Nice vid Bro! We love Manu 4 ever! He's Argentina best sportsman in modern history. He took the national team to win the gold in the olímpics beating US in the semifinals.😎
Rubentastique Without question he is in. Apart from having an illustrious NBA career, he secured the olympic basketball gold medal for Argentina in 2004. Beating the USA, which was amazing and sad. Because no one should beat the USA in basketball.
Why people keep saying that? He got recognition from NBA, from top players, from Spurs, from fans around the world.. they even retired N°20 Jersey from the team, he got to all stars team (he should have gotten more tho), and he will probably end up in Hall of Fame.. also considered one of the best international players of all time by most people and rank 72 of best players of all time... Underrated? Maybe if he went to another team to be the super star and lead a team would have done better stats... But his sixth position is what made the Spurs so special. Cheers
@@guillermodinanno8432 And with all that he's still better than people realize. That's why we say he's underrated. He has only one 6th Man of the Year Award. Meanwhile Lou Williams has three.
@@guillermodinanno8432 And despite all this he's still underrated. Man deserves to be further up the all time players list and needs to be higher in the best 2 guards ever list as well. Considering that Kobe said Manu gave him the most trouble aside from T-Mac he absolutely is underrated by most.
I''m going to go a step further...the beautiful game came from Gino's style of play. I think Pop embraced it and it's why the Spurs got their 5th Championship. Amazing players executing a beautiful game.
There won't be another player like Manu. No one can't match his superior Basketball IQ and bags of tricks. Really wish he would stay one more season in the league. What a player.
Larry The Lobsterr bill russel is loki shit like he played with a bunch of pasty ass white boys and he can't average more then 15 points??? I get he was a good defender and rebounder but in today's NBA he would probably average like 10 points 13-16 rebounds and 2-4 blocks the man is just lucky a) he played in a weak era, and b) he had a amazing ( for its time team). The moral of the story is that he's trash
Buzzar Beater Nobody arguing with those 11 rings doe. And he averaged like 15 points cause he got no shots due to being on a team full of hofers. If u asked most people from that era they would say Bill was better than Wilt even though Wilt averaged 30 more points. Dont even know why were havin this debate anyway😂😂I love Manu but theres no way hes better than Bill Russell
WOW!! For impact & globalizing the NBA he's right up there with Michael & Kobie. The NBC would loose lots of its unpredictability & entertainment. Will miss those through d legs passes to himself. Guts, tenacity, ...........winner! First ballet 'HALL OF FAMER'
In the first NBA game I watched I was supporting the Rockets just like most Chinese fans... until I see Manu dunking on Yao and I became a fan of him since then
My favourite ever player, I will miss him when he finally retires. Not only a great NBA career, but he was a star in Europe (winning the Triple Crown in 2001), and led Argentia to the gold medal in 2004.
I have been lucky enough to have seen Manu's growth first hand after moving to San Antonio in 03 myself. I forget how earlier he was into his NBA career by the 05 finals and what a huge role he played for the Spurs and already become an impact player on the NBA. Fast forward 14years to Manu's last game in San Antonio. It was game 4 of the first round playoffs vs Golden State. Spurs were down 3-0 and facing a sweep. Little did myself and everyone in attendance would know it ended up being his last home game of his career for the Spurs. Manu hit a crucial 3 with under a minute left to seal the game for us. Having been to many Spurs games and many memorable moments this is easily the loudest the AT&T center ever got outside of winning a championship. Manu a possession or 2 later hurt his ankle, this ended up being the injury that lead to his retirement as it ended up being an achilies injury and not the turned ankle we hoped it was at the time. The emotion and chanting of the crowd shouting "MANU-MANU-MANU" ... Id like to think helped gave Manu the extra motivation and strength to finish the game on the floor for us in attendance. Manu was indeed the man!
unique play style, his ability to play unpredictable, his heart for the game. He is the main reason I love spurs and will continue to support the spurs. The eurostep maestro is one of my inspirations why I love to play basketball. definitely HOF guy.
