Do you think Manu Ginobili's career is underappreciated?
Yes
of course he is the 6th best 2 guard of all time behind MJ-Kobe-Wade-Clyde-Gervin-Manu
and i am the biggest fan of Vince-Tracy and will consider AI a point for now. this is for the modern Era cause im not counting West
Yes
Slightly.
Big time
The man won at every level. No ego. Heart of a lion. Winner. Leader.
He's all that but not better than Duncan!
@Diego Valdez it was skip that started it bu saying Ginobili is top 30 player! Ridiculous
*Ahem* LeBron...
juanio greatest spur Duncan or many?
@Diego Valdez divide & conquer programming that sports stimulates from a child we are probed into competition .
We battle over nothingness
Completion vs competition
I miss the days when Charles Barkley screamed "GINOBILI!" #GraciasManu
I thought it was KENNY
@@seanwilson8168 Nope.....Chuck
@@jerry85g7 ok thx
Seize 3 Yes!!! :D :D :D
When the NBA was competitive..yea I remember that
Manu is freaking big time. The guy only took like 12 shots per game during his prime. He could easily average 20+ points but he chose to let his teammates eat. Mad respect.
Shannon has never been so wrong. I'm glad Skip called him out for it. Duncan was a better player but they never would've won as much as they did without Ginobili.
If he was that good why didnt he start?
@@alexedsell8138 Because it was more beneficiary if he came off the bench.
@@Abbad1579 he was good no doubt. But the best players are never on the bench and never in history has it been if you are better than the starters are you on the bench.
@@alexedsell8138 You know Manu used to be a starter lol? And when he went to the bench, he had the best years of his career.
"Those who know... know." There ain't ever been a truer statement. Every person that legitimately watched Ginobili play had their moment where they were like "Ginobili is actually the scariest guy in this game."
Amen to that.
Only white people had those moments. Other races saw the big fundamental
my favourite player, his passing and motor, he made me fall in love with this game. I don't really care if he is top 20 or outside top 50, he was fire and joy personified
I dont know if Manu is top 30, but Shannon calling him just a "good player" is insulting.
J Black manu was incredible what’re you talking about
J Black Yeah man, he was. That guy could have easily averaged 25 a game on another team as a starter.
J Black because he was a spur and made the sacrifice to come off the bench ..he easily would have avg 25-30ppg
Ginobili is ICONIC
Reeko Shannon said he was great
Ginobili was an AMAZING player.
I watch him play and his game transcended stats. To me he is the first in line example of how stats can be deceiving.
Again, amazing player, high IQ, crafty, heart of a lion and winner.
Thank you Manu for the years of basketball you give us.
I mean stats arent really deceiving in his case. He came off the bench so his stats arent expected to be crazy. When he started he put up the numbers
@@TheIcemanthomas what he means by that is, the plays you have to watch the game to see what manu did like when he locked up james harden or when he sparked a team run you cant find a stat for that
stats are the most important aspect from a player that is a starter can we stop with this narrative
@@erionfetahaj8851 not really all nba players and coaches will tell you that they have a certain player, or players that impact the game in a way the doesnt show up on the stat sheet the old draymond green is an example, andre igoudala when he won his finals mvp, and ginobli, thats why people always say its better to watch the games they dont have a stat for everything like drawing charges saving the ball with good hustle, yea stats tell you alot but if you depend on them too much you wouldn't understand what really happens in the games
@@coldkilladubk8373 i know what he meant. I'm saying that because typically that is something said about guys who are particularly known for putting up number. Ginobli has and can put up numbers. I'm saying stats can explain his play. His stats dont show it because he isnt starting, not only because hes an intangible guy. He does do the small things that don't show up in stats, but that's not why his stats arent amazing is all I'm saying.
People don’t really understand how great Ginobli truly was, one of the greatest passers I’ve ever seen as well
He’s a First Ballot Hall of Fame without a doubt he was special
This aged beautifully
Spot on!
👏👏👏
Not because of his NBA career but his international career which Shannon eluded to.
Ginobili was the reason I didn't fall asleep watching Spurs games
Thank you
this comment is enough for manu to be in all time greats.
kiLLjoy24CALI tony Parker I thought was the quickest or near the quickest at getting to the rim and finishing for a few seasons. Manu was More Spurs PG than Parker lol
I agree
Acting as if Basketball is a sport that is exciting.
