Manu Ginóbili Tribute "The Ultimate Competitor"

My tribute to Manu edited by colin-stanton.com

[@jawpoppinoff6511]

Thank you Colin. Someday, when I have kids, and they ask why Manu was so great, I’m pullin up this video. Then I’m gonna yell “GINOBILIIIII” for the rest of the day

[@TheBookofBasketball]

Thank you. - Colin

[@jacobaldo]

crying after your statement. so touching.

[@anthonyethan2007]

What’s the first song name?

[@migueltavernise5620]

That's how i define it , manu's an "animal competitive".

[@lucasoscar]

I always regretted Manu tributes being in bad quality or that everyone missed something, this one is as close as it gets to perfection, thank you.

[@raymaster972]

Best sixth man in history. Sorry Jamal Crawford move aside. Manu has that same fiery will that Jordan and Kobe have. That killer instinct that makes him so clutch late in games. A force to be reckoned with even at 40 years old. His basketball IQ and tenacity are off the charts! On of the best passers I have ever seen as well. Such a complete package as a basketball player and as far as I can tell a great person off the court as well. Thank you for being who you are Ginob.. give us at the very least one more year of magic!

[@jamesspalten5977]

Hondo Havlicek was as great of a sixth man as Ginobili. Jamal Crawford couldn't hold either of their jock straps!!

[@kinggodflow253]

The man had 4 rings, dunked on Yao Ming, hit game winners, had game winning block, postering guys taller than him, and passed the ball like a point god. 🐐

[@Jose-se9pu]

King GodFlow you forgot a gold medal, and beating a Dream Team...twice.

[@mcneil9731]

Dunk on lebron is d'best

[@darrylnewland267]

Yes! His passes were amazing!

[@isuruumayanga8187]

Also blocked he's hardens step back on the year of retirement

[@indioargento]

and one bat

[@crespossss]

Words are not enough for what he did for the game in every aspect..NBA..Argentina..Europe..one of the most complete players ever...a real role model for the younger generations..defence.. offence..passing..teamplay.. passion.. character.. leadership.. guts..vision..clutch..devotion..EVERYTHING!!! THANK YOU MANU..from Athens,Greece.

[@carlosagustinserron5136]

Nice and true words, of course, not the only words. 😉 From Bahía Blanca, Argentina.

[@tmarianocosta]

Temos uma rivalidade histórica com os Los hermanos, mas não tem como tirar o chapéu pra esse cara, você sente o espírito de guerreiro dele no jogo dele, não tem bola perdida, apesar de toda sua técnica. O amor dele pelo país é fascinante Monstro!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nicosamoa]

Mariano Costa es una pena la generacion perdida de brasil, barbosa, anderson, guillerme, nene, etc. Nunca jugaron como un verdadero equipo

[@jorgeetcheverria1765]

Gracias MARIANO yo me saco el sombrero ante ti mi hermano

[@kohcoh]

My favorite player of all time. His game embodied not only how good basketball should be played, but also how humans should live: sacrifice, teamwork, humility, passion. GINOBILI!!!!!!!

[@darkbuddha3307]

the savagery of the coach at 1:05 I need a coach like that in my life.

[@0xf7c8]

They lost anyway lol

[@zoezoe3301]

😭😭😭😭

[@MyWorldFootball]

@M lol

[@indioargento]

same coach in red... minuto 1:25

[@palsildirciondor4637]

The entire translation of the Head Coach "Che" Garcia de Boca Juniors (one of the most important teams) "Who can defend Ginobili? Me!! Me!! No, you can't. Why? You can't stop it. I'm going (The other player) Do you dare? Okay. Ginobili at that time was 17 or 18 years old playing the Argentine league.

[@lazyboy6552]

57th pick in the draft selection, Never switched nba teams, never gave bullshit didn't talk crap, probably all nba players who played him or even just watched him respects him. No words I know can explain how amazing, cool, bad ass this legendary player has become, I didn't watch him all though out his career(Not even born when he was drafted) But the period of time I watched him convinced me how amazing this guy is, and even I don't know when I became a fan. Manu is a legend so is the spurs, your presence in the court will be missed and I hope he sticks around the spurs in a lot of ways

[@fridz66]

Manu is a one of a kind basketball player. He was and will always be remembered as a team player. He could have scored 30+ every game but he chose to put the team first and that made him an even better player than he already is. A real champ.

[@jamesspalten5977]

You are definitely right about being a team player. No telling how much he could have scored. The only person that could stop him was himself. That didn't happen often, either.

[@tontonpacute]

im quietly watching youtube over here and all of a sudden these ninjas with onions come into my house

[@migo-migo9503]

Damn, you too? Same shit happened at my crib!

