Man, crazy to think about!

Winning intangibles

He's 1st ballot HOF with just his NBA stats.

European champion as a player from Argentina? Damn, he must have been the GOAT

@@TheBijatch He was european champion with the italian team Bologna in the early 2000s.

Hiram Reyna lets not get carried away he doesn’t have the personality

@@GetNinged ever heard of kawhi leonard

Phil Mullane i think that’s different tho. his main stigma around him is the fact that he doesn’t smile and when he does it’s awkward. Manu is a legend but he’d be the same in any other team

I like manu but he’s not a first option on a great team sorry bro

Hiram Reyna Manu was very good but you are getting carried away. Just because some pieces work well together; doesn't mean they were work well separate

think luca

Lies Manu is a Hof no question but his individual accolades aren't that impressive

@@sosukegrim5908 Lmao, not that impressive yet good enough to get him a one-way ticket to Springfield.

@@kimj9022 I don't disagree I'm just saying his resume is not impressive he has no MVPs

Tmac & Grant hill are in the HoF and absolutely did 0 fuck Tmac Only hardware is scoring title then 0 fuck all star appearances it’s popularity contest 0 shot nothing nada why the hell he is in is a mystery to me 🤦‍♂️ he a cool guy but seems that being cool get you in now. Grant hill got 2 ncaa chips and a co rookie so already has more then Tmac and he in and I would put him in because it’s Basketball HoF not nba HoF and I’m being nice here but I respect 2 ncaa chips so no question. But Tmac ??? Ohhhhh hell naw. Talking about individual accolades??? Manu is the perfect example of a team player a player a actual athlete mindset he saw the bigger picture not his picture. Ask melo about that who will get in for fucking no reason but I give him ncaa chip that’s it . Olympic doesn’t mean shit USA is suppose to beat down everyone no contest no matter what no fucking excuse it’s more prestigious when another country lay the smackdown on USA it’s just the gift and curse. He got 1-2 scoring title that’s it nothing else but empty stats . So if those so call top guys are top guys can get in many should be dancing Laps around them easy trip 1st ballot HoF no hesitation no question no debate no nothing quit the bullshit gloryfying losers with not even serious hardwares. And I’m not even a many fan nor a hater but damn this man deserve all the respect in the world

@@theoneaboveall6768 Tracy & Hill dominanted the league for years

Underrated comment, the Spurs and the Lakers rivalry all those years was legendary and is underappreciated especially by newer basketball fans today.

WCF is the *real* "NBA Finals". Portland & Sacramento put up good fights. New Jersey & Indiana were home Finalists. Lakers went to four straight Finals... played a different team every time - meanwhile it was LAL *or* SAS repping the West for the best part of decade. Magic had Kareem AND Worthy. Malone, Stockton (or vice versa). Jordan, Pippen. Shaq, Kobe (or vice versa) Tim had Manu.

@폴Spurs Someday all you Warriors haters will look back fondly on the Warriors and Steph and KD and Klay and Draymond. Happens all the time. In the moment, you hate those guys. 10 years from now, you'll be like, "Wow that was a great team."

LØRD MCD lol well put 😂🙌🏼

I couldn't have said it better myself. GO SPURS GO!

Yes, he's the "Michael Jordan" of Argentina. Not on Jordan's level obviously but he has that same impact there as Jordan does here.

@@loveofmangos001 he also won championships without MJ unlike scottie.

@@sphere5282 Idk about that to be honest. Maybe Scottie Pippen could have won a ring if Rasheed Wallace was more mature and knew how to be a leader. Those early 2000's Blazers teams he played on were very good.

@@loveofmangos001 he had the opportunity to show he can win on his own & he fucked it up. do you know the story behind the game when Tony Kukoc hit the buzzer beater shot?

Yea if Lebron had the same character as Manu then may b I'll consider Lebron top 3.. Now after witnessing him for past 18 years.. he has turned him self from a man into a boy..

West was deep at the 2!