Being an argentinean, I can assure you Manu's great improvisational skills is something all great athletes from here have, Messi and Maradona are both in the top 5 skilled and creative players in football history, we in general are smaller, slower but tend to compensate with creativity and some magic
Bruno Sassone Being skillful at something can come through hours of pratice. But being creative is definitely a gift. God bless your country for making so many great athletes!
San Antonio loves you Manu! The Spurs will never be the same. One of the greatest to ever play the game. His team first mentality is something all players should emulate.
MANU is one of the greatest Basketball player ever.. his fancy moves his shooting his ability to drive in the basket gets me crazy... as one of the SAN ANTONIO SPURS fans i treasurs MANU for helping the team for how many years.. THANK YOU MANU and GOODLUCK for you're another journey.. #MANUGINOBILI IS REAL... FROM YOUR FANS ALL THE WAY FROM THE PHILIPPINES..
You want to know, well here you go... I met Manu when I was 17 in Argentina, my dad said..."This guy is special, we should bring him to Atenas" Our local basketball professional team.. Manu for me is my inspiration, despite all the injuries, as a former basketball player.. Manu inspires me to keep going and not give up! In Argentina Manu is the greatest of all, many recognize him as the biggest sport athlete of all times, even bigger than Messi or Maradona, Soccer players (Our God among us!) Manu is an incredible human being and I can not wait to go and see him one more time!
ONE MORE YEAR!!! I make the trip to San Antonio to see Manu and the Spurs.. He is the best and special and if he leaves it will be very hard for the SPURS.. I even dare to say harder than when Timmy left last season.. Manu is the heart and soul the inspiration of the team..
I don't just like Manu.I LOVE MANU!!! SPURS fan 4 life!! GONNA MISS YOU PLAYING!!! It was an honor watching you play for my home team!!#5×NBA CHAMPION. SAN ANTONIO SPURS !!!!!!
First time I watched Manu was when he had the game winner against t wolves back in 2008. I remember he won 6 man of the year that year. He had 44 in that Minnesota game. True warrior, true champion, true spur
Ginobili! Totally loved Manu. Great competitor. Very creative. You're right. The way he sees the basketball court.. man, would I love to have that vision for a minute lol.
"underdog", "nobody saw this coming", etc etc... please finish ur phrases by saying "In America"... he was a Euroleague MVP before moving to SA. Not like he was a complete unknown!! love Manu
yes, 57th pick in the (AMERICAN) NBA Draft. Everyone in Europe knew how great he was by then. Also, 57 is explained because he was selected in 1999. He was just 22 and beginning to shine in Europe (he stayed 3 more years in Europe when he really stood out)
I totally agree...the difference between the draft year and the year he come to the nba is very very important...also Manu was already considered a great great player in europe...but USA was not so opened towards foreign players like today
Sometimes getting picked later is a partial motivator to prove those who passed made a big mistake. But I think he got onto the right team and it shows.
It was 2004 summer olympics at athens, greece when my older brother is watching Argentina vs USA, and ask who's the left handed with a crafty moves wearing #5 jersey? And my brother said.. "he's Manu Ginobili, he popularized eurostep to the NBA". And me like, "what? he's on NBA??" That's where i started becoming he's fan after kobe and tmac. #salute #argentinianBogeyman
Manu has been my favorite Spur. Love watching him play basketball. He’s the kind of player that makes you think that anybody can play basketball. And of course his interviews are always great to watch to, they show off that not only is he a great player but also that he’s intelligent.
The fact that he didn’t bully his way off the team so he could be a starter somewhere else says so much about his character. He is a standard bearer for NBA greatness and the ultimate teammate
For me, being from SA, born and raised, Manu got me into basketball and inspired me to always strive to be great no matter the odds. Truly one of the best players in the league's history and without a doubt had an impact on my life.
My dearly beloved Manu Gino-Billy :') Favorite moment, 2004 semis at the Olympics, by a long shot. We were all fooling around before and after practice trying to replicate that shot.
Im a fan of him. And Im also a left handed. Most of the time when I play I always copy his moves. For me he is the greatest left handed player in his era!
Without Manu we would probably only have two championships. Thank God popovich lightened up on him and cut him loose. Because we were pretty boring back then. It never would have lasted, but our defense helped us win championships so all in all it was good for both the Spurs and popovich. Manu had no fear and was exciting to watch a lot of people went to the games strictly because of him we didn't go to be bored to death. And he made everything exciting. I like what Kobe Bryant said he loves a guy so that's all I needed to know. He respected him probably more than anyone else he had to compete with.
