I remember being 18 years old in the summer of 2005 being nervous of moving away from home for college and watching Ginobili play gave me some peace and entertainment and took my mind off of things. Ginobili with long hair in that glorious 2005 title run. Now almost ten years later me now at the age of 27 after everyone dogged ginobili and told him to retire after the dissapointing 2013 finals Manu gets redepmtion and puts on one more brilliant finals performance for us. Now old bald and a step slower he still finds a way to put on last brilliant performance for us. and it brought tears to my eyes. He was never Jordan or Kobe or Wade. Just an ordinary hero with the heart and competitiveness of a Lion. Thanks manu.
@@alejandrorodriguez-kt8nk Maybe in terms of raw skill Manu wasn't as good as them but in the athletic aspect he was at their level. He was a really professional athlete and a though man both psychologicaly and phsyically, that's why he could stand in NBA with a high competetive level for so long inspite his age.
Very under rated, he gave Kobe the business since day one, tough defender, great passer, great shooter, he seems to me like the combination of Bird and Magic looking at this video, if he didn't do more was because he was very disciplined and followed his coach instructions, if you want your kid to be a great basquetball player, study Mamu's game, again, very very under rated
Man, not many with highlights like his. Finish like Mj. Pass like Magic. One of the most charismatic and fun players to watch. Totally underrated. He on my all time team.
Manu legit might have the best highlight reel of all-time when you combine the passing, clutch shots, finishing balls out reckless drives to the basket, posterizing defenders, freak/clutch defensive plays, and making some of the best athletes on planet earth look downright puzzled on how to stop him from doing whatever the fuck he wants. I truly believe he’s a top 5 all-time SG and outside of Kobe, he was the best of his time in the league for the bulk of his entire career at the position. He arguably sacrificed more individual accomplishments and accolades than any player ever, when you look at his actual stats vs what anyone who watched him over the years knows he was capable of. He was, along with guys like Bird and Magic, the consummate team player/winner.
@@thebeerhunter98 i was just thinking about it. like manu has A LOT of highlight videos, like kobe, mj, lebron does (Well maybe not that much, but u catch my point). he has a lot more highlight videos than 90% of retired or current players of the nba
I noticed that too. I rarely missed a televised game at this point in the NBA and imo Manu could've been the guy on his own team and been a big time star@@agubognernader3205
If the phrase "In his bag" was a person, it would be Manu Ginobli. One of the greatest most unselfish player to play the game. Every time he's in, at least one grown man is gonna look like a middle schooler
I still remember asking my dad who the hell is the new guy. He told me just watch, he's one of a kind and boy was he right!! Manu you are forever in heart of Spurs fans no matter what happens!!
I saw Manu live in 1998, playing for Viola Reggio Calabria against MensSana Siena, in Siena, Italy. First three plays of the game: he gets three steals and makes three dunks, one of which reverse. I was 11 year-old. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Nobody could believe what they were witnessing. He looked like a martian compared to all the other players, and he was probably the youngest dude on the floor! Thank you Manu for 20 years of greatness.
Does anyone else get that sensation of seeing something so great it makes you cry? No shame in the truth over here that Ganobli is without a doubt the best 6th man to play this game.. saying that James Harden is like him is totally wrong.. Ganobli and his beyond crafty wizardry and play making is hands down one of the best I've ever seen in the league.. The man is the only one EVER to win championships on all levels NBA, top EURO League and a Olympic Gold metal with Argentina... Yet you don't hear nothing about this.. everyone has there choices and opinions but Manu Ganobli is in my top 10 of all time.. I give credit when credit is due and he definitely deserves waaaaaay more recognition then he's getting
A lot of people never mention the fact the the only 2 seasons where he started all their games, he was an all star. 2005 and 2011. yet theres always people that say he wouldn't, its just a system. Most people never look deeper
Ulme Piller Not really fragile just injury prone but in his younger days he was a beast who could not be stopped even injuries couldn't stop him, James Harden is basically a worse version of prime Manu just worse at everything and missing Manu's elite wing defense.
