Klay Thompson mentions Manu Ginobili saying he, Warriors will sacrifice to win

**Diego20** · 07-21-2016

Wait, people are actually arguing this?

Alphompson scored 37 in a quarter and carried his team back from a 1-3 deficit against OKC. He outplayed the unanimous MVP, while Manure never outplayed TiMVP and MVParker, ever.

Except he did, in 2005 playoffs?

I just find it a little funny when today's NBA stars talk about "sacrifce." Players in the 60s worked regular jobs during the off season to earn extra cash. Nowadays, "sacrifice" means instead of earning 50 times more than the President of the United States you're willing to settle for making 45 times what the President makes... There's really no substantial sacrifice being made, except in terms of ego. There are very few things in this world you can do with $130 mil that you can't do with $123 mil.

And even a neutral fan would agree Alphompson >>>>>> prime Manure

Klaynus was part of that squad that went scoreless for the last 5 minutes of game 7.
Manu had a bad game but there was a game 7 and he didnt disappear there, MVPorker did.

Klaynus lost a final while in his prime in a stacked team vs a ty Cavs team, bloodfarted his soul at the moment Lebron looked at him.
Manu had a horrible game 6 but he was 254 years old vs a fully stacked CHeat team, Klaynus will be retired and buried long before reaching that age.

Not sure why the Klay hate. He's complimenting Manu's will to win.

**InRareForm** · 07-21-2016

But are they better than showtime?

Easier said than done Klay, let´s see if he actually does it.

What he said:
“I know how good I am in this league. I’m not going to judge my performance off numbers or anything. If we get wins, it really doesn’t matter, man. It’s all good….

“I look at a guy like Manu Ginobili who came off the bench almost his entire career,” Thompson said. “Never averaged more than 20 points a game, but he’s a four-time champion, you know? He could have easily been on another team and averaged 25 a game, but he sacrificed to win, and that’s what I expect to do next year. I don’t care about averaging 25 or even 20. I just want to finish it out and get back to the Finals and enjoy that ride.”

Future Spur. Imagine Kawhi and Klay as your perimeter defenders.

He did win a ring when he completely sucked on the Finals, and lost one when he was actually playing great...

The 4 of them won't be at $140 mil, more like less than $100 mil, they'll have some money to play with.
