    only ones that could do what Harden is doing are guys like MJ and prime Bron and you’re out here talking about Manu...please...

    Ginobilli beat LeBron in LeBron first nba finals back in 2007.

    Ginobilli and the Spurs swept LeBron with the Cavs. There were times ginobilli carried the Spurs and ginobilli dominated!

    Parker was finals MVP tho, not saying Manu didn't have his fair share of all-NBA seasons but he's no Harden.

    Manu swept LeBron with the Spurs back in 2007 and in game 4 scored more than Parker even though ginobilli came off bench! Ginobilli had 27, Parker had maybe 23. It was a huge controversy but Parker got mvp only because he started, ginobilli off the bench.
    Just so you know. "Stay woke"!!!

    I don't know the answer to this question, but I wouldn't let Bill Russell find out if you didn't say him. He was and probably still is brutally competitive, and he might show up at your door to prove you wrong. (Reference)

    Sorry, no Finals MVP can have an 0-fer game with just 3 points. Dem are the rulz.

    Parker scored 25ppg, and facilitated the dominating PnR with Duncan. Ginobody had great series against PHX and Utah, but when it came time to win it all, Pops will go to the Duncan/Parker PnR over and over...that won the series, not Ginobody.

    Oh, and he definitely doesn't deserve to be in this thread. sheesh.

    The block ginobilli put on harden in 2017 series in wcsf shows ginobilli got the better of the head to head match up against harden because by that time Duncan retired and Parker was a non factor with the Spurs.

    Why couldn't harden step back three to win it all?

    Thats a lie. I remember Tracy McGrady saying that but LeBron's left hand has never been his dominant hand, and he's shot the ball right handed. He's technically right handed and able to use his left. If he were left handed, he'd shoot left handed.

    Spurs were a 62 win team with a prime Kawhi, not because of Ginobody. Had Harden beaten them, that would have been a huge upset.

    Getting blocked from behind on a scrambling, desperation jump-ball play (that required a 3pt shot to tie) is one of the most overrated blocks I've ever seen. Harden didn't even get the ball until 3 seconds left, trapped 35' out.

    And you must be the only person who says that series was a H2H between Harden and Ginobody. Everyone else says....Kawhi, Green and Simmons guarded Harden.

    Ginobilli at 36 or 37 had the agility to locate harden on that inbounds play after fighting over screens, and he played harden straight up.

    Man a game saving block is a block.
    Rockets didn't advance.

    Ginobilli got four rings and even beat 3 headed monster Miami!
