Manu Ginobili Ultimate Breakdown! (

The NBA has one less legend playing this upcoming season. Manu Ginobili is truly a basketball entrepreneur--one of the most unique and interesting players ever. Not many can say they dislike Manu, and there's a lot in his game that any player can add to their arsenal. Check it out!

[@Chandasouk]

Respect the OG. I never thought I'd see the day where the Spurs Big 3 are gone but here we are. I'll always remember Manu killing the last descendant of the dinosaurs with his dunk on Bosh.

[@krazylaostah206]

^^^yes this comment is fire 🔥

[@lunatunes760]

Broo I'll forever remember that dunk on bosh! And how hyped it got timmy D.

[@mondrometal]

There is so much to break down from his game. His energy from the bench. His clutchness and passion. His passing. His management of tempo and momentum on games. Also he was a great stealer. You could always see him active in defense making plays and forcing errors. It was truly a movie-like player and a joy to watch prime Manu play.

[@hiramreyna4862]

Extremely underrated and under appreciated baller Truly one of the greats

[@dreadrockz]

Certified Future Hall of Famer

[@philwilson609]

Dreadrockz, Manu is unique among hall of fame caliber players. He did not come to the NBA until age 25 since he was lighting up European leagues until the NBA barely caught on (Manu was drafted in the second round -57th in 1999). Once he came to the league, he played a role off the bench and only averaged 25 minutes of playing time per game for his career. His uniquely modest style and restrained ego fit perfectly as part of a trio of foreign born, team first, super stars (with Duncan and Parker) that redefined basketball, and inspired the greatest "team first" squad of all time - today's Golden State Warriors. BTW, the Spurs run of titles with foreign born stars represents the virtues that make the current NBA the best basketball era of all time. Basketball is nearly as international as soccer (football) and those who believe that the players of the 80s or 90s were better are deluded.

[@nategibb9199]

Manu is an all time legend. I really respect his game, and this breakdown just increases that respect. I would appreciate a JJ Redick or Kyle Korver attention to detail though.

[@ZayFW]

Are we just gonna forget about his incredible court vision and passing? I feel like that should’ve been a bigger focus

[@e.i.7876]

Yeah, and he was a pretty decent defender too, IQwise.

[@92akucaballero97]

Expreso Impala decent defender iqwise? All the IQ in the world is not gona block 7ft Kevin Durant dunk running full speed to the rim. Dude was athletic Af but cuz he’s white its IQ?

[@e.i.7876]

Sorry my choose of words seems like was bad, i am even more white than him and im from argentina so manu is like a demigod for me, i was just triying to point his IQ bc for me is the most amazing skill from his defense, lot of ppl can block but believe me no many can do what manu do with head.

[@92akucaballero97]

Expreso Impala I agree but I think he had more balls than anyone too. I first saw Manu on TV in summer of 2002 in world championships I was a laker Kobe fan I decided naw this is gona be my fav player . I’m glad with the choice I made .

[@DrBrownish]

Haven't even started the vid yet and I'm disappointed 😣

[@feedingcarry3369]

I'm not from San Antonio but have supported the Spurs all my life. Manu is my favorite player of all time. It's just sad I never got the chance to watch him live. Anyways, great vid guys! Imma show this to my young boy so he could watch and study it when he's big enough to actually dribble.

[@rosgill6]

i also love that when Manu is eurostepping to the basket his legs and arms are taking up so much space and basically searching for and waiting to get fouled. he was pretty damn good at earning and-1s

[@richardx4456]

I love the moment when he blocked Harden, I think most people actually prefer Manu than Harden any days.

[@bruhzaay]

hardens my favorite player and i’ll definitely take manu

[@Liftercode]

Nice Job. Gino was the reason i returned to see Nba since MJ and now its not the same.

[@lucasoscar]

I was just thinking by the end Manu deserved a longer video, nice work man. I wished you showed his hesitation moves which were pretty subtle but deadly, i remember a "game winner" against the Grizzlies where he drives, slows down backs his shoulder a bit and when the defender stops, Manu just makes one last stride for the easy layup

[@danortega748]

That is what I commented. Only a few, are doing it, same with the shamgod moves

[@fanmanultradude1140]

Alls great and then you watch him pass and it gives you chills... just bullets on point. There are a handful of players in the league right now that can pass like that.