Allstar is a popularity thing...there are many allstar caliber player in the league

He played from the bench though. I watched him his entire career and he definitely played a part in those spurs championships. Hall of famer no doubt him playing from the bench hurt his personal stats but it helped his team win chips. I'll take a champion over an all star player any day. Manu sacrificed his game for the betterment of his team. Lot of players would be champions if they had that attitude. I always wonder what would have happened if Westbrook had adjusted his game to kd? Smh

being in the Spurs franchise is a great set back for a great player.. to be exact.. Tim in his prime years and MVP season is not a lead vote getter.. being labeled as a boring franchise before really sucks..

Esteban Aguayo he averaged 13.3 points per game and never averaged over 20 points in a season

Y lakers ?

@@jqa16 Because it was either Spurs or Lakers making it out the west.

My nickname for Manu back in the day was King Slasher.

Manu is my favorite spurs growing up but i hate they always cheated my Steve Nash led suns to the finals :(

Or actual basketball fans 😕😕😕

I think some guys could do it. Tim may have been humble enough to do it. Dirk I think would have been humble enough to do it, if it was for the benefit of the team.

It would be easy for me I'm getting my buckets in good minutes plus I can keep going at a longer rate. Starting is cool but playing longer coming off the bench is better imo

@@avreyo6645 IF Manu was a starter playing major minutes, he would have been a consistent All-Star, raking up INDIVIDUAL stats and winning more INDIVIDUAL awards. In NBA, INDIVIDUAL awards equates to a HIGHER salary. He basically SACRIFICED earning big bucks just to WIN.

@@kamotetops1572 DWade is what "Manu as a starter" looks like.

Manu came off the bench because coach Pop hates straight white guys, Pop's a leftist fruit loop liberal nut job. He probably hates his own skin.

Sean Lott now ready for reality you’re going to suck

@@alfredoalcantar8691 We're still in the playoffs...

Pop will never win another significant game in the NBA, Kawhi knew that. If you want to win again, fire Pop and get another Duncan!

Patriots

Don't forget the Admiral.

Well, he did steal Harden's soul with that block. That was my screensaver for a year

Benjamin From The Tribe of Judah With prime Duncan and LeBron! Phew.

Well, before Harden there's already a Ginobili.

Benjamin From The Tribe of Judah never forget that he had a great team around him and he didn’t do it by himself

Saint Aubyn Never forget on any team he was ever on all won championships so it’s not like if he played with the same players on Argentina as he did on the spurs or in Italy, he just wins

Lmao this is only the 957484748474747373 time somebodys noticed that and made a comment

Man that’s funny asf

Blake Pierce take your toxicity back to the Shit hole you come from.

Pseudo nym your gay

@@tomahawkinc5971 he wouldn't succeed at doing that though lol

Pure bap?

That 2014 spurs team is so underrated.

@@mdj2188 That team smoked the Heat in the finals and would beat this current Warriors team.

For a few hours? Yeah, ight. He's a beast tho

octavio araujo lmfao lebron stays gettin his ass busted 😂

Kevin Metzger facts the 2014 spurs are mad underrated

Ironic because argentinian soccer/football players are mostly toxic and use dirty tactics

@@evrenguerin64 man you're trippin lmao. Argentinians players are not even in the top 3 toxics players in south america. They play with all the hearth and passion and they have some of the most talented and skilled players in the world, not to forget Messi who is the GOAT. If having personality means being toxic to you fine, but you can't denied that Manu have that same level of passion and hearth that argentinians football players always carry

@@facucabral2304 maybe I miscommunicated my statement. I meant specifically football players, Manu is a class act. But look at what Erik Lamela did vs united. Theatricals. Gabriel Heinze was notorious for that carry on too

lmao just that classic argentinian exceptionalism on display XD bc theyre not latin RIIIGT or like the other latins.

@@anhiirr i'm not saying that argentinians are better than other latins or something like that, i'm argentinian and i can tell you as a country we suck like every other third world country. What i'm saying is we take sports and specially football pretty seriously and saying that players are dirty in general is straight not knowing what you saying

You mean in the NBA. He also played and won the Euroleague.

@@jaspionccv9426 of course. And also Argentina's national team, winning a gold medal.

