IMO I'd have to say no tbh. He's been riddled with injuries this season, and he couldn't even get close to scoring 10 for the few games that he came back for (until...surprise surprise!...another injury).
I think it's pretty obvious that he's going to retire after next season when his contract is up. The 2 year/$14 million contract was a lifetime achievement award contract, after all. There's no way the Spurs F.O. will give him 2 lifetime achievement award contracts, and no other team in the league wants a TOSB. He's not a pure shooter like Steve Nash, and his passing abilities will be rendered useless once the league figures out that Manu's no longer a scoring threat, so he doesn't really have any skills that will allow him to stay in the league beyond the age of 35.
He can't explode at the rim with his "toothpick" ankles (lest he wants another stress fracture). His shot is pretty much gone after his hand surgery (you can tell by the way his free throws clanked off the rim to the left and right). If he plays any more than 15 minutes a game, he'll be too tired to make a 3 point shot, so that's pretty much gone. By Manu's own admission, this is without question Tony Parker's team now, so even if you disagreed with everything so far, Manu won't be taking 15-20 shots per game because he's no longer the first option (or second option...or third option IMO).
Taking into account the fact that Manu will most likely have another season ending injury next year, and taking into account the fact that it takes him 3 or 4 months to warm up and get in a good rhythm (which he doesn't have this season), I think it's a safe bet to say he'll never score 20 again.
So what do you think spurstalk, will Manu Ginobili ever score 10 points again?
Update for 2014-2015 season:
Manu Ginobili so far...
vs Miami 2 points
vs Memphis 4 points
vs Dallas 4 points
vs OKC 7 points
vs Dallas 7 points
vs Minny 11 points
Not if they keep limiting his minutes.
He scored 10+ in 34 out of 62 games he played this season.
As long as he's not hurt, Manu will be fine... I know the Spurs will be glad to extend him for another season or two, let's hope he wants to keep playing.
Buy a dildo for yourself tbh.
Hey I'm happy with him retiring after the season is done. We only have a few more games.
There's only one player on the team who is grossly overpaid.
Jeff Ayres. It was two but now Atlanta is paying Austin Daye.
Never, ever, ever, ever.
And thank ing God for that.
I'm calling it now. Austin Daye will be the Spur killer in the finals.
If Pop tries to guard him with Marco, anything can happen.
My Nono with the goods....
Bad thread
