The whole game Manu was making passes that pretty much no one else makes. Only Nash, Rondo and Rubio have the same vision and creativity as Manu. It's beautiful to watch. The lefty stretch layup he had over bosh was beautiful too.
Not trying to be a hater or anything because it was a beautiful pass, but it was pointless. He precisely passed it through traffic to Bonner who was covered thus it really didn't accomplish anything. He could have either faked and got space on Cole for a shot or even fed it down quick to Duncan for a better play imho, although I dont remember what ended up happening at the end of this sequence.
The pass was to a temporarily open Bonner who can hit a 3 but more or less it draws the defense to that side and Duncan was SUPPOSED to turn and he would have been deep in the paint 1 on 1 with his defender. Bonner flinched to pass but Duncan was not turned around.
The thing is, Ginobili's passing was never this skilled during his early career. He developed this only until the last few years. He was more of a scorer back then.
He nutmegs the basketball all the time. Sometimes it works and sometimes it fails, but he is so skilled that it usually ends up in a high percentage shot. One of the best passing SGs ever.
Another epic pass. Dude nutmegs someone who is RUNNING <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gSRk7qrwDNA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The English he puts on the ball is just sick...terrific pass... He loves those between the legs passes...
I noticed this. I was completely shocked that they didn't replay it. I was watching the game with a buddy and I was like, "Dayum, did you see that!" Of course, he didn't, and low and behold, no replay.
Really awesome pass!! I am a sucker for great passes and I have been blessed to see so many of them over the years. This one was among the best.
This was the one i saw/actually noticed ingame. Took my breath away and nothing really even transpired LOL
Thy speaketh the truth, brethren. I also can do it with both hands through the legs because I'm amphibious.