Most underrated passer in NBA. Those idiots who says he's not a good passer because of stats (few assist per game and overall assist). But those few are crucial passes to those who are not Superstar level players and it's fun to watch how he passes and how his teammates knows his pass routes. :)
2:37 was the SICKEST coast to coast I've ever seen. The steal, the between the opponents leg dribble, the and 1 finish. It's like that perfect basketball itch has been scratched. Thank you Manu
Manu has always been one of my faves. So crafty and humbled. U don't get stars like him these days. There are a lot of star players who would be bitching if the coach does not start them. Not Manu.
I was a huge Kobe fan when some Latin America commentators on ESPN started praising Manu, saying that he would make a huge impact. And refused to belive he would compare to Kobe, but I have to say he was amazing, his passes and courage. I saw him being beat down by the Pistons, basically hitting him in the face and he wouldn't stop.
You know what manu is one of the most exciting players in the league until today. Most of the people hate ginobli for flopping, Manu is just good at fishing foul and his body is so elegant when playing his shooting is so accurate everything is so elegant
There’ll never be another! Once in a lifetime selfless athletic freak. ( Manu will always be my favourite player) I feel blessed to have grown up in San Antonio ( live in Australia now), & watch the Spurs reach the highest level. I go back to the days of the ABA, and man it hurt being a fan back in the days! Damn it was worth it seeing them win championship after championship. There would be no other championships after 99 without Manu! What a warrior! Can’t wait to see his induction into the Hall of Fame.
Great job at collecting all these clips, man. Manu is certainly one of the current day's players of whom there should be plenty of footage saved on UA-cam's archives.
Muy buen compilado de Manu, muy bien armado, jugadas que ya había olvidado... Sin duda un jugador ejemplar para todo el que juega basketball incluidos ídolos de la NBA, una técnica depurada al máximo, goleador, asistidor, defensor, exponiendo su físico en cada jugada... Sin duda un jugador que marcó un antes y un después en la NBA sobre todo para jugadores extranjeros... Manu, fuiste sos y serás siempre un crack!
If videos like these would be a basis for the greatest international player who ever played in the nba, manu would be one of those on top. Name any foreign player who has thw ability to score, pass, block, defend and everything, and the eurostep of course.
Watched his whole career. There will never be another Manu. The ever under appreciated. Met him twice at sports doc. Nicest guy you could ever meet. Thanks Manu for the memories
He goes off the radar so easily, but when you see footages like these (and this may sound like a stretch) he's a very possible hall of famer. Even though he's not in his prime anymore this guy is a monster on the court in various ways; he's smart in a completely different way than just shooting. You name it, he does it. Blocking, shooting, making plays for his teammates, throwing passes and bullet passes like no other player in the league could. He's blocked every big time player today, at least once and that includes Lebron and Wade. All-time underdog, but he doesn't care, he does all of it for the team. He's got my full respect.
Fwiw, Manu Ginobili will *easily* make the hall of fame. Remember, it's not the NBA Hall of Fame, it's the Basketball Hall of Fame. And when you combine his NBA accomplishments, which are noteworthy in and of themselves, with his non-NBA professional accomplishments (listed below), he'll make it just as assuredly as Sabonis did. Euroleague champion (2001) Euroleague Finals MVP (2001) All-Euroleague First Team (2002) Olympic Gold Medal (2004 - Athens) Olympic Bronze Medal (2008 - Beijing) Italian Cup MVP (2002) 2× Italian League MVP (2001-2002) 2× FIBA World Championship All-Tournament Team (2002, 2006) 50 Greatest Euroleague Contributors (2008)
lolitswhiteslang nah not so much the ocational turnover is what all dinamic players deal with, look up some of the stars in the league and check their TO numbers youll be surprised.
Makes me sad that he cant play forever! Nice mix. Missing some cool stuff bot very complete nonetheless. I had a lot of fun watching this, will be watching it again, I am pretty sure of that!
That forward pass before the half court in traffic to a sprinting Boris Diaw is the most beautiful play in this whole lot. What an entertainer Manu is.
Should have been dual MVP's. As good as Manu was, that was still Duncan's series. What he had to do against the Wallace's..theres no way you can take Duncans MVP away.
Such crazy passes it sucks that he may retire when timmie does. Skill like this you just dont find anywhere, he can literally see whats going to happen and finds the craziest way to overcome it in a split second.