I love manu...been watching him play ever since he came to the league when I was 15 years old...never imagined the day would come when he wouldnt be on the Spurs roster anymore but here we are now...I'm sure GNA miss the guy when he's gone...I felt the same way with Timmy and I sure miss him to...but now we got kawhi and Parker is Still around.. even though the west got tougher this upcoming season I feel we're close to another chip..let's get it Spurs!
THE ANDROID GAMER people don't realize that Manu and Argentina are one of the only teams to ever dethrone the US at their own game. If he were to have been drafted by anther team, he would've been a star
Manu is my all-time favorite NBA player. I've known his story coming from being a second thought to being world champion. His hard work, dedication to the game, and true grit will never be matched. Last season when he blocked Harden was pretty amazing, that layup against PHX in overtime for the win was awesome too, but I think my all-time favorite Ginobli moment was in the 2012 WC Semis against GS. 3.9 seconds in Double OT and Klaw inbounds it cross court to a wide open Manu for the catch and shoot. I about shit myself.
Manu could have went to a big market team and got paid big. He could have joined a superteam and been a superstar. Instead he played with the Spurs, a small market team, and was born a Spur and died a Spur. He played the right way imo, and didn't chase his own fame, he did it for his country, family, city and love of the game.
my entire game is inspired from him. he taught me to play not only by hands but by mind and heart. he means a lot for me everytime i play on the court. whenever i step in the hardwood, i say, should play like Manu. thanks Manu, im going to miss your wild fantastic moves
Well... Sebastian Ginobili was a great PG in the Argentinian league (he played once in the national team), right now is in San Antonio at the summer camp becouse he´s the Head Coach of Bahia Basket (the team of Bahia Blanca, the city of Ginobili). Leandro (older brother) wasnt a great player, he barely played in the argentinian league, he was a local player. You´ve made a good video. But Manu will play one more season. Maybe his last season.
For me Manu is the most succesful basketball player in history on the NBa and international basketball. Indeed a future hall.of famer.. Manu is my fave international player!
Back then i was a football player/fan but, there's one time i turned on the TV, unintentionally i passed on the NBA's channel then what I saw is a fascinating show. The G7 NBA finals between San Antonio and Detroit. That day I'm convinced by this guy, Manu Ginobili, to become part of the basketball world. Thank you Manu. Whatever your plans you'll gonna make, I'm still a great fan of yours.
Manu played like an all american that I new in eighth grade. I looked like Manu in eighth grade, flacko, 4'-111/4, 85 lbs and could bearly make a basket from the foul line. But the all american was about 5'-8" and could run with a football in one hand with three of us defending the goal line we tried touching him but he wood slide on the lose asphalt and zig zagging and laughing at us while he maneuver in and out. No different with the basketball. At our time in 73-74 there was no three point line. But he could let it rip anytime. It's a blessing to see skills at that level and see it in your team, picking up on what playing together has now developed to. He always got the MVP award. As I told Manu when I meet him in 04 at the IHOP. No te rahes! Don't ever quit!!! I knew they'd rough him up. He should'd them. Thanks for playing Manu and thanks San Antonio Spurs for believing!!!!.
The Argentinian sensation finally hang it up after 16 incredible season. Thank you Manu, there will be none like you! #FutureHOF #SpursLegend
finalllyyyyyy this title makes sense
fist 3 years as nba pro...title, wins gold medal and then is an all star an wins title and has a great game 7...hes a winner .....
🏆🏆🏆🏆🐐☝️
Nice vid Bro! We love Manu 4 ever! He's Argentina best sportsman in modern history. He took the national team to win the gold in the olímpics beating US in the semifinals.😎
I'm going to burn the NBA to the ground if Manu doesn't get inducted to the Hall of Fame. Dude is ridiculous.
