    Great video.

    Manu has always been, and remains, worth the price of admission.

    We just need to all sit down and recognize what Manu Ginobili has done for this team durning his career, it was never about himself, he could have easily went to a different team and been the star there *cough cough* James Harden but he decided to be loyal and put the money aside, its all about winning for this guy. He made winning plays not only from scoring but a key pass, a key steal, a charge, diving out of bounds and saving the ball this guy has won a game in so many different ways and sacrificed his body for the San Antonio Spurs. At age 35 for Manu we are all so critical of him, some people continually bash him but we got to realize he has been playing professionally since 18 and going deep in the playoffs every single year NBA and internationally and the Olympics + the style of play and the compe ive nature this guy has severe mileage on him. We just have to be thankful of what we have witnessed. He was just some scrawny Argentinian basketball player and just grew into one of the most exciting unique deceiving basketball player the NBA has ever seen. Manu Ginobili has done some things on the basketball court that I honesty didn't think was possible, he excepted every challenge and was completely fearless, 2004 second year in the league Timmy out Tony out going against the Lakers and Shaq and Kobe and was just fearless going off that game. We all just have to be thankful of getting the opportunity to watch this man play the game of basketball.

    A movie could be made about this man's life, no joke.

    I missed it, would love to have full video of it.

    Rasho also stepped up with a serious double-double, IIRC.

    There's not a full game video online out there. It's a recap, tough. Rasho had some hightlights in the first half but went invisible afterwards tbh.

    I love when at the start of the first overtime Doug Collins says: The more I watch this Ginobili, the more I fall in love with him as a player. He's reckless, he's tough..

    That was actually the first game Manu gained some public aprecciation.

    Great to watch that game again, even though this was probably one of the most disappointing regular season losses I ever had. After Manu scratched and clawed the whole game, I couldn't believe we didn't win it.

    Interesting that they ran the same play for Manu at the end of regulation that they ran against Golden State the other night at the end of the game.

    I was at this game with some friends and family... I kept telling my friends (who were mostly there to see the Lakers) that the game would be a "coming out" party of sorts for Ginobili given the free reign provided by both Parker's and Duncan's unavailability... 2 OTs later, and despite the bitter sting of the loss no one was dissapointed for having been graced with Ginobili's magic. To this day I can still quote his game stats off the top of my head and somewhere I have a picture of the final scoreboard at-the-then SBC Center...

    33 PTS
    12 RB
    7 AST

    That game alone provided many highlights including:

    -Manu's assist to a cutting Robert Horry between Kobe's legs...
    -Manu's And-1 against Shaquille, for a spinning flip shot over his head...
    -Followed by a beautiful reverse layup between Malone and O'Neal...
    -Kobe taunting the crowd by wagging his finger (Mutombo style) while backpeddaling only to fall down while doing so...

    If Manu would have been able to have stayed healthy in his career, and maybe be on a different team where he was more the focal point He would have been one of the best SG in NBA history right behind MJ. If not at least the Top 5 list.

    Well, where does he rank in the history of the game in terms of SG?

    Im not implying anything, it's just that to me he's I think in a top 10 SG of all time.
