Former Spurs Player Delivers Definitive Verdict on 2013 NBA Finals Loss
Former Spurs Player Delivers Definitive Verdict on 2013 NBA Finals Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Antonio Spurs lost to the Miami Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals in one of the most heartbreaking moments in franchise history, highlighted by Ray Allen's legendary game-winning 3-pointer in Game 6. Advertisement The Spurs would go on to lose in Game 7, although it set the stage for their bounce-back year in 2014, where they beat Miami in devastating fashion. During Allen's final shot in Game 6, the Spurs opted to have an unusual lineup on the floor to defend the 3-ball, and it worked against the Heat's first attempt. Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, and Boris Diaw were all on the floor, with rebounders Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter sitting on the bench in order to make contesting a shot easier. James missed a 3-pointer over Diaw and Parker, although the Spurs were unable to secure the rebound. Advertisement Stephen Jackson thinks that if he had been on the court, things would have gone differently. "I would have got the f------ rebound," Jackson said to Green on his podcast. "Ray damn sure wouldn't have got it. I mean, he wouldn't have got the shot off or none of that. He wouldn't have been involved because, you know, I take that s--- personally." Jackson was waived by the Spurs before the postseason to make room to sign Tracy McGrady. While Jackson was not a star for the Spurs that season, averaging 6.2 points and 2.8 rebounds, McGrady failed to score a single point for the Spurs in 32 minutes of postseason play. Jackson, since retiring, has long been critical of the Spurs, Parker, and Gregg Popovich. However, he won his only NBA title with the Spurs. Advertisement While it's true that he would have been an upgrade over McGrady in the series, Popovich would have been more likely to play Splitter or Duncan in the final seconds than Jackson. At the time, Ginobili, Green, and Leonard were all better perimeter defenders than he was, and if the Spurs wanted size on the court, his name would not have been the one called.

Fact Check: Checking Trump's claim CBS removed online evidence of his interview with Stephen Colbert
Claim: CBS deleted a 2015 episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" featuring an interview with U.S. President Donald Trump from its website; the network has also not made certain clips from the episode available on YouTube. Rating: What's True: The episode in question is not available on CBS' own website — as of this writing (only the latest season of the show, from 2025, is available). Also, some specific exchanges in the interview aren't on YouTube. What's False: However, multiple segments of the 2015 interview between Colbert and Trump are available on CBS' YouTube page. On May 30, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump shared a clip of his 2015 appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and implied that CBS deliberately hid the episode from online viewers. "You are not supposed to see this video," alleged the post on Truth Social, the president's social media platform. "CBS DELETED this entire episode from their official website. You will not find these segments on YouTube either." (Truth Social user @realDonaldTrump) Apparent supporters of the president reposted his claim with video on X (archived) and Facebook. However, Trump's claim about CBS is misleading. It is true that the 2015 episode featuring Trump's appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is not on CBS' official website — but that is likely because the network's website only has recent episodes available. Furthermore, CBS posted segments from Trump's interview on YouTube, and those clips remain online as of this writing. Thus, we rate this claim a mixture of truth and falsehood. The landing page for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on CBS' website is here; at the time of publication, it only shows episodes from Season 10. The earliest episode available as of this writing is from May 5, 2025. The clip Trump posted is from a Sept. 22, 2015, appearance on the show; as such, it is a much older episode than the ones available on CBS' official website. On Sept. 23, 2015, the verified "Late Show" YouTube account posted this approximately four-minute clip from the interview with Trump: The YouTube video has over 17 million views as of this writing. One of the exchanges featured in the clip Trump posted — the audience cheering after Trump says, "we're going to build a wall" at 0:52 — is included in the segment posted on YouTube. (The "Late Show" YouTube account also published another video of Trump's 2015 appearance; that clip has over 2 million views.) The rest of the exchanges featured in Trump's video are not included in the "Late Show" YouTube clips but are available to view on the Internet Archive. An unaffiliated YouTube user also uploaded the interview, including some of the exchanges Trump featured in his post, demonstrating that people can, in fact, find multiple segments of the 2015 "Late Show" interview with Trump available on YouTube. The video Trump shared also appeared to frame the interview as more complimentary of the president. For example, in one moment, host Stephen Colbert said: "I want to thank you for running for president, because I'm not going to say this stuff writes itself, but you certainly do deliver it on time every day." However, the video Trump posted cuts off before Colbert reaches the punchline — "you certainly do deliver it on time every day" — making the bit sound less like a joke and more like straightforward praise. This is not the first time Trump has falsely claimed that CBS tried to suppress his 2015 "Late Show" interview. News outlets reported in 2018 that Trump reposted a video of the interview on X, then known as Twitter, with either the same or similar messaging and editing as his 2025 Truth Social post. The 2018 clip Trump reposted is no longer available on the original X page because the account got suspended, but Colbert responded in an Oct. 18, 2018 post on the same platform and linked to the same YouTube videos as above: At the time, The Associated Press reported that a spokeswoman for CBS said full episodes of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" are only available to stream online 30 days after the initial airing. That statement appears to align with the timeline of which episodes are available online as of this writing. We reached out to CBS to confirm that this timeline is still in place and will update this story if they respond. Bowden, John. "Trump Shares Tweet Claiming CBS Suppressed His Appearance on Colbert."