He has the best floor sense of anyone in the game. He almost always knows exactly where everyone is in relation to him and the basket. Hate that people call him a flopper. They don't seem to give him credit for always giving it his all. Manu doesn't do half ass. It's full bore with him on the court, all the time. As hard as he plays, as physical as he gets down there, if anyone gets physical back when he's moving like that, then he will be flying from the contact. That's just physics.
That is exactly why i think pops was so lucky to have players like manu. These present crop of players are no clutch at all, though they've with the team for a while now. Exception is lonnie walker, but he gets minimal time until now.
Gino is one of the only that reminds me the old timers, or at least a hint of how the old timers of rodman, pipen, bird, magic, jordan played when it comes to team & heart
Es una demencia lo que hizo Ginobili en el basketball mundial histórico. Es un placer verlo jugar! El fake pase fantasma a Durant en los playoffs es una maravilla!!! Gracias por esos regalos!!!
I read many things Kobe said about him. Such as: "He's a bad man, tremendous competitor, love playing against him because he's so difficult to defend, etc." But I think Kobe never said THAT.
Whoa. I watched a ton of spurs basketball over the years and sure enjoyed Manu. He has so many amazing plays and he’s not a guy you say yea but he takes plays off or he takes a lot of bad shots. He just gives his 100% on every single play out there and usually is successful. Hall of famer for sure!
This dude is a top 5 shooting guard of all time...playing in the San Antonio system has deprived him of personal accolades but I have a feeling the guy couldn't care less about that crap...the league marketed guys like Bryant and Wade (and rightfully so) but if I'm putting a team together I'd take Ginobili in his prime before either of those two
I would definitely agree. His winning percentage is off the charts! It's even higher then Duncan's and he's been a winner everywhere he went just like Duncan. Also when u take his missed/made shots, min per game the data shows Manu Ginobili production wise is almost equal with Kobe. He is clutch, has that killer instinct, and his determination to finish at the rim that Kobe and Jordan have. Plus he beat team USA that was Jordan like. He won a Euro title, NBA title, and gold medal! That is Jordan like. Phenomenal special players don't come around often.💯 I can't say how blessed I was to see the Spurs not have one phenomenal special player but two. That's why what the Spurs accomplished "highest winning percentage of all sports" which I don't think will ever be duplicated again.💯✌️
This brought tears to my eyes 🥲 If you don’t like Manu you don’t like the game of basketball 🏀 The most unconventional player, one of the most exciting to ever play the game ❤️ I was in Athens 2004 in the gold medal game 🏆 Thanks Manu for the memories 🇬🇷❤️🏀
WHO MADE THIS? Excellent, man, excellent. I cant think of one major highlight you missed. Im so glad you got all the footage of the bat from halloween and definitely the ending. Well done. PERFECT DUDE. Perfect.
@Echoz he is way better than lots of players in dat 75 players list. Remember without him no way da spurs would got all those rings. Manu is da most important spurs player in da last 20 years.
lolitswhiteslang Do you have a personal problem with the guy? Because it seems all you have done in a page clearly labeled as being about Ginobili is reply, with mostly incomplete or non-sequitur thoughts, to people who made a positive comment about him.
Man, if you still ever get on this youtube, could you PLEASE do a remake of this video with the newer videos of manu like him dunking on Chris Bosh and all of the other great things he did? I’ve consistently been watching this video for the past 7 Years man. That would be awesome of you
un orgullo ver hacer contra esos gigantes todas las avivadas criollas y el potrero de bahia blanca a manu es un argentino demostrando la capacidad y el coraje de la raza

Might not be as athletic as them. But I'd still put him with the greatest competitors with those same players u named
His winning percentage is higher then all those players. Every legend u can think of.. It's even higher than Tim Duncan's.💯✌️

Don't believe everything you hear, child.

One of the most underrated players of all time. Would have been a perennial all-star in a different city, playing 35 minutes a night. Great video!
I don't think so. He always seemed very fragile. If he played anymore he wouldn't last a season.
Allstar skills though.
Ulme Piller
Yeah, you may be right about that. He IS injury-prone.
