those would've been tough 6 or 7 game series. the spurs weren't champs yet and miami had a good team and the pacers made the finals the next year
Who's stopping the GOAT in his prime? Spurs beat better teams in the West to get to the Finals. Pacers or Heat both would've gotten washed

As a basketball fan, that lockout Knicks squad is one of my favorite teams ever.

They really needed Ewing in the Finals. Duncan and Robinson just manhandled Camby and Kurt Thomas.

That Knicks/Heat rivalry was so much fun to watch :jamesbrownwowww:

still wild how the Knicks won that series man


Also, in the YoTube link for Game 5, in the intro, they got Mario Elie calling the Spurs soft when he joined and the Spurs started the lockout season at 6-8

tim was in his 3rd year, he wasn't in his prime yet. The west in 99 was ass keep it real n trill. the rockets were washed, the lakers 2 young and the blazers were led by weedhead jr rider.

Tim was in his 2nd season in 1998-1999 lockout shortened season.