Skip is the only one who gives Ginobli the respect he deserves..
He give him a little too much respect. Tim Duncan was more important to the spurs than Manu and Manu is not a top 30 player of all time. Skip tend to be bias towards players he love. He the same guy who said Scottie Pippen is not a top 50 player. Scottie Pippen is a better overall player than Manu Ginobili. Overall manu is a great player and was underrated his whole career.
Has anyone looked at manu ginobili's stats for his career? He was impactful but he did not have the numbers to even be considered a top 50 player.
@@leonardmcafee6937 Let's not act like players in the top 50 was nearly as clutch as Manu, cuz that's when his game was at his highest level imo
Say what you want, but he's still not top 50.
@@glyde1000 there are plenty of clutch players that are not top 50. Lou Williams, Derek fisher, Andre igudala, Joe Johnson, Brandon Roy . I could go on but the point is he averages about 13 points a game with 3 rebounds and 4 assists. An injury prone d Rose and Lou Williams average more than that. There are 8 rookies and about 20 nba sophmores that have better numbers than that on less developed teams. Manu is great. Creative. Clutch. Has great moments but the truth is he is primarily great because of the team he was on. Much like how Draymond may not be as impactful if not on this current Golden State team.
How is the guy who made the euro step not a transcending player 👀
Stop talking facts
Thank you
If he created the euro step... then it shouldn't be called euro step
@@alegomso Mostly because he... haven't created it :D It was used in Europe WAY earlier and it began to exist in NBA with influx of euro/post-soviet players after fall of Iron Curtain. Check for example Šarūnas Marčiulionis. Move was popularized in NBA by Manu, but he for sure haven't "created" it :)
sergman1 lol i know he didn’t create it... i only mentioned it because he’s not european.
Yes. Sarunas Marciulionis brought the Euro step to the NBA. Manu was an extremely athletic yet very crafty player. A hall of famer for sure. He did things that allowed his team to win games. Skip and Shannon made statements that showed me that they don’t understand the game extremely well. But they have a right to their own opinions as well as others.
Manu deserved more All Stars games and 2005 final MVP
Overrated
@@musicmonster3033 highest win shares in playoffs history and winning at every level professionally is overrated? Lmao sit
Im with Skip on this one. Manu is FAR greater than just a great player. The man WAS PHENOMENAL.
Disagree
00Mindi00 not Top 30 of all time my G!
So am i. And i hate how Skip disses Pippen.
Manu Ginobili #20 is the Greatest 6th man in the history of the NBA, Period!
Robert horry
Philip Meade Nope
i will give you that but he aint a top 30 player, i will give 7 sg on top of my head that are better than him ,mj-kobe-dwade-jerry west -walt fraizer-clyde drexler and james harden
James harden is trash hes a diva like lebron that's why kobe made a statement on him saying that type of basketball dont win championships but manus style 4 rings cough cough
Havlicek should've been starting but he was insane off the bench
Manu Ginobili was one of the best hustlers in basketball history next to Dennis Rodman. Playground basketball players know what I mean. But he was all over the damn place chasing down balls & defenders. His energy was off the charts.
I usually agree more with Shannon than Skip, and during those Spurs runs I usually rooted for the other teams, but man, Manu was an absolute Beast!!! I like how Skip gave him his due props but Shannon has no arguments for not recognising the accomplishments of a Legend on his retirement ceremony... Wow, Manu, we miss watching you, you're an inspiration! The comparisons to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are legit.
Manu dunked on Miami heat to avenge the prior year's lost was my favorite Manu moment. What a legend!
EuroLeague, NBA, Olympics.
Futhermore, Melo = 0 rings, laughed at coming up the bench.
Ginobili = 4 rings, begrudge coming off the bench but accepted it because that's what teamball needs.
Manu missed 1 of the final game ending free throws in 4th quarter of game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals. If he made it the Spurs would have won that championship lol.
manu is the only guy in the spurs that scared me when facing against nash-led suns in the mid 2000’s...no one can stop him
@@eddieanderson9399 kawhi's miss was more crucial
@@johnnybgoode4778 Manu had a terrible turnovers and bricks that game as well. He blew game 6 more than anyone.
Lol melo ain’t even top 100 in my opinion for that exact reason you mention.