[@nashitkhan9611]

Onion no jutsu

[@batyrerimbetov4849]

For years, I have thought of Ginobili as the real ''White Mamba''! He is really similar (at least to me) to Kobe Bryant without Kobe's ego (I am a fan of Kobe by the way). As far as I know Ginobili is the most loved player by the Spurs, not Duncan, not Robinson, not the Iceman...and from your video, Mr. Stanton, it is easy to see why.

[@martynpotter21]

Batyr Erimbetov if I recall correctly, in Kobe's "Doin' Work" documentary where they were playing the Spurs, Manu was on the bench in street clothes as he was injured and Kobe narrated "that's a bad man right there." Kobe doesn't hand out that kind of compliment to just anybody, you knew he respected Manu and their similar competitive fire.

[@ivandesantis858]

Special player but don't get crazy. No GM is taking Ginobli over Bryant when they were both in their prime

[@Jimmy-sw8pv]

That's basically how GMs get finessed, just look at what happened to Dallas with Luka

[@zalosarmiento1554]

Amazing video. For Basket lovers it is difficult not to tear when you see it. Ginobili gave all for the colors he defended. Do not compare it with other great basketball players. He is unique. Just enjoy what this monster did in this sport. And Thanks Manu Ginobili while my mom was very sick and I had a bad time you gave me the joy of beating the great USA team in 2004. I never forgot that.

[@jordannietos]

Grande manu

[@aizen3159]

In terms of Tenacity and IQ he's one of the greatest. For me he's the Tal of basketball. I enjoy watching his unpredictable plays.

[@zhugelianges]

It gets me emotional watching this video. From any perspective, attitude or performance, Manu is definitely a future Hall of Famer. Great Video!

[@neogigo]

Thank you Manu, it was honor and a privilege to see you play... happy retirement

[@MrBeefseven]

So glad this has been made especially after the ‘Beautiful Game’ videos and how good they were. I never grew up with the NBA, but since I got into basketball Manu has become my favourite player, he just embodies passion, flair and class. Sad that the end is nigh for but I hope he gets properly recognised as the legend he is.

[@nicholasvargas9017]

Thank you manu for your dedication your hard work your never quit attitude you truly are one of the greats of all time San Antonio will miss greatly.

[@ArtIsBlastDeidara]

Someone should send this to Kawhi

[@eboooo]

c'mon you have no idea what the particulars of that situation is.

[@hiramreyna4862]

Johndy Surio lol for real tho

[@jspurs22]

More guys like Melo

[@BallIsLife353332]

Michael Eyob he was cleared by multiple doctors weeks maybe months before playoffs

[@ronniewest87]

What about the Lakers

[@Borderline_BaS]

Another gem among basketball tributes - magnificent job. While I might have other players rating higher on my all-time list, there was no one more exciting and fun to watch. Many greetings to Manu and all Spurs and Argentina fans from Belgrade!

[@miguelocs6941]

My expiration date is at 40. And he is 41! God gives us Manu 1 year more

[@gustavobatakis6190]

El mejor deportista de la historia en Argentina. Y un privilegio verlo seguir siendo protagonista en este nivel.

[@elnegrodeldz7181]

QUIEN FUE EL IGNORANTE QUE DIO DISLIKE A ESTE VIDEO LPM!!😤😤😤.... Perdonalo señor no sabe lo que hace 🙏🙏🙏

[@timmyd5055]

El negro De LDZ SI NO ME GUSTA DISLIKE

[@jobimzapico44]

the parts with dan patrick commentary and manu himself explaining his experiences with basketball in spanish...talk about emotion. i feel honored to have been a fan of this team. this core group of Tim, Tony, and Manu, there are no words to describe what they mean to me as someone who loves sports and appreciates everything they did. they taught me how to be a man

[@jonchristian9639]

Been waiting 2 years for another video to come out, can’t say I’m disappointed one bit. There isn’t anything else that gives me the feels about basketball like this.

[@TheBookofBasketball]

Thank you Jon. - Colin

[@ΘεοδώραΧιόνου]

All Argentinians should be very proud for this Man. There are so many Highlights in his career given with so much love for the game of Basketball...Manu was the ultimate winner!!! Pop said it all at the end of the Video!!!

[@lucasyoung9838]

We are very proud of him. He has been a super professional that follows his dreams. Here in Argentina, basket is not the most popular sport and they do not earn too much money. Best players leave to play in Europe and then NBA

[@CristianFassi]

WOW, this is the best tribute video ever made, good quality and edition! After all with Manu's career you have a lot of good material to work with.

[@brucewallace444]

One of the coolest dudes I have ever met,so nice to his fans.

[@torinoconnor4296]

You met him? Nice

[@edrozy2332]

I don't care what other people say, this is the best Basketball channel in KZbin. The compilation of the high-quality videos and music is top notch. It's a shame that he doesn't post that often, but when he does, he doesn't disappoint.

