SAN ANTONIO — Former San Antonio Spurs player Mario Elie helped the team reach its first NBA title in 1999 with his toughness, shooting, and veteran leadership.
He also participated in the biggest shot in franchise history: Sean Elliott's "Memorial Day Miracle" against Portland.
While many will remember Elliott for making the clutch shot, Elie inbounded the ball, allowing Sean to etch his name in the history books.
However, did you know just how precise the entire play had to be for Elliott to make the game-winning shot?
Elie joined the "Sweep The League" show to discuss everything, including his thoughts on playing for Gregg Popovich and much more.
