"How good was Manu actually?"

The biggest draft steal ever and the best 6th man ever. That's how good he was when put it simply.

[lorrielongoria]

Argentina, thank you. Your son gave me some of my greatest jaw dropping moments as a sports fan. I can't tell you how many countless times I questioned myself, "did I really just see him do that?" He was amazing on the court and by all accounts an even better human being. Mark it down as Manu getting in as a 1st ballot HOF'er.

As a Spurs fan since 2005, I just know:
Whenever the game is going down to the wire, the camera will always follow on Manu. Even this guy is already 41 years old. This means a lot. Years later, when you memory some exciting games about Spurs, most of the pictures in your mind are about Manu.
If you don't watch his game, you won't know how great he is, a real superhero hidden behind the data. This guy has a strange trait, when you look at his game, you always fell that this guy must already 20+10+5+5, but when you look at his data, WTF?
There is a popular saying said that Tim alone ensured the Spurs is a playoff team, while plus Manu ensured the Spurs is a champion team. There is also another popular saying said the Spurs plays in two styles, the Pop's way, and the Manu's way. I don't know if there is another player got such evaluation. For me, he is a unique legend and the GOAT for the NBA sixth man.

You missed one particular aspect about Manu's game, that also made him great. He was always great when the match got hard, when the ball burned in the hands of players. He drew the pressure, he grew bigger as the match grew on its difficulty.

Stats don't always tell you the whole story, there will never be another like Manu, legend.

I'll never forget that dunk over bosh in the 2014 finals. Turning back the clock!

[Southtxboi]

I got to see Manu play over 50 times because I live in the area. He was my favorite player I got to see him play his rookie year to his last season, the whole city fell in love with him. He loved SA and POP and he wore and played with his heart on his sleeve. What a legend.

[Davivd]

He was one of the best improvisational players I've ever seen. He could see holes in the defense, and react to them instantaneously and find a way to still score no matter how the defense would clamp down on him when he penetrated. Creativity combined with incredibly fast thinking. That's Manu Ginobili. He was exciting to watch and will be missed.

[martinsuarez]

We the argentinians are so proud of having a guy like him, for many of us, our best sportsman ever.

[numak]

He CHOSE to come from the bench that's why my perspective changes about him. He is a great player.

[BryanCasella]

definitely one of the better players of all time, and super underrated.

[resterag]

Don't forget, He made the euro step popular in the NBA

[movementman]

Manu was so good even in his older years.

[omnivorous]

He was a franchise player in disguise. He won at every level, in Europe, World Championship, Olympics and with the Spurs. He was a basketball genius and I am not using that word lightly. His motor skills and creativity added novel ways of scoring to the game. He played passes no one else saw and tried before. He had limitless self confidence and had this fearlessness that came with his high destiny gut. It shows in his titles not necessarily in his numbers. He was completely unique in a way few players are.

[DeathBuzz]

If Ginobili doesn't go to the hall, I'm gonna eat my shoes

[Daiton]

Bballbreakdown said it best, if Manu didn't play in the Spurs team orientated offense and was given the minutes and touches of an NBA star he would have put up super star numbers no doubt. Its kinda sad to see the Spurs dynasty finally come to an end tbh

[jbart]

How good was he?

He was the only who can drop 20+ a game on prime "8" kobe and was on the bench. Let that sink in.

If you've ever watched videos of the playoffs when Manu was in his prime, you know how good he is...and even late in his career when he'd lost a step he may not have been putting up the numbers he once did but he was still more valuable and contributed more to winning than a jamal crawford or lou williams

[theassassingoat]

You forgot to mention when he smacked a bat during a game

[lianyu]

Manu is my favorite NBA player all time... I fell in love with the game after watching him... True legend