Thank you Mano was the heart and soul of the Spurs

actually.. even when I love the 3 of them... we have to admit Pops is the real genius behind that moster called Spurs' Big 3...because even when the 3 of them were absolute legends, they needed a guy like Popovich to give them that sense of cohesive unit... of team... of family.. it's simply AMAZING the hability to manage teams for that guy... everybody is treated as a close relative...not just a single player... that's why the four of them were so beautiful to watch

@@spdutahraptor777 Pop is indeed a great coach. Wont take nothing from him. But the NBA is a players league. Tim Duncan is arguably the best Power Forward to ever play the game of basketball.

@@raymondbrown1598 oh, there's no doubt about that... but do you think these 3 guys would stick together for so long if it wasn't for a guy like Pop??

@@spdutahraptor777 Pop has put together some great teams! The Spurs are a world class organization. Wont take nothing away from them! He definitely kept the fort together!

He was also a great defensive player

You’re getting annoying commenting on every video with any sort of publicity.

Yes!

Kevin Nicholls I made a Manu Ginobili Career Mix to commemorate his jersey retirement and I would really appreciate it if you can take a look at it on my channel🙏

Should say "Refused to come off the bench when he wouldn't get the last shot in a playoff game."

Dimitri Serr I don’t blame the man

@@char4588 Why's that?

James Jackson so you condone quitting? Lead by example and quit life

Doomzday46 he looks like the sosodef mascot

Montażownia nr1 Did they win Gold? Last time I checked it was Argentina

@@nethbt when argentina won over the US in '04 olympics,he said that its not the US that is supposed to be unbeatable

@@mikerivers695 eh, Didnt he roster is quite good? While Argentina only have Manu

@@montazownianr1 LOL! Watch the game kiddo! That 2004 Team USA Olympic Basketball team had Allen Iverson, LeBron James and a prime Tim Duncan with 2004 NBA Champion coach Larry Brown. They were supposed to win Gold in that Olympics. Manu Ginobili was just on another level in that Olympics. And this is coming from the one who root for the Team USA 2004 to win it all.

Respect! I hated Kobe’s guts for a long minute and the fact he kept smacking my Spurs during his prime! I miss the good old Lakers/Spurs rivalry; we played some intense basketball back then! Salute to Manu but also salute back to the Black Mamba!

Thank you sir....and as a spurs fan I hated Kobe he was a killer for us ...but now I respect Kobe and his game✌

Manu was one of the main reasons Kobe and Fisher cried in '03. Basically ending that Shaq Kobe dynasty.

Facts Bro 😂🤣💯

I feel the same way towards Nash. The dude killed us many times lol

I mean I would put MJ, Kobe, Jerry West, Iverson, McGrady, Ray Allen and Harden above Manu but he's still 8th in my list so top 10 for sure. Better than Wade to me.

Ya Ginobili was a very selfless player an all star/superstar, very humble whatever role the coach really needed from him, he was there to deliver no matter what, for some players everything always have to be about them or else they will become toxic he was the opposite of that he was a true definition of a team player while at the same time he was a allstar/superstar.. those are the players you definitely want on your team..

Dominiguez bolo it’s rare to see players like that in the nba now😔

Bratty Neet I made a Manu Ginobili Career Mix to commemorate his jersey retirement and I would really appreciate it if you can take a look at it on my channel🙏

Manu probably wanted to be a multiple time all star and have those career accomplishments. Who wouldn't? The difference was that he wanted to win more than all of that.

money too, he could've been a Gordon Hayward type player AT LEAST moneywise and been paid the bank.

Thats something lebron never did and never will do, he only cares about his succes not about the team, and when his team is bad for a year he just leaves them for another superteam, i just dont get it how people cant see that

@@timonbubnic322 ffs you lebron haters are the only reason hes the barometer for everything basketball 🤦‍♂️

@@immortal2893 how is proving something true hating?🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

As a spurs fan and San Antonio native, I loved watching us March in to your gyms and wreck your day! Lol those were the days Manu was our touch of magic!

Season tickets for the clippers? Cmon man.

southpaws are really hard to guard,they're giving you headaches when they're on the floor.they're shifty.

I used to joke with people in pickup games to go to the rim like manu ginobili

Nobody says that.

An argentinean can do anything and do it great, an Argentinian can be a priest and become a Pope ..🤣🤣🤣🤣

When you are 6th man you better be!

