He probably won't be around much longer given his age. May not be a Spur, either, if they look elsewhere with their money. But tonight is a reminder of what a truly elite player he is and how fun he is to watch. Surefire Hall of Famer and one of the best of his era.
Emanuel Ginobili is a true professional and I hope he retires a <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Rocket</span> Spur.
Manu showed up this time. He did once again remind us of what he could and should do. I enjoyed his game in the international stage. He was the man in Argentina. Hear hear.
i love how the Spurs will accept any roles given them in order to win. Manu is an all-star calibre player and could have started almost anywhere else.
Like his good friend and comrade on so many of the highly successful national teams of Argentina, Luis Scola, Manu is highly intelligent, skilled, and has a motor that won't quit. I'll be sorry to see him retire, although as a fan of the Rockets, we'll be better off when he does.
That would be James and Fisher or did you forgot? Synchronized flopping is still the best flop I've ever seen in my whole life.
Definitely one those people you'd want to have dinner with him and the fam before an opposing nba game.
I'm in this camp as well. I appreciate his career and that is has been a VERY GOOD player. Elite is a bit much. If tonight/last night was a reminder of "GOOD" Manu, then Thursday was a definite reminder of "BAD" Manu. He has become even more trick or treat-ish as he's gotten older. The question becomes which Manu shows up for Game 6. Spurs fans gave him a standing ovation between the 3rd and 4th quarter and chanted his name for a while. Was pretty impressive to observe.
I take it you meant Martin and Fisher? (or just added Harden into the mix). Either way I believe Manu has been chairman of the flopping committee board for a while. Fisher is probably president. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mNxiWES8G0o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Yeah pretty impressive but perhaps not as impressive as the synchronized one <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5CeUDALG6nk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I agree he is not elite now, but u cant say he wasnt elite through his career. That would be plain and simple ignorant. I dont think its luck that he s got his best game of the season on the most important game of the spurs season.
