One more year Ginobili!! If not its been a hell of a ride man. I been a Spurs fan since 89 and i can honestly say there will never be a team like those Spurs of old " 99 - 2014 and there will never be another Manu Ginobili. GINOBILI!!!!

[@john976431]

I'm a bulls fan. Every time I'd see the Spurs face off against my team I'd be like oh we're in trouble. Ginobili is one of my favorite players. And I never thought losing to the Spurs would be a bad thing because I always was entertained watching the Spurs play when you had Tony Manu and Tim on the court. It was one of those rare moments where you cheer for your team but you're impressed at the other team and what they were doing

It should've been called "The Manu Step" in the first place.

Actually the original euro step was Marciulionis Sarunas

Elgin. I did it the 70s and would always get called for traveling. Just like trying the leg out leaning fade away that Bobby Dandridge did...foul! Now Dirk is going to the HoF for it.

[@Cavsfan02]

Durant isn't in the same sentence as LeBron, Kobe, Jordan, Duncan, bird, Kareem, Wilt, etc. I don't even think he's top 20. He's a great and a future hofer because of that snake move. But all time great? He doesn't deserve that much respect. Given the little he does deserve.

I am a die hard Lakers' fan and Manu Ginobli is one of those players that I can be a fan of too, he was amazing.

[@myviewsonly8980]

I know Manu through some good friends. He's always out with his kids, riding bikes, golf cart, taking care of his family which is what I respect about him most. So glad to have had such an amazing man and player in our organization and city. Thank you Manu, whatever you decide, you gave us your all.

[@richardcurviel1097]

@noree beab He is Top 5 SG. You got Kobe, Jordan, Wade, And Manu on top. If you don't remember you should go back and watch some old highlights of him. He was just underrated becasue of how pop used him as a spark off the bench as a sixth man. Let's also not forget he brought the euro step and behind the back popular in the NBA. And you see guys like Harden who were influenced by these moves
