a fast break. 4. A fast break is when athletic players try to get a hero moment and they got 4 passes. wow.

Why can't my 2k team pass like this...

Timmy is really one of the greatest. Always in Spurs actions even tho with just a block. Fundamental always.

that is how basketball is supposed to be played fr fr

You know for all of that amazing ball movement they had in 14' finals the Heat still defended it pretty damn well. They were literally just hitting all of their contested shots

This is so beautiful. Miss that team

The Spurs will never be the same without Duncan. He was such a good finisher. He was the heart and soul of that team.

This was "warriors basketball" before the GSWs. In fact this is kinda what basketball became in the US. I remember watching so much basketball until around 2018. Been watching less and less every year since about then

This is pure genius from Pop. The Spurs superstars were ageing yet where smart enough to adapt and beat younger and more athletic teams like the Thunder. I didn't think they could beat KD and Russ in their youth.

Pure poetry in motion❤

i just watched this after a few years and its scary. so many teams flow like this at moments, i see teams today play like this all the time

Love watching this💯💯💯

It’s honestly sad seeing this now with my generation of hoopers who can’t get to the ball to Wembanyama who looks like he deadass could be a 7’3 Durant-esque type of player

One of the greatest teams ever! Everyone played well and played together as a team! Coach Popovich and Tim Duncan lead the way! 5x nba champ!! 🏆

That’s how basketball has to be played

damn I watch this because I miss the spurs, the true model of a basketball team, unselfish play, teamwork, no hero ball.

Some people might say some of these aren't open looks but the ball movement builds up momentum for the spot of shooters

The continuous motion of players, the ball swing, the slashes, unselfish from good to great offense. That’s Spurs trademark that have been replicated by many teams. The Beautiful game.

Beautiful

Teamwork like I've never seen. Go Spurs!!

I miss watching this kind of basketball

Imagine if Golden state had this type of unselfish basketball with the splash brothers. Combining the legendary offense of the Spurs with the absolute top tier shooting ability of Steph and Klay. Those final playoff games Golden State this year had much selfish basketball.

Love it when they just trade baskets in the first half and blow the game open usually in the 3rd quarter and just manage the lead in the 4th, choking defense and clutch baskets.

i kinda miss Tiago and Diaw, but I'm glad we got Lee and Dedmon, this 2 bigmen is showing us that we made the right decision in getting them, hopefully they'll fully embrace the system. Imagine a more athletic Tiago and Diaw. like if you agree.

Beautiful basketball!

With TD and Robinson was post game and mid range game When TD was in his prime was post and kick (if they pack the paint or double /triple team) then the miles start to catch and manu and Parker took more responsabilities and begin drive and kick and more pick and rolls and pops but with TD still as a post creator but not as much Then manu and TD start slowing and pop decides to give the key to Tony after the euro and become the pick and roll with multiple kicks and screens and off ball actions like europlay And now kawhi iso and aldrige post kick With lil off ball movement and picks