Why you gotta roast melo man

What did Melo have to do with this video? Please focus on Manu

y’all really be on Melo dick for no reason, get a life

wwbdwwbd lmaooo true but u a dickhead who even brought up melos name

Manu also never put other players down, like you did Carmelo Anthony

But what about Manu?

Probably

Naah, John Stockton

Krislaps Porzmingis No al bundy scored 4 tds in one game! FACTS

Then stfu, lol

Naw Dirk or bird

Yup they took 4 out of 7 against us but when you factor in the poor officiating and injuries we had to deal with we should have won more but that was our true rivals the Lakers

Eh, not really fun. In the playoffs, the winner of the series usually dominated the other.

Don't forget Euroleague

Ooh, Italian championship...lol

@@tennised2283 on what team did he played with?

@@mikerivers695 Kinder?

@@mikerivers695 I can't remember

Danilo Vilas Boas yeah he beat him alright,but are you aware that the refs didn't gave him the chance to play his normal stuff.he did fouled out in their game against manu's team.even larry brown was angry and upset against all refs in the olympics saying they're totally not fair to duncan when he's on the floor.

Timothy A USA team that lost led by none other than Lebron James...think about that 🧐 By the way totally agree with your point lol

goeast12 excuses, ginobili beat iverson, lebron ,meló and Duncan . Now you trying to use age, Manu was just 25, was Duncan not there?

goeast12 jajaj now they were kids, when they had iverson, Marburg Duncan and had meló and wade and James, stop making excuses, ginobili beat them all and he became Olympic champion.

goeast1you don’t seem to know history and that is embarrassing, ginobili beat the USA with lebron and Duncan , just accept it. He is better than lebron 4 rings to 3 and a gold medal against him. Accept it.

goeast12 you are just making excuses about age and inexperience, ginobili beat the USA accept it.

And that’s one of many reasons that Manu was 1000 times the player that Stephen Jackson was

Sadly haters don't understand that

That's racist lol

@@nicholashartnett8444 is it? Or just facts? I hardly see a humble, classy NBA player from US except G. Hill

@@erwin021777 I'd argue it's equal parts ignorance and racist lol. You're just acknowledging the good non US players without recognizing the bad ones and vice versa with the US players. One thing it's not is facts though 😂.

@@nicholashartnett8444 Apologies. But please name me stars of Dirk, Manu, Pau caliber who are classy. Sorry but I could only think of G. Hill and maybe D. Lillard.

@@erwin021777 Shane Battier, Jason Kid, Ray Allen, etc. Don't focus on this though and ignore foreign players who are dirty like Bogut and Zaza though. There's good and bad from all backgrounds.

Kuwsh15 who cares about the ring He made it out the hood

@@cashondeliver Stupid ass comment. It's like going to college, but not coming out with a degree. You're going for participation points. FOH..

Allen Iverson never won a ring either, and he was asked to come off the bench as well later in his career. I am a long time Spurs fan, waaaaay back when the Ice Man donned the Spurs uniform. I say that because it was more about the Spurs culture. Outside of the great team in Denver Melo never had an opportunity to win a championship. Charles Barkley never came off the bench, Nor did Karl Malone, nor did Patrick Ewing. NONE of them won a ring, so let's not make this a hate on Melo, following the media driven narrative about him. I am also a native of Baltimore. I say that because I don't and never will understand the fan hate/dislike of Carmelo. He was not a bad teammate, he never had a ton of off court issues once he matured as a man. He did have a few transgressions early in his career. Melo is a top 20 scorer in the history of the game, he's the all time leading scorer in USA basketball history. He was the leader on a moribound Nuggets team that CONSISTENTLY made the playoffs while he was the best player..... His teams in NY sorta of like the current Knicks teams SUCKED and were undermined by poor management. He did have an opportunity to leave and play for a contender, HOWEVER the cost was 50 million dollars. I couldn't UNDERSTAND then why people were angry he opted to take the money. 99% of people in his position wouldn't sacrifice that amount of money. ANYWAY, why knock Melo when this should be a celebration for the greatness and sacrifice of Manu Ginobli. The fact that Melo was even brought into the conversation is perplexing to me? What did Melo do to stain his legacy with fans? Even the great Dominique Wilkins has asked the same questions about Melo....why do fans dislike him so much????

Mo Brown thank you. Shut this clown up🙏🏾
