parker yes. manu no
Duncan is the leader and players like Ginobili and Parker benefit from this. Without Duncan these players would see more double teams just like Kobe did without Shaq. A big man takes away alot of the attention on players like Ginobili and Parker.
parker yes. manu no
Let's just enjoy this team while we can. Manu has maybe 5 years left in him, and Duncan maybe ten if he's lucky.
Think about it GoN.
I learned it from YOU!!! [think lame ass anti-drug commercial from the 80's]
Never.
wow some mavs fan make smarter statements about it than some homers. interesting lol
TD will be over Gino still till they retire due to their game/age.
Gino is awesome, makes crazy play and has been the best spur in this postseason so far but please dont forget you talk about Tim Duncan ! cmon
Hmmm. You don't seem to be your usual, witty, humorous self tonight, GoN. I'll just take your word for it and move on.
I have to say the reason I posted this thread is because Manu Ginobili recently has been way more popular than Duncan. I know Duncan has done everything for this city...but to think that a hispanic player would play in San Antonio definately has good chances of being the face of the franchise in many of the fans' minds..
I'm just asking for ur opinion on that..is it the face or will he be the face of the franchise by the fans?
obviously he's the most popular..but ive come to the conclusion that even though he is the most popular he wont be because of the game.
I think so. Manu is the real deal.
Manu is just as good, if not better than all the other 2 guards in the NBA...and yes I am talking about Kobe, T-mac, Wade and Lebron
You're getting a little carried away with Manu. He might be as good as Kobe or Allen but Mcgrady and Wade were playing at a very high level in this years playoffs. Mcgrady was killing Dallas by himself in the Houston/Dallas series. Ginobili is a top 5 SG though.
Duncan will play another five years after Manu retires.
I think if you take into consideration Manu's basketball IQ and knowledge of what to do in every game situation, he may be better....
I agree. He plays very well with Duncan and Parker but San Antonio can play well without him to. Houston can't play well without Mcgrady and Miami plays ok without Wade. This team would still be solid with Ginobili. Without Duncan is a different story.
Manu can get in the lane and get layups or fouls...and and1's....assists...offensive rebounds...he can just freaking score.
Why do you think many of the top SG's think he's so unpredictable?
he does all of the above..that's why he's a superstar...not just a star.
San Antonio can play well without Manu, bc of his supporting cast... Houston and Miami dont have a great team after their stars
Duncan is the man and Ginobili is the 2nd best player. Phoenix doesn't have any interior defense due to not having a big man which makes it easier for slashers like Ginobili and Parker to have big games. Ginobili isn't consistent enough to be a superstar. Take Duncan out and Ginobili will struggle. Look at the Dallas/San Antonio game.
Will Ginobili Shadow Duncan and Parker in the future?
No.
Every player Is unique In their own way!
No, but I will tell my kids about the greatness of Manu Ginobili.
And what will you tell them of Tim
This man would have been the future of the Spurs. The main go to guy. The end all be all of the Spurs.
Stoopid trade.
I get jokes.
My god !! can you see the future?? Whats if Tim (I hope not) get injured pretty bad??
We could never know who will get retired before the other one... What I could say is that I think that Manu is awsome and He could play without Tim... Many of you would say that I'm crazy but I'm not... A lil' show of this was the las Olympic Games... Argentina kick our ass with Manu in the front of this... US has Timmy talent and many more but... Who won the game?? And don't tell me that Argentina have more experienced players because there was just 3 guys in NBA of 15 !!!... US had 15 guys in the NBA higher teams... So... Just think a lil' bit more b4 you post...
Tim is = Strenght, calm, the analyzer of spurs.
Manu's= The courage, the unfear, the talent itself of spurs
Tony's= the speed, the opportunism, the new blood of spurs...
This 3 players have their own stars shining 24/7 for them
Spurs as a franchise... I think Tim and Manu are the most famous guys, both are awsome... But the incredible of this is that Manu has so much better background that Timmy, because He won more things than Timmy beside Spurs and as someone said... He has played in South America, Europe and NBA (The 3 best quallity of basketball in the world)...
Some one also saids that Manu is just marketer... I think the same... San Antonio has a lot of hispanic population and Manu is just bring them to get their attention to Spurs...
Manu is such a huge beast, and the last game was just a lil' show of what he can do for Spurs when the time comes.
Greetings All
Don't fight please !

Duncan's not the same player because he's playing on two bum ankles. That, and half the games this team played this season were over 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter, so there was no reason for Duncan to play the minutes he needed to put up 2002 numbers. The Spurs will never have another Duncan.... just like the Celtics will never have another Bird, Lakers another Magic, etc.
