I thought it would be Tony stepping up like this tonight after he called out Kawhi in front of the world, tbh..

[SAGirl]

There's no need to throw shade at anyone. Everyone but Aldridge is inconsistent enough that different people have stepped up on different nights. (Hopefully at least Rudy gets consistent bc the team needs him)...
But anyways the point is that there will probably be opportunities for others to also step up.... Whether they do or not still to be seen. I hope Grandpa Juice isn't the only one who still got it.

[cd98]

He can’t do it every game, but every 8-10 games he gives us one of those vintage Manu games. Gonna suck when he retires at the end of the season and it’s Kawhi’s fault he won’t go out on top.

[BD24]

Its pretty amazing tbh. My brother in law and I went to the Spurs/Lakers game this year (hes a lakers fan) and we both commented on how amazing it is that he is still competing like this, taking charges, etc at his age. Remarkable dude.

[TMTTRIO]

I love how he can miss every shot but when they really need one he seems to pull a shot or play out of nowhere. Amazing he can still do it at 40. I'm going to enjoy watching him play for these last few games because I really see him retiring at the end of the season. He seems really frustrated and exhausted with the season.

On the season, both are scoring about the same. Tony is shooting better than Manu and leading the team in assists, but he’s not hitting the shot-clock with game-winning attempts, so it’s hard to compare the two.

Duncan then Manu.

Both have also failed to put some very important games away but they never gave up. And neither afraid to look bad helping the team. Both had the guts to look very bad on some nights. Can't understate this character in an NBA where a guy gets posterized and feels like a fool after the game even though the team gets a win. The player only remembers that he looked bad. " I'm not gonna try to block that because I got my rep..." BS . Just play the game for your team.

[pgardn]

People also forget that Manu's ankles were torn up as well.

He goes down as the 3rd or 4th all time great Spur.

Duncan
Robinson
Manu/ Gervin

These 4 jerseys before all the others IMO.

And to think some morons on here were trying to anoint Crybaby Kawhi as a greater Spur than Manu based on their current bodies of work. It’s really disgusting when you think about it. Manu is 10 times the player that egomaniac is.

[Arcadian]

Based on his back-to-back DPOY seasons, Finals MVP, and top 3 MVP votes for two seasons... Yes, Kawhi is the 3rd best Spur. I agree it's harder to say that after this season, but it doesn't negate it.

What Harden has is that he's deceptively quick, great finisher in the paint, gets to the line constantly and is a very high % FT shooter, can hit the 3 at a better than average clip and has good court awareness. He can't defend for shit, but that's about all he cannot do. He's yet to put any of that to work in the post season and make it count. Seems to fold there. Manu has a lot of great playoffs under his belt, along with some real turds. Harden just has turds.

It’s not a matter of whether he can play, but at his age, what are you playing for? Kawhi leaves and this team is likely a lottery team. Does he comeback to play for a lottery team? No. It's largely about whether the Spurs look like a true contender, but that feels like a long shot right now.

I don't know why are so many people acting as if Manu is going to retire. With the way he played this season he probably feels like he still has one more season in him.

I think he came back feeling the team had another year of contention. I'd be very surprised to see Manu come back if Leonard is gone though, despite him still being a quality player who could give the team another year. Especially since his contract is only $2.5 million.

Great 4th quarter :toast

If more the greedy sob would come back if 15 million not 2.5 million

Great on long rest will play bad Tuesday

Play Tuesday then sat would play great sat imo

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If this season the Spurs weren't a lottery team, what makes you think that next season, with whatever we get for Kawhi, we will be?

Also, Manu has said before that at this point of his career he just plays for pleasure.

He went through a LOT of bullshit this year with the Kawhi situation, wouldn't surprise me if it burned him. Spurs need to do a hard reset over the summer, but I hope Manu comes back, my favorite player of all time.

It's entirely possible that Parker retires before he does. Guy doesn't know the meaning of quit. What a badass. Aging like a good scotch tbqh.

I'm more interested in imagining what his stats would look like if he was in his prime on today's NBA, tbh. His style of play is just perfect for the way the game is being playing right now. Case in point: Manu 0.2, AKA: James Harden.

For the Spurs, he would be a better offensive option than Aldridge, imho.
I agree. He’d probably score 35 a game in today’s pussy league tbh.

[Dingle Barry]

Unreal there are Spurs fans ITT saying Harden more athletic than Prime Manu. Absolutely retarded.

[Dingle Barry]

It’s not a matter of whether he can play, but at his age, what are you playing for? Kawhi leaves and this team is likely a lottery team. Does he comeback to play for a lottery team? No. It's largely about whether the Spurs look like a true contender, but that feels like a long shot right now.

For the love of the game.

It’s because they’re racists.

At face value it looks like Parker is aging more rapidly than Manu so it's possible. Granted, I believe point guards wear and tear faster than other more static players - but compared to a shooting guard it's very close

[tholdren]

Based on his back-to-back DPOY seasons, Finals MVP, and top 3 MVP votes for two seasons... Yes, Kawhi is the 3rd best Spur. I agree it's harder to say that after this season, but it doesn't negate it.

Dumber every time i read this shit.

You would think that, being an overly emotional bitch.

I really think he's played better the past two seasons than in 2015 and 2016. I really think he should keep playing. Take it year by year. Just sign one year deals.

Anyway, first thing I wanted to post on Spurstalk after just watching the game right now - Amazing performance from Manu. Spurs played great as a team and it was good to see them make some outside shots this game. Keep it up and try and bring even more effort to game 5. You never know what can happen. Just play as hard as you can and see what happens.

Pretty sad, tbh.

Spurs were close to a lottery team. They barely made the playoffs. Trading Kawhi would likely mean young, unproven assets, which means growing pains and losing. I think he loves to play because of the rush of games like today, games that matter. But when you aren’t playing games that matter, it’s all grind. At that point, why not just enjoy your family and find yourself a challenge in a different aspect of basketball. I just feel like it’s the end mostly bc I think it’s the end of the Spurs era, and I won’t be surprised if both Pop and Manu walk away after this year.

[emanueldavidginobili]

I honestly doubt he plays another season. I think Pops wife passing away actually will be a factor in his decision to return. I think he says screw the basketball and just enjoys life with his family.

Yeah that's an instant classic
Manu always has these expressions of wild joy during big games and it makes me think he's still a kid having fun at heart.. Could see one more year, dude lives for this shit like a viking
