San Antonio was one rebound away from winning a championship the previous season. To come this painfully close and lose then follow it up with a complete annihilation of this artificial super team was one of the great redemption stories ever in sports

Never forget Ginobili's dunk on Bosh

R.I.P. bandwagon Heat fans 2010-2014

I love how the Spurs basically left nothing to chance in this series after the previous Finals and just absolutely crushed and humiliated Miami to send the clear message that the Heat's 2013 win was a total fluke

Ginobli's dunk has to be one of the most exciting in finals history. It may not be the most energetic or flashiest, but definitely a huge statement after people claimed this guy is too old to compete anymore.

Man, you gotta give a lot of credits to Patty Mills, that guy tore them apart with 3s.

Both of Duncans kids are straight up crying at the end there, i think they understand how hard last finals was and just so happy for their dad. So heartwarming

I always watch this to make me feel better.

"Out to Ginobili. PUTS IT IN! WHAT AN AVALANCHE FROM SAN ANTONIO! A 21 POINT LEAD!"

Back for my weekly viewing

shit,watch duncan holding his children make me cry a little.

Probably the cleanest game called, officially, you could NOT deny the spurs, with there fundamentals and discipline. They were the definition of a team, its insane. I MISS watching these guys play sooo much.

the heat didn't lose. they got shut down.. demolished... the ball movement, the shooting was on the spurs, and the heat looked like a rec league team.

The whole Spurs team is so underrated... These guys deserve the win. The make Basketball look so much more better. Some of these guys nowadays especially the kids coming up to the NBA think that Basketball is all about me. I wanna be the guy who hits the game winner. I wanna be the guy who scores the most points in my whole team. The spurs aren't like that. They pride themselves in playing PROPER basketball. Which means playing it like a TEAM GAME. No one in that team is selfish. Parker can get a little bit selfish from time to time, but never in these situations. This is true Basketball. Who do the Spurs really have apart from an old Duncan, an old Manu and an aging Parker. Pop made this team so much better. Leonard has potential to be the MVP of the league. The loyalty of these guys and what not there is sooo much to say about these guys and yet people say there boring smh :/ They are not boring. This is true basketball. That is how it should be played.

Goodbye Timmy D Best Pf of All time

This team just didn't miss in the finals. Some of the best basketball I've ever seen. Would love 2014 Spurs vs 2017 Warriors

San Antonio Spurs have been the best team for the past 17 years

As a Spurs fan, I don't know if I have or ever will have a more cherishable memory than this game. I keep coming back to it when I feel down and it NEVER ceases to make me emotional (in a good way).

The Spurs missing a few free throws was the only reason this series wasn't a sweep.

Basically half of this Heat team retired after the game.

ive watched this about 100 times at least

Made my sports year.

The Spurs were so pissed. For leaving that Chip on the table, The year before that they literally took all that frustration out on Miami...This was not even a serious competition!!

The crowd was reacting like it was a public execution.

I can't help but love watching them play. They play such great team basketball and perfect fundamentals. People who say the Spurs are boring know nothing about basketball except slam dunks. The most entertaining team in the league.

Tim Duncan is a freaking Legend.

The 2014 Spurs will go down as one the greatest in NBA history because of how they revolutionized the game (three point shooting, ball sharing). You see it a lot in today's game especially any Golden State Warriors games.

legend has it Mills still scoring threes til this day

I'm a Laker fan but this gave me chills. 37-42. To 44-65 in the blink of an eye. I don't think I've ever seen a better team oriented game nor run better than this game. They ALL were on fire, they ALL had this ENERGY that had these Spurs fans going CRAZY. What a game, Coach Pop is a legend.

Manu is the real FMVP! Game-turning player!

Hey Warriors, this is how you close the 3-1 series lead!

I would say greatest Spurs team ever. Put them up against any team.

Leonard for three....BANG!!!!!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Miami Heat's roster on paper, the actual problem is how they played. Wade was not himself, also Heat's crucial role players in the past 2 finals like Chalmers or Battier were nowhere near as good. But one thing is certain.. Spurs crushed, absolutely destroyed Miami in this series.

i remember watching this game and thinking to myself, it makes no damn sense to be this good. like they had all the sliders up.

