Episode 40 - "Manu" | The Ring of the Rowel San Antonio Spurs Docuseries

[@johnnytsunami4713]

My favorite Spur of all time. Def had a killer mentality

[@Isuckatvideogames210]

Not just my favorite spur but my favorite player ever. Manu is the player that made me fall in love with the game

[@chrishooge3442]

Gino ain't done.

[@enidrobertson4858]

Most players are trying to win the game. Manu was trying to win each possession. A killer.

[@Chandasouk]

That dunk on the last living dinosaur, Chris Bosh, was legendary

[@onyxblack1167]

😂😂

[@linuxblacksarena]

more like the first act of basketball violence on an extraterrestrial species, i.e. a Na'vi

[@nanox4]

Lmao

[@Eskimohow]

I was at his retirement ceremony, and to see the number of fans from Argentina that travelled to San Antonio to be there was amazing.

[@pjhoops8637]

The best sixth man of all time!!! Love you Manu!! ❤ 💯

[@gotm210]

And could have started on any team in the NBA 💯

[@chukwunonyeanyakoha8573]

Best Episode so far. Manu brought another dimension to the Spurs game. I feel he should have been Finals mvp in 2005

[@djKianoosh]

100% deserved to be mvp that finals. he closed pit the series too!

[@nicolaspietrangelo5573]

I'm surprised they got Chris Bosh to talk about that play. Pretty cool from him to do that for the Spurs.

[@silewis9396]

Bosh is simply a very cool guy.

[@gremlinmachineshop]

Will never forget watching his career high 48-point game vs PHX capped by the two-hand dunk in OT. Unreal performance.

[@chadwendt8702]

I remember watching that, too. My girlfriend and I had stopped at her parents' house for what was supposed to be a quick stop, and her step-dad had the game on, it was like halfway through the first quarter. Ended up staying for the whole game.

[@clarity_supp]

almost cried like 3 times lmao i miss watching manu play basketball it was like art. what an inspiration and role model.

[@chrishooge3442]

I cried

[@SunshineCarpetCleaning]

Me too. I cried like an asshole.

[@michelbaylon7157]

Once Pop retires, I would love Manu to take the reigns. He's savvy with Spurs basketball and has that engine in him that ignites the entire team. A total embodiment of the Spurs way.

[@zergbong]

Manu is the reason I am a Spurs fan. Growing up in the 90s in Europe I was a Jordan hater, so I was rooting for every team that had some chance against the fucking bulls. Once I saw Manu I knew that's my guy forever based on love not hate.

[@chadwendt8702]

I remember seeing a poster around the 2005 finals of Manu roaring, wearing a jedi robe with a lighrsaber titled "Obi-Wan Ginobli" fricken awesome.

[@charlieangel9705]

No shit! I became a fan of Manu when I saw him on the front page of a newspaper when they won the championship in 2005. He is my ultimate favorite basketball player ever.

[@Bandana_Boi]

This video alone is doing 5x the views the rest of this series is getting. Manu is the man

[@MarcoYoutube]

Pop: “He was somebody that I needed to back off of, just let him play. He had to be… Manu” That’s our Manu!

[@gotm210]

Best play ever was the block on Harden to win the game and the the dunk on Ray Allen in the finals 🎯

[@Drygun01]

The inbound back to Horry And the flip back to Duncan for 3 in Shaqs face. His Game against USA was unbelievable... He had a Jordan series game winner in the first round!

[@gotm210]

💯

[@daviddelgado2790]

hes the reason I became a Spurs fan! Love you Manu!

[@Airbender19]

When Manu said he and his family were Texans that made my heart swell. That man has deep love for his country and he's proven that his heart is big enough for Argentina and the Spurs with how much he laid it out on the court each game. As a native San Antonian, I'm genuinely happy my favorite NBA player found a second home he loves.

[@DensDaPens]

Manu not being in the top 75 Greatest of All Time is CRIMINAL!!! He should be there before Lilard, AD, Melo!!

