To all the good people from the US: Manu is from Argentina. Argentina is a country. That country is in South America. South America is not Brazil, that´s another country. Argentines speak spanish. But Spain (another country) is in Europe, which is a continent. Having said that, GO MANU!
"South America is not Brazil, that's another country." South America is a **continent** and Brazil is in that continent. Next to Argentina but they speak Portuguese.
4:18 magiiic diciendo que manu es el jugador europeo (por que digamos fuera de eeuu) mas excitante que ha visto! Dios que orgullo, que debio sentir manu, teniendo a barkley y magic al lado diciendole lo bien que jugaba y con terribles elogios. Gracias manu Vamos Argentina carajo!
Do you see the respect he got from Magic?? That had to give him goosebumps cause I’m feeling it from just watching this.. first ballot hall of fame no questions asked.. can’t wait for Timmy speech as well as Manus perhaps next year 2021
1)Barkley said European because Manu comes from an European team in Italy. 2)Manu is Argentinian which means he is hispanic/South American 3)Manu can still be white because hispanic is about culture and white/non white about race. 4)I am argentinian and my 4 grandparents are italian which means i am hispanic and also white. Just because i saw a lot of confusion here
its funny when magic said who have you seen foreign dunk on somebody like ginobili and manu did that crazy dunk in the 2014 finals on like 3 diff heat players
I could be wrong but Manu is from Argentina right ??? that is in South America not Europe. Sometimes i feel like im the only American who knows where countrys and continents are on maps.
He’s Argentinian but he was in Italy for a very long time, played the league there. So in part he can be mentioned as European player cos he was developed there in Italy
Definately, Ginobili's game has some SALSA to it.... this guy could easily be the star player in any other team and he is certainly one of the best closers out there
Most americans ignore what happen outside USA, but in this ocassion they were talking about basketball styles and was perfectly understandable. Ginobili played first in Argentina but he formed himself as a great player in Italy. In fact, he played very few matches in the argentinian league.
He play in 1995 in Club Andino(Arg team) Then 1998 in Basket Viola Reggio Calabria 1999 in Virtus Kinder Bologna won 2 italin cup and the mvp Mvp in italian league and mvp of euroleague
Manu Ginobili para mi es el mejor deportista de Argentina, por comenzar desde muy bajo en Andino La Rioja y llegar a los San Antonio Spurs (NBA) ser campeon en Kinders Italia de la Euro. 4 veces campeon en la NBA, campeon del mundo con la seleccion Argentina, campeon olimpico. Ademas de eso ayuda a mucha gente con su fundacion, promueve el deporte la vida sana, habla tres idiomas, implementò el euro step en la NBA. etc etc etc.. GRANDE MANU GRACIAS POR HABER HECHO QUE AME ESTE DEPORTE AL JUGARLO Y AL MIRARLO
This is very funny to me. Barkley yells and make fun of Ginobiliiii name. Ginobili is Barkley favorite Latin american player. It gives me a goosebumb now that tthey are seeing face to face. Good Job for posting this.
If the leader of the Showtime Lakers says you're the most exciting player, you're the most exciting player. Manu could dunk on you, block you at the rim, nutmeg you or Eurostep you into oblivion.
then he would have to say "best player to play in Europe". Argentina is in South America. When he played for Kinder Bologna he was to me the best player in Europe. I remember watching the Euroleague games ... One of my favorites players in the NBA
i was just thinking the same thing. A lot of people dont like the spurs because they arent "flashy" like the heat and stuff. but manu and tony and the spurs play good old fashioned quality team ball. i have never seen another player with such passion for the sport. He just genuinly loves basketball.
What was I screaming in the green room in the night Kenny & You Made Fun Of Me Last Week? Kenny: I'm Hungry Charles: Ginobili!!!!!!! LMAO Chuck too funny
Choujifz Shot down : The past tense of having been rejected, often publicly, severely, and in a confidence-destroying way. See also, shut down. It's the same shit. Don't go pedantic police on me now.
Ginobili is officially "argentinian-italian", he has got double citizenship because his grandparents (so no many generations ago) were from Italy. Manu speaks italian better than many italians, lol ...
Best player in the NBA these past couple weeks. In their most recent meetings, he has outplayed LeBron, Kobe, Pierce, and Allen, and he has looked better than KG and Howard.
talking about magic saying manu is the most exciting, is petrovic a solid defender?, a better passer than manu, does electrifying moves going to the basket? can easily get past his man on a penetration? was able to make many clutch shots his career. It easily separates these two.
Just for all the courious: Manu Ginobili is argentinian but, like his surname confirm, has Italian descents. He started to play in Argentina but he came to Italy in Reggio Calabria a then in Virtus Bologna (my favorite team) where he won Italian championship and Euroleague. So that's why they treat him like an 'european' player: because he formed himself in Europe and there he has started to play better and better. Greetings from Italy.
Manu dunks on entire Lakers team. Too bad NBA did not want him to be a star of the league when he is so capable of. They just made him a 6th man. But he can match with stars like Lebron etc.
dan fadan He's an Argentina citizen but his ethnicity/blood line is Italian. Like a chinese guy born in the usa, he's still chinese/asian but would play for the usa national team.
BAM DAM All argentinians are from european descent (spaniards and italians mostly) ..That does not make him an european . If your are american , but your grand-grand-grand-grand-grand father came from france or kenya 200 years ago that doesn't mean you're kenyan or french, you're still americam . Otherwise all african-americans would be called africans nowadays u see my point ?
No dan fadan, the fact that he's Italian makes him Italian. You have no point because nobody is talking about his birth origin, you're complicating the main fact: he has Italian blood, he's Italian.
before contact with Europe, Argentina was sparsly populated. there have been many waves of Europeans immigrating to Argentina throughout its history. As a result the majority of population, like 85-90% are of ethnic European descent. he was probably born only a few generations after his family immigrated to Argentina from Italy, so its close enough to still identify with being Italian ethnically, but the national identity of Argentina is a one that its citizens strongly identify with
Se refiere a su pasado como jugador de la liga italiana y de la euroliga de basketball, luego de sus logros en Europa pudo pasar a la NBA. por eso habla de "jugador europeo".
It's funny to read the same comments about Ginobili, Argentina, Italy and Europe ... over and over again ... Ok, one time forever: 1) Manu, like a good half of the argentinians, has got italian grandparents or grand-grandparents. So he has dual citizenship Argentina-Italian, like Mike D'Antoni has dual U.S-Italian citizenship (and passport). D'Antoni played even with Italy at Euro1989, and Ginobili, if wanted, could have played with Italy too (see Camoranesi or Sivori in soccer).
@Sunmdq Of course there are other exciting players like Americans-Nate Robinson + Jeremy Lin, Canadian-Steve Nash, Turk-Hedo Turgoklu, european- Ginoble+dirk, Bosnian-Pekovich, Australlian-Irving, Chinese-ao Ming...I think Magic is still for Ginobli
es el mejor la rompio en andino en bahia en el kinder .. me debo estar olvidando de otro y en san antonio.. y va por el 4to titulo de san antonio jaja :) saludos desde argentina
skaplano, Petrovic was a HUGE player. I was his fan. But listen to Magic Johnson(he kinda knows a bit about the game): THE MOST EXCITING. Who you seen dunk like this man here...ON somebody??
Ginobili, Scola, Nocioni, Delfino have all dual passport (the surnames are clearly italians). 2) Manu played very few pro baskebtall in Argentina, while he played and matured as a pro for 4 years in Italy (1998-2002), where he became the played he's (expecially thanks to Ettore Messina). So, calling him "european" basketball player is not that "scandal" or error ... expecially on the basketball side (and, as explained, in a minor level also on the "racial" side).
they know hes south american but because he flourished in the euroleagues and not in argentina so hes considered a european player like alot of players who go over to play in europe who arent from there.
Wow, Magic's respect for Manu makes me smile.
I am smiling like mad
Forreal, “who you see dunk like this man here? UHH ON SOMEBODY!”
Manu was so proud and happy while Magic was complimenting him you can see it through the pixels.
😂
Obi One Genobli.... the force is strong with that one.
„Obi one ginobli“ that’s gold
@@luca9408 Obi Wan Ginobili...
Ginoblili is one of my fav players ever. No one else has a style of play like him. He's the man.
James Harden is kind of similar, but Ginobili is the OG of the euro-step
Vote 4Pedro Harden learned so much from Manu.
Me too. Magic was right about him being the most exciting. Clutch as it gets too
Manu is my favorite player of all time. He was the heart and soul of the Spurs.
To all the good people from the US:
Manu is from Argentina.
Argentina is a country.
That country is in South America.
South America is not Brazil, that´s another country.
Argentines speak spanish.
But Spain (another country) is in Europe, which is a continent.
Having said that, GO MANU!
+Pablo123456x He played in Europe before coming to the Spurs thus being known as an European player
+Quaid Wilburn Nah man, he was a Argentinian player playing in Europe. Same as saying that Stephon Marbury is now a Chinese basketball player.
+Pablo123456x lol that had me rolling, best comment ive seen today
+Pablo123456x Thanks for the info man but not everyone in the US is geographically challenged :)
"South America is not Brazil, that's another country."
South America is a **continent** and Brazil is in that continent. Next to Argentina but they speak Portuguese.
who do you see dunk like this man here??!! YEAAAAAHHH!!!!
turn down for what
All Kenny can answer is a smile, can't think of anything else, lol
Who expected a few months later that he would win the Olympic gold medal over the Team USA players 🤣
4:18 magiiic diciendo que manu es el jugador europeo (por que digamos fuera de eeuu) mas excitante que ha visto!
Dios que orgullo, que debio sentir manu, teniendo a barkley y magic al lado diciendole lo bien que jugaba y con terribles elogios. Gracias manu
Vamos Argentina carajo!
When Manu goes to the Hall of Fame, I hope Chuck's there to yell it out
"One of the best European players I've seen in my life..." WEll, his heart was in the right place.
All these years later & that still makes me laugh
I wish he told him he's from south America 😂
But he came to the NBA from European League. He played on Italy @@ObscureManifesto
Do you see the respect he got from Magic?? That had to give him goosebumps cause I’m feeling it from just watching this.. first ballot hall of fame no questions asked.. can’t wait for Timmy speech as well as Manus perhaps next year 2021
1)Barkley said European because Manu comes from an European team in Italy.
2)Manu is Argentinian which means he is hispanic/South American
3)Manu can still be white because hispanic is about culture and white/non white about race.
4)I am argentinian and my 4 grandparents are italian which means i am hispanic and also white.
Just because i saw a lot of confusion here
White/non White?
Argentinians are just italians and spaniards, there are a lot of white people there
euro “league” player
@August buenos aires*
I am still confused
Years later a day a few more championships magic was right, manu game 5 thunder dunk on Chris bosh. The most exciting !! Thanks, Majic!
its funny when magic said who have you seen foreign dunk on somebody like ginobili and manu did that crazy dunk in the 2014 finals on like 3 diff heat players
Manu still is the most exciting basketball player. Period!!
imagine being ginobili and hear that from MAGIC JOHNSON what an honor
He played and was MVP/champion in the European League
Magic said it! "Ginobili is the MOST exciting european player ever" period!!! Who can say different?
Well i can say, he's southamerican player !
@@marianhohberg8926 It's not about where he was born.
Thanks Magic, for giving Manu some love. A truly great player knows when he sees talent!
"Most Exciting " and he was.
I wonder if Manu is number one on his list now haha
GINOBLILI is the most interesting man in the world
The world should always be as constantly excited about Manu as Charles is.
I love it when Chuck screams "Ginobili".
Makes me laugh when I see Inside the NBA.
I could be wrong but Manu is from Argentina right ??? that is in South America not Europe. Sometimes i feel like im the only American who knows where countrys and continents are on maps.
As an argentinian and a manu fan
I THANK YOU
SERIOUSLY
@@endraw_ solo los argentinos creen que Argentina es Europa jajajaja
He developed his career in Italy. He´s "european" in that sense
He’s Argentinian but he was in Italy for a very long time, played the league there. So in part he can be mentioned as European player cos he was developed there in Italy
GIINNNOOOBBBIIILLLIIII
without a dought he is one of the best gaurds in the nba. manu is a beast.
he's so humble. That's why he's so good.
The only time Magic made any sense
By saying he is the most interesting player from europe while ginobili is fron south america, lol
Respect and love Manu.
Que nostalgia. Como me gustaria viajar en el tiempo para vivir de nuevo esas noches magicas de Manu.
Cuando escuchas a Magic decir cuando viste a un hombre clavarla así!! a está hecho...
A un hombre blanco quiso decir Magic...
Definately, Ginobili's game has some SALSA to it....
this guy could easily be the star player in any other team and he is certainly one of the best closers out there
Most americans ignore what happen outside USA, but in this ocassion they were talking about basketball styles and was perfectly understandable. Ginobili played first in Argentina but he formed himself as a great player in Italy. In fact, he played very few matches in the argentinian league.
He play in 1995 in Club Andino(Arg team)
Then 1998 in Basket Viola Reggio Calabria
1999 in Virtus Kinder Bologna
won 2 italin cup and the mvp
Mvp in italian league and mvp of euroleague
Un honor para Manu que Magic Jhonson lo elogie así de esa manera junto a Charles Buckley y Cris Bowen.
Who you see dunk like this man?....... on somebody?
