Manu Ginobili's Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech 

I think I speak for everyone when I say....GINOBILIIIIIIII

Met him in an HEB. He overheard me talking basketball with my son-in-law and joined in the conversation. Pretty surreal.

One of only 2 humans in history to have an NBA championship, Euroligue title and Olympic medal. Historic.

4x champion. 1x Olympic Gold Medalist. 1x Sixth man of the year. 2x All-Star. 2x All-NBA. 1x bat terminated (best K/D ratio in basketball) 1x EuroLeague champion and Finals MVP. Greatest Sixth Man of all time. Greatest Latino player of all time. The heart and soul of the Spurs franchise. Congratulations, Manu Ginóbili. You earned it.

THE GREATEST 6TH MAN EVER. CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. MANU GINOBILI 🇦🇷

I love and miss Manu. The epitome of what a basketball player should be. Pure class. Respect.

Should’ve been in the Top 75.

What a speech, never knew MANU was this articulate, one of the best speeches I've ever heard ever....

You gave our Lakers fits during my formative years growing up. And as a lifelong Lakers fan, I was more nervous about you being on the court than anyone else on the Spurs. As clever and unpredictable a player as it gets in the NBA. You earned this and thanks for all the memories. Nothing but respect for you.

One of the greatest stars of his decade and one of the best euro league players ever. He and Kukoc both did wonders in Italy.

Well deserved, thanks for everything Manu #20.

Fantastic player … super clutch in crunch time. Thank You Giiiiinoooobliiiiiiii !!

Class act. Gracias Manu ❤️

Man he was the most unselfish superstar and sacrifice his role to win. Could of been a super star on any other team but decide to come off the bench most seasons. That’s a legend there. He was one of the most toughest and passionate players ever. Competitive

72% highest winning percentage of all the NBA over 1000games he played in that just incredible to think that no one will ever break that record

He was fun to watch

thank you for being an inspiration & great role model to a lot of people, including me. congratulations, manu!👏👏👏👏👏

Well deserved.Congratulations!!

One of the Greats. It was a pleasure to see him play.

Thanks idol

Woo, what a smooth operator and a Solid Guy. Sure enjoyed watching you play. Enjoy your Retirement and keep up the good works.

Good job manu

❤️So nervous, so heartbreaking... Is unfair to remember that kind of trip in just 15min... He is a very grateful man. And full of fire. ❤️Gracias Manu! GRACIAS!

VERY KOOL MANU! YEAH! AND THANK YOU! I WATCHED MANY OF THOSE SPURS GAMES AND LOVED IT! YOU GUYS HAD TEAM SWAGG & CLASS! BLESSINGS!

i feel so happy watching this!!

GINOBILI !!!!!!!!!! Let's gooooooooo.

I grew up watching this man play for the spurs and I shared every heartbreak every championship and every Manu moment. I feel like watching this dude play is something that I will never take for granted. He might not go into the hall of fame as the best player of all time or anything crazy like that but for those of us who got to enjoy his game all those years know he is the best at what he came to do, win. Statistically one of the best winning percentages of any player when on the court. Some might not remember some might not have understood what it takes to win like that but for sure I know I speak for those of us who do know; there will never be another Ginobili and we’ll never forget those years. Gracias Manu ❤

Amazing speech from a true legend ❤

my best player. LOVE FROM NEPAL :)

Muchicimas gracias Manu🙌🙌🙏

Well Deserved. Ginobili! MR Euro🏀

The five way battle between the Spurs, Lakers, Kings, Mavs and the Suns back in the early 2000's was a sight to behold and Manu was in the middle of it.

But above all thanks to you Manu. It was a sight to see you play.

Gracias por tanto

As a diehard Suns fan it pains me to say this but Manu is a class act.

Class act 🎬 truly one of the greatest Spurs 🏀

The 2004 Argentina team that won the Olympic gold medal solidify his HOF status. To beat an all NBA US team in the Olympics is a statement.

Magnificent 😊

Great champion who played with zeal and never gave up 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏀

I still remember when you play in Italy, Great!

OLEEEEEEEE OLE OLE OLEEEEEEE MANUUUUUUU MANUUUUUUUUU

MANUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

my favorite player

Class.