[@winstonmontag8824]

Agreed

[@marcelo09ful]

Manu is a top 50

[@chuckokelley2448]

Mano Was a F****** warrior Couldn't get enough of watching him play

[@mondrometal]

Still underrated, he was a-ma-zing in his prime. Winning everything on everywhere he played, and on top of that a great person. A complete package

[@Manufan-og1xg]

My favorite player of all time (as if my username didn't give it away). Absolutely fearless competitor that fought like hell on both ends every single play. If you take his overall accomplishments into consideration, he's one of the most winningest players of all time.

[@xihuantiyu]

I started watching Spurs game in 2002. Manu was a bench player. Almost instantly, I noticed his existence. His play is so different. He is so creative.

[@darthzen]

They left out the craziest part of the ruptured testicle story. The game that he came back after something like 28 days out, he immediately stepped in front of Kevin Love and took a charge. Unbelievable.

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

A free spirit on the court, pure joy to watch.

[@caseyrayharris.esquire489]

Best sports docu-series since the last!! Amazing!! You guys really need to promote this!!!

[@eaglemikeeaglemike6774]

Everyone remembers the Finals in 2014, right? Manu changed the game in the Spurs' favor so many times. In game 5 especially the Spurs were struggling until he game in and changed things. If you can, go look at the replay. In one series he took a charge, hit a 3 ball, had THE DUNK (I think it was part of that series) - he completely changed the game. Miami was up, and then came Manu. That wasn't the only game he did that series either. I know Kawhi had a great series, but I really thought there should have been co-MVPs of Manu and Boris. I loved the way Manu played all out. He always always always gave 110 percent. I wanted to go to one of the games his last year, but cancer got in the way. At least I have saved some of the games from that year and others so I can still watch. He was still more than good enough to play when he retired. If I was choosing an NBA team from anyone of the former players, Manu would be on the team. He was an all-time team player.

[@patfer1189]

Manu was the epitome of an x-factor: you didn't know what you were going to get because he could be having a bad shooting night and still make the right pass or defensive play to win the game, or all of a sudden score in ways you didn't know were possible. And that was the thing with him as well: he was never flashy or attempting to be flashy for the sake of the cameras or a sport's show replay for the next day or so. Even in his wildest, craziest attempts at a pass or shot, regardless of whether he accomplish them or not, you could see there was an actual thought process behind it. It wasn't a random intention but a calculated attempt to disrupt the opposition and/or win the game.

[@leopoldosouilhe3922]

We love you Manu. Te amamos. Desde Argentina, con amor.

[@Tremonti1114]

Manu Forever

[@noahperez5074]

"Grandpa Juice" will always be my favorite nickname for him

[@kylemonsterdrywallfistbump5948]

Loved that clip with manu and oberto together they won both a gold medal and nba finals together that's quite an accomplishment

[@JasonSmith-pe5py]

As a Denver fan I hated this dude for so long. But grew to appreciate his will to win,effort,& just how damn good he was-but also how much he cared,& what a winner he was. We all know that should be common in pro sports-but isnt always.His last few yrs,I actually came full circle,& kinda pulled for the Spurs-since my Nugs never really had a legit shot back then,except 2009. But I was upset for the Spurs when they flat blew that Finals vs Miami. But thrilled when they made it right the next yr. That was 1 of the most underrated Championship teams Ive seen,& actually kinda had a lot in common with the Nuggets 1st title team-just a few weeks ago. If we can have even a fraction of the success of the Spurs-thatd be amazing. Though Im certainly not predicting 5 rings,6 Finals,& 9 WCF-pretty damn amazing run for a "small market."

[@17Jnico]

the best manu play of all time is the last point against Serbia at the 2004 olympics. Absolutely incredible. Definitely a chosen one. One of the sportsmen that makes me proud being argenitnian. Gracias Manu!!!

