37 years old, yet he's still diving on the floor all game for loose balls, flopping everywhere, taking big hits, sacrificing his body, etc..

In a league where some players take games off with :(sore ribs:(, it's an honor to watch a player like Manu Ginobili giving it 100% in meaningless regular season games, tbh..

We'll never see a player like him again:toast

Warrior, tbh... and he didn't have a great game, but went ahead an nailed that dagger 3 that put the game away... Spurs shouldn't rely on a 37 year old dude to close games, but unfortunately, not a lot of options right now...

Even when he struggles, though, it's nice to see this nigga diving on the floor and playing like it's game 7, every single game, tbh..

Some players are only 32 years old, and use injuries as excuses..

Best at Recognizing mismatches IMO..

Kawhi had the ball in the post a few times because manu directed the play to him when Kawhi had robinson/lawson..Not dribble the ball for 20 seconds.

Yeah that's the one thing you can never criticize Manu for...he might play like a jackass at times, but at least he's always giving his 110% out there.

In terms of competitiveness, Manu is right up there with anyone in the history of the league.

Duncan and Manu made for a fantastic big two in the mid-2000s. Probably would have repeated too if the role players weren't so shitty back then(Parker, Finley, Udoka etc). It's amazing that they're still carrying the Spurs into deep playoff runs despite being in their late 30s.

He has this competitive gene in him that is possessed only by a few in the league. Kobe has it too, but he also has got egoism bound with it. What makes Manu different is that his competitive gene makes him thrive in a team setting and brings the best out of his colleagues.

Very unique sportsman. Very few in the world have this degree of competitiveness, ego-suppression for the betterment of the team and generally a well rounded individualism. And the guy makes love to pressure too.

Props to Manu!

Shooting under 50%, 6 assists on 4 turnovers. This performance should bring his season fg% to 40.5 :tu

As much as I have a love/hate relationship with Ginobili, he is one of a kind. Dude looks like he can continue to play a couple more seasons still, and is still one of the best playmakers in the league imo.

Too bad James Harden turned into a ugly ball hogging playoff choking faggot who has played for two teams I hate in OKC and Houston. I really thought if anyone came close to be a exciting player like Manu it would of been him, but he chose to just want to score a lot of points in the regular season and not play defense.

All well said. Manu is a class act, team first guy who is as competitive as they come. That is also a description of Duncan. We Spurs fans have been truly blessed.

Indeed. TD is equally as competitive as Manu, if not better. Just that Manu is a bit more exciting and flashy while TD is staid, solid and consistent. It is going to be a big nightmare for Pop & RCB to find replacements if TD & Manu retire sometime soon (maybe in the next 2 years). I suspect, Pop might just want to hold on to both of them in some kind of roles in the Spurs organization. Manu is definitely coaching material, while TD would be a great big man development coach once he hangs up his boots.

Good game from him ... now, next time he gets the ball in a close game and the Spurs are behind 2 points I would like him to attack the basket rather than trying to win the game with a herky-jerk three ... cmon, Manu, you can still do it

smh.... I guess in the OP when you mention the 32 y/o with sore ribs you are not turning it into Tony vs. Manu...

not sure why you are acting like a virgin... you are running a Parker sucks and is a vagina schtick and making a great success with the Tony Parker sucks crew, no need to put vanila on it... :cry nobody mentioned Parker :cry Parker is one of my favorite player :cry

With the schedule that the team has upcoming, do you think that Parker should play on a "mild strain", risking further damage to it, or do you believe, as many here do, that we are better off without him, and that his "excuses" for not playing should actually help the team?

I said in the other thread that if he's not healthy, he should sit down. I was just pointing out the "official" reason the team gave for his absence was a strained hammy, not a rib issue, tbh...

I have no horse in this race, tbh...

One of the best competitors of all time, no denying that.

And the organization thanks him by not letting him have a last go with his national team, which is like his family. And Pop thanks him by making fun of his play in interviews. Meanwhile sucks Duncan's cock at every opportunity.

Its really hard to be a Manu fan. I almost stopped cheering for Spurs after that happened

Eh, it's Pop who's relying on Manu too much. Should use the RS for other players.
