Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week
Basically, unless it's Jordan or someone coming off the bench due to coming back from injury...it hasn't happened since these lists have been kept.

My bad. I mistook your statement as propping yourself up for having found that. My apologies for my over-sensitivity.
Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week
Manu deserves POTW. Sad that it takes a 12 game win streak to get anyone's attention!
Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week
Move Manu to the bench and he gets POTW in addition to bumping up his shooting percentages as well as his assist and scoring produciton. Hell, he's in the running for a year-end honor now. Will the CoM congregation want Manu to give the Sixth Man Award back because it's beneath him?

Can he win 6th man of the year if he hasnt been coming off the bench all year?
Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week
Good question. If he doesn't miss any more games, it looks like he'll have played 41 games from the bench while starting 36 games. All he has to do is play 37 games from the bench if you choose to believe wikipedia. Haven't bothered to look elsewhere.

Interesting question. I think this is a weird situation. If he continues coming off the bench, there can't be any argument against a sixth man award consideration. And yet Brent Barry calls himself "window dressing" for Manu. I don't know any other way to put it than Manu would not be your traditional sixth man award winner.
Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week
I think he will get alot of attention since the current streak is roughly coinciding with his coming from the bench and the resulting boost in his stats. I would guess many sportswriters will connect the dots accordingly.

Hasn't Gordon come off the bench the entire year? I'd think he'd be tough to beat but I really haven't been paying that much attention to the 6th man competition.

No, Gordon has started over 1/2 the games he's played in.
The leading candidates for 6th man are Manu, Barbosa and David Lee.

Are those photographs you use to back up your political views a Polaroid from the 1970s? :lol
Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week
a nice gesture to manu especially when most of the dallas starters had better numbers than him.
Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week
Dude Dallas has barely played last week.
Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week

Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week
I expected Shaq in the East. But Manu really deserved it.
Re: Manu Ginobili: Player of the Week
The 4th qtr against the Kings on a nationally televised game sealed that honor.