4 rings and a gold medal! LEGEND
Don’t forget a euro chip
and now HoF
Plus world cup and FIBA championships
I had never ever seen a boring performance of Manu Ginobili. Even in a bad day he would do something special for the team. His impact on the game was unmeasurable. No Stats needed to talk about Manu Ginobili.
Born & raised in San Antonio Spurs fan for life met Manu the year he was drafted he came to my school & played ball with us little did i know he'd become one of the greatest of all time really feels good seeing all the love from around the world in these comments and of course from Skip #GoSpursGo #GraciasManu
A lot of teams will rather have a “Ginobili” than a “Harden” especially in the playoffs
Exactly dude.
Yeah he showed the Rockets that a few years ago.
Last time he was in the playoffs he blocked harden right lmaooo
Anyone who would take Harden over Ginobili in the playoffs doesn't know basketball.
ginobili> har en . manu actually played defense .
He beat duncan,carmelo lebron and iverson in 2004, tell me one player that has take down a team like that
Facu G if hes so good why has he never won an mvp or even a finals mvp
Well lebron and melo didn't even play
Zion Williamson
Facu G well lebron and melo had just got to the league so
You can Larry brown coaching he barely played the young talent...so technically he didnt beat lebron and melo or wade
The Olympic gold medal proved Manu's greatness. ¡Gracias Menu!
GinobiliiiiI!! I never was a Spurs fan until he joined the Team. In my TOP 3 of all-time Favorite NBA Players. Loved the way he approached and played the game! Thank you Manu!
Manu was *THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER* of the 2005 NBA Finals - trophy or not.
Ask the Pistons.
Darren Gordon-Hill I'm a spurs fan and I think that true
Watched that series. Yeah, he got robbed by Timmy.
Darren Gordon-Hill I was a teenager and watched him in awe. His clutch shooting, defense, and intellectual jumped out the screen. He was special during those Finals and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Fax
I would have given it to big shot bob before manu
Manu does deserve more respect ✊🏿
I really don’t know where manu is ranked but he deserves our respect and he was one of the greats.
He beat the so called dream team and took the gold came in and took the championship and was a dream to work with and beloved by his coach for all the right reasons. The guy is a shining example for any athlete in history.
What Shannon has said about Ginobili was straight up disrespectful, like what Skip said, only the people who really watched Ginobili play knew how good and how special he was.
They also kno how dirty of a player he was and that's the reason Shannon doesn't like him
He was a third option player throughout his nba career
@@jonjohnson1978. he sacrificed himself for the greater goods, he's always going to be the first or the second options in any other teams during his prime.
@@superbilly16 being a first option elsewhere doesn't make u a top 10 or 30 player, that's my only issue with skips comments
Dude you like it doesn't make it true, Id like to think your mom's hot but she ain't either. Manu is top 30 that's dead right there. 6th man on a dynstay
Manu is the best 6th man to come off the bench and start in the starting lineup
Lou Williams would like a word...
@@bio1990 james harden would like a word....
Sam Co 4 chips will end the discussion
@@wj7689 fair but you can't tell me that Lou doesn't have ice in his veins
Lou Williams ALL DAY
I'll never forget game 7 of the finals against the Pistons who beat the Shaq/Kobe Lakers 4-1 the year before. It was that time in the 4th quarter when buckets were hard to get. Ginobili had the ball outside the three point line. He sliced through the Pistons defense and two hand dunked it. Changed the momentum of the game. It doesn't get more clutch than that.
Damn Shannon was lowkey disrespectful in this one 😂😭😂
He had to cause skip is fantasizing
@@ramzyy5362 I don’t agree with skip on a lot of things but anyone that knows anything about 2000s basketball knows he’s not fantasizing about anything. He’s not a very good player he’s an all time great player that changed the game. He’s the greatest sixth man ever and a first ballot hall of famer. One of the greatest slashers ever in an era where there was trees guarding the basket
He was right
Skip will do that to you , the man said Manu was better than Duncan 😑 how?
@@jacksonsmith4935you're an idiot. You only think that because you and ginobli are white
Of course Shannon hates Ginobili. He’s part of the reason Lebrons Finals record is so bad 😂😂
Do you watch basketball Manu was never the best player over Duncan are dumb
Money Mitch Skip was wrong saying Ginobili was better Duncan is a top 10 player. But Manu should’ve won Finals MVP in 2005 series against Detroit. Shannon acts like he’s some role player
Lose in 7 while scoring more total points.
