2020 Annual All-Time NBA Draft
- Thread starter spycam1
- Start date
I posted a poll on Facebook asking who the better player was:
Jerry West or Manu Ginobili
30 minutes in it is 30-6 in favor of West
Had one dude ask if I’m kidding and another ask if it was a joke. I had to tell them sadly it’s not lmao.

yes. This doesn’t surprise me one bit. West is an icon, the logo, a laker. inflated stats in an era with 8-10 teams for a while.
Ginóbili is one of the more obscure stars in the league coming from Europe, it took him 4-5 years to get to the nba, while during that time became the best Foreign player not in the nba. Then goes to a small market and played his entire career on the bench because that’s where he was needed most by Pop. Looking at their careers West got the accolades being the best player on the Lakers till Wilt came, Ginóbili played with and overshadowed by Duncan who is a bigger star than west. Ginóbili is bigger faster more athletic and Comparable shooting wise, and more skilled but most will say West is better in a smaller league. And yet Ginóbili has more rings than West.
It’s hilarious when people try to use the 8-10 teams argument. You realize that means the teams were stacked right? Imagine if it was still only 8 teams.
Secondly, can’t believe you really pulled the rings argument too. Grasping at straws.

You can say whatever you want but in this draft Ginóbili is bigger faster more explosive and more athletic and skilled and for this competition Ginóbili is better

I mean there's a pretty good chance he is better than West but it is impossible to compare being they played 50 years apart.
