Ginobli in his prime 2005-2010 was unbelievable top 10 player in the league. The only SG in the NBA that gave Kobe problems. As a Lakers fan i have so much respect for Ginobli.
In an era where Duncan, KG, Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Nash, Dirk, CP3, Carmelo, and even Dwight played some MVP-level basketball, being a top 10 player in the NBA was no small feat. All of those guys mentioned (except Dwight) are on the NBA75 list, and Manu deserves that recognition also. In 2008, Manu was one of the very best players in the NBA on both sides of the ball, and although anyone watching the games could tell you that just based off the eye test, his advanced stats just objectively prove it. He was 7th in PER, 6th in WS/48, 6th in VORP, 6th in OBPM, 5th in DBPM, and 3rd in BPM! He played only 31 minutes per game, coming off the BENCH! Absolutely insane. He was certainly robbed of an All-Star selection this year. This man falls somewhere between the 5th to 8th greatest SGs of all-time in my book, it’s a shame he will probably never get that recognition. When people argue against Manu being a first ballot HOFer, I can’t help but to feel offended on his behalf, although I’m sure he himself could care less. Manu was always about doing whatever was needed for his team to win, individual stats and accolades be damned. I truly admire Manu for his greatness as a player, his all-time competitive fire and passion for the game. And I equally admire him as a man, for his selfless nature and impeccable character. I miss seeing him on the court so much.
“Only sg that gave Kobe problems”. I mean Iverson, Wade, & Mcgrady also gave Kobe problems to. You should’ve seen what Iverson did to Kobe during the 1999 lockout season and Wade did to him during Christmas 2006, both gave him 40 plus piece and were insanely quick.
Lituania always is among the best basketball team in the world. Great three points shooters and big atlethic center players. Sabonis is the best european center of all times. When he played for the soviet union he was just unstoppable. And in the nba he was an amazing player. You should be proud of lithuanian basketball history 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Buen defensor, buen penetrador, buen tirador de media y larga distancia, buen asistidor, inteligente, rebelde y líder.. simplemente único, el mejor jugador de la historia de Argentina.
Manu Ginobili is just a winner.He have won three nba rings 2003,2005,2007, one gold medal in olympic games 2004, beating usa with Tim Duncan,Lebron James,Melo and Wade,and won euroleague basketball with Kinder Bologna being MVP in athens 2004 and eurolegue 2002.HE IS JUST A WINNNEEER
Al ver esto de manu , dejando ya su prime, demuestra lo bestia que era primero como jugador y después como anotar y defensa y verdadero jugador completo, totalmente subestimado pero ala hora del partido siempre cerrando bocas...
Way back when Manu was young, fast and had a full head of hair! I called him "The Human Pinball" because he would ricochet through the defense, bouncing like a pinball off every player on his frantic flight to the hoop!
Who shoots better? Manu Who passes better? Manu More athletic? Lbj More strength? Lbj More creativity? Manu Better ball handling? Manu So whose the better offensive player? Manu Lbj is better defensively though. Manu wins Manu is better
miketherealest100 no way, he just has the ball more and plays more minutes. Look up any manu ginobili highlights for some of the best passes IN Traffic you will ever see. Lebron is very strong and penetrates and kicks it out to the shooters, thats his main passing asset.
***** LeBron doesn't post better. His post game is seriously his biggest weakness. This is slightly offset by his strongest asset, his ability to get fouls at will.
incluso los relatores decian constantemente que no creian en la cantidad de puntos que estaba haciendo Ginobili. Fue siempre subestimado por relatores y la liga en general. Esta formación con Oberto fue increíble
this guy was the reason why I started following NBA in 2005... as a kid, I grew up idolizing MJ, as teen, it was Manu all the way.. In this game, you can view this as a head-to-head bout and Lebron lost to Manu..
I mean, I am sick of the commentator here. He got high for lebron's every single move, even it was just a jump shot. But for Manu, he was just like, "he is a good player, he got a free run, defense is too easy." BIASED
Agree 100%, I thought I was being unfair but that commentator was biased , of course if Manu had been of an african descent his comments would've been so much more generous, a darn racist if you ask me.
are u guys serious? its the cavs announcers, of course they are going to be biased towards the home team, its there fucken job, just like the spurs announcers do when cleveland goes to there....
Who is the commentator for Cleveland saying that you need to drop Ginobili? Look, I'm all for that strategy. I do it myself as a big man...But has the guy ever seen Ginobili play? Ginobili doesnt care in the slightest.
Manu has amazing basketball IQ. If he wasn't in Spurs he could be someone with a similar stats as Wade, with more assists. However, with that being said, his number of rings owned will be significantly decreased as well.
In ginobili's prime, he receive a lot of flagrant fouls, because they just hate him, he'd been a headache not only in the nba but on international competition as well.
Watching this makes me think "what if Manu was a full-time starter and not the sixth man in San Antonio? Would he have had games similar to this nightly?"
Ginobli in his prime 2005-2010 was unbelievable top 10 player in the league. The only SG in the NBA that gave Kobe problems. As a Lakers fan i have so much respect for Ginobli.
Manu vs Kobe amazing duels.. nacional teams or in the nba

should’ve been on that top 75 team

manu is so underrated... he could have easily put 25 pts a night numbers, but he does what the team needs... amzing - smartest player in the NBA
Fact: Manu should be included in the 75 greatest players In Nba history.
Manu GInobili is the Most Underrated Player Of All Time
Can't believe Manu shot 75% in this game
Respect to Argentina - best S. America basketball team, from Lithuania - best small nation in basketball :)
Lituania always is among the best basketball team in the world. Great three points shooters and big atlethic center players. Sabonis is the best european center of all times.

2021, watching this. I hope Manu gets to the Hall of Fame... what a beast.
You have it

Obožavao sam ga, neverovatan igrač! Mi u Srbiji smo imali uvek samo poštovanje za ekipu Argentine i Manua Ginobilia, strašna generacija je to bila!
Buena descripcion, manu era el paquete completo.
@@brracaМој најомиљенији страни играч. Као и Аргентина од страних репрезентација.
Smartest NBA player ever
Lebron James is a great athlete but Manu Ginobili "knows how to win".
Manu Ginobili is just a winner.He have won three nba rings 2003,2005,2007, one gold medal in olympic games 2004, beating usa with Tim Duncan,Lebron James,Melo and Wade,and won euroleague basketball with Kinder Bologna being MVP in athens 2004 and eurolegue 2002.HE IS JUST A WINNNEEER
Was at this game. Absolutely incredible performance by Manu. Legend.
Manu was just sick. That was amazing. Those clutch threes, that was so cold. And even with the game practically ended he went for the block on LeBron.
Manu in his prime. I wish it would've been longer. This dude could really ball.
and he can catch bats too.
Que partidazo de Manu, que manera de hacer callar a 20 mil personas cada 30 segundos 🤭🤭🤭
Dos argentinos titulares en el equipo campeón de la NBA. Eramos tan felices....
posta eramos tan felices lpm
Eramos felices y no lo sabíamos!! Si pudiera volver el tiempo me miraría, grabaría y repetiría TODOS LOS PARTIDOS de los spurs!! jajajaa

En el min 9:05 hace una delicia y ni les llama la atención a los relatores, pero Manu estaba lleno de esos detalles hermosos. Tremendo jugador
@@demi_martinez "Ginobili and the handle.."
@@demi_martinez es un jugadon el que hace... deja a todos mirando...💪
Congrats Manu Ginobli! FIRST TIME HALL OF FAMER!!!!! HATS OFF!!!
HALL OF FAME.
Partidazo de Manu está en modo Dios.
Manu FOREVER
Lo que jugó manu este partido no tiene sentido,que bestia!👌👏
San Antonio 112 - Cleveland 105. The only numbers Ginobili ever cared about.
this guy was the reason why I started following NBA in 2005... as a kid, I grew up idolizing MJ, as teen, it was Manu all the way..
In this game, you can view this as a head-to-head bout and Lebron lost to Manu..
Ginobili, one of the best!
Un animal! En esos años volaba, estaba un tiempo adelantado al resto
2 fav. players of all time MJ AND MG
Gino wasn’t playing around!
MANU estabas loco!!! Genio!!!
9:05 just Manu... Awesome player
he got past like 4 defenders.. we saw him got past the entire team..
@@jendoi Man, the entire team is 5, so... The difference
Manu for Hall of fame, a monster that day
manu one of the bests
Lo que hubiese sido Manu y Lebrón jugando en un mismo equipo!!! Show permanente
May be tonight could win his fourth ring GO SPURS GO
Manu is absolutely amazing
manu has more than them
I mean, I am sick of the commentator here. He got high for lebron's every single move, even it was just a jump shot. But for Manu, he was just like, "he is a good player, he got a free run, defense is too easy." BIASED