Win in 5 by a record total point margin.
7-15 vs GSW in the Finals
So much to cry about...
There was no hate just facts
Good point
For once I can agree with Skip on an NBA topic...respect...this is why Ginobili is in my top 3 favorite of all time
Well your top 3 sucks bro
My top 10 for sure
U have my respect bro
I dont get what yall are smoking...manu isnt even near top 50..he has lass than average stats no mvps no defensive payers of the year, no rookie of the year, and never led his team in ANY STATISTACAL CATEGORY...so on what basis is he even close to being even considered a hall of fame or even a top 10 spur player??? A clutch shot here and there???? Common...he cant be concidered great because he was foreign and just there...there has to be substance..and ive yet to see where there is cerdibility other than" you just HAVE TO WATCH" OR HAVE TO HAVE BEEN THERE" wheres the facts...him being your" favorite" doesnt have substance or evedence that it is factually true..
alex edsell u didn’t watch San Antonio basketball
Shannon has never been so wrong and that's impressive
Hall of Fame for sure!! What a career.
4 NBA championships in 16 years in the league, the man is a Legend.
Gold medal for Argentina. May be his biggest accomplishment.
A legend in Argentina for sure.
God damn, Shannon is a hater this episode. Ginobili BLED excellence, this is coming from a Steve Nash era Suns fan. So much respect for Manu, we will miss you.
Ok, but he's still not top 50
Jason Smith your right he’s top 30
Just giving skip bayless his own medicine.
I like manu but shannon is just gvng facts. Skip was given a medicine by shannon. U r a hater.😂😁
DoubleFailMech Versatile and highly effective scorer, one of the greatest passers in NBA history, tenacious defender and is a full on team player who is willing to do even the little things to win.
Manu showed that he could be successful on any team when he won with Argentina
Us mens hockey beat the Russians in 80, didnt make any of them great
jon Johnson embarrassing comparison, it’s not the only thing that made him great, but it proved he could lead a team and not just ride other players like Shannon was saying
@@zackreynolds7590I disagree, winning a one off game is a lot different than a 7 game series,
Im from Argentina, i lived in Argentina my entire life, i followed Manu's carreer, Europe, NBA, Olimpic Team. Saying that he is in a pedestal in Argentina just or mostly because he won a gold medal is not only not knowing the Argentinian people, is being ignorant and disrespectfull. Manu is on a pedestal in Argentina for what he is, what he represents, what he has shown us he can do and how proud he make us feel. Most of that is reflected in the words of his partners and opponents in the NBA. What was reminded the oder night. Im sorry, i dont care if he is not his favourite player, but that does not give him the right to disrespect an entire country. His arguments, his words are just disrespectfull and sad.
This is America. We don't care. Keep that crying bs in your own country
He didn't disrespect your country at all in this video.
Ginobili is one of the all time greats. He's a big reason the Spurs were so dominant. He had a huge impact on the playing styles of every player in the NBA, especially Wade who adopted Manu's euro step better than any other player. His tenancity on defense and offense is to be respected - a true champion.
He will never be unappreciated for the sacrifices hes done for my spurs. #GRACIASMANU
Top 30 or top 50 ..... I have nothing to do with the stats as a fan..... I just want to see my fav player go out and play. His ceremony was for the fans and not for the analysts. Love Manu and and let's go spurs
One of the few times Skip is right, an all time great..we will miss him..
As a die hard laker and Kobe fan when we played the spurs repeatedly in the playoff the player on that team who scared me the most was manu n for a period of time I also think he was the best overall player on their team he could score rebound a GREAT passer and could defend and draw charges and they gave him the ball to close so it’s not far fetched to say he was the best player
Really? You couldn’t stop Duncan... and didn’t Tony Parker always tear y’all up. Manu had the black mamba to worry about lol.
Elijah Fields Duncan, Robinson, and kawhi are clearly better. I would take Manu over TP any day tho.
Ginobli was robbed the 05' NBA Finals MVP !!
Big time... he was by far the best player on the court and he was the only reason they destroyed that Pistons defense that seemed unbeatable... Manu was that unpredictable guy that was just unguardable cause no defense could read him...