[@TheBookofBasketball]

Thank you.- Colin

[@michealpowell1299]

Edrozy When he drinks beer ... He drinks Dos Equis... Stay thirsty my friend

[@torinoconnor4296]

I wish he posted more

[@ruidu2911]

It's the first time that I see his speech and it's the truth of basketball and life.

[@lulumatthewiosi179]

He is someone that really understands the "secret" of basketball.

[@underrated7725]

When I think of Ginobili I think of Jordan and Kobe even though Ginobili came off the bench. I remembered watching him in 02 and thought" Wow this guy is bad. Just like Jordan and Kobe he made some of the most ridiculous shots. Making crazy shots is something a lot of players do but to do it numerous times is crazy. It really gets unnoticed because he made it look so easy. Ginobili was no holds barred. He drove to the basket with passion,anger,hunger,desire,determination. When he made that face driving to the basket nobody was gon stop him. Have a nice rest of your life Ginobili. Thanks for memories.2002-2018. Hall of famer for sure

[@wldennis1]

He could have played in any era and been a star. That is what makes him great!

[@thelgpain6529]

Well kids, this is a TRUE winner. No need to boast how good he is, no need to make $200 shoes... This guy has a simple mentality, but an outsanding one to be honest. Honor, respect, loyalty and being unselfish make him a great baskteball player, but also an amazing human being

[@TheTobirianagentzero]

Was having a good day,now I'm in tears,but its a better day

[@jordannshim369]

A true legend a true spurs hero

[@kspr13]

2:03 Kobe and shaq went to the school again with professor manu

[@billywilliam1118]

You have to have talent to win in Europe,Olympics and multiple rings in the NBA but not many players have talent but also the five most important traits in basketball in my opinion defensive toughness,leadership,Savy ball handling and passing,Fundamental scoring and shooting and of course being clutch in the biggest games. Not to mention the best teammate and class act you can find. If he was American he would have a statute in San Antonio already.

[@ninjamage5215]

Let’s be real, he’s gonna have a statue at some poin

[@justinle8787]

Top 3 Sg of the 2000s, championships, skills, Iq, defense,... he has them all. He created a whole new play-style which inspired the new generation. Guys are doing step-backs, euro-steps now because of this man right here

[@reylatino10]

Watching this the day he says goodbye is just heartbreaking. A moment of silence for today Basketball lost one of his fierces and more respected competitor in the history of the sport maybe 🇦🇷👑🏀

[@forc3ofxf3ar51]

I’m actually emotional.

[@NachoOn]

Gracias genio, de los más grandes (o el más grande) deportistas de la historia Argentina. Gracias!

[@eboooo]

As an American and a Laker fan I hated him a lot but dammit he was so skilled

[@grupofriends8258]

I cannot believe in a football-loving country, a legend was born of one of the most important sports in the world and as professional as the best basketball in the USA and the world. Watching the videos he created that in Argentina and the US the dimension of this professional and competitive player, we may not really have what his achievements mean, he created without knowing basketball that he is the best depotist in Argentine history with Juan Fangio (F1) and Messi or Maradona. The Americans are the geniuses of this sport and can qualify us with knowledge of what Manu Ginobili means as if we describe soccer.

[@bbforever9920]

WOW nothing like a good cry! He will be missed.

[@Jonas-PD]

One of the greatest in history. Will be so sad to see him go.

[@diegocarchini2011]

JonasPD i

[@startcast]

The greatest ginobili tribute ever, I could watch this 1000 times. LOVE his heart and fire, LOVE the person he has become and example he his to others. My SON LOVES GINOBILI, very easy to see why!

[@TheMigueS]

A great player, a greater human being. Smart, but humble... So remarkable.

[@rubydee2028]

My first reaction to Manu was "boy am I happy he is on our team". He has done the Spurs and city of San Antonio proud,

[@leoncatchme5566]

This makes a grown up man cry! Goosebumps in me. My goodness! I’m gonna miss him play in court! #graciasmanu

[@karljohnullegue2083]

The pass at 4:38 is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

[@WildDanHibiki]

The one at 4:40 was even better. Between the freaking legs of a moving defender wtfff

[@armin38822]

The prime years of Spurs basketball ( and there was long strech of those prime years ) is a proof that no matter how good of a cook you are ( pop ) you still need top notch ingridents ( Tony,Tim and Manu ) to make the perfect meal. It started with Duncan,he set the tone and those two were the perfect basketball and personality match. I doubt it will ever be repeated that 3 guys can win so much and be so close on and off the court for such a long period of time. I would be confident going into a playoff battle against any big 3 that ever played in the league with this trio. For those who follow international basketball will know that when Tony or Manu were asked to be the primary scorer,leader etc. they delivered huge from France and Argentina. Those two guys were superstars,specialy Manu since he was also such a great playmaker. But they sacrifaced their own personal stats in order for the team to run like a well oiled machine. You were going against 3 guys who just knew each other so damn well on the court and trully played not like a big 3 but like a unite.

