That buzzer beater!!!!

[hater]

Lol statpadder

[Coach X]

Commentator says: "I don't know if Ginobili is ready to play in this league." Later on: "They say he's the best of Ginobili brothers."

He not only shots and scores several threes. Notice two defensive actions body-checking his man solidly. Young players don't do that. Inborn compe or.

Legend, never to be forgotten.

Thanks DAF86. Always good to see Manu at any point in his career.

Too bad Hater was never able to appreciate greatness, even when it slapped him in the face with a wet rag. and smell the coffee, dude.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Never understood hater and TGY's hatred of the man, especially since they don't even use his "The Dirk Foul" and Game 6 and 7 in '13 Finals performance as the main reasons why they on him.

SpurPadre, I guess as they say a lot these days, haters are gonna hate". He seems to get off by hating. Not worth spending any time on.

It's a schtick. TGY is Mexican, so since Manu is the greatest Mexican player of all-time, TGY is actually a really big fan, tbh.

Same with my Bolivian hater.

[TDomination]

Awesome find! thank you sharing.

Man, so much hair lol

Knowing how players now come into the NBA at 18, 19 years old. I wonder how good Manu would have been if he had tried to come in at an earlier age. Or at minimum, the year he was drafted.

TGY schtick is to assign every country in central America to Manu. Never the actual one.

[Barfunk]

Thanks for that. Favorite player of all time.

[ElNono]

that kid looks promising, tbh, but we're probably gonna pass him up in the draft for another Dejuan Blair, IMO, smh

[Thomas82]

Thanks for this......great find!!

[DJR210]

Damn too bad we couldn't have drafted Ginobili at 19

[DAF86]

Manu scoring 35 at age 20.

[koriwhat]

That buzzer beater!!!!

[Rosewood]

Born to play basketball. Second favorite spur, even over Robinson.

Well Manu recently said that he considered going to college in the US when he was young.