God bless you, I thought nobody remember it anymore.
Arnaldo Andres absolutamente!
If you look at Manu's stats in the 4 Finals Games the Spurs won, he was no doubt the MVP of that Finals.
Cameron Ching that was the least watched finals in nba history! Ratings were horrible people probably forgot because most didn’t watch it lol 😂🤷🏾♂️
Shannon 🤦stop it ....he beat the USA in the olympics ...give the man his Respect
Ginóbili was the King in europe when he leaves. Then goes to the NBA and make the Spurs better in a level nobody could imagine and then he win gold Medall with Argentina.
Nobody has a complete career like this
Luka is up next
@@brunoleal5400 Luka is a generational genius. even better than Petrovic. RIP
@@FatStarZzzz luka is no Manu ginobili
@@soccercodes7943 Whut?!? saying this about? I compared Manu to Kukoc... what about Luka?
@@FatStarZzzz you can’t compare kukoc to ginobili ever, kukoc lost 123-85 in the gold medal match against the USA, ginobili actually beat the USA 89-81.

Allen Iverson
@@Top-Kek no contest, he’s also in the list.
@ReturnoftheBrotha yeah, bro! Pioneer when it came to play styles. Check the resumé!
@@darcuscoleman5307 he was the first player to get Respect for European players
Stop the madness. Great player. Not transcendent. Period
When you having that beautiful moment remembering one of your heroes.....then your best bud kills the moment drinkin that "HAT-OR-ADE!!!"
Manu “Obi one Ginobili” was amazing and definitely under appreciated by those outside Spurs. But those who actually watched him play know how great he was as a player and a person. He along with Duncan and Parker never went around beating their chest to try to prove they are better than everyone else, they just left it on the court and let the ball do the talking. Those he played against definitely know how good he was.
He made the eurostep better and brought it to the nba and yes his career has been underappreciated
If he invented the Euro step shouldn't it be called the Argentinian step?
@@KNByam obviously you don't know basketball
He's not American, bothered with swag or stat padding so doesn't get the universal adulation from the casual hypebeast fans. That Olympics win was legendary.
It was his signature move. Just like CP3, Rondo, D Rose all did the teardrop. A long time ago.
Yeap Marciulionis brought the euro step. FACTS
Loved playing with Manu on 2K. The guy was clutch.
@Lonzo Ball NEVA LOSS
When he blocked James harden lo
Seriously, Shannon? No respect
Skip: Takes a silent breath
Shannon: Now Skip I let you have you turn. It’s my turn to talk now.
You all know how much i love my man Manu and im the biggest Spurs fan since the ABA george the ice man Gervin day
After my man Michael Jeffery Jordan and D-wade , manu is definitely my favorite player to watch
Everytime I watched him he did something that made me say “I’ve never seen THAT before”
Before D-Wade.
@@David-mu8hn After d-wade
Marciulionis brought the euro step
to nba.
You somehow forgot to mention the time Ray Allen saved Lebron's legacy lmao
@@clutchitout1045 and that only happened bc Pop stupidly benched Duncan when Spurs needed a rebound.
2005 Manu Ginobili should have been finals MVP! Manu was the best player for the Spurs for that series, HANDS DOWN!
I stand on that... I have told any and every bball lover that Tony n Timmy D dont have 4 chips without Manu
Michael Spragan and Manu don’t without them what’s ur point
Razor58 if you watched the video, Shannon said Manu wasn’t the best Spur for a season or series. Manu was the best player for that 2005 season. I guarantee you, if you ask any of those Detroit players they would tell you he was the best player for the Spurs. Manu would have been Harden if he had control of a team and Harden would have been Manu if he was still coming off the bench like he did in OKC.
I would have been okay with Manu winning co-MVP with Duncan. Tim had to deal with a three-headed monster in the paint named Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, and Antonio McDyess, and Duncan's help down low was Robert Horry and Nazr Mohammed. I don't see how the Spurs win that series without either Manu OR Tim.
I agree, 100%. As a guy who watched every minute of that series (I was a Pistons fan), even I said RIGHT AFTER, that Manu should have won MVP. No doubt.
Drip Bayless thank you for understanding the happiness Uncle Ginobili brought to us on the court 🙏
Manu is one of the best players ever. He was good in every single aspect of the game. The most complete player ive ever seen.
