3rd team All NBA 2008 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ASG selection, any year.
Good point, Ex! 3rd team All NBA 2008 alongside fellow 3rd-teamer, Paul Pierce, Finals MVP.
No.
Females = Sarcastic.
Its a known fact!
Manu said this same thing... bah sorry.. he said 3rd Team ALL NBA 2008 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 6th Man of the year...
manu has only one all star selection because he deserved only one if you look at the ASG of each year.
even last year, when the ASG selections were announced, there were better players. then he had incredible games. if the vote was at the end of the RS last year, there is no doubt he would have been in the ASG. He was voted in the third NBA team at the end of the RS.
but he always had a bad timing for the ASG. even the years where his overall level was high enough to be an all star, he just seemed to peak after the ASG.
not a big deal since he doesn't care obviously.

I love you.

List of Spurs who have made an All NBA team
Ice - A bunch of times*
DRob - A bunch of times*
TD - A bunch of times*
Alvin - 1985-1986
Worm - 1994-1995
Manu - 2007-2008
The ASG is a much less exclusive honor. When Ice and Alvin were selected, there were only 10 players on the All NBA teams. It was eventually expanded to three teams, and 15 players, but that's still less than two full All Star rosters of players.
* HOF, or a sure lock.
Add to that:
Sean Elliott 1993, 1996
Larry Kenon 1978 & 1979
Artis Gilmore 1983 & 1986
Brandon Roy still needs to acomplish a lot of stuff to be called a better player than Manu and pretty much every BB specialist last year acknoledge that his prescence in last year's all-star over Manu was a disgrace.
...and, of course, Tony Parker in 2006 and 2007. 9 Spurs have been NBA All Stars

Bull .
Ginobili is one of the best shooting guards in the league.
Most people don't realize it because Ginobili always plays limited minutes through the regular season (a wise choice on Pop's part), and plays on a team with two other premier scorers.
His numbers often don't look like those of an star because he doesn't play as many minutes, and doesn't have to carry the same scoring load that most other stars of comparable talent must carry.
On a lesser team, Ginobili would be a 23 PPG / 6 assist / 6 rebound-per-game player. Sir Charles has made this point many times, and for once, I agree with him.

My list was for Spurs All NBA team selections, not ASG selections. I'll stand by it.
You are so right, Exstatic. You did say All NBA team. I am sorry about that, I'll try to read more carefully next time.My list was for Spurs All NBA team selections, not ASG selections. I'll stand by it.
ASG is a joke now anyway, it aint serious like it use to be during the 90s, now its all about marketing the players and game, heck even the players arent even serious about it, they just come out strut there thing, sell the game thats about it.
Hence there are some worthy players who missed out every year and then there are players who shouldnt even be in the ASG.
