Lakers: Blast from Past: Ginobili in 03

[Bynumite]

Prime Manu s all over Wade, Kobe, and Miller.

You should do stand-up tbh.

[Bynumite]

Kirby didn't play that year, he was too busy running Shaq offPERIOD in the aftermath of The Rape and The Snitch, tbh....

Without Kobe on their squad it's a stained bronze medal for Jim and your boy Lebeta

[Vash StampedE]

10 years later Manu still better than kirby.

Kobe preferred to sit those 4 games than to be be ted by Manu, tbh.

fify dawg.....I doubt Manu could carry a team to the finals like AI did....it's one thing to be a system player but quite another to do what A.I did while the refs admittedly were cheating against him

Sorry was never a huge AI fan but I slept on Ray ...
Since MJ

1. Kobe
2. Wade
3. Ray
4. Miller
5. Manu
6. A.I.

that he did. it's basically caused a civil war upstairs, between those of us pissed off and the Argentinian nationalists/nazi harborers led by Nono in protecting their man.

still prime Manu was something else. good to see you and that other nig KillaAchilles around.

Did someone call for a blast from the most recent past? Here ya go son:



"YouTube. Because seeing is believing."

[ambchang]

didnt say he was it. I would go ...

1. Kobe
2. Wade
3. Miller
4. Manu

But you can make a case for Manu at 3, especially if you count rings and gold medals as more critical than points.

Mostly agreed, though I think miller (I am assuming you are talking Reggie) peaked before 1999. Post Jordan, he wasn't that good.

Also carter (a sf playing as a SG) should be there somewhere. Gilbert arenas and AI are PG who played like SG. So is Marbury, but I would only out AI above Manu in terms of career and building a team.

Fair points but I just meant career wise. Miller did get his first Finals trip two seasons after MJ retired ...and yes I did forget VC but I think I would STILL take Manu. I liked Vince back from his UNC days his NJ years soured me some on him.

Career wise miller > Manu, I agree.
Post Jordan miller made the finals because, well, there was no more Jordan. Which again speaks to team success being a horrible gauge of a player's individual excellence.

Carter during the air Canada days pre injury was dynamite. Especially that year he had Oakley to kick his butt.

I get your conclusion ...devaluing team success in individual debates, but that was a poor example. Miller can only play vs. his peers. MJ played against similar compe ion, no one devalues his rings. MJ got older ... even if he stays they don't continue ringing. My guess Indiana would of eventually beat them just as Pistons did Bulls or Spurs did 3peat Lakers. Team success matters some just like team failure does. Otherwise why point out Pau or TMAc not winning a series without Kobe or Duncan? or Kobe missing playoffs? Or Dirk's "8" or Duncan's?! You have to judge the whole: Rings. stats and playoff failures.



And yes VC was dynamite his series with AI was good stuff until the graduation issue. I still place him behind those guys however. But he is in that same company.

reggie is 1 way player only....he struffle against turnoboli

Chuck said it best: father time is undefeated.

Manu is easily the 2nd best SG after Kobe this generation. LOL at those who put Wade at number 2. Can't believe people here would put down Manu just because he's white and Wade is black. Get your black propaganda outta here, tbh.

why did the got ass laker fan moderator take away the le of my thread?

butthurt is strong with this one

[ElNono]

Being top 5 of this generation is a major accomplishment for somebody that isn't super athletically gifted like a lot of his compe ion.

Nothing to be ashamed of there.
