2nd year Manu alongside Hart, Heal (who the fuck is that?), Rose and Nesterovic battling Shaq, Kobe, Malone and Payton.

One of those rare youtube gems that are worth sharing.

I saw some bad defense from Kobe in there.

Thanks for posting. Nice video.:toast

Broski, I was at that game, ill never forget it cause i was with my friend and he was bitching that it was getting to late so we left. can you believe that shit? Holyshit he was playing out of his mind, bitching kobe every where. can you say nut meg?

[therealtruth]

Good find. It kind of shows you what Ginobili could have done without Tony and Tim and if he had been the man. I think the Spurs limited how great he could have been individually.

I was at this game... if I remember correctly, we lost, but no one really gave a shit afterwards after seeing Manu play like that. This is also the day I bought my first Ginobili jersey. Thanks for the video brotha.

Shane Heal...aussie scrub, who got into barkleys grill during the sydney games...lmao

whose the scrub sittin next to duncan?

[FkLA]

Still remember this game tbh. Nlgga took the fantastic four down to the wire on his own, I wasnt even mad after the loss...it was a great moral victory.

The only thing that has held Manu back is whats holding him back now: his inability to keep his body in top condition and play 35 minutes a night.

[DAF86]

You forgot his ability to tip.

[Mark in Austin]

This is one of my top three favorite Spurs games ever. Manu takes 4 HOF'ers to 2OT with Horry, Malik & a bunch of D-League talent? Just awesome.

You forgot his ability to tip.

:lol

[dunkman]

Great player, too bad he gets injured often.

Lol. You mean Anthony Carter or the scrub in street clothes?

I remember everyone was totally impressed with Hart after that game, too.

So Ginobili could have done without himself?
I think you meant Tony.

Just frickin amazing. Undervalued and underrated still to this day. Hate on him for his injuries all you want. Dude gets hurt because he plays with more heart and tenacity than anyone else, every frickin play, every loose ball, BOTH sides of the court. All heart. As he said once before, that's the only way he knows how to play. I'd rather have that than some selfish prima donna from any of those other teams.

Manu frickin Ginobili, enjoy this dude while we still can.

:flag:

To this day, can't believe we lost that game. I felt like we had lost a playoff game after that loss, just because Manu played with so much heart and he deserved it so much. Still, awesome performance from an awesome player....flashes of 2005 SuperManu right there.

[urunobili]

let me guess, the Spurs lost in OT with Pop getting outcoached? :rolleyes

[TMTTRIO]

I always did enjoy watching Manu go up against the Lakers. I think it was that game he got into trash talking with Gary Payton and didn't let up. I don't think it was this game but this has always been one of my favorite dunks (along with the one on Yao). I never get tired of his crazy highlights. Sad to see that it is coming to an end soon :(.

I still remember Payton yakking with Manu on that game... they got double technicals... I guess Gary didn't appreciate some euro white boy shitting all over him.

[wildbill2u]

When he retires we will not see his like again in a Spurs uniform and maybe not in the NBA.

[8FOR!3]

Did OP seriously just ask who the fuck Shane Heal is? He's the fucking hammer man.

You know it! Thanks....:toast

[Spur_Fanatic]

I remember that game, was a great moral victory (cause we lost it).

[ALVAREZ6]

Great fuckin game, he was a monster that night. Shat on that whole Laker team with prime Shaq and Kobe. Manu seems to step his game up, at least the intensity, against the Lakers. Might not be true, it's just a perception I've always had.

Is this the game where Kobe falls down walking backwards while he is wagging his finger Mutombo-style?

[Sean Cagney]

Good find. It kind of shows you what Ginobili could have done without Tony and Tim and if he had been the man. I think the Spurs limited how great he could have been individually.

Yeah individually yes! But without TIM it would been this here! A great night all around but a loss in OT, he would been a great numbers guy without rings! Yeah Tim held im back! I agree but dumb post at the same time! It's not about numbers but a win and a title, and for that we needed all three of them! Individual yeah cool, but I will take the three and the titles.

[Sean Cagney]

Nothing to look forward to, so why not live in the past.

You might as well be there now since your team will NOT win jack this year! I mean barring a trade LA is done as well IMO as far as titles go so.... What does this say?

BTW one of my games I will never foget is this one, I remember where I was upstairs and all of this game, just one I will not forget. I will not forget the one with TIm and Tony out either where we beat Dallas in 04! I think we dropped all three early to them with them out in a few and then beat them badly the last game with Manu and Horry! A weird year that was there.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

He is my all time favorite player.

I grew up watching the Spurs beginning in the mid to late 90's, but he was unlike anything I had seen the Spurs have before.

I wish he could keep playing for another 10 years.
