How does he still give us performances like these at his age, tbh? He can look finished for weeks, but still makes the biggest plays when the pressure is on..

Imagine his prime. :wow
If just one of him or Tony were still in even their post-prime, the team would have something.
He doesn't have quad issues and doesn't listen to his uncleQuote:

Last few glimpses of his unique competitive spirit, tbh...
but could we bump the thread? No, so he's still a scrub.
At the beginning of the game I was calling him finished for shooting a 3 with no legs at all :lol
Yeah, fuck LA. What a slouch.:bangQuote:

I thought it would be Tony stepping up like this tonight after he called out Kawhi in front of the world, tbh..
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.
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.
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.
:toast
if kidd had decided to sign here the spurs would’ve had prime kidd, prime manu, prime timmy...
dude is so special
my all time fav spur. we are so lucky to have him.
i love how awesome the Argentinian fans have been this year. it'll never be the same once he's gone :(
:wowQuote:

To bad David Robinson stopped talking to him citing Deuteronomy 23:1
It’s been amazing watching Ginobili, he looks like he can still play one more year tbh.
hardly unexpected from the most all around skilled player of all times
What a contrast with our egotistical egomaniac “star” bench warmer Kawhi Leonard tbh.

The only question would be durability.
Kawhi makes Manu look like an iron man, though, tbh.Quote:

tbh the way he competed was at an MJ level....what stats do you think super manu (05) would put up in todays league leading a team?
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.Quote:

" I'm not gonna try to block that because I got my rep..." BS . Just play the game for your team.
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.
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.
Lol dumbest post ever. Get out of here you bumQuote:

curious what you think his numbers would be as a no.1?
as for Kawhi ...He's has had better individual seasons then anything Manu has done other then 05
Manu was THE REAL 05 Finals MVP, tbh. TD should've conceded it to him.
"Kawhi homer"? What the fuck does that even mean? I've been a Spurs fan since the 90s. I agree Manu's body of work is better, but in terms of peak performance I give the edge to Kawhi.Quote:

What a leader, tbh... still clutch as hell too, winning us games at 40 y/o
Subbed in for starting pg w 5 sec left. Hilarious. Best spur of all timeQuote:

More. Manu was and still is the competitor of the franchise. You will never see another player that can make the right play and change momentum on both ends of the floor all while being professional and only about wins.Quote:

But the old guy can't comment of that young quiter Kawhi cuz he's the future of the franchise. Lol
Harden is more athletic. Manu is athletic but also more awkward which worked to his advantage.Quote:

And that doesn't even have the blocks nor the acrobatic layups. There's one against Utah (I think), where he does an eurostep, jumps showing the ball up, then double clutches on the air to go underneath the defense to finish with reverse english. I've never seen that shit before.Quote:

Manu has a lot of great playoffs under his belt, along with some real turds. Harden just has turds.
All the good things you said about Harden apply to Manu and then some.Quote:
