    For the true basketball fans and not the stats sheet readers, this guy is definitely an all time Top 5 SG (even maybe Top 3 behind Michael and Kobe).
    The game changed forever since he burst onto the scene.

    Great showcase man. I just want to add, it wasn't about the iconic moments or that random block on Harden... it was something else, when the team needed a spark, he was always the guy with the matches. The defensive stops, the out-of-nowhere dunks or the unstopable pick and rolls that he invented game to game was a thing to watch.
    You could sense the difference on the team's vibe when he jumped on the court from the bench or when clutch time was on.
    Such a winner and so humble, what a combination.

    Never knew Manu as a kid but I picked Spurs on NBA 2008 (EA) because he is a stealer and a good shooter, he can dunk and can finish near the rim. After that was history, really wanted to watch his games and 2012-2015 Spurs was a classic. Really loved how the group dished the ball around defenders. Gracias Manu and congrats on being a HOFer!

  • @NickPR87

  • @lighthousephotographybandera

    Never forget: The media portrayed the Spurs as "boring" because the media studios were mostly in CA.
    So tons of real basketball fans slept through one of the greatest NBA runs of all time because they let the media distort their reality.
    It's great to see all the fans making videos and learning the legendary stories. The Big Three is really a two part series because there's before Kawhi and then with Kawhi. Two completely different teams, same record breaking win percentage.
    LeBron was amazing to play against when he first arrived (swept by the Spurs in the finals) and watching his legend grow has been fun.
    Kobe left us too early, I thought we would be hearing from that legend for years to come. He was amazing and it was because of Kobe and that incredible Lakers team that the Spurs built the team the built. 1999 proved that the Spurs had it in them, but it wasn't until 2003 that they actually built the team designed to counter each piece of the Lakers team. Manu was the key ingredient, because he was truly a worthy guard to counter Kobe. Kobe's legendary status puts him miles above Manu of course, but it's true that Manu provided a legitimate counter and helped the Spurs to keep up and take over. (Manu's rookie year, Stephen Jackson was able to keep up with Kobe at guard and the Spurs went on to win the year, 2003.)

  • @kronmeicrumbs
    @kronmeicrumbs Před rokem +1

    Raja Bell has said that he only tells people Kobe was the hardest player to guard because that's what they wanted to hear. But his real answer was Manu, because for his entire career, he could never figure out what he would do.
    Kobe said the same thing. When Manu entered the league, they had to adjust to his playstyle and pace because it was something they've never seen before.
