Lol Manu contributes a a lot to this team.
Does it bother you that Manu is talked about as being part of a "Big 3" when he clearly isn't one of our top 3 players? I mean next year he won't be close to a top 3 player on the team. 1&2 can switch around but they'll still be taking the same slots, 3 is locked in, 4&5 can switch like 1&2, then we have a battle for 6 between Splitter and Manu. Calling Tim, Tony, and Manu the "Big 3" is equivalent to calling Celtic Shaq "the most dominating big in the game".
1. Tim
2. Parker
3. Kawhi
4. Green
5. King Belinelli
6. Manu
7. Splitter
Lol Manu contributes a a lot to this team.
Let's not turn this into a thread about Manu's turnovers.
Dude, he scored more than Kawhi and pretty much was the reason we won game 5. Plus he can single-handily take a game over. Danny Green went 1-19 from the field. To put him and Bel ahead of him is borderline trolling.
Doesn't bother me...
I'd put Whiwhi ahead of him but when Manu goes HAM...
It doesn't bother me at all.. Kawhi is getting his recognition. This year is supposedly Kawhi's break out year, so hopefully we'll be talking about a new big three or even better a new big 4 sometime this year.
Someone should make a Mt. Spursmore
With Timmy Tony Manu and Bruce
ya'll musta forgot, but
Kawhi won't ever be part of "the Big 3" to me...
I think that moniker will always be synonymous with this Fading Duncan Era
He's definitely next Generation though.
wooooooh... I'm a leg man and I must say the lady in your sig =)
It's the big 2 now.
Game 5 they hit a ton of threes too, he helped out alot no doubt! He was not the sole reason they won the game or the reason though as you make it out to believe. He had a good game and was excellent! But come on now you point this out over and over! We can talk about a player each game who did this here! Game 3 to so on. In game one it was Tony,, nobody single handily won a game for the Spurs so stop it. Outscored Kawhi? Sure as no in the finals, Kawhi showed up huge in game 6 and 7, do you mean overall because if so you are wrong? Not pointing fingers here but you are wrong.
No.
Manu isn't what he once was but we can hope that he has a few more big games left in him for the 7 million per year he is getting paid.
"The Big 3" Isn't about play anymore.
Everyone and their mother knows last year that whiwhi was/is our third best player. It's just a matter of leadership and symbolism.
Frankly, the "big 3" moniker is probably a nice marketing pitch for ESPN, but this team has been at it's best when team basketball is played, beyond the individuals, and with all the role players engaged... while there's no doubt that there's more or less talented players in the team, I don't particularly think the team itself dwells much on that, but how everyone can come together to win games.
Manu sure is under appreciated by Spurs fans these days.... He fought injuries all season and never really got into a rhythm. I'd take a healthy, rested Ginobili over a healthy rested Parker if I had to bet on one game for everything I own and I could only pick one or the other to play. Manu goes to war, Parker seems to disappear in important games imo..
Don't bother dude. Every june/july 2013 member is a Manu/PoP/Tony hater tbh.
Manu is now our Jeremy Lin, both are paid about 7M to sell jerseys.
Kawhi is next gen.
Ginobili has fallen off of a cliff.
"The Big 3" le pre dates manu's decline...they will be known as the big 3 until one of them retires
I don't even know how we considered it the Big 3. He's been a big part of this team over the years and has contributed a lot but it's not like it's ever been his team like it has with Tim or Tony who have been consistently the main All Stars and Final MVPs of this team.
Tim needs someone down there to keep him company when he falls next season. Just sayin'. Nothing lasts forever.
Well I meant insofar as "the big 3" being applied to the Spurs.
It's not a revolving door for who is our best 3 players currently.
... the Big 3 for me first heard was in History class and WW1
TBQH, I'd actually put Splitter ahead of Manu on that list. Manu sucked during the entire playoffs. At least Splitter had a couple of good games before the Finals.