[@Grandilof]

I am from Serbia, that was like yesterday man. Still my favourite player, many, many sleepless nights because of Manu and Spurs, good times :)

[@edwells4769]

This docuseries is fantastic.

[@msem86]

He understood the game better than anyone. Always pushing forward with intelligence and making a team game. Made a legacy in NBA.

[@maricarvideos1807]

GIIIIIINNNNNNOOOOOBBBBIIILLLIIIII!!!!!

[@chuchurasai4623]

Spurs really a winner organization with coach bud, coach kerr, sam pristi on the different team now and still winning is just crazy..

[@QiuyuanChenRyan916]

That three players stay their whole career in this team in NBA. That is some level of contribution.

[@kevinlemelle5402]

Manu had the killer instinct and my favorite Spur. Not forgetting Duncan and Parker, they are in the Hall of Fame.

[@ernieestrada193]

The big3

[@maximilianosabino4962]

It's impossible not to love you, Manu; you are so great!

[@ekaav]

The reason I love basketball and the Spurs!!!! My GOAT! MAAAANNUUUU!

[@AstigMagaling]

My favorite player of all time

[@ahndrea8911]

Love and miss you Manu G.20

[@TheNeutralizer27]

My favorite player of all time “KILLER” “the best one out there” Yes that’s how we all should feel and it’s how I feel ❤ humbly

[@Drygun01]

Our favorite player of all time.. Gracious Manu

[@andyyap6319]

Manu, Tony and Timmy are real big 3. They stayed in same team till retirement and won many championships together under the same coach.

[@Isuckatvideogames210]

Manu is the player that made me fall in love with the sport. Growing up going to the AT&T center watching him play, it was magical man. GO SPURS GO!

[@miguelalbertocastilloperal4086]

Como te extraño verte jugar Manuuuuu! Ídolo...

[@Nanami_7.3ratio]

Duncan gave Manu a bald spot 😂😂😂

[@jdmarvel31]

I'm so glad I got to live during the spurs big three. Manu, Parker, and Timmy. They are the absolute best ever to play for our spurs

[@_jaim.p]

One of my favorites hands down

[@kikomateo4747]

STILL UP TODAY, THANKNYOU MANU

[@jonathanwstx]

Greatest 6th man ever ! MANUUUU

[@alancruz9607]

I shed a tear for this 🥲 we love you Manu ❤️

[@edwardchavez523]

I Love that man he is awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@juan5h]

Love Manu, love the Spurs

[@riadanabtawi5880]

Manu was a fearless player. He will rush to the basket and scores while 4 or even 5 players in front of him and he scores by zigzaging among them using his left or right hand and makes the shot.

[@dirtymikeandtheboyz2570]

Thank you Manu!!!!

[@4135241352]

We love you too ❤❤manu🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mechajintsu]

Very gracious of CB4 to be in the episode - 10:47

[@Rapboy89]

Great episode! My second favorite player (behind Timmy)! So many great plays, but that dunk against Bosh in the 2014 Finals will always be etched into my memory! ⚪️⚫️🏀

[@Agent10903]

This was amazing! Manu gave everything on the court. Maybe should be considered as Pop’s replacement.❤20

[@andreaalfaro8077]

Te cago amando Manu , gracias por tanta inspiración. Piel de gallina de nuevo al ver tus jugadas ❤ . Manu for ever 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@hungloe86]

One of the best to ever put on a spurs jersey

[@supergaga1712]

If Tony was the engine, and Tim the spirit of those teams, Manu was definitely the heart.

[@clydekimsey7503]

My favorite athlete. I was at that game when he hit the bat--didnt surprise me at all😅

[@r.suryan]

💯💯💯💯 quality. Really great job Spurs. One of a kind. The right person, right time, right place. True genuine person. I can't explain, but his celebration whenever he scored is just focused on himself and giving a spark to other teammates, waaaay different from nowadays celebration. Today's celebration is just taunting your rival. 😂😂😂 And most importantly, a winner mentality, with more than 0.7 winning % for a player with more than 1000 games.