Rubentastique
He will get along with Dirk and Parker
Rubentastique why the hell would the NBA not put Manu in the HoF. First ballot definitely
he better be a first ballot HOF too
Rubentastique Without question he is in. Apart from having an illustrious NBA career, he secured the olympic basketball gold medal for Argentina in 2004. Beating the USA, which was amazing and sad. Because no one should beat the USA in basketball.
Ruben, i am with you bro. He must be included.
This guy is the most underrated player by far in the NBA history.

Justin Kim and his flopping
he is the deadpool of NBA. everybody's gonna miss his tricks and clutch plays :(
Wolf Gang your profile picture tricked me😂😂
wish granted
Justin Kim 'No one can't' = Everyone can... tf😂😂
Manu gave everything he had each and every game. Rare breed
Arguably the best lefty to ever play in the NBA. Top five international player of all time & most importantly... a true world champion!
David Torralva David Robinson. manu is up there tho!!

Larry The Lobsterr the reason he has those rings is because he had played with 10+ hofers
Manu's the reason why I started watching NBA
I liked him even more than Kobe,,.
This man brought almost all latinos to enjoy basketball .... which is incredible
Adolf Hitler latinos can be white you know
@Adolf Hitler and? Argentinians, Uruguayans and Chileans still Latinos and Hispanics, yall need to go to school
As an Argentinian, Manu means everything to me, the best foreign player the league has ever see
Digipokmasto glad he was such a spark for your country!
*cough* Dirk *cough*
I love Manu but I gotta give Dirk slight nod. The Nowitzkinator is the best foreign national (non-American) in NBA history.
I admit besides Manu Dirk is one of the best but did he help with. Rings and other championship like Manu and Olympic gold and etc..
There will never be another Manu.Thanks for the memories.
Manu Ginogili = Hall of fame!
Cristian Fassi no doubt!
Cristian Fassi man I'm going to miss this man
Cristian Fassi Ginobilli× 💕
He will get inducted maybe 2022 or 2023.
don't forget first ballot
WOW!!
For impact & globalizing the NBA he's right up there with Michael & Kobie. The NBC would loose lots of its unpredictability & entertainment.
Will miss those through d legs passes to himself.
Guts, tenacity, ...........winner!

I'm from San Antonio and I am thankful for all the great memories he gave us. Hall of Famer!!!
My dad and I would get season tickets just to watch Manu!!
You're so lucky.. I would have given my left ball to see the Big 3 LIVE in person!!
I’ve been to one game, FEB 2014 wow it was amazing! You got to see them all season niceeeee
Where are you from?
Manu, the MVP of South America all the time. Brilliant, genious! A brazilian fan.
I think so...And I'm Chilean!!!!
ONE MORE YEAR!!! I make the trip to San Antonio to see Manu and the Spurs.. He is the best and special and if he leaves it will be very hard for the SPURS.. I even dare to say harder than when Timmy left last season.. Manu is the heart and soul the inspiration of the team..

Manu is my favorite player in all NBA
I think he has a future as a coach, few players understand the game as he does.
He is the man.. Such a talented guy.. A good inspiration 😀
Top SG all time
1. Jordan
2. Kobe
3. Ginobili
Did Dawyne Wade die?
Agreed
@@jeremyking9442 no, it was Kobe
Wade had a better career but when they were on the court same time Manu was the better player by a lil .
Ginobili is finalizing a return for the 2018 season! 🙏🙏🙏
Fantasy Ballers Association Great video mate! Hope to see similar videos like this in the near future.
Ginobili! Totally loved Manu. Great competitor. Very creative. You're right. The way he sees the basketball court.. man, would I love to have that vision for a minute lol.

he didn't win euro MVP until after he was drafted
He is my favorite player since I was 5 years old, and forever it will be, Manu para Siempre
57 pick...God Damn
Sometimes getting picked later is a partial motivator to prove those who passed made a big mistake. But I think he got onto the right team and it shows.
Manu was the man. Incredible player and so fun to watch. Spurs wouldn't have so good without him.
Bro this is so beautiful; the wild and talented rookie is taken in by the strict, harsh coach who matures him into a man and a legend.