Manu was an amazing player, one of a kind. No ego just came off the bench and produced and won. He's top 40-50
Manu Mentality.
Like Manu.
If you know anything about or love BASKETBALL (not highlights, not handles, not sneakers, not "GOAT") you know Skip is 100% correct and that retirement ceremony was PURE TRUTH.
So tim dincan was all about highlights? How can you say manu was beter tham tim? Becouse in my opinion tim duncan is top 5 all time ahead of kobe and shaq and even if he is not everybody agrees he is top 10.
@bojo perez i don't know what to say to you...
Yes he is the best player from argentina ever, he is a great person, really good nba player, san antonio probably wouldn't have won so many championships without him... doesn't make him a top 10 player, or top 30 maybe he is top 50 but probably he is between 50 and 60. He played 25 minutes per game, 30 in his best years, started 74/74 games once and avereged 16/3,4/4,4 then started 79/80 games played and avereged 17/5/4. But hey if he played 40 minutes per game he would be top 5 all time...
@bojo perez They only left because they HAD to!!
Outside of arena management, few there were "clock watching", no "Wrap this up" type rumblings from a weary audience, NOTHING BUT LOVE... all for a nobody flopping whiney pine riding foreigner.
@bojo perez It's called agreement and mockery of opposition's description of him.
Read it again...
Skip is right, again.
Manu was more aggressive than Timmy, or any of the Spurs really
But to say Manu was better than Tim? That’s too much
@@mihir702 not that. His winning impact was bigger, his spirit his energy spurs wouldnt have won nth without him.
@@alejoarias1795 Is that why they won in 1999 without him?
@@alejoarias1795 The spurs won a chip without manu. And in 2003 when the spurs won the chip, manu averaged 8 points, 2 assists on terrible efficiency.

Unc being disrespectful today. Ginobili definitely was a amazing player, and tough defender and made some clutch shots in big time moments regular season and post season.
Skip wakes up disrespectful
He was clutch but Manu is not top 50 All-Time lmao
international games also!
@@tribalchiefxxw9158 he's top 10
His Olympic gold medal is one of the greatest achievements of any basketball player ever considering what/who he was up against. Incredible player, he was a winner. Period.
Shannon's comment with the haircut had me on the floor laughin🤣🤣🤣🤣
Got to respect Ginobili. He is a great player who played well for a hard to play for coach
Sometimes Shannon kills me with his basketball analysis. He reminds me of that kid at the lunch table that knows every statistic but doesn't know anything because he doesn't appreciate the killer instinct in the basketball world. I'm glad Skip called him naive.
Frankie Eteuati i agree nowadays its hard to argue about basketball and who the better player because people are just watching highlights and looking at the box score
Shannon saying facts. .skipp is just amazed of manu. .because of play making ..but manu is not the great player of the team. .coz the great player of spur team is coach gregg.
Manu was good but not top 30, skip was being ridiculous
@@russmatthew7120 he is a top 30 ....don't worry...u won't see a guy like him again ...i can assure u that
@@princeatc exactly.....only highlights and some stats
Shannon actually got me mad on this one. Coming from a SuperSonics/Thunder fan, Manu is goated. Shannon’s disrespect is off the charts. He literally doesn’t make any sense in his arguments. “Ima give him credit” then proceeds to do the exact opposite. “Ima give him his moment” the proceeds to give a terrible argument why he wasn’t important to the spurs dynasty. For shame Shannon Sharpe for shame.
Lmao Shanon came in ready to be disrespectful 😂
He’s mad because he stunk in championships.
One of the most clutch players I've ever seen
Chessbox09 so clutch his FT miss cost the spurs the 2013 title.
I moved from Detroit to San Antonio between the '04 and '05 finals, and I can tell you that, although Tim and Tony were better than Manu, the sound of cars driving down the street honking after Manu put the nail in the coffin will be burned into my memory like a nightmare for all time.
I think manu is better than timmy
Big 3 was no joke
Manu was by far the best player on the court in those finals... he was the Finals MVP and it shows you how selfless he is because he was robbed of it and still didn't care...
Do you still live here?
Malaki Cowboys better then Timmy are you a fool better Rev Parker yes
Lol why was Shannon so heated by this? 😂😂😂 It's actually comical
Not top 30 but definitely top 50. A genuis player. He might not have the numbers but if you actually watched Manu, than you know how amazing he was. The greatest 6th man in history.
