Im trying to be all centered here but heck. He has been more important than points. Running the team and anticipating plays, like Boris. He's a fucking warriors and everyone should see how much more important he is than scoring.

Ole Manu! Had a fabulous game. Very pleased and happy for dear old Manu.

[TJastal]

I never wavered in my support of Manu. It was clear last year he had no point guard help last year and the bench was a com0lete sham bles which put too much pressure on him. With Mills settling the point guard position and Bellinelli helping out as well Manu was able to be fresh all year long and much more effective. I hope he can keep up this level of play for another year or two.

It's a reverse Simpsons quote. "Were they booing or were they saying Manuuuuuu?"

Probably one of the posters in here was Hans Moleman booing.

[OldSilentHill]

Patty Mills is garbage.

FTW is that signature??

Kawi, Tim and Manu were gods this finals.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I would like to officially post here - Manu had a huge hand in turning this game upside down for the Heat - they never recovered after the layup, the dunk, and the 3.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Ginooooooooobili! Love the passion
On my twitter feed I read

[Malik Hairston]

Can't ever doubt his effort and heart, tbh..we just need a GreatYacht thread appreciating Manu to cap this title off:lol..

[AFBlue]

I'll happily eat crow tbqh. I was one of the biggest detractors when he got his new deal because he just looked flat out done last year. He was a net negative in the playoffs last year overall and played a key part in the 6 debacle.

But, he was a fucking beast tonight and really since the playoffs began. He played intelligent, aggressive ball for long stretches and keyed some big momentum swings with BIG 3s. His aggressiveness tonight, culminating with the flush was a thing of beauty.

To all you Manutards and to the man himself, I apologize for not believing...thinking he was done physically, thinking there's no way he'd come back mentally, and thinking he took advantage of the Spurs' loyalty with that contract.

I will never again doubt. Cheers to a truly great competitor and player. He came bavk from the dead to help deliver 5. God bless Manu Ginobili.

[baseline bum]

Client shitting on Bosh and saving the game down 16 more than completely erases 8

[MannyIsGod]

I was mad last season at Manu, no doubt. I was more mad when he signed his contract. But fuck man, he came out and played so much better. Manu is one of the greatest of all time. I'm glad he's going to be a Spur for life. One of the big reasons the Spurs were better this year was because Manu was better. The guy is amazing.

[Johnny RIngo]

When Ginobili's healthy, dude is just unstoppable. Kept us alive in the Mavs series. Closed out the Thunder on their homecourt. 2013 is forgiven as far as I'm concerned. Incredible comeback year for him.

[DAF86]

I think Manu tied Kobe as the player with the 3rd most amount of 3's in the playoffs. I can't find that fucking thread with the list.

[Johnny RIngo]

You're right. I was hoping he'd hit another three tonight so he could pass up Kirby. List is here:

[Uriel]

We already know TP's gonna rest this offseason. Hopefully Manu follows suit and opts not to play for the national team. That way, we'll have a fully rested Big 3 come next season and will be a legitimate threat for a repeat.

[DAF86]

http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/fg3_career_p.html

28 to catch Miller. Pretty damn doable.

[TJastal]

I would have awarded Manu the mvp of the series. Leonard may have been the most consustent player in the series but without Manu's legendary 1st quarter performance tonight the spurs likely would have never fought out of that 22-6 hole they were dug into and it is very likely they lose that game and from there who knows what could have happened with momentum turning to the heat's favor.

[SpursRock20]

GINOOOOOOOOOOBILI!!!! The dude is the man. He IS the reason the Spurs turned it around before it began to get ugly. Leonard deserves the Finals MVP, but man, Manu is a close damn second place.

A repeat is the only thing that hasxeluded thd spurs all these years. Somd say you aren't as real champion until you've defended a title. That should provide somd extra motivation fo4 next season.

It's possible. Manu hit 41 threes in these playoffs. I don't think he'll ever have that much again but, assuming Spurs go on another deep run, I could see him making anywhere between 25 and 30 threes. Over his 11 year playoff career, Manu averages 26 threes per post-season. Pretty close to that 28 number to catch Miller.

Manu was great, I need that awesome dunk in a gif.

