Not saying Manu is in the top of players or anything but being on the Spurs and playing behind two other great players and as a sixth man for his whole career didn't help his individual career (other than being a winner). How many AS are bench players? Interesting the only time he made it was when he was starting for a while.
His prime also overlapped with a lot of extremely good and popular SGs, tbh... Kobe had the public vote on lock and you still had guys out there like T-Mac, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, Brandon Roy, etc....
