    Ginobli definitely should be a hall of famer. The basketball HOF isn't like the Football HOF.

    Even though there have been some snubs in the basketball HOF like Reggie Miller.

    Ginobili has that winning in his genes. Ice in his veins. Does all the right things, sacrifices stats, fame, etc. in order to win.

    Ginobili, but followed very closely by Harden.

    Very, very closely.

    Both players are a "I-can-do-it-all" type player, without being the "superstar" mold.

    Though I will claim that Ginobili is sometimes counted on to be the best player on the team sometimes, during some games, whereas Harden doesn't have that pressure.

    Well Harden is 12 years younger than Manu. He will only get better.

    I would like to resign my Joe Johnson vote and give it to Turner. Dude has 0 votes.

    Ooh, knew I forgot to add something in my post: age!

    What I want to see is Harden be the first option on a different team; I feel as though there is major potential in Harden to be a PG / SG hybrid with Jason Kidd stats.

    And by that, I mean some stat line of averages 17/9/7. Something like that.

    I thought about this but let's be honest, it's been years since Ray was a top 5 SG... he's 36 years old and it shows.

    haha no argument there, he paid homage.. and that was about it.
    Ray Allen is still one of the best 36 yr old players ever... still an athlete

    As of right now: Marshon Brooks.
    Since Kobe and Wade in league: Ginobili
    The best in terms of skill: Marshon Brooks

    Last year I would have said Manu but this year I think old age is catching up to him just enough to give the edge to Harden. Not sure though.

    Lol... what about JLin.... the best undersized Two Guard in town
    He is a SG in a PG's body... we heard that before from H-...Harvard-town.

    Harden's lack of defense should hurt him in this imo.

    It has to be Manu.

    Harden is an above average defensive player. He's around the same level as Courtney Lee. Not elite, but good.

    Yet the Thunder defense is significantly worse with him on the floor.