He aint no way near 50 there are over 50 superstars of all time
He did beat the dream team and won 4 nba championships. He also brought the euro step to the nba.
@@marufioPeople keep ignoring that fact and try to erase it because he is from the spurs. People hate the spurs tbh because they were not flashy and got the job done. If there are rookie players that are already mature and are not in the NBA to get clout then Spurs is the way to go. Spurs and Lakers dominated the 2000s era cause they would stop each other from getting rings.
Damn spurs have had some legends on the team , Iceman , Tony Parker , David Robinson , Ginobli , Tim Duncan , kawai
As a Lakers fan, Ginobili was a problem to deal with!
Manu is like an in-between superstar like a Jordan/Kobe and a glue guy like Rodman/Draymond.He just does a lot of the intangibles and a very reliable go to guy if needed.
Love Manu he's the man
"Those who know, know." Amen
Ik MJ is the GOAT ,& I was able to witness him but Manu Ginobli has been my favorite NBA players to watch. He's my #1 fav n his basketball skills & IQ are one of a kind.
Just listen to the intensity and the spirit skypp puts in his words... breathtaking
Manu Ginobili #1!
PERIOD
Did Shannon just compare Manu to Robert Horry?
Luke Koebele 🎯
Bob was more clutch...
Maurice Williams Manu was overall a better player tho
Clearly you aren’t able to compartmentalize a conversation. He was making a point that being clutch, doesn’t make you the best player. Hopefully this helps your comprehension.
@@Bigfoot985 like how you compartmentalize rhetorical questions? I understand the argument that being clutch does not make a great player but if you ever saw Manu play (and Shannon obviously didn't as Skip says) knows very well that he literally did everything! Including clutch moments. And that is not the definition of one Robert Horry.
Skip Bayless is on point!!! I agree with everything he said!!! Manu Ginobili is one of the best players!!
I love Manu Ginobili. Maybe the most underrated player of all time.
Michael Finley was amazing too on the spurs as well manu said that when they won this one is for Michael Finely
I don't think he was top 50 but I'm 100% sure this guy was awesome to watch and he was the reason all of us were talking 2004-05-06-07 & year after year and on every hood court after a lot of the regular season and NBA playoffs when the Spurs were playing. HE WAS REALLY SPECIAL!!! Thank you Manu💪🏽👍🏼
@@ardinhajihil5011 Don't understand at all your question or comment sorry
If Ginobli stayed in the starting unit then he would've outshined Timmy and Tony easily.
@@ComaAlpha That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. And I’ve been a spurs fan since 2001
Sounds like you never watched him.
Opinion automatically considered invalid
Mad props to Manu from a diehard Kobe/Laker fan. Thanks for all of the great memories. One of the greatest of my generation.
For the first time in my life, I'm agreeing with Skip Bayless.
This shannon picture is crazy... Manu was amazing
Skip overrated him, Shannon underrated him. Simple as that.
Exactly my thoughts when watching this.
Smite Stuff FACTS
so top 40, sold!
I don't think shannon underrated him to be honest
Skip was legit being a prisoner of the moment... No one ever mentioned ginobili as the second best two guard in the game outside of that scouting report... People are starting to overrate him... How can he be underrated if everyone calls him underrated?
The year when spurs beat pistons to win the championship, in my opinion manu should be the finals MVP, not duncan.
I watched his entire career. Loved every minute of it 👏🏽
There would be no James harden without manu
Facts
...what?
@@brandonrice2833 what boy
@@brandonrice2833 harden copied manu style of play, even the eurostep and some passing skills
@@now_watch_this Even the game winning blocks 🤣
LeShannon just hating. Spurs spanked Lebron too many times.
Lol true.😂
name one person on the spurs whos better than lebron
Jayy
Tim Duncan
@@Frostshokula HAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHHAHHHHAHAAHAHHHHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... wait ur serious?
Jayy
Tim Duncan is the GOAT at his position. Lebron isn’t.
Ginobili ...was a special player ....you watch him and you see it ....what a talent scoring the basketball ( that reverse dunk) ....had such a graceful althetic mobility ....Thank Mr Ginobili..
Yeah, that makes him special. Winning Impact
Give me Manu every day every game every night, ever.
