Manu Ginobili: Leading the Spurs over Kobe and the Lakers (2008 WCF Game 3, 30 points)

www.basketball-reference.com/b...
Manu Ginobili got out of his slump and scored 30 points (22 in the first half) in the Spurs' 103-84 win over the Lakers in game 3 of the 2008 Western Conference Finals. Manu had been struggling with a stress fracture in his foot (that only continued to get worse with no rest in between seasons).
Just a reminder of what Manu is capable of and why Pop counts on him to lead a spark off the bench.

Manu sacrificed being a superstar starter, a number one option for most teams, to win championships. That takes a lot of humbleness and swallowing his own pride to win

When i see Carmelo saying he wont go to the bench, i always think of Manu. Manu got 4 rings, and Melo got none. I think this says a lot about their approach to the game.

[@Manufan-og1xg]

This is why Manu is one of Kobe's favorite players.

Here is what Harden and Westbrook don't know - u don't need to average 30 points triple-double to be champion and legend. Basketball is still a team sport

God don’t make them like that no more. Ginobili the 🐐

[@Cotswolds1913]

He still was dealing with that ankle injury, which is why all of these points (even in the good game he had) were mostly from distance, and you can tell he's hobbled when he puts it on the floor.