[@adamsnormanrombano2366]

Finally manu on attention to details ive been searching it over and over before until i saw this today

[@dartvader158]

A very unique player. Game changer.

[@daftman420]

If there was 1 thing that I took up from Manu's game (besides the euro of course), was his grit. This guy was tough as nails like Iverson /GK

[@diegovelazquez9461]

Damn a 10000 hours video and a by any means video in the same day

[@marvinmuslim]

He had the coldest step back!!!

[@opiniononion]

First ballot

[@Javannie]

fr i hope manu get into the hall of fame he trully was a great player... only time will tell💯💪

[@cironicola2141]

Great vid as always, keep up the good work! Grande Manu!!!

[@jaydoublemIII]

Loved the video. For the future video can you breakdown his step back jumper more, the crazy nutmegs, his shamgods, and his game closing ability. Especially in his prime, he used to isolate on the top, usually on the corners, double backwards to get space then get past his defender with a pick or just get to the rim alone. Also please emphasize the unpredictable nature of his game. It's what what his fans love him. Tim Duncan once called him controlled chaos. Thanks!!

[@samuelquintanilla6338]

Manu was a machine.

[@johnd8197]

Keep grinding these videos really have changed my game for the better!

[@lanceclayton2492]

Pure awesomeness the video. Ginobili was awesomeness every second on the floor Jordan level. No others had it like them

[@mechajintsu]

His movement without the ball to get an open shot is very very very underrated. Can be observed on late games and ATO's. Highlight include 2005 game 5 that setup Horry's shot, 2014 WCF Game 6 the game tying shot to send to tie the game and avoid a meltdown (Spurs were up big and Thunder came roaring back punctuated by a Durant lay-up prior with and a roaring home crowd).

[@themiguelodon7206]

Awesome videos. Super in depth and concise

[@RuRu2041]

Thank you so much for the vid. Can't wait to see another one.

[@noahlivingston6764]

I waited all day for this and you decide to wait till I go to sleep😂 Lobe you guys tho and the quality keeps going up!!!

[@lighthousephotographybandera]

How many people know that within a 3 year span, Manu won the Euroleague Championship, Euroleague MVP, an NBA Championship and then Gold at the Olympics!!! He used to dribble and pass through defenders legs on such a regular basis, somebody needs to do a segment on that. Remember that sick pass through Kobe's legs? Happy to have been there in San Antonio for Manu's run, it was incredible. How many players show up as rookies already experienced at taking clutch shots to win epic games? That's Manu.

[@barnowl2832]

Great vid but I disagree about him not having blazing speed! At least from 2003 - 2007 he was equal to any scoring guard in quickness, we just think of him as slow because of how long he played for past his athletic prime

[@e.i.7876]

IKR! i mean watch his two hand dunk against suns, the dude exploded.

[@alejandroromero6464]

Looking forward to the next one!

[@deeway5964]

1st of all what a hell of a track. 2nd of all magnificent breakdown of Manu's game the one who brought the euro~step to the U.S.! 3rd of all I can't wait for part 2 of this. The only flaw is it was Mark Price whose the originator of the pick & roll split but since Manu was cold blooded at that too who is I to complain!

[@gabrielbravo4706]

Great vid! Part 2, please!

[@TedwardJamIII]

I’m ready for part 2 of this video! Best International left handed guard to play the game.

[@oniuqadrannek]

FCKING FINALLY AFTER A YEAR OF TRYING TO TELL YOU TO MAKE A MANU GINOBILI VID YOU FINALLY DID IT! WOOPP

[@milannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

Manu Ginobili can become the president because he is left handed.

[@kikeamatore]

Lmao

[@jyon494]

3:55 that finish

[@SaiyanZ3]

Yooooooo this is awesome, I was waiting for one on my favorite athlete ever, but you have a 2nd one planned too?! Imo, Manu is a top 10 SG of all time, the best passer among 2 guards ever and potentially a top 50 player of all time. Can't wait for your Tim Duncan one next

[@Steal364]

Top 10 guard Ok,but a top 50 player is too much..cmon

[@SaiyanZ3]

I dont think its that much. I think he's getting in at that 46-50 spot.

