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

[@rasaecnai]

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.

[@salbarbaro3577]

confusecian same here man. Carmelo only thinks of himself. Don’t believe he chooses winning over his stats

He'll be on the bench soon enough don't worry lmao

[@turtlemanfromgatherspond6382]

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

[@Manufan-og1xg]

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

[@jorjojoge]

Toni Georg Ginóbili has one of the most top high ratings of effective points. you can make 30 point every game but how much important they're it's what make the difference

[@LandStrider23]

@@jorjojoge yes , there are ways to impact the game and be effective that numbers don't always show. Funny enough Harden reminds me of Ginobili the most, without any of his intangibles

[@fatalsniper3413]

@@LandStrider23 that's not fair because Harden in 2012 as a 6th man was definitely up there probably not as good as Manu but not far. Harden is a baller to be able to carry a team for 80+ games 7+ years in the playoffs is intangibles. Can't understate the grind of doing what Harden did. Look at Kawhi he is constantly on great teams and is able to take 12+ games off a season. Now i don't think Harden is so much better than Gino but Harden should definitely get props for doing what

[@moneyman_t208]

@@fatalsniper3413 maybe it's because there both left handed

[@woyaochinidedoufu2753]

If Harden played in a Spurs type of system, he'd probably play more team ball. Most organizations don't have the Spurs team ball systems and this can only start from the top down

[@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.

[@darrenstansbury4433]

Manu Ginoboli has 4 NBA titles and is a future NBA Hall of Fame inductee. How many other late second round NBA draft picks (#56 in the '99 draft) have come so far? That should have inspired those drafted late since Ginoboli's retirement and should inspire future late draftees. I would not be surprised to see Ginoboli's children take up basketball if they haven't already.

[@OrionOodama]

Games 1 and 5 were close, and Spurs blew significant leads. Game 4 was close, and there was no-call on Bones' game-winning three-point attempt. As David Stern's favorite cash cow and ratings-stuffer, the Lakers had a lopsided trade to get Pau Gasol midseason. San Antonio tried, but close games won't work against L.A., plus Manu not fully healthy. Boston Celtics winning the franchise's 17 Title was the consolation that year.

[@robertkleeman7725]

How different that series could have been if Manu was healthy, or more importantly, the Spurs hadn't blown a 20-point lead in the opener. That team didn't have enough consistent firepower flanking the big three. I was at Game 4, and what I remember most, more than the non-call (don't forget there was one before Barry-Fisher that gave Spurs the ball), was how many chances SA had to pull in front out of timeouts and how all of them ended with mostly wide-open misses.

[@Manuginobili1000]

Yeah which is why I don’t really like how some fans say we were robbed, in 2006 and 2008, the spurs just ran into teams that were healthier and playing better than they were at the time. Also as you said, spurs also didn’t have enough firepower around the Big 3 at times because they’re role players: Horry, Finley, Oberto, Udoka were inconsistent, Especially Horry which is why I find his recent comments about how he feels Timmy and Manu choked him out of 2 more rings amusing. In 2004, he didn’t play well against the lakers at all, in 2006 he struggled and had one of his worst playoffs ever and barely scored in the series against Dallas, and in 2008 he was a bit overweight but still did nothing against the suns, hornets or lakers. And he has the nerve to talk? I really think if Manu were healthy, this series would’ve went way different. But I honestly just feel our bench was a little too old at the time to go back to back.

[@Manuginobili1000]

Robert Kleeman the spurs blew multiple leads in this series, you mentioned game 1, but also game 5 where they were leading basically the whole game until late. It’s not the spurs way to give up leads, if they had just executed like they were supposed to, they would’ve won game 1, 3, and 5 at least.

disappointing the Spurs would lose out to the Lakers and would miss the Finals that year though. They were the defending champs and a settled/established team tailored for the playoffs, Lakers were brand new, Gasol had just arrived from the mid-season deal... and they got beat badly in the Finals by Boston.

[@happilyevanafter]

spurs were robbed AGAIN that series. every time we have had a chance at b2b titles the series we lost was very questionable or flukey. 2004 the bs .4 shot by fisher, 2006 the dumb foul by manu, 2008 berry gets fouled on a gw 3 at the buzzer vs the lakers but no call, 2015 the very questionably officiated clippers series.

If only SPURS won game 4 this series would of had the momentum swing on San Antonio going into game 5 and Spurs would of won then coming back home to close out the series but wr all knew the NBA did not want Boston vs San Antonio knowing the Spurs would of won back 2 back titles. Im my opinion spurs had a chance to take game 1 but Kobe being Kobe did not want to loose that game 1 in a ass whooping. And without the return of Derek Fisher this team would have a hard time containing a prime Tony Parker like always Fisher always finds a way to outplay Parker that was so frustrating to watch everytime.
