San Antonio Spurs: The Drive for Five

This is a video I put together by collecting various clips (through nba.com and youtube) once Spurs made it to the finals this year (2013). The video begins with showing a quick recap of the first 4 San Antonio finals. It then shows the highlights of the entire Spurs run from 2007-2008 season till the conclusion of the 2013 finals.

After the Spurs lost, I initially decided to forget about the video. However, I think it still shows a great historic run by an amazing franchise. So those who are extreme Spurs fans and have 2 hours to spare, sit back and admire these guys.

24. Credits & Quotes

Quotes:

"But regret is a wasted emotion. I had my turn. I just didn't complete it."
George Gervin (AKA Iceman)

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it -- but all that had gone before."
Jacob Riis (This quote is in the Spurs locker room)

"The most important thing is to keep fighting, no matter how much you're down or how close the game is, or how much you're struggling. Might take the 100th or 1,000th strike. It might strike early. But sometimes it takes longer. You just keep pounding that rock."
Danny Green

"Here is what is going on in Miami. The members of the Heat are in the middle of a raging party at Pat Rileys bond villian like island off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. LeBron James is dancing, Dwayne Wade is calling himself 3, Chris Bosh is eating chalupas, and Mario is really drunk and talking about how the championship is nice and everything but he still really needs to save the princess. The whole team has a good time and they eventually pass out. LeBron goes to sleep thinking that dreamland will be filled with rainbows, and lollipops, and bicycles. However these wonderful things never arrive. Instead he is on a basketball court with the logo 2014 NBA finals beneath his feet. It is time for the opening tip-off of game one. Across from him is Tim Duncan mouthing the word "rematch"."

Some Notes:

1. I failed to include the Spurs vs. Hornets series of 2008

2. The 2008 Spurs vs Lakers series is purely Lakers based.. couldn't find footage of the Spurs. Sorry about that. The rest of the series show both sides more or less.

3. This is my first ever video I put together so don't be too harsh

4. All content from this video does not belong to me and is owned solely by the NBA.

5. Thank you to all who provided the clips I used through YouTube :)

6. I doubt many people will watch this completely... other thanks legit fans with too much time.

7. Win or lose, Spurs fan for life!