Sam Pendleton
but I always wondered what it be like too

I love how you added the blocks, hes an underrated defender, and he has gotten a block on nearly every superstar, Kobe, Wade, James, Durant and so on.
he's not an underrated defender, everyone knows about his skills as a defensive player
The passes, he makes rasho neaterovich look good

alpinestargt thats the point
I get it thought you were saying he was one himself. But I do agree he can run the point very well
oh ok
BETTER PASSER THAN WESTBROOK!
An unguardable force during his prime.
This dude is a top 5 shooting guard of all time...playing in the San Antonio system has deprived him of personal accolades but I have a feeling the guy couldn't care less about that crap...the league marketed guys like Bryant and Wade (and rightfully so) but if I'm putting a team together I'd take Ginobili in his prime before either of those two
I would definitely agree. His winning percentage is off the charts! It's even higher then Duncan's and he's been a winner everywhere he went just like Duncan. Also when u take his missed/made shots, min per game the data shows Manu Ginobili production wise is almost equal with Kobe. He is clutch, has that killer instinct, and his determination to finish at the rim that Kobe and Jordan have. Plus he beat team USA that was Jordan like. He won a Euro title, NBA title, and gold medal! That is Jordan like. Phenomenal special players don't come around often.💯 I can't say how blessed I was to see the Spurs not have one phenomenal special player but two. That's why what the Spurs accomplished "highest winning percentage of all sports" which I don't think will ever be duplicated again.💯✌️
Yes i take Manu before Wade. Kobe is a bit difficult... But i trust Manu better if i would make a team from ground up.
Should be a hall of famer
He may not have super stats, but this guy's impact every single game is crazy. One of the most exciting players to watch.
Cuando pregunten quién es Manu, hay que mostrarles este video. Felicitaciones!!
Que JUGADORAZO !!!
El mejor basquetbolista argentino de la historia ............ lejos .
This brought tears to my eyes 🥲
If you don’t like Manu you don’t like the game of basketball 🏀
The most unconventional player, one of the most exciting to ever play the game ❤️
I was in Athens 2004 in the gold medal game 🏆
Thanks Manu for the memories
🇬🇷❤️🏀
watching Manu playing basketball is such an enjoyment !!
Players like manu made pops looks like a genius. We all saw it now what he really was when the greats are gone
Just amazing incredible player
WHO MADE THIS? Excellent, man, excellent. I cant think of one major highlight you missed. Im so glad you got all the footage of the bat from halloween and definitely the ending. Well done. PERFECT DUDE. Perfect.
Smart, quick, clutch, aim and the only one regularly getting jordanesque-style buckets i can think of
Cant believe he aint among da 75 best nba players of all times. Dats cra p.
@Echoz he is way better than lots of players in dat 75 players list. Remember without him no way da spurs would got all those rings. Manu is da most important spurs player in da last 20 years.
@@critcri absolutely right im there with u 👍🏻
underrated. period
This videos are a vice. Can loose the whole day watching these plays.
LoL i can't imagine how Pop having a blast coaching this MAN. He must be always in edge between anger and awe every damn time Manu play.
Simply amazing...
Nope
lolitswhiteslang Do you have a personal problem with the guy? Because it seems all you have done in a page clearly labeled as being about Ginobili is reply, with mostly incomplete or non-sequitur thoughts, to people who made a positive comment about him.
MegaRayland
He is still crying, poor boy... "melo's fan detected"
Thank you for making this...
The best mix of Manu I have ever seen
Thanks for uploading this!
Man, if you still ever get on this youtube, could you PLEASE do a remake of this video with the newer videos of manu like him dunking on Chris Bosh and all of the other great things he did? I’ve consistently been watching this video for the past 7 Years man. That would be awesome of you
best pick & roll player in the NBA
9:21 no one and I mean NO ONE moves and finishes like that. 🙌
Como me emociona ver este vídeo. Ídolo total !!!🙌
Great video. Keep up the good work Bruce Wayne.
Ginobili and Diaw are the best passers in the league.... Manu running the offense is something else. Pure class & talent.
Legend
Well constructed mix of a great & entertaining player, awesome.
un orgullo ver hacer contra esos gigantes todas las avivadas criollas y el potrero de bahia blanca a manu es un argentino demostrando la capacidad y el coraje de la raza
The best not-american player ever,all the way!
