    Though at people thinking Lowe is good again now that he posted a pro-Spurs piece.
    Manu/Patty/Tiago/Boris was an awesome crew. Sad it's only down to 2 of them and probably 0 next summer.

    I thought it was sort of a general consensus that Lowe is one of the best mainstream basketball writers around (granted that's not saying much given the average basketball writer). Have people here disliked him in the past?

    Agreed, I've never had any beef with Lowe - positive Spurs article or negative.

    He whiffed on the minivan thing... IIRC, Manu twins were born in 2010... but it's nitpicking on an otherwise incredible piece about an incredible player...

    Or maybe Manu called his shot way back then.

    Checked the thread. Never even posted there. Probably because it didn't mean anything.

    Guessing it happened during the SAS/DAL game in November. (Twins were born in May).

    Lowe's dad has a ridiculous record as a HS swim/water polo coach (31 swimming state les in 43 seasons) and also won NFL teacher of the year - was Steve Young's calculus teacher. It explains Lowe's tweets during Olympics about swimming and water polo and also his drive to be the best sports writer, period.

    Great read, thanks for posting it..

    Not only is he one of the most compe ive players in NBA history, but stylistically speaking, he's probably the 2nd most influential player of the previous era, only behind Kobe..

    The most unselfish player to ever play in the NBA, as well..his Gold medal feat in 2004 was the greatest accomplishment I've ever seen on a basketball court, defeating a team with 2 of the 5 best players in NBA history(Duncan and Lebron), along with several other HOFers and MVPs..unbelievable..

    As for me, my favorite quote is: "I just play the game the only way I know," Ginobili said. "And I have no regrets."

    I'm tryna think of all the different young, new and/or emerging players who have said Manu was one of, if not their favorite player: James Harden, D'Angelo Russell, Gordon Hayward, Dante Exum, Evan Turner, Sergey Karasev...man, seeing all that love makes me happy lol. Even with all the celebs, the numerous name drops in music, Diana Taurasi, Lady Gaga....man, lol
