those who have been watching Manu for the last 15 years now he's up there with Duncan as the two top players ever playing for the Spurs. Obviously he's almost 40 and a s of what he used to be but that is expected due to age. Still he can win games at this age which is remarkable and that tells you about his talent and what a winner he is. Back in his prime he used to win games on his own and everyone said whenever he found his gear he was unplayable. For many years the Spurs didn't have a shot at winning whenever he was injured coming playoffs - he was that instrumental to the whole thing.
Lots of younger folks here or newer or recent fans who haven't really seen Manu playing during his career so they get carried away by what he does when he's 37, 38, 39 years old. Not sure what people are expecting. I think is just truly remarkable what he still does.
This guy has won absolutely anything and everything, NBA, FIBA, Europe, Olympics. Not a stats guy and he has always sacrificed his numbers in order to win for the team - even when he has never cared about stats you can just pull overall numbers on pretty much all meaningful bb stats and you will see him somewhere within top 50 players in history in almost all categories. Can you ing believe that? with all the players who have played the NBA since stats started being recorded that someone has that standing power is unbelievable.
Complete legend and a player known for being super clutch all his career
