Good job Brazil.
Premature thread is premature.
Ha we're 9 games into the season. Can't wait till he makes you boys look silly
Never count Manu out, he has played like this before only to return to being the best player on the Spurs.
Manu is in no way a lock for Hall of Fame. CoM smb. He needed to be more durable in the NBA. Unless they just vote him in as an "ambassador" for the international game or for Latin America.
Manu is a lock for HOF tbh
I remember his horrible start in 2010. Cully was sticking a fork in him and sadly I was beginning to think it was true. Manu just looked terrible out there, he couldnt get around anyone or knock down a jumpshot to save his life. Then Tony the Chucker got injured and the rest is history. In short, never doubt Manu Ginobili aka God.
Dude, how can you call yourself a Spur fan and not know that Manu is a lock for the HoF? Do some research, imho.
Let's see where he is by the end of the year before talking like this.
He's won everywhere before going to the NBA. And yes, international play counts, because it's a basketball hall of fame, not just an NBA hall of fame. He has good accolades too: 3 NBA rings (as a key player), one of the highet win%'s for a career, and led the only team to gold medal over Team USA in the Olympics since NBA players started packing the Team USA roster. Not to mention he's always been among the top SGs just about every year.
Tomorrow night?? I hope......
Among all the NBA players, Tim and Manu are the only two whom I follow on their facebook pages. So you can see that I have the ultimate respect for him.
To me , I don't mind that Manu is over his peak at all. Granted, if he can turn back the clock like Tim, that's perfect. But even with his current form, I don't blame him for that. What I don't like is that being known as a player with super Bball IQ, he hasn't shown that he has the capability to adjust to his way of playing with current body/form.
Just take a look at Kidd from last night. Kidd used to be very creative and fancy, one of the best PGs ever. But at this age, first, he defers much to young guys doing their stuff; second, when he gets his chance, he tries to keep it simple and let the game come to him. By this way, he can still contribute to winning even though he is much older than Manu.
Second, as bad as Manu is playing, I'm more disappointed with Pop's coaching. Just like he stuck to Finley, Bonner, and etc. when everybody else says the otherwise --- or refuse to use Splitter for that matter --- he does not adjust to Manu's bad form at all. In no way am i implicating that Manu is the same as Bonner, or he'll never regain his old form, but in terms of the current form, Pop needs to use every player to the benefit of the team.
We still have Bonner, why worry . . .
I read this a few times today and believe this is a chief concern to worry our asses off
Bury Manu next to Tim Duncan's grave (the one you same geniuses dug for him two years ago).
Ginobili isn't done, tbh. He was damn good in the Olympics and looked great to start preseason.
And really, he looked worse back when he was coming off of those multiple foot/ankle injuries a few years ago. If you remember correctly, back then he wasn't driving to the hoop and only seemed willing to shoot from the outside. Right now, his drives to the hoop are adequate ... it's his outside shooting and the timing on his passes that are out of whack.
beautifully said tbh
feelin' better already
I love Gino more than TP, but also realize his body isn't the most reliable. timvp (no i don't know how to tag ), what would be a good figure for his next contract coming up? I've heard this number floated around...but not sure if said source is impartial tbh
If Ginobili recovers and gets back to playing like we know he can, two years and $16M is a very fair deal for both sides.
I don't see much wiggle room in that number. If Ginobili plays at an MVP level, maybe that figure jumps up to $18M. If he has an injury ravaged season, I can't imagine it goes lower than $14M.
So basically, Ginobili is in line to get $16M over two years ±$2M.
Worst case for the Spurs is if he decides to retire. I think best short-term and long-term scenario for the Spurs is to keep this core and have a reset button available once Duncan's contract expires.
Manu's only 17?!
For my dead homie Manu, R.I.P.