And this was the birth of the current NBA playing style...the league changed overnight before and after this series. The spurs showed the way of the future, how to stop a dominant player and team with college-style team play, 3-pt shooting and solid defense. This IS the blueprint, and they're already redefining the next evolution of basketball..

That 3rd quarter was sickk... like 5 straight 3s..lol

Watching Lebron James lose in the finals-An American tradition like no other.

still gives me goosebumps. I miss my spurs.

This is literally a prime Heat team full of superstsrs being defeated by an aged starting lineup with only Kawhi a 3rd yr man as a youngster. Damn this is so satisfying to watch domination at its finest!!! Not 1, not 2 , not 3!!! Never forget lolllll

2013 was a fluke. Spurs should've won by Pops error not leaving Duncan in the grab a series clinching rebound. The 2014 Spurs are way better than the 2013 Heat.

What a memorable day for all true NBA fans out there. The day a bull shit team lost in the Finals and baby Bron Bron ran home to daddy Gilbert. A day in the NBA where you could finally play legit defense and not be called for a foul on it, oh what a glorious time it is to be an NBA fan.

this finals was way better then this years warriors vs cleveland

Omg 2022 still watching

The Spurs demonstrated a basketball team any coach would wish for. Ball movement, consistent high percentage, and fast paced movement with incredible defense. This is the team working together and is possible but rare to see these days from many teams in any sport.

The way the Spurs move the ball is poetry

Not even a spurs fan, but I have to say, Tim Duncan is a legend, halving his salary to help his team out!

The game that sent Lebron packing

The Spurs aren't even my team, but this 2013-2014 Spurs team is one of my favorite NBA title teams of my lifetime. Top 10 if not top 5 greatest championship team in NBA history. I would put this team up against any all-time great team of ANY era.

james looked like he was gonna kill the spurs in the beginning but they didnt buy the hype and kept playing their game. the warriors had the same chance in game 5 but bricked open shots and let kyrie get going. dray suspension didnt help.

Thats why the Spurs Big 3 is the Best BIG 3 in NBA history PERIOD. Not because of skills and offensive ability but because of Consistency and Loyalty.

Man, I fuckin love the Spurs team players and organization.

the spurs have reached the limits of what we can call fundamental basketball game

Been a Spurs fan since 1997, so I've had the opportunity to watch all 5 of their championships. I have to say that this one was by far the most satisfying of the 5.

This video is a huge part of my life

Ginobili's dunk on Bosh has to be one of the greatest finals dunks of all time

Best parts of this game: (5) Wade got his shit swatted back (5:48) (4) Bosh got posterized by Ginobli (4:39) (3) The Heat got DEMOLISHED (for the 3rd straight game). (2) The squad that played *team* ball won the game & series, to the satisfaction of real basketball fans everywhere. (1) The "LeBron will surpass Jordan" movement is officially dead. 2-3 Finals record, getting outscored by a *bench player* for the whole 2011 Finals (e.g. Jason Terry), and now a 22 year-old, non-AllStar Leonard wins Finals MVP against him? It's OVER, kids. MJ > LBJ. Deal with it. P.S. Whatever happened to "LeBron can guard ANY position"?... After Pop told Leonard to just go for it, Kawhi avg'd 23.6ppg on *68.4%* FG in the last 3 straight games... where was LBJ's "great" defense? LMAO!

Duncan hugging his kids is the most heart warming thing I've ever seen. I'll never forget this glorious moment. #SanAntonio2014

2014 Spurs>2016 Cavs and Warriors

Back here post-Wemby lottery

Congrats Spurs! You deserve the LOB trophy coming from a die hard LAKER FAN. On a side note: that moment from 9:47 and on with Timmy and his kids really got to me. You can see Timmy's passion and love for his kids. Great moment in sports history truth be known. Love for your kids supersedes ALL.

Timmy and Manu puttin tears in my eyes at the end. Amazing unforgettable performance by all Spurs. Thanks Guys!

The last scene with Timmy and his kids always gets me emotional. Damn

Ginobili lowkey killed Bosh's career @ 4:44

i absolutely love Boris Diaw's reaction he has to assists that he makes. Look at the three Patty Mills makes at 6:07. Boris is the kind of player that is completely unselfish. Once he realizes that Patty has an open shot and drains it, he is just as happy as if he would have made that shot himself. Complete teamwork, it really is awesome to see

The best REVENGE story, like a Phoenix reborn from ashes.

