GINOBILIIIIIIII!!!!! <S> Manu
« on: August 28, 2018, 09:35:38 AM »
The best international player and one of the greatest Spurs of all time retires...    :cry

Dang.  I will miss watching Manu Ginobili play.  My favorite (along with Bruce Bowen).  In his prime he was amazing.  He even knocked a bat out of the air during a game on Halloween.  You can't make that up. 

:salute

Spurs will always be in the middle, like Purgatory. I have never heard of Ginobli, though. Must have been awful for a very long time.


Oh......basketball. Never mind.

A real sport.  Ironically, Manu played basketball with what had to be something akin to a soccer or hockey player’s mentality and vision when it came to passing.    The guy was a flat out genius.   He would be a good at ACM with a mind like that.

(If I never see another soccer game it will be too soon.)

I’m sorry the quality isn’t better on some of these videos, but he was amazing.    You don’t have to even like basketball to appreciate this guy...


A typical crazy pass...

And a series of them...

Clobbering a flying bat...on Halloween....  “Bat Manu.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzN_n7DFfaI



Scoring, passing, defending, dribbling the basketball between an opponent’s legs...   Obi-Wan Ginobili.

It's about THE BEAUTIFUL GAME and the guy who sparked it:

Sheer genius...

And again...

If they gave hockey assists Manu would hold the all-time record by far.  The guy was special.

It is ironic that the greatest sports figure in Argentina is a basketball player not a soccer player.   :D

Coach Pop, why did you think he could give you a boost to start the third quarter?

That's debatable.

No.  Not really.  Not after that Olympic Gold Medal (which was considered an impossible task in The Dream Team era).  Ginóbili is their national hero.   Even Messi once said, “They should call me the Manu of Football [soccer].”
