Nice.
Actually, to honestly compare Manu and Gervin isn't fair.
He is better than Alvin Robertson though who was a pretty damn good player in his day.
ARob came from my Hogs!
Too bad he can't stay out of jail.
Until Manu, Robertson had the most accolades of any post-Gervin Spur guard, but I can't in good conscience put him up there with the other two.
Funny thing is, until DRob, the Spurs were almost exclusively known for their guard play. Then there was a long drought until Manu and TP came along.

You seriously overrate Alvin Robertson.
Robertson > Manu?
Come on.
That's not what I said.
I said I couldn't put Robertson up there with the other two.
That was Oberto's line tonight

lol @ manu ginobody being led a legend
Yeah but Scola was the first to do it.
The closest thing that Mento can come up with is . . . Chris Webber.
?
ROFL
Chris Webber was a top 10 player in the NBA before he wrecked his knee.
Perhaps in the Pussywhipped HOF.
@ Brad Miller the "wigga"
There was this guy:
ShoogarBear is on point with his assessment. No way has he overrated Robertson. Since a lot of time has passed, people tend to forget what a fantastic player he was. Check it:
In 1986, Robertson became the inaugural winner of the NBA Most Improved Player Award. This also marked the first of four National Basketball Association All-Star Game appearances for the guard (the others coming in 1987, 1988, and 1991). He also won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award in 1986, and led the league in steals in 1986, 1987 and 1991. Robertson still holds the top career steals-per-game average in the NBA, with 2.71 per contest over 779 career games.
Robertson twice led the league in steals. In 1985-86 he averaged a league-leading 3.67 steals per game, a major factor in his earning the Defensive Player of the Year honor and being selected second-team All-NBA, one of only four players in Spurs' history to have been selected first, second or third-team All-NBA. He was a three-time All-Star. Only George Gervin, David Robinson and Tim Duncan have represented the Spurs in more All-Star Games.
Robertson led the Spurs in steals four of the five seasons he was with the club, three times averaging more than three per game. Though he played only five seasons in San Antonio, he ranks second in club history in total steals, with 1,129.
A multi-dimensional player, Robertson is one of only four NBA players to record a quadruple-double (double digits in four statistical categories in a single game) when he registered 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals whilst playing for the Spurs against the Phoenix Suns.[5] He is also the only player to do so with steals as the fourth category (the other three were with blocks).
Pretty impressive, huh. Let it be known that he was THE most highly-decorated player of the post-Gervin, pre-Robinson era.
Just to add:
And the 3.67 SPG in 86 is still an NBA single-season record, I believe.
