    #86? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Unreal. Why isn't Dirk in the 80's then? That dude is just as done. Same for Pau Gasol. What a joke.

    http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/97...rankings-81-90

    Ranked below MONTE ELLIS? Wow.

    If you were only to judge based off his performance last season and in the playoffs then 86 is not ridiculous. Hopefully Manu has a bounce back year because he was looking absolutely awful in stretches during last years playoffs.

    If you don't treat ESPN as a joke, you've already lost.

    86 seems a little low, he's probably around the 45-55 range. This isn't prime Ginobili we're talking about here and after last season plus him getting another year older and revealing he was already contemplating retiring, it's not really surprising to see him ranked so low. Hope he proves them wrong.

    That's ing ludicrous, Manu is still at least a top 40 player in the NBA. I may of hated Manu for awhile after the Finals but ranking him 86 is re ed.

    He was subpar last year. Seemed to be in a funk all season long. Let him prove the doubters wrong this year, if he still can.

    I agree with the ranking. He's about on par with Steve Nash.

    That said, he'll improve this year.

    In this day and age, what ESPN publishes should not surprise anybody.

    I'm a Church of Manu disciple, but honestly, can you blame them? He was arguably Miami's MVP in the Finals.

    I can't believe anyone is getting bent about this.

    You would have to respect ESPN forecasts to begin with to think anybody is getting disrespected, tbh...

    Manu is either going to bounce back or solidify his #86 position in the ranking...

    I'd still take him over Monta Ellis or Kevin Martin, especially on this team...

    Bull, tell us how you really feel. Let ESPN have it. Write a letter or something.

    You have to factor 2 things:
    - First, these are projection for this season and the most likely scenario is that Ginobili won't be as good next season as he was this season.
    - Second, the amount of minutes played count. Ginobili was 207th this year in minutes played during the regular season. When you played that little, it automatically reduces the impact you can have on the game.
