John Stockton was a legendary point guard that never got a championship, that would be a good video in the future, I subbed btw 👍

David Robinson

[@mikereyes2488]

One of the most underrated player in the NBA. Its probably because NBA never liked the Spurs (small market) and gave them little to no coverage, here in San Antonio we loved this guy. Also noted he's well respected by other players especially by Kobe

[@hoopkingdom]

I can't wait to see him get inducted into the Hall of Fame

The 6th man that was part of the big three of his team. Parker, Duncan, Ginobili

You just don't see something like that nowadays. Ginobili a legend 💯💯

[@Dukethedaywalker]

He's not my top 10 player of all time in a goat list but he is in my top 10 favorite players of all time, even being a piston fan. His play style was just too hard to hate lol

[@hoopkingdom]

Well said, he was so fun to watch!

[@jesuschristdestroysmarxism3916]

He's my favorite all-time player absolutely one of the best shooting guards of all time and most people's opinions that no basketball they agree that even Kobe even said it the late Kobe Bryant had said he put MJ first he put himself second he said Manu Ginobili was a very close third he said Manu was the hardest to guard and the hardest to play against and I agree with that I will put them third all time I think those great know what they were talking about ::UPDATE.

I can't believe Manu was left out of the top 75 NBA players list.

[@papoemoney4107]

Wow didn't realize how underrated he really was he has so many wins achievement he definitely deserves a hall of fame he clearly helped four championships he created the euro step and some other movements he was already doing it before wade

[@hoopkingdom]

The fact that he carried Argentina to beat Team USA in the Olympics still boggles my mind

[@VF1sRoyFokker1]

I cried like a baby that night! We re really pride of Manu & the golden generations here in Argentina!

[@chrishooge3442]

My favorite player of all time...but I'm from San Antonio.

[@agustinrafaelle5396]

Ginobiliiiiiiiiii

[@marconavaleza6826]

I saw a clip where a coach asks his team during a timeout about who can guard Manu and when a player volunteers himself to guard Manu, the coach said "No, not you", and if you're Manu, if an opposing coach ask his team who can guard you, you must have been a very good player.

[@hoopkingdom]

Got the opposing team shook

[@MrRockleyend]

That was Manu in his youngster years, playig against Boca Juniors after he when to Italy

[@mrsir7023]

​@@MrRockleyend After es después, before es antes :)

[@R.Dasher]

Best player of all time at his prime. Bar none!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hoopkingdom]

Yessssirrr

[@Ninja636RR]

One of the rare lefties in the league at the time. He always hustled by the way, never took a play off as well..

[@hoopkingdom]

His hustle was always inspirational to see on the court

[@jasontran4525]

HOLY 4:11 he does a base line pass that 3 defenders didn't see coming. one of the best passes I've ever seen.

[@blinksstayfresh2524]

Dude was a killer.

Absolutely!

One of my favorite manu

[@eldragondeloeste8749]

In 2019, Diego Maradona said that Ginobili was the best athlete in Argentina's history, putting him over people like Messi, Fangio, Luciana Aimar, Del Potro, Vilas, "Maravilla" Martinez, and, well, himself

[@danortega748]

As a ginobili fan had read so much and understand how coaching is a small part in his rise to stardom.

[@toastedtarts4044]

He actually made it look easy, not as much as MJ but still teams looked like they struggled against Manu.

[@hoopkingdom]

They definitely struggled guarding him! His moves were just so unconventional and there's a reason he's credited with introducing the OG euro step to the NBA 💪

[@mariano4519]

And NBA snubbed him from 75 all time picking Lillard and Davis instead of him..

[@hoopkingdom]

Definitely got snubbed

[@chamboy16]

harden, melo, allen, davis, lillard were all there and the muche greater and better Manu wsn’t

Nice capsule and salute. He was one of my absolute favorite guys to watch, ever. I'd like to see you deep dive and profile The Forgotten Greats; starting with Jamal Wilkes, Sidney Moncrief, and Marques Johnson. There's probably so little overall footage of each, you may get 3 in 1 episode.

[@spectre4627]

Manu Ginobili and Jason Williams are the 2 dudes that'll make you scratch your head. 2 of my favorite players all time and I hated them coz I'm a Lakers fan but I appreciate their greatness.
