One Love and White Chocolate

How old are you guys? Did you ever watch those finals with Ginobili?

I don't give a rats *** about numbers. The guy was really good.

Ginobili is so severely underrated. It's a damn shame. The guys could have easily averaged 28 on a bad team. One of the craftiest,smartest players I've ever seen. Back then, was always saying he was arguably the beat shooting guard in the league or at least in the conversation.

Wade's brilliance was too short-lived for me. He was spectacular in '06, no doubt.

Kobe gets knocked down several tiers, in my book, for being a ball-stopping, selfish player.

Manu is one of the best 5-on-5 players I've ever watched. A better 5-on-5 player than Kobe and Wade, who were great at commanding offenses but needed to command them in a certain way to have an impact. Manu sees the floor incredibly well, and makes an impact on every possession. He isn't as good a first-option player as the other guys, but since there'll always be 5 guys on the floor, I don't have to evaluate him on those terms.

Yep.

I agree 100%


I would have picked him in this contest every time, but I knew how under appreciated he is. It was a crime he wasn't routinely on Allstar teams. Didn't matter to Ginobili though. He was winning. That's what mattered.
 
Man, how do you guys forget how great he was in big situations?

Ginobili has one of the most tenacious hearts you'll ever see on the court. In a really big moment, he's so clutch, has all the moxy and brass balls any basketball player has ever had. He'll take it behind his back, dribble between your legs, throw a dunk down in your face, hit a huge 3 right in your face.

One of my favorite players of alltime for sure

Manu is definitely not on Wade/Kobe level.

Spy, you are usually pretty good at this, but you've missed this one. I promise.

He's not on the level with the same numbers and career, but as for a pure winner and being able to impose his will and come up huge, he's easily right there with them.

He's just never got the recognition he should have.

Duncan and Pop are both big reasons for him being such a good player.

It's about situation for a lot of players, Kobe and Wade are good no matter what.

So you're saying that a Manu-Pau combo would've won two titles? Got it.

I just don't think he could have been the #1 guy on a team and won titles.
 
Wait, what, that over the hill Shaq Heat team with Manu would've won it all too.

Sounds about right.

Ya, maybe.

Wade did have to be extra special to win it, but they still could have won it with Ginobili.

They had a lot of good players on that team. Shaq was still very good, and they had Alonzo who played great too.