[@dimensionless]

No words. Just love

[@u2verparacreer743]

MY GOAT. 🐐

[@winstonmontag8824]

I just happened to move to San Antonio in 2003 and lived a mile from the SBC Center. Had no idea they were that close and games were that cheap. My area in Florida had no pro teams and I quickly fell in love with the Spurs and especially Manu. Got to go to lots of playoff games and the finals. Amazing experience I still treasure to this day

[@khoahthong4434]

Wished kobe could have told those stories first hand.❤❤

[@KyariaRama]

Spurs All-Time Prime Greats 1978' George Gervin Guard 1999' David Robinson Center 2003' Tim Duncan Forward 2005' Manu Ginobili Guard 2007' Tony Parker Guard 2014' Gregg Popovich Coach

[@operaenthusiast58]

Great mini doc, didnt know about the right testie 😮 must of hurted a lot

[@teddyseromlab5344]

My all time fave player.....manu20

[@johnrivera922]

Gracias Manu!!!

[@tonytorres1624]

What a great memories bring Manu to my head,Legend.

[@ShawnYang666]

If Manu is still in the NBA now, even by this age, there will be tons of playoff teams lining for signing him. He can literally single-handed turn a good team into a serious title contender.

[@kylemonsterdrywallfistbump5948]

He never did though. Spurs were already champions before he got there and ginobili's first ring was his rookie season where he averaged 7 ppg.

[@MiserableLemon]

Manu was such an inspiration for me growing up, I copied everything he did, his aggressive 'reckless' playstyle (in any sport or game), grew out crazy long hair and Eurostepped all the way to the basket because that's literally all I knew.

[@trishajohnson2221]

He was The Heart ♥️

[@huckfinn3987]

Washington Redskin running back Larry Brown, tennis great Roger Federer, and Manu: my personal top 3 most valued sports heroes.

[@anthonyvasquez7050]

My all time favorite player ! MANUUUU !!!!!

[@BellaHikari]

This should be on netflix or something for every argentinian to watch with subtiles the love you give to Manu. I remember watching the 4-3 Pistons finale from Argentina, pretty late due to time difference I was 17yo. I fell in love with Spurs bc of him and fell in love with the heavenly Trio he made with Duncan and Parker. Could watch him playing with our National Jersey in oyr city 🤯🤯🤯 Also met Oberto, I have a picture with him he's extremely tall 😂

[@diegosastre11]

the example of team basketball. argentinian pride

[@marioleal3455]

Love the player docs

[@ej15catadman]

One of my favorite spurs player all time ☺️👏👏👍👍💪💪

[@granthoops]

8:10 I think Bud was most likely talking about Manu's floater at the end of game 3.

[@kimdemegillo9631]

my man!

[@streetk1dd]

te amo manu❤🇦🇷

[@elianazelada8760]

The real batman! Manu the greatest!

[@bbear88]

We are TEXANS! You're damn right you are Manu!

[@BSPM8]

Love you and thank you Manu !!!

[@ArturoRodriguez-xh3vk]

Manu, class act.

[@agentendive5781]

Thank you for this video!

[@prolibra72]

My all-time favorite Spurs player! Can't get enough of these videos! I would like to know where the title came from? 🤔

[@tetraire3844]

The rowel is the spiked revolving disk at the back of a spur. It often makes a ringing sound when the wearer is walking. The sound of a Spur. GSG!

[@sm3dium]

The best Spur to ever put on a uniform. #20 you will live on forever in San Antonio 🫶🏼

[@1800Clips]

Love you Manu !!!!

[@ernieestrada193]

I don't care what anybody says he is the Michael Jordan of Argentina

[@kaoru614khl]

all the love from 🇵🇭

[@agustinvaldez9120]

Manuuuu idoloooo🇦🇷🔥

[@sas4l176]

Gracious Manu por vida

[@Proctra]

He is a goat for all he did for this sport

[@ernieestrada193]

Hell yeah