BASKETBALL legend, not just spurs legend
whoops I stand corrected
Love the video thanks for making the video. Manu is my all time favorite player of NBA

I grew watching him play, he's my idol and i always remember him
Manu is one of the best players in the NBA
Manu has been my favorite Spur. Love watching him play basketball. He’s the kind of player that makes you think that anybody can play basketball. And of course his interviews are always great to watch to, they show off that not only is he a great player but also that he’s intelligent.
The ultimate competitor just like MJ and kobe and he also fearless
-Spurs Legend +NBA Legend
the one of my favorite player manu the magician ginobili..no one ever player same like Manu simply player.
The fact that he didn’t bully his way off the team so he could be a starter somewhere else says so much about his character. He is a standard bearer for NBA greatness and the ultimate teammate
For me, being from SA, born and raised, Manu got me into basketball and inspired me to always strive to be great no matter the odds. Truly one of the best players in the league's history and without a doubt had an impact on my life.
Manu is my favorite player ! Thanks for the video!!!
No problem! Thanks for watching :)
Fantasy Ballers Association what song did you use?
He's my favorite player too.
The iron soul, who fight the spurs to 4 rings
next spurs coach? love manu
Sebastian Tremano He'd be a great assistant coach beside Popivich
His relentless way of playing combined with his unorthodox style makes him unique.
More than just Basketball, his work ethic and ingenuity will fit in any mold and model. Keep on pounding the rock y'all.
HecRockuS AndMoriKuS well said!
My dearly beloved Manu Gino-Billy :')
Favorite moment, 2004 semis at the Olympics, by a long shot. We were all fooling around before and after practice trying to replicate that shot.
Im a fan of him. And Im also a left handed. Most of the time when I play I always copy his moves. For me he is the greatest left handed player in his era!
One of the best ever and his unique style was awesome
He will be missed once he does retire but for now I will enjoy watching him play. San Antonio Texas.
26 points the other day.. CRAZY!
Without Manu we would probably only have two championships. Thank God popovich lightened up on him and cut him loose. Because we were pretty boring back then. It never would have lasted, but our defense helped us win championships so all in all it was good for both the Spurs and popovich. Manu had no fear and was exciting to watch a lot of people went to the games strictly because of him we didn't go to be bored to death. And he made everything exciting. I like what Kobe Bryant said he loves a guy so that's all I needed to know. He respected him probably more than anyone else he had to compete with.
Great video! One skill he doesn’t get credit for is he was one of the best at moving without the ball.
Such a thrill to watch Manu. He made a every game fun to watch. Never knowing what to expect
Soy argentino todo amamos a Manu es uno de los mejores y más intensos jugadores que vi nunca se da por vencido muy buen video saludos
i will always admire what this man has contributed to the game of basketball..Kudos Manu!
Manu for ever... Thank you...
I wish somebody someday will post all loose balls and 50/50 posessions Manu won for his team in his career.
That would be amazing, but GOD it would be SO much work. Could you imagine?
I love manu...been watching him play ever since he came to the league when I was 15 years old...never imagined the day would come when he wouldnt be on the Spurs roster anymore but here we are now...I'm sure GNA miss the guy when he's gone...I felt the same way with Timmy and I sure miss him to...but now we got kawhi and Parker is Still around.. even though the west got tougher this upcoming season I feel we're close to another chip..let's get it Spurs!
Manu gives life to NBA. So exciting player
should've included his Olympic medal run as well. nevertheless great vid man 👍
Praveen Chandrasekaran yeah no doubt it was huge when Argentina defeated the US back in 2002. Thank you!

Martin Levin youre right! my mistake I always get confused with FIBA and the Olympics
Fantasy Ballers Association Bro im from bahía blanca ; born City of manu. Every info you ll need Just let me know
THE ANDROID GAMER people don't realize that Manu and Argentina are one of the only teams to ever dethrone the US at their own game. If he were to have been drafted by anther team, he would've been a star
Great video
Manu is stupid awesome. The heart and soul of the* Spurs for so many years. 1st ballot Hall of Famer? Yes..no debate!
So amazing he made the hall of fame
Not only a spurs legend, but NBA legend
An Argentinian hero and best basketball player that give courage and inspiration to future athletes. I salute to you manu......