Manu estaba algo intimidado rodeado de estas bestias del baloncesto. Un honor lo que dicen de el en su presencia. No lloró de casualidad Manu. 😊
Menos kenny que fue un jugador del montón y el único que lo intentó minimizar y Magic le cerró la boca
They won the championship that year!!!! 😎🏆
2007
You know you made it big when magic johnson considers you one of the most exciting european players
Manu Ginobili para mi es el mejor deportista de Argentina, por comenzar desde muy bajo en Andino La Rioja y llegar a los San Antonio Spurs (NBA) ser campeon en Kinders Italia de la Euro. 4 veces campeon en la NBA, campeon del mundo con la seleccion Argentina, campeon olimpico. Ademas de eso ayuda a mucha gente con su fundacion, promueve el deporte la vida sana, habla tres idiomas, implementò el euro step en la NBA. etc etc etc..

I love magic! 'WHo you seen dunk like this man here" that is so crazy!!!! Ginobli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy retirement Manu 😭😭😭
What was I screaming in the green room in the night Kenny & You Made Fun Of Me Last Week?
Kenny: I'm Hungry
Charles: Ginobili!!!!!!!
LMAO Chuck too funny
LOL Kenny got SHOT DOWN by Magic
SHUT* Down.
Choujifz Shot down : The past tense of having been rejected, often publicly, severely, and in a confidence-destroying way. See also, shut down. It's the same shit. Don't go pedantic police on me now.
The. Most. Excite. Ting.
This interview is awesome. All star interview
How proud must been Manu listening to Magic's opinion.
Need ya to bring it this year and stay healthy..GSG!
It's funny how the two HoFers recognize talent, but Kenny just can't wrap his head around it.
best european players i seen in my life
oh my god Kenny . . . look at a map for chrissakes . . .
on national television .
He's from Argentina and Argentina is in China,Argenchina ! :P
Ginobili is officially "argentinian-italian", he has got double citizenship because his grandparents (so no many generations ago) were from Italy.
Manu speaks italian better than many italians, lol ...
i miss seeing magic on tv like this
That face says it all..
Magic and Barclay should've given speeches at Manu's ceremonies when he retired and when he was inducted in the hall of fame.
Hate Kenny Smith. He acts like he knows eveyrthing. And he was never a hall a fame player.
Youre a dumbass
BACK WHEN HIS NOSE WAS STRAIGHT!!!!!!!
one of the best left handed player in the NBA...Ginnnnnnobiliiiiii!!!!
@gamorza2002 what they mean is the best player to come to the NBA from a European team. They know he is from argentina but he played in Europe.
@gamorza2002
he played in virtus bologna for 3 years, and got euroleague mvp, and local league mvp, until i know
LEGEND...
You know it's old when the max quality is 240p.
The best part of the video is "I'm hungry?"
GINOBILI IS THAT DUDE TWICE!!!!! Three rings, Olympic Gold too! He is that man twice.
Best player in the NBA these past couple weeks. In their most recent meetings, he has outplayed LeBron, Kobe, Pierce, and Allen, and he has looked better than KG and Howard.
If he played anywhere else but the Spurs he would have had way more accolades!! Spurs play a team game.
Kenny Smith got schooled by Magic on his take. Thank you Magic Johnson
talking about magic saying manu is the most exciting, is petrovic a solid defender?, a better passer than manu, does electrifying moves going to the basket? can easily get past his man on a penetration? was able to make many clutch shots his career. It easily separates these two.

GINOBLI "charles barkley"
tht is the best quote EVER
Ginobili is also Italian and played pro ball in Italy that's what he means.
he isn't italian he's from argentina i live in europe i would know
lmao ok then
dan fadan He's an Argentina citizen but his ethnicity/blood line is Italian. Like a chinese guy born in the usa, he's still chinese/asian but would play for the usa national team.

LQTM
or maybe they meant that before joining spurs he spend almost all his professional career in europe:). peace!
Ginobili, Scola, Nocioni, Delfino have all dual passport (the surnames are clearly italians).
2) Manu played very few pro baskebtall in Argentina, while he played and matured as a pro for 4 years in Italy (1998-2002), where he became the played he's (expecially thanks to Ettore Messina).

"he's on of the best European players I ever seen in my life"
haha barkley is dope hahaha he makes me laugh very much..i love ginobili and i very proud of him
Manu was a criminal in the paint back then,
manu is great
they know hes south american but because he flourished in the euroleagues and not in argentina so hes considered a european player like alot of players who go over to play in europe who arent from there.
Wise words coined by NBA Coach of the Year, Greg Popovich.
he is in fact manu ginobili. one of the best alltime
Yeah they gotta get it this year man, this is their year to make that run for 5.
All these years later and his play style is still the same...
All on somebody
"That's AK47 Kirilenko because we just saw"
"AR GINOBILI"
"best European player I've ever seen in my life!"... are you kidding me? Ginobili, European? hahahha :D