As a diehard Spurs Fan for over 30 Years, this Is Amazing and Sad at the Same Time. Well Deserved Ginoooooo.

Top 10 greatest SG of all time hands down

Gracias Manu!

顺境看帕克，逆境看邓肯，绝境看马努。Well deserved, congratulations!

My hero

Congratulations Manu one of my favorite players ever in nba history period!!!!! And one of the greatest players ever in nba history period!!!!!

Prolific fundamental baller! One of the few smartest players

Best teammate of all time!

Next up is Tony Parker

Black guy from tough streets of chi with tears in my eyes.....Great acknowledgement!

I love you Manu!

Back in the day, we used to shout Ginobiliiiii on the blacktop

God bles yours , because from argentina

Man, I was waiting for Barkley at the end of the speech to say Ginooooooooooobili!

Great player 💯💯💯💯

Que lujo haber tenido en Argentina un atleta de la altura y clase de Manu Ginobili

He was a big part of all their championships him and Duncan and Parker those big three were big three they were a dynasty all those championships they won. Plus they had a great coach and they had great bench players one of the best organizations ever. NBA teams want to be like the San Antonio Spurs but not a lot of teams can be as great as the San Antonio Spurs.

Felicidades Manu

Manu Ginobli is the man my favorite SG of all time Go Spurs Go Spurs Family

Manuuuuu!!!!

GREATEST 6th Man AND hustler !!! One of the Best left handed player , HARDEn ain’t close to ginobili

Manu!!!!!!!!

Sos demasiado grande, Manu!!

Yet I have not watched one single Hall Of Fame Speech which did not put tears in my eyes

GOD bless

Love how he named his teammates and I’m sure if he could he would name of them if he had the time. He led all those groups as a 6th man and spent the most time on the court with the bench players.

MANU

Tim Duncan hair is awesome should had that during his playing days would have been a bigger fan. 😂

Got shooters like ginobli

Lakers fan and Dallas transplant. He killed both my teams constant and is one of the greatest and unselfish.

I don’t hear Barkley screaming his name

легенда😊

the best is manu about his family, pop, def agrees...! as a german, very passionate.... family... huge to me, that manu adressed it like that.... god damn , id rather run for 2 hrs....! thank you again maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuuuuuu maaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuuuu

I cant believe AD and russ is in top 75 and this guy is not. He revolutionized the euro step in NBA not mentioning his assists.

My nickname for him was The Slinky!!!

0:04 Chuck in the back screaming “that’s a creek”

manu, is the perfect if not the most perfect example of ... give n underdog a chance....! there we go...! i moved 2014 to the states.... i wish..... but manuuuu maaanuuuu.... gracias hombre, really for all the flying hair intensity....to me as a german, and yes dirk now.... but the role you played with such truth....more inspiring honestly than dirk, which is huge to say, really... different position too, but pop was and os right.... messi for football is manuuuuuu in europe for basketball... well at least for me.... gracias and danke, manuel G!!!!

I've had arguments with people saying he and Tony Parker weren't Hall of famers. I guess I won 😂

I am Manu!

Please have a hall of fame for legendary Role Players. Role Players Hall of Fame.

Avery Johnson • 5’11” • no college scholarship • three college teams • no NBA draft • walk on • World Champion

He might not have the status of a Kobe, Jordan or Wade, but in terms of toughness and competitive spirit he's up there with them. I might be crazy but if you gave me the possibility to draft him or Harden i'd definitely draft Manu

Su padreeee

Creator of euro step

Class act when it's hard to get 30 year Olds to understand things. Class organization.

I'd like to ask Manu who was the toughest player he faced?

When you know you played the game the right way.... You can retire peacefully.

Джинобилииииииии

I need to get the translation of what he said in Spanish

Can someone tell me what he said in Spanish

next year tony is next

the only HOF ever, with less than 15k points his standing 3 PT is quite good, career average .360, and can penetration and dunk or lay up with Euro Step! very good SG , and his effort and hustle in defense is good too, always play with full effort ! 1 of the most difficult achievement, than NBA title, is to win against Olympics USA team

Tony Parker is next.

First

He shaved his head now. He had the best bald spot in NBA history

I don't care what anybody says he is the Argentinian Michael Jordan
