Pretty rare that such a young player would lock his place in the HoF that early, tbh... but that certainly did it.
Manu has a lot more tools to work with the Spurs this year!
he can be inserted into the SL, and wreak havoc with Pau Gasol.....
at the bench:
Manu and David Lee
Manu to Bertans for three!!!!!!!!!!!
Manu to Simmons!!!!
Manu and Murray could be the wizards of chaos!!!
by god, what a line-up!!!!

He lead Team USA in scoring one Olympics in 1996 I believe, not bad with the other guys on the team......Very true, props to Manu for that run.
The question asked of Harden wasn't "best" lefty of all time, it was asking him who his "favorite" lefty is.
His answer was Manu Ginobili.
DON K@$H GAMBINO – @STR8KASH
@JHarden13 WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE LEFTY OF ALL TIME #HARDENFLCHAT

The twitter guy mad that he chose a "white" person. Reminds me of racist ST trolls.
With that team you can beat any other NT of that era, thats a fact, Lebron Wade Melo and Stoudejew should have feasted everyone, MJ won the 1984 Olympic with a teenager team and he was 21 and that was the average age of that squad, Thats a kick in the balls to every guy of the roster, including Duncan.
Carlos Arroyo, tbh.
Manu's Olympics win was arguably the greatest feat in the history of basketball
I wonder if and when it will happen again
Epic. Thanks for bringing that up. I had forgotten about that.
So Manu oly 06> Duncan 03?
Manu unselfish> Tim unselfish?
Manu>-d Rob is obvious ?
Generally when ranking spurs you should stipulate whether your looking at franchise impact vs indiv skill.
Parker leads Manu on franchise impact. But not skill.
Drob leads everyone but Duncan on franchise impact. Same with ability.
It's really, the great two, then the rest, ice, gino,, Parker, kawhi
I remember seeing a pre-draft video of James Harden years ago and he was asked who his favorite player to watch in the NBA was, and he responded with Manu Ginobili. The similarities in their game is impossible to ignore.
Not really. Mullin was slow and a poor defender. He was a good outside shooter with good BB IQ, but Manu had more varied skill set when you consider passing, defense, and ball handling. I'm not sure he ever meant more to his teams than Manu did.
I did a comparison on their stats at Basketball reference and found them to be similar in some respects, but I think Manu's stats were a little better overall. Still, it makes for great conversations in bars and on Spurs Talk.

People still arguing about skin color or race... sad
True. Manu's been playing with house money since 2004.
2005 capped it off too, that playoff run for him......
I love Manu, but pick your own order for the top 3: Ice, Tim, DRob.
Why Gervin so high? He was a scorer but that's it. Could get to the rim but terrible shooter. Couldn't pass like manu, couldn't see the floor like manu, didnt provide or contribute to the all around game.
Gervin was a 10 time NBA All Star, and 7 times All NBA (5 1sts, 2 2nds), not to mention a HOFer. I don't think you get any of that by being as limited as you say he is.
He was a scorer. That's precisely how you make an nba all star team.
Agreed.
This tbh...