[Raven]

to me, he's the best player ever to play the game. Flat out the most exiting player ever, just a joy to watch on every game and there is no downside to his game both on and off the court. He's a shell of his former self now, but that shell is still good enough to dominate in the finals. Props to my favourite player all time, i'll be sad when you retire, but it's been a honor to be a part of the era he played in.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

That Dunk got me off my seat. It reminded me of the first dunk Manu caused that reaction from me, that reverse dunk he had against the Lakers in the '03 playoff series.

Tx for posting the link. It is not my video thou it was posted in an arg newspaper

[SouthernFried]

I didn't need Manu to even show up to this game to appreciate all he has done for the Spurs. He already proved himself a very long time ago. He could do no wrong in my book, even if he was throwing the ball into the cheap seats. Same with Duncan. Tho, I'm sure glad they both had great games. I'm just happy for them. They deserve it all.

Be interesting to see how Miami treats Wade after all he's done for that team.

[SouthernFried]

That Video encapsulates who Ginobili has always been.

Good job.

Behind the back dribbles, nutmegs, no look passes, shoot 3s, eurosteps, dunks, sometimes uses his right, plays PG, he block and steal, is a good defender when the hell Lebron or Jordan did that?, and even being so fucking gifted he plays team ball is a competitor by nature makes teammates better, game 5 was horrible ´till Manu stepped into the court and everytime he left Spurs suffered.
I pick Manu on my team over Lebronas Klobes and Jordies.
True talent over manufactured stars.
And he does all that with a massive nose covering his eyes I mean what else can someone ask?

[TVI]

El Nono with the goods! Manu single handedly turned the game around for the Spurs after the starters crapped their pants in the first half of the 1st quarter.

[EVAY]

The greatest true warrior I have ever seen in a Spurs uniform. Bar none.

guy just makes you proud that you are a fan of the team he is on.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

What a comeback season for him. Redemption feels so good.

[TVI]

Yeah, there is that. And I don't think Wade is going to renegotiate his contract to free up cap space either. Well, good for him...and the Spurs :)If he doesn't, Lebron bolts. Can't see him carrying Wade for two more years.

Manu fuckin Ginobili.... highest +/- of any player in the Finals

It's about time you took back all the BS you kept maligning Manu about this year.

And it's very telling that Hater and skull are conspicuously absent from this thread.

I was nervous about the Spurs giving this one up until that Manu dunk. At that point, winning game 5 and the championship was a matter of letting the clock run out.

To the real 2005 Finals MVP (even though I love TD).

[SpurOutofTownFan]

this is obviously great vindication for so many people who understand and love Manu. He has been bastardized in these forums for far too long by people who believe know about BB, but most importantly, by people who believe they understand the guy.

it wouldn't be too far fetched to say the Spurs probably wouldn't have won any of the finals they've won since 2003 without Manu.

so, for those who have hated on the guy for so long, you know who you are, and you know how wrong you are - go fucking bend over now.

[superbigtime]

I've always loved Manu but after last year, I really thought he was done. Oft injured with increasing erratic play, I just wanted to remember him the way he was. The whole team, but Manu in particular, showed incredible resilience and resolve all season and proved their greatness. Manu is one of the all time greats, and I am so glad that he came back and kicked ass! Ole ole ole Manu!

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

If this is the CoM official parade, then let me proceed into the good ole drunken rant while threating people with a broken bottle. I'm going off on one here, because I wasn't around for last years Finals -serious family health related issues-.

Manu's last year playoffs were not as bad as some people try to make them look. He did have some issues with turnovers, but they weren't all his fault. Many times the player that had to roll, make a basket cut or move into a position to show himself open, was instead standing in the corner like Bruce Bowen did in the Spurs of old. He was the only reliable ballhandler, playmaker and scorer getting minutes apart from Tony. Manu was made the scapegoat of the collapse, when the responsabilities should've been shared among the team. There were plenty of mistakes committed by several players and the coaching staff, but the only one being clearly targeted was Manu. Of course, when you get used to years of high standards, you get dissapointed if things don't work the way you expected. But this is what the Spurs have been about all these years, if they lose and go through hard times, just shake them off and keep coming back every year. But there's no way I will allow that big piece of lie to stand, that delusional idea that Manu was responsible for the Spurs not ringing in 2013. Whenever that junk is repeated, or even suggested, I will go down on your ass like a 36-year old left-handed Argentinian on Chris Bosh. :ihit

Now bartender gimme some more of that booze! I love you all guys :cry
