"As of now, Ginobili is one of only five players (http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/psl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=combined&type=totals&per_minute_base=36&per_poss_base=100&lg_id=NBA&is_playoffs=N&year_min=&year_max=&franch_id=&season_start=1&season_end=-1&age_min=0&age_max=99&height_min=0&height_max=99&shoot_hand=&birth_country_is=Y&birth_country=&birth_state=&college_id=&is_active=&debut_yr_nba_start=&debut_yr_nba_end=&debut_yr_aba_start=&debut_yr_aba_end=&is_hof=&is_as=&as_comp=gt&as_val=&award=&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&qual=&c1stat=pts_per_g&c1comp=gt&c1val=14&c2stat=stl_per_g&c2comp=gt&c2val=1&c3stat=trb_per_g&c3comp=gt&c3val=3.5&c4stat=ast_per_g&c4comp=gt&c4val=4&c5stat=&c5comp=gt&c6mult=1.0&c6stat=&order_by=ts_pct) to average at least 14 points, 3.5 rebounds, four assists and one steal while maintaining a true shooting percentage of 58 or better for his career. The other four: Stephen Curry (http://bleacherreport.com/stephen-curry), James Harden (http://bleacherreport.com/james-harden), LeBron James and Magic Johnson."
"Five players (http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/psl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=combined&type=totals&per_minute_base=36&per_poss_base=100&lg_id=NBA&is_playoffs=Y&year_min=&year_max=&franch_id=&season_start=1&season_end=-1&age_min=0&age_max=99&height_min=0&height_max=99&shoot_hand=&birth_country_is=Y&birth_country=&birth_state=&college_id=&is_active=&debut_yr_nba_start=&debut_yr_nba_end=&debut_yr_aba_start=&debut_yr_aba_end=&is_hof=&is_as=&as_comp=gt&as_val=&award=&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&qual=&c1stat=pts_per_g&c1comp=gt&c1val=15&c2stat=stl_per_g&c2comp=gt&c2val=1&c3stat=trb_per_g&c3comp=gt&c3val=4&c4stat=ast_per_g&c4comp=gt&c4val=4&c5stat=&c5comp=gt&c6mult=1.0&c6stat=&order_by=ts_pct) have also averaged at least 15 points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal with a true shooting percentage of 58 or better in the postseason. Ginobili is one of them, and he joins Curry, Harden, Johnson and Chris Paul (http://bleacherreport.com/chris-paul). Johnson and Ginobili are the only two to sustain those benchmarks through 75 or more contests.Among all guards, Ginobili ranks sixth all time (http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/psl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=combined&type=totals&per_minute_base=36&per_poss_base=100&lg_id=NBA&is_playoffs=Y&year_min=&year_max=&franch_id=&season_start=1&season_end=-1&age_min=0&age_max=99&height_min=0&height_max=99&shoot_hand=&birth_country_is=Y&birth_country=&birth_state=&college_id=&is_active=&debut_yr_nba_start=&debut_yr_nba_end=&debut_yr_aba_start=&debut_yr_aba_end=&is_hof=&is_as=&as_comp=gt&as_val=&award=&pos_is_g=Y&qual=&c1stat=&c1comp=gt&c1val=&c2stat=&c2comp=gt&c2val=&c3stat=&c3comp=gt&c3val=&c4stat=&c4comp=gt&c4val=&c5stat=&c5comp=gt&c6mult=1.0&c6stat=&order_by=ws) in playoff win shares with 19.3, just behind Dwyane Wade (http://bleacherreport.com/dwyane-wade)'s 19.8. That, for the record, puts Ginobili ahead of Parker—who ranks 14th with 12.7—despite the former logging nearly 2,000 fewer minutes of postseason action."
"To this day, he still owns one of the best seasons the league has ever seen from any player age 30 or older. He closed out the 2007-08 campaign averaging 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals with a true shooting percentage of 61.2.
Only two other players (http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/psl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=single&type=totals&per_minute_base=36&per_poss_base=100&lg_id=NBA&is_playoffs=N&year_min=&year_max=&franch_id=&season_start=1&season_end=-1&age_min=30&age_max=99&height_min=0&height_max=99&shoot_hand=&birth_country_is=Y&birth_country=&birth_state=&college_id=&is_active=&debut_yr_nba_start=&debut_yr_nba_end=&debut_yr_aba_start=&debut_yr_aba_end=&is_hof=&is_as=&as_comp=gt&as_val=&award=&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&qual=&c1stat=pts_per_g&c1comp=gt&c1val=19.4&c2stat=ast_per_g&c2comp=gt&c2val=4.4&c3stat=trb_per_g&c3comp=gt&c3val=4.5&c4stat=stl_per_g&c4comp=gt&c4val=1.4&c5stat=&c5comp=gt&c6mult=1.0&c6stat=&order_by=ts_pct) in that same age group have matched those statistical touchstones: Larry Bird and Johnson. That was still only good enough for All-NBA third-team consideration."