manu is so underrated, nba always denied spurs and manu legacy, but this videos will never be erased and this is the proof of his talent
they work for the cavs. they are supposed to be biased. every nba team has local guys.
are u guys serious? its the cavs announcers, of course they are going to be biased towards the home team, its there fucken job, just like the spurs announcers do when cleveland goes to there....
he was clearly commentating for the Cleveland broadcast, surely a Cavaliers fan
Muy merecido el Salon de la Fama al ver esto para Manu.
Damm manu was sickk
Top 75 easily
lebron's moves here is sick fast quick and strong i hope he plays like this again
Gracias Manu idoloooooo
Manu is a beast! Come on man. We need him to beat the Heats now.
and he still is today! still has it in him despite his age!
he was really the point guard
Who is the commentator for Cleveland saying that you need to drop Ginobili? Look, I'm all for that strategy. I do it myself as a big man...But has the guy ever seen Ginobili play? Ginobili doesnt care in the slightest.
Que buena garchada le pegó a lefrost
That 4th qtr FG% almost as good as game 1's 4th qtr in the 2014 Finals. Foreshadowing.
Ginobili Hall Of Fame Now
Go Spurs Go!!! They are 48-16 right now which is the best record in the NBA!!!
unstoppable manu!
Ginobli won that match up.
They went head to head in the final quarter, what a battle.
Ginobiliiii
Cuando Manu calentaba la muñeca no había con que darle. Bestial!!!!
Love this era growing up
no, the most came in an overtime win over the Suns, he puts 48pts and I remember he did a spectacular dunk over a few guys in that game.
Manu we need you now!!!
We need this Manu in game 5. C'mon!!!!!
and u had!
Go Spurs Go they are going to win
without ginobili the spurs wouldnt won the 2005 and 2007 finals
Manu educando a Lebron un gran alumno.
THIS IS SICK!!!
he played really good in the playoofs vs the warriors this year
I miss this Manu :(
eran re locales los relatores, aguante manu
i remember watching this, awesome game. if manu led his own team in his prime it would have been crazy
Impresionante lo de manu
Manu has amazing basketball IQ. If he wasn't in Spurs he could be someone with a similar stats as Wade, with more assists. However, with that being said, his number of rings owned will be significantly decreased as well.
Fue un DISTINTO en la NBA
Lebum always not wanting the responsability of taking the game over so people don't critizice him of not being able to close out games....
WOW manuuu
we need him to step up like this in game 7
Man hes good
Those who say Lebron is more of a flopper than Manu started watching the nba in 2010
now the real question is, can Lebron swat that bat..??
man, thats the question! hahaha
Manu genio
And Manu has the last laugh :)
His a beast'in his prime his handles,the way he XTEND his left arm to make his shot special,&the worst his eurostep_.so stunned.👀💀🔥😱🖕🖕🖕🖕
MANUUUUUUUUUU.
Lebron es y segira siendo siempre una madre
Ginobili god
AMAZING!!! do you have the full game??
In ginobili's prime, he receive a lot of flagrant fouls, because they just hate him, he'd been a headache not only in the nba but on international competition as well.
Bron threw tons of dimes here!
what a game
Watching this makes me think "what if Manu was a full-time starter and not the sixth man in San Antonio? Would he have had games similar to this nightly?"
Hubiese vivido roto, tenía mucha exposición, jugaba al límite y recibía muchos golpes
48. vs cavaliers too
You could see the hate from years for LeBron just be reading the comments
6:25 that was ode😂
Cometa cósmico de que planteta te escapaste
wow ginobili was quicker back in the day
this is sick. but was it the most score game for manu?
15/20 wow
He still can, with finesse moves
Sporting Manu Ginobili vs Sporting Lebron James
I miss the days.
5:26 killer crossover