[@ricklaruler8598]

I didn't care when jordan retired, nor kobe, or anyone else. this guy right here i have so much respect for!

[@sananto2102]

Wow i knew this day was coming but didnt think it would hurt this much gonna miss Manu on that court. Thanks for the great memories. There will never be another player like Manu. Much love for MANU.

[@jram5720]

Manu was so special man glad he represented my city here in San Antonio what a player he was he’d be in my top 5

[@avib4073]

His passion, grit, intelligence, creativity and skill is unmatched besides Lebron, Bird, Magic, CP3 and maybe a couple others

[@hiramreyna4862]

You literally captured the essence, the beauty, and the passion of Manu Ginobili's game. He is, without s doubt, one the most talented basketball players to ever step foot on the court. He brought his own style of play to the NBA. From no look passes, crazy finishes at the rim, behind the back fakes, buzzer beaters, clutch shooting, highflying dunks, and the list goes on. A fun player to watch and by far, my favorite player of all time. He held back and restrained him self while playing fir the San Antonio Spurs but I'm sure when he retires, he won't have any regrets about being the greatest 6th man to ever play the game, that could have easily been a starting player in any other team. #UnoMasManu

[@iyhamdolfin1875]

This is d heart of a champion n a superstar! His name is Ginobli NOT Kawhi. Lovely tribute, thank you!

[@romariocosta5297]

O maior sulamericano da história da NBA Manu ginobili o Brasil te ama!!! 🏀Canhota de ouro 🥇

[@matthew9.21]

How can you not love this man! Even if you r a laker fan , give respect where it is warranted

[@FrancescoGrigoriDiBene]

I love him like a brother. My favourite player of all time and arguably in the top 10 of people that I admire the most. It will break my heart to see him retire. Hopefully he'll give us another year... it would be a great gift.

[@ΘεοδώραΧιόνου]

I’m a sport fun Lucas I know very well what sport is the most popular in your Country. But trust me been Greek(in my country Football is by far also the most popular sport) the only Sportman around the World that I’m envious for is Manu! Not Diego not Lio not Cristiano not Lebron not even Magic, Jordan or Kobe. Manu is a very rare Man. He is unique! The greatest stud and heart that Basketball court has ever seen.

[@shan-sn1rr]

Goose bump and tears breaking down~!!! Thanks for this great video~!! And more importantly~!! Thanks Manu for being such a wonderful bball player / Competitor !!!

[@tommy_batista22]

I’m not crying, you are lol

[@fabricioromero7841]

Que amargos que son los 25 que pucieron no me gusta

[@i1shadow361]

The time has come. Manu legend

[@goatsinoflust7116]

Some good basketball right there

[@ChoperJoJo]

2:30 i remember watching it live, no words to describe that

[@revysingh]

Am I the only one that is saddened by the fact he wasn't part of the top 75, yet Carmelo Anthony was?

[@isaiasmendoza17399]

I'm crying 😢😢😭😭😭

[@radiopepco8172]

for real tho

[@zzureee]

6:00 could someone link me the video where manu says all this? It's sounds like an amazing interview

[@TheBookofBasketball]

The audio is from a TED Talk Manu gave several years ago, it's easy to find on KZbin.

[@CristianFassi]

Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4vQqJWmmNF6pJI

[@MANOSW]

the vid has subtitles in english

[@gregbaksh3373]

This man made me wanna play flashy basketball, and I'll miss him so much....Spurs lost their trio and basketball will never be the same there again

[@johnbahia8757]

If Manu had become a starter and first option, he'd definitely average 25 5 5 easily.

[@aBrocodile]

Jlu he would be what harden is today for sure

[@kohcoh]

Nah. Manu is an actual defender. Harden is a scuffed Manu.

[@sportingminds3311]

WE NEED MORE VIDEOS!

[@romangallardo7586]

These are the players that you need to watch to understand how great they were

[@ibwonderful1]

Ginobili is easily one of the top 10 players in NBA history. Yes, some will disagree but he brought the intangibles, the talent and the drive to win games that should have been lost. Hands down top ten. Should have been the MVP during the 2014 NBA Championship run. Now that we look back and see what an idiot Kawhi Leonard has become, it should have gone to Manu. Easily an NBA Hall of Fame player, again one of the greatest to ever set foot on a basketball court, no matter where it was.

[@rikimarusaintpreux8448]

i think parker needs to retire from this time as well.. im a spurs fan its tough seeing this video spurs fan forever Ginobili!!!

[@bwoahf1403]
