Manu will not make the HOF and neither will Tony Parker. Only Duncan will. Manu's CAREER stats aren't HOF caliber.

But Manu has a chance to go in the HOF because of his international accomplishments as well. Dont you see that? Not talking just NBA.

We just did the Manu Hall Of Fame conversation not too long ago:
http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthre...make+hall+fame
So Manu makes the HOF primarily because of his INTERNATIONAL achievements and not because of what he's done in the NBA? I'm sorry but during his NBA career, which is the only thing that is relevant, he hasn't come close to sniffing Kobe's shoes outside of a hot month this year.
Wow. It's amazing how you just can't see anything besides stats. Just out of curiosity, how old are you?
Nobody said anything about Tony Parker.
Well in your opinion the international achievements are irrelevant, but luckily the HOF takes that into consideration as well, and the commitee with accept him anyway. Stop hatin on Manu. He deserves what he's gotten.
He would never make the HOF based on his NBA career. In his NBA career he hasn't ever come close to producing what Kobe has done outside of a few hot months here and there. Consistency in excellence is what separates Kobe from Manu.
And Manu has NEVER had to play for a subpar team. He's always had a championship team around him.
Which explains all the people in the HOF who never played NBA ball.
His NBA accomplishments add to what is already an impressive resume, and the body of work has yet to be completed.
Nobody is saying he would....we are saying that the NBA accomplishments are a part of what would send him there, not the complete reason.
I agree about what you say of his NBA career, but for the millionth time he deserves it because of the combo of his international carreer and the NBA. And just so you know, Manu was way older than Kobe when he entered the league, but in his short time in the league he has done great things including winning 3 championships. He's been an allstar and what not, so its not like he hasn't made his mark in the NBA. And no Laker fan, I'm not trying to say he's better than Kobe, so don't twist it. I'm just wondering what you have against Manu going into the HOF? It's going to happen.
Comparing Manu to Kobe is the whole point of this ing thread! It's what your fellow Spork fans are doing saying Manu and Kobe are pretty much equals on the basketball court.
I think the NBA HOF should only take into consideration what players have done in the NBA. If you want to have an international basketball HOF then fine, but I don't get why they lump the two together.
Some are, but I'm not. I'm just asking what you have against Manu making the HOF? Is it because you think he doesn't deserve it because you know Kobe will get that honor? I'm sorry but they will probably get inducted at that the same. Attend the ceremony together and go out for a nice steak dinner. Kobe likes Manu, why can't you?
I didn't say he was better than Kobe. Spursfan09 is right...some are, not all as you seem to believe.
If there was a HOF just for the NBA then I would agree totally,however there is not one.

You do honor your name... you are indeed a re , and a Laker fan, how funny.
Your name is apt. OK, for the sake of finally trying to get something that you can understand.
THERE IS NO NBA HALL OF FAME
The Hall in Springfield is The Basketball Hall Of Fame and it's roster includes many people who have never played basketball in the NBA, and also includes some people who have never played basketball.
Do you get it now? NO... Here's a link:

what a moron!
It's the Basketball Hall of Fame, re . Again, HOW OLD ARE YOU?
He's the same age as SpursDynasty.
Kobe vs. Manu-Hollinger
http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthre...ight=hollinger
Not anymore. This season, it's the Manu Ginobili show. The sneaky southpaw leads the team in scoring at 20.6 points per game, but even that understates things. Ginobili's usage rate this season has climbed all the way to 28.0, the sixth-highest figure in the league.
This has escaped people's attention because Ginobili only plays 31.5 minutes per game. But to see how much he's getting the rock, and how productive he's been when he's had it, let's compare Ginobili's per-40-minute stats to those of another prominent player: Kobe Bryant.
You think he can't hang? Guess again. Kobe averages 29.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists per 40 minutes; Manu gets 26.2, 6.4 and 5.9.
Wait, it gets better. Kobe plays on one of the league's faster-paced teams; Manu is on the second-slowest. Plug Bryant's numbers into the Spurs' sluggish pace and you get 26.9 points, 5.9 boards and 5.2 assists, making the comparison a dead heat.
Additionally, Ginobili has done it with a spectacular 61.7 true shooting mark that ranks fourth among all shooting guards, and trumps Kobe's 57.7.
They are never content to just enjoy the success of their team -- they demand everyone else in the universe love their team as much as they do.
Bonus points for DazedAndConfused's showing off his complete ignorance of the Basketball Hall of Fame.
You have been enjoyed, dumbass
I just hope you aren't confusing the NBA with the HOF (Basketball Hall of Fame which is International). It would give you lots of credits.

My bad, didn't know the HOF included international players as well. I assumed there was a separate HOF for college basketball as well. It doesn't change the argument though, Kobe > Manu in every which way on the basketball court.
