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!

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

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.

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.
@martynpotter216 жыл бұрын
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