[@dexterjankaren]

Second best player on a 4 ring team! And this was during the Lakers era too. Manus awesome

[@bakothegreat6986]

@@dexterjankaren tony parker was better

[@ATRguionbajo]

Amazing! I would love to see every move that today's players have learn from Manu's game. Peace

[@simonkim1997]

Waiting on that later video :D (would love a breakdown on his passing and court vision)

[@fgotoman7431]

basketball IQ: genius

[@manuchar81]

excellent video!! Thank you!

[@gabotroncoso1907]

I love this channel!

[@MrUrkel0730]

More? More Manu? Yes please....

[@David-1216]

Can u guys just make an entire video about tips for attacking, like mentioning using longer strides and other useful info like that?

[@markhathaway9456]

Details I noticed most: Step back before drive, long strides, turning body at last second to face basket. Stepping back over the 3-pt line to get the defender moving toward him, then driving around.

[@martynpotter21]

I'd finally come to terms with not being able to ever see Manu on the court again... *opens video* "I love you so, I'll never let you go" 😭😭😭😭😭 Hahaha great video by the way, as usual.

[@riadanabtawi5880]

He was a very brave player trying to pass 3 ti 4 players to get to the basket who are much taller and weigh much more than he is.

[@ronalddechosa3048]

Manu is Manu. . .vintage🤩🤩🤩

[@henriarm367]

another "you-can't-hate-this-player"

[@jasonsal6742]

After what Manu did to a Lakers super team that had Kobe, Shaq, Gary Payton, Karl Malone and Manu Ginobili destroyed them in 04 without a Tim Duncan and Tony Parker playing a single min. Yes the Lakers won but by only 3 points. Manu almost pulled that win off! He crossed over Kobe Bryant and Gary Payton repeatedly and took it to the rim for a And1 on Shaq! Also Shaq and Koby were still in their Prime's!! Ppl need to go and watch the footage because the Lakers couldn't stop him. Manu was unstoppable that game and showed his true potential and greatness that night. After that night I knew Manu was just as great a player as Kobe, Shaq, Dirk, Wade, LeBron, etc.. and if u think I'm lie'ing go and watch the footage. He destroyed Kobe and Shaq in that game.💯✌️

[@KunalMoon01]

Waiting for more in other video of Manu Ginobili,,.

[@wxwHeRowxw]

Soundtrack name???. and btw great video bro I really enjoy it keep it up

[@obelobi]

good video!!!! make a video with manu skills trough oposites player s legs please

[@Steal364]

THE best bbal Channel!!

[@nuffsaid.2724]

Gilbert Arenas would be pretty dope, he has a lot of IQ and game

whoiskory and a certain bang to it too lol

[@jullius.6433]

Noti Squa!!!!

[@kingflame532]

Great video gonna miss the old man and can you please don't Jrue Holiday

[@user-qp7xz5hx7c]

Dam I want that later video right now

[@alvin081988]

I like how he uses the Eurostep....there are times he uses that move and allows the defender to initiate a contact

[@trixiejanobas1955]

His playing style never went rust the only enemy he got is father time

[@jrandrew430]

I love it

[@danortega748]

Forget about backstep, hesitation move and shamgod, why.. he perfected them all. So much clutch also.

[@nrvanamentalty9937]

best european player ever played not even born at europe

[@Metalovichinkov]

He was a monster always finishing left. God knows how much a problem he would have been if he was as proficient with his right hand as his left.

[@ACESHARPGAMETIME]

The trickster.. The magician.. The amazing.. F he convert to martial artist.. He is Bruce lee or Steven segal.. He is elite.. The most unique player.. All around..outside inside.. Slasher.. 3p0inters..dpenders..rebound..

[@souhail208]

great work u doing brother, #AttentionToDetail kareem abduljabar plz

[@cooperkrone8325]

When is the next video on him!!?!?! Need it asap

[@mcmiketastic15]

Finally he took my request

[@marizpernes]

ALL LOVE FOR MANU ⚪️⚫️⚪️

[@210antonio7]

yes!!!!! tysm

[@RadónNF]

Gracias Manu por ser argentino!!!!

[@lanceclayton205]

He got so many coaches fired. Greatest to touch the leather Manu

[@danhle1032]

a video that does him justice...what i think is missing is more drives, the controversial ones that everyone thinks is a travel but isn't, just perfect footwork and timing, so that his -1 step is timed with the last dribble bounce that he pushes far in front of him, then he takes a long zero step, grabs the ball so then he has two massive steps to cover ground....4 steps with one bounce.

