Question for Longtime Spurs Fans

[Kapeci88]

Their overall stats and styles can make it look like they are very similar.

But anyone who has watched years of playoff basketball will say, in a tough series give me Manu every day of the week. You can keep Harden on your team.

i agree if their wasnt a ginobili, harden's whole style would be different

i am also of the belief that if ginobili had his own team in his prime, he would average 27/5/5 easily on 46% shooting

I wonder how many points Harden would've averaged against the 2005 Detroit Pistons...

Good question. Depends on whether the officials were officiating a 2005 game or a 2019 game. I think Harden would have been a scrub in 2005

[Kapeci88]

No. Not nearly as durable and not as talented as Harden but could've been a 20/5/5 guy for multiple seasons but probably would've maxed out at 68 games a year.

Sorry for the late response i was in spain for the past few weeks with my sick grandmother

But back to your point, i agree that ginobili would be a normal 20/5/5 guys under a regular coach. But what about if Ginobili played for Mike Dantoni like Harden is currently, i think ginobili has the same skillset as Harden only that Harden is bit much stronger, but neither really have a postup game( so i dont think it matters that much)

what do you think Ginobili would do under Mike Dantoni

[Kapeci88]

Hey im back, same question as before do you believe Ginobili if he played under mike dantoni could possibly do what harden is doing now. And by that same token do you believe that Harden would have a ring if he were coached by Pop instead of kevin mchale, scott brooks and mike dantoni

[Kapeci88]

guess my question couldnt be answered. Oh well
