Before Steph Curry "broke" basketball, Manu Ginobili "changed" it, forever, leading Argentina to Gold in the 2004 Olympics.
An absolute stud.
Fortunate to be Spurs fan during the Manu era.
Out of seemingly the mist a magic lefty shows up to boost Tim and Tony when it was in question if excellence could be extended.
What a fun player. I miss Manu.
Well done Manu

Not surprised at all.
Well deserved, Manu.
Congrats to the GOAT Argie tbh
My favorite player of all time, congrats Manu! He is probably shook himself tbh, he has always been very modest. Can't wait for the ceremony. A rather weak class but thats awesome because he is pretty much the headline of this class.
He's the reason I became a Spurs' fan. Well deserved Manu!
Same here
Prolly true for a lot of us outta market fans.
Congratulations Manu. My All-Time Favorite NBA player. Gracias Manu!!!
1st Ballot HOFer and not in the 75 Greatest. What a joke
my favorite player of all time tbh
I miss the jokes of Popovich wanting to cut Ginobili for driving him mad basically.
Pop's first impression on Manu's game:I miss the jokes of Popovich wanting to cut Ginobili for driving him mad basically.
Right, I was living in Boston when I first became a fan of Manu and eventually the Spurs.
The only first ballot of the 2022 class
This right here speaks loudly about his accomplishment!
One of my favorite players ever. Absolutely loved his bad ass dunk over Chris Bosh in the 14 finals. It was like he was telling him I'm going to the hall of fame and your not !! Timmy tapping him of the head and thinking Yeah we're both heading to HOF.
Hope to see Tony next year
The best teammate any player could for, grounded and willing to sacrifice for the the win, but will turn on the killer instinct when it’s time.
He would instantly become a top 5 player in the league on today's NBA.Can we get a young manu to walk through those doors??
He really did, but not only for winning gold. That helped open the eyes of the NBA to international basketball even more. But where he really changed the game is in two key points:Before Steph Curry "broke" basketball, Manu Ginobili "changed" it, forever, [

1) The Eurostep. The most dominant move ever.
2) The popularization of "efficient basketball". Manu was "three pointer or take it to the whole, no midrange crap" before it was popular. He played the game in the most efficient fashion way before the secret was out.
I repeat, people won't ever realize the true place that Manu holds in basketball history.
Man. I miss watching Manu! I got to see him hit a game winner in Madison Square Garden when Isiah Thomas was head coach of the Knicks. That Knicks team was awful but still pushed the Spurs to the death, Manu saved the Spurs on that night at the buzzer. Glad he could get his roses on the first ballot.
awesome news ... so not everything in this world is going in the wrong direction!!! Congrats Manu!
