Pretty much what ^ he said. There are other SGs who are more talented then Manu (VC, Ray Ray) but I would go with a winner any day of the week rather than going with those losers.
Look at Manu's stats. Those aren't top-3 stats. To be honest, those aren't even top-10 stats. He's just not what you all make him out to be.
TOP 3 and![]()
I think Manu is a better overall athlete than Ray. More pizzaz to his game then Maggette or Richardson by far. This is not even a credible post.
And for the money we pay him and being a 2nd round pick, factor that in and he's #1.
I'm a warriors fan, and I'll rate Ginobili higher than J-Rich and Spaghetti.

I think Manu is somewhere in the 7-10 range. But I don't care as long as he brings the rings.
Then why ask the question, if you don't want to hear what our opinions are. Where do u rate him? I rate him that high because the guy brings so many intangibles to the court it's ridiculous, he plays like the guy who never gets picked, who always has to work harder than anyone to stay on the team, like a guy who lives just to get into the court and play. And all that heart, desire and the guy has incredible talent and a sixth sense that keeps him in the middle of the action. I don't believe he is better than those 4 guys I put before him, but even so I think this guy is a true superstar in every sense of the word. I still say he reminds me of John Havlicek in his prime, not as a good a scorer, but the energy and hustle it's like watching his twin brother.
Stats are meaningless when the Spurs are team oriented. Ginobili doesn't have the chance to jack up 20+ shots like everybody else on that list if he jacked up an unneccassary shot he'd be in the dog pound faster than Malik Rose. Those players mentioned on the list have the ball in there hands most of the time unlike Ginobili, put Ginobili in a setting where he is the main guy then it'd be a different story.
I'd rate him starting SG on the NBA champs, best clutch shooting guard in the NBA. You know, the kind that brings home the Larry O'Brien.
Let me put it another way, the guy whose name u use, Artest, let me compare him to Manu the last 3 years. Let's see 2 years ago against the Celtics the Pacers were the higher seeded team and they lost and they lost in the last mins becasue yeah, Ronnie went ballistic and got a tech and it cost them big time, they got eliminated. The last year in 04 he did the same thing against the PIstons, he went ballistic lost his cool and cost his team the game and the series. And let's not forget his spectacular showing in 05, oh wait he didn't even finish the season, he got suspended after another monumental breakdown this time it was a super duper.
Now Manu as a role player in 03 did a lot good things to help the Spurs win, the biggest was his steal of Jefferson's ball to get a slam dunk that completely changed the momentum and helped lead the Spurs to the le in game 6. He didn't so hot in 04, but clearly this past playoff run without Manu the Spurs would have struggled to get to the finals. Now who would you rather have, I personally would take Manu.
All of you are feeding the troll.
But you have to know Manu is nothing without Duncan. Duncan is what makes the Spurs go-round. You could replace Manu with any top-10 shooting guard in the leaguer and the Spurs would be just as good, and better in many situations.
Sure Manu accomplished without Duncan.
Remember the Olympics, idiot?
I agree with FromWayDownTown. Best thing to do is ignore this trolling clown.
manu sucks, what a waste of money!
I would say somewhere between 6-8.
Artest Factor, your an idiot.