[@nicoraba]

Excellent video but it's missing the absurd crossed eurostep he did against O'Neal.. It was supersick!

[@javadergs]

Really a trendsetter!

[@tommywolmart265]

2nd favorite player of all time

[@maskoffmike]

Yess

[@ConsiglieriARG]

Great video. Music was unbearable after a minute. I had to mute the phone! 😄

[@michaelmike3102]

Can someone tell me the instrumental to this video???

[@franciscojaviermunoz252]

otro video de Manuuuuuuuu!!

[@masterroshimagazines4354]

Would be cool to see Ginobili stick around in the nba scene. I won see if he'll move back home or stay in the US

[@pajodato5339]

Manu used gambeta tactics, to make opponents lose equilibrium and then explode on a dash euroattack. NBA was rigid and overly uncreative until Manu started showin how you do business.

[@michaelmike3102]

The song is by J Myles - Intro

[@CJBT]

Eurostep King! debatable with D. Wade but both guys have different styles so I think it could go either way.

[@e.i.7876]

manu is more effective with it, wade's was explosive but since he got old is not the same.

[@jeandavidamisi5450]

Still waiting on you for that "but we will save that for a later video" you mentioned.

[@rafael_testai]

Show the later video. You forgot to mention his ability to defend: Take charges, blocks, and steals. James Harden ain't got that.

[@MrDemarrious]

Harden lead the league in steal 2 years str8 out respect on his name

[@danortega748]

Precisely. That intercepting a pass by bending toward the direction of the ball is one of a kind, can't remember anyone who do it.

[@wearethe9947]

With all respect to Manu the first guy to do eurosteps was sarunas marciulionis (and he was a fucking sniper) and i think you should do a video on him. Generational talent from Lithuania.

[@miltonfuentes5003]

top 5 SG all time!

[@bdictjames]

I disagree with "no advanced moves". Ginobili was a master of creating angles, some of the shots and plays he does, I have not seen any basketball player do. I could not find for a more simple meaning of "advanced". Ginobili's IQ, combined with his lefthandedness, made him one of the most unique players in the history of the game.

[@richardhodges5409]

James Harden real dad

[@kingphil4073]

Your vids got a lot shorter with time. But still very good content. Your "attention to detail " videos use to be 9-12 minutes long. When I read ultimate break down I thought this was gonna be a big video

[@mattroom]

The next video better be about his passing and defense. Those are where he actually influenced the rest of the NBA, along with footwork. By the way, it's actually laughable you guys open the video up saying you broke his game down to a science. Laughable. This is really, really untechincal and honestly shows a high school level understanding of basketball. The NBA has specific offense sets that Manu exploited. You guys only ever focus on a player's individual skills, very rarely about how it fits into a whole NBA scheme.

[@kenny30]

Then make videos as well. Lets see you break down players' games

[@alejandroromero6464]

The video is about Manu, not about NBA schemes.

[@NotOneToFly]

Alejandro Romero Osnaya You don't get it. Manu did specific things on DEFENSE that altered the way offenses were run over the WHOLE NBA. He made specific reads for steals that players like Sefolosha and PG use today. His ease off either foot at any angle or pace are amazing and there are players that try to emulate him on offense, but much of it is unteachable; they're "feel" moves that require creativity in the moment. It's his defensive techniques (and a couple moves like the double-fake pass in P&R) that really altered the NBA.

[@peace_ful_eyes]

@@NotOneToFly I get what you are saying, but this channel breaks down a lot of players really well, iagree the person could have done better with ginobilli but don't judge the channel by one fault

[@mashgral]

Can you make one for Paul Pierce ?

[@Kobesochill]

D Angelo Russell next please

[@santiagogiaccone7549]

Great video. The music not so much.

[@precisionhoops365]

Like Harden he covers so much ground (leaps) explosive with one foot than most with two feet

[@simons5793]

was this the same sample used in water - lil bibby

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

hhh 1 dislike from someone who got dunked on by Manu during his legendary Olympic run.

[@e.i.7876]

unique in every way, but you missed his IQ defense, and passing ability could be more use it.

[@TooCoolToBeAtSchool]

Attention to detail IT3 please