Really great tribute to manu one of the best players to change the nba. Awesome video man 👍👍👍👍👍
Manu is my all-time favorite NBA player. I've known his story coming from being a second thought to being world champion. His hard work, dedication to the game, and true grit will never be matched. Last season when he blocked Harden was pretty amazing, that layup against PHX in overtime for the win was awesome too, but I think my all-time favorite Ginobli moment was in the 2012 WC Semis against GS. 3.9 seconds in Double OT and Klaw inbounds it cross court to a wide open Manu for the catch and shoot. I about shit myself.
Manu could have went to a big market team and got paid big. He could have joined a superteam and been a superstar. Instead he played with the Spurs, a small market team, and was born a Spur and died a Spur. He played the right way imo, and didn't chase his own fame, he did it for his country, family, city and love of the game.
my nickname in video games always been giNOOBili hes a super hero!
pablodz81 ahahahah I like thattt
Un jugador espectacular muy entretenido ver sus detalles técnicos. De los pocos jugadores que manejan todas la facetas del juego
manu is love!
my entire game is inspired from him. he taught me to play not only by hands but by mind and heart. he means a lot for me everytime i play on the court. whenever i step in the hardwood, i say, should play like Manu. thanks Manu, im going to miss your wild fantastic moves
Ginobili is the Maradona of basketball,skill wise hands down🏀🏆🎖
The Best moment was manu catching a bat flying in the air
Nice Video!
Only an observation, Manus brothers played in the 90s and 2000 (The older brother maybe played in the end of the 80s)
couldn't find much information about his brothers but thanks for telling me 😀
No problem! Leandro Ginobili retired in 2003 and Sepo Ginobili in 2012.
Anyway Its an excellent video!
One of Manu's brothers now coaches his/their childhood club and competes in Argentina's first division and the south american international leagues.
Well... Sebastian Ginobili was a great PG in the Argentinian league (he played once in the national team), right now is in San Antonio at the summer camp becouse he´s the Head Coach of Bahia Basket (the team of Bahia Blanca, the city of Ginobili). Leandro (older brother) wasnt a great player, he barely played in the argentinian league, he was a local player.
You´ve made a good video. But Manu will play one more season. Maybe his last season.
ive been a spurs fand since i was 8 and my family is from argentina this video almost made me tear up 😭
For me Manu is the most succesful basketball player in history on the NBa and international basketball. Indeed a future hall.of famer.. Manu is my fave international player!
Greatest left handed player ever.
how he balled up the usa team ! pretty much shaq and kobe , tim Duncan and ginobili
He is to me one the best to ever play the game. Defense an offense he had it all all time great in my book hands down.
Manu is the GOAT
por Manu y por Tim Duncan me convertí en fan de los spurs, además divertidísimo el Manu.
He’s my idol. My childhood hero.
Die hard fan from Philippines. 😊 hope to meet him.
All Time Favourite Player love you Manu!
Manu is my favorite player since I know NBA for the first time in my life. I know him from NBA 2k7. Thank you for the video, dude!
Back then i was a football player/fan but, there's one time i turned on the TV, unintentionally i passed on the NBA's channel then what I saw is a fascinating show. The G7 NBA finals between San Antonio and Detroit. That day I'm convinced by this guy, Manu Ginobili, to become part of the basketball world. Thank you Manu. Whatever your plans you'll gonna make, I'm still a great fan of yours.
Manu played like an all american that I new in eighth grade. I looked like Manu in eighth grade, flacko, 4'-111/4, 85 lbs and could bearly make a basket from the foul line. But the all american was about 5'-8" and could run with a football in one hand with three of us defending the goal line we tried touching him but he wood slide on the lose asphalt and zig zagging and laughing at us while he maneuver in and out. No different with the basketball. At our time in 73-74 there was no three point line. But he could let it rip anytime. It's a blessing to see skills at that level and see it in your team, picking up on what playing together has now developed to. He always got the MVP award. As I told Manu when I meet him in 04 at the IHOP. No te rahes! Don't ever quit!!! I knew they'd rough him up. He should'd them. Thanks for playing Manu and thanks San Antonio Spurs for believing!!!!.
great video man, I've been a Spurs fan once I got familiar with the game. I remember is 2005 title run, and that was one heck of a performance.