Mills & Ginobilli turned 2nd half-3rd Quarter into a 3 point shootout 🏀🏀🏀💥🔫

Western conf finals is way more competitive than this, this is a basketball clinic

Real Finals right here! #SpursNation 🏆🏀

Probably the greatest game I’ve seen any team played, the Spurs just had near perfect rhythm for most of this game

Ginobili dunked to send a message to the Heat."Yeah, it's personal for us. We're ending it tonight."

the music at the start got me hyped back then.

This Spurs team would annihilate the Warriors.

The Spurs this series played the closest thing to perfect basketball

I miss this Spurs team 😭😭😭

Complete, epic, and historical BEATDOWN and I enjoyed every second of it

People don't give Tim Duncan and the Spurs enough credit. They ended the Lakers 3-peat and stopped the Heat who won 2 in a row. They have beaten some of the best teams in NBA history. They probably could have beat the 90's Bulls if they played in the same era.

Subscribe for more highlights throughout the 2014-2015 season!

One of the most memorable games. It was just a massive party. Nonstop 3s from all players. Everyone laughing and smiling as they dominate the heat. Felt like they won the series already and this was a celebration game.

This wasn't a final. It was a slaughter

I still cry every time I see this. The passion of the game, the players, the crowd. the spurs destroyed the heat but they did it with class. *sniff* *sniff* What a beautiful display of the game.

Just to see the emotion on Tim duncan an his kids face wow, they knew how much that 5th ring meant to him

Crazy the heat shot 47% FG, 40% 3pt, and 74% FT yet lost 1-4.

There is "NO G.O.A.T" only #23 in red and then everybody else!

I love how the daughter of Tim Duncan just teared as she lies her face into Duncan's neck. Tears of joy. No smiles from the kids, just tears.

Big Laker fan, that was one of the most amazing games and comeback I ever saw, much respect to Tim Duncan.

Kawhi has one of the most underrated legacies of all time, at 22 he goes up against prime Lebron while being considered a “role player” and quite frankly showed him up, and got fmvp for it and sent Bron back to Cleveland then he gets a couple Dpoy trophies back to back after this finals, then gets sent to Toronto in which everyone considered it when it happened as a “your screwed” type of trade and has one of the best playoff runs ever and wins another ring and fmvp at 27

The 2014 Spurs, the Ultimate revenge squad! Great fathers day win too!

These 2014 Spurs are pretty much the best team of all time, in that they do so many things to perfection. -They pass at least as good as Magic's Lakers, and systematically pick teams apart in the half court. -They run and gun at least as good as Nash's Suns, PGs, SGs, SF and hell even PF can lead breaks for the Spurs. plus, who would've ever imagined Pop integrating transition 3's as a permanent offensive strategy and it working GOOD. -Their D is top tier, and they can REBOUND (finally!) -2/3 of the roster is stellar 3 point shooters! Parker, Ginobili, Diaw, Leonard, Green, Mills, Belinelli, Bonner, none of these guys you can give daylight past the arc (or anywhere for that matter). -all of this combined with the murderous post up play of Duncan and Diaw? you have to guard them one on one because there are minimum of 3 deadly shooters on the court at all time, and nobody in the league consistently can. The Spurs will pass, pick and roll, and get the mismatches they want and go right at it.

Mills for 3 BANG!

June 24, 2023 here.❤️❤️❤️ I still watching here

We are never gonna have a spurs trio that was this good ever again. These guys were literally unstoppable

Next time somebody says LeBron James is the greatest basketball player ever show them this video

this game is still lit asf

10 years later and still legendary, these starting lineups were so insane

Lucky ass LeBron should be 0-3 against the Spurs.

Let’s be honest this spurs would have beaten in the current Warriors

The heat were lucky in 2013. Spurs got their deserved championship even a year later. Should have been back to back

I'm a 90s NBA guy, growing up in Chicago during the height of Jordan and the Bulls era. This Spurs team would be the hardest out in a hypothetical matchup with any of the Bulls team. 2014 Spurs were just a perfect and yet scariest fundamentally sound team since mid 2000s.

The only team that mishandled LBJ and his team, TWICE in the Finals.
