Hollinger: Manu Ginobili, Superstar

[smeagol]

[/]But Manu is not a star. We should trade him for real winners, VC or Allen [/rascal and Sequ (although Sequ appears to have seen the light)]

Manu Ginobili, Superstar?

As long as he doesn't do this:



He'll be OK.

superstar = franchise player, someone you can build a team around and get you 50 regular season wins and/or make the playoffs.

star = something less than that, yet an exceptional player who at times can carry a team himself.

MANU is definitely a "star" by violentkitten's definition as of now.

Makes sense to me

btw, your avatar is pretty similar to my pet

Over @ Woai or Spurzone there's an article about Carlos Delfino, he stated that after game 1 his Det teammates & L.Brown all came to him @ different points & asked "how do you defend him (Manu)?"

Delfino answered "put me back in the roster, then I'll give you some ideas"

[WalterBenitez]

So ... we have 2 Superstar's definitions (up to now)

Violentkitten "franchise player, someone you can build a team around and get you 50 regular season wins and/or make the playoffs"

Sorry Manu, you are out (for now)

2centworth "Superstar is coming up large in the biggest games, and having the offensive ability to put up 40 at anytime. Add leadership abilities"

Well Manu, you have a pretty good chance

Manu is a superstar...there is no doubt about that.

He is, noone will forget his playoff performance this year. Unless Spurs lose this series 4-2.
