Guarding Manu

[duncan228]

Be thankful you don’t have to guard Manu
Kurt Helin

Manu Ginobili is not the quickest guy in the league. Not the best ball handler. Yet the guy can just get to the rim.

He’s back healthy this season and once again his little hesitation move, his crossover, his often seemingly awkward shots over defenders are falling and making life for defenders impossible. It starts with the fact he takes more threes than anything and is hitting 38.2 percent this season, so you have to respect that shot and defend it.

But when you do he can drive on you and… well, just watch the video and listen to the guys who have to defend him.

Easily my favorite Spur to watch ever.

God bless Manu

Are these clips form this season? Man I miss watching the Spurs.

Manu's euro step and his crossover are two of the nastiest, most devastating moves in the game today. Absolutely my favorite Spur to watch, ever.

Man...whether you are left-handed or right, these moves are money. If you practice them and are proficient at them, you can score a few in your rec league. If you guys watch James Anderson, you'll find that he likes to go left too, even though he's right handed.

Thanks for posting, great video

Fantastic video, Manu is an absolute beast!

Manu's hesitation, step-back 3 makes my nipples hard.

Great video, great player.

[YODA]

Very interesting stuff. Not even sure he should post this stuff. Also give u idea why he has ankle problems with these long step moves.

Love that last highlight against the Bulls where he actually messes up the behind the back but still recovers and finishes.

Yeah, that's definitely a pretty cool adjustment. It looked like Rose might've gotten a hand on the ball, disrupted it, and Manu just improvised.

He's just going left... how hard can it be?

[migol]

My favorite thing about Ginobili is his English.

" I just play the only way I know how to,".....balls to the wall.

Wasn't this from three years ago? I thought it was on the last championship video. Well anyways nice video. I know Manu is with the Spurs but I'm amazed that he isn't very marketable at all here in the NBA and will only be known for being the biggest flopper in the league.

I love how the French coach immediately calls a timeout after that

Awesome video. Manu Ginobli is by far one of my favorite Spurs players.

Man, this is a great vid. Thanks for posting.

Which video? The first video (where players speak about Manu) is definitely new..a lot of the plays are from last season and the uniforms the players (Butler, Brown, Frye, etc.) are wearing are this years' new style.
