Manu Ginobili Was a Basketball Genius! | Defining Moments Explained 🐐 

For the true basketball fans and not the stats sheet readers, this guy is definitely an all time Top 5 SG (even maybe Top 3 behind Michael and Kobe). The game changed forever since he burst onto the scene.

Great showcase man. I just want to add, it wasn't about the iconic moments or that random block on Harden... it was something else, when the team needed a spark, he was always the guy with the matches. The defensive stops, the out-of-nowhere dunks or the unstopable pick and rolls that he invented game to game was a thing to watch. You could sense the difference on the team's vibe when he jumped on the court from the bench or when clutch time was on. Such a winner and so humble, what a combination.

When he passed a ball between the legs of Norris Cole on the run....I just clapped. Pure genius

Ginobili is a basketball genius. A savant. His way of playing basketball is uniquely his. He sees and exploits angles that are not there for aother players. And whereever he played, he was a winner, no exceptions.

His herorics against 4 hofers in LA with Tim and Tony out nearly winning the game. Also after hitting the game winner against the bucks the night before, he repeated that against the nuggets. Then on the next possession Melo goes racing down into the paint with the ball and manu takes the charge to save the game. So many amazing plays over the years but how about Manu Kiss Cam?!?! Its on YT.

Genius, magician, Unique , the Best , the beast , Manu is amazing a chosen by the god , is from another planet. Dear Manu, welcome to the HOF , you deserve it. I'm argentinian and so very happy

Growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s, at least how I remember it, Manu is about the most clutch player in NBA history.... It always seemed that the fourth quarter of every close playoff game was Manu time!!

SG 1- michael jordan 2- kobe bryant 3- Manu Ginobili Period.

Never knew Manu as a kid but I picked Spurs on NBA 2008 (EA) because he is a stealer and a good shooter, he can dunk and can finish near the rim. After that was history, really wanted to watch his games and 2012-2015 Spurs was a classic. Really loved how the group dished the ball around defenders. Gracias Manu and congrats on being a HOFer!

My favorite : back to back decisive action vs Denver. One on offense with a magic split circus shot. Next on on defense with a offensive fault on Carmelo Anthony. W

During the Spurs' peak they had a very textbook and methodic pase to their game. Manu was the sparkplug that made watching them exciting. The energy he brought off the bench and the breakneck speed at which he attacked the basket where crazy to watch.

King of the Eurostep 🤴

I was at the game with the bat. It was flying around for at least 5 minutes. I told my friend that if anybody hits it, it will be Manu😉

Houston fan here and I can say when Manu blocked Harden I cursed him. Then just as fast I marveled at his recovery and block from behind. There was no quit in that guy. One of my favorite players to this day.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN FINALS MVP IN 2005 \\

My basketball hero! Viva Manuu! ❤️🏀

He is morethan kobe and lebron ,if he didnt accept the sixthman role, he is one of the greatest and most talented NBA player,and in 2017 west final if kawhi is not injured by zaza Im sure there will be a 6 championship

Such a great player and overal gentleman. You just need to hear what the greatest players say about him to understand that he was really special.

the 1 handed laser pass to Matt Bonner is my favorite Manu play

Manu is better than any SG in the league today. Paul George has been the best SG of the last decade as well but for some reason people think Harden or Klay have been better.

All of Manu's Assists!

I remember watching that 48 point performance against the Suns live on TV. It was insane. Him and Amare Stoudemire going back and forth through OT

Never forget: The media portrayed the Spurs as "boring" because the media studios were mostly in CA. So tons of real basketball fans slept through one of the greatest NBA runs of all time because they let the media distort their reality. It's great to see all the fans making videos and learning the legendary stories. The Big Three is really a two part series because there's before Kawhi and then with Kawhi. Two completely different teams, same record breaking win percentage. LeBron was amazing to play against when he first arrived (swept by the Spurs in the finals) and watching his legend grow has been fun. Kobe left us too early, I thought we would be hearing from that legend for years to come. He was amazing and it was because of Kobe and that incredible Lakers team that the Spurs built the team the built. 1999 proved that the Spurs had it in them, but it wasn't until 2003 that they actually built the team designed to counter each piece of the Lakers team. Manu was the key ingredient, because he was truly a worthy guard to counter Kobe. Kobe's legendary status puts him miles above Manu of course, but it's true that Manu provided a legitimate counter and helped the Spurs to keep up and take over. (Manu's rookie year, Stephen Jackson was able to keep up with Kobe at guard and the Spurs went on to win the year, 2003.)

The best Manu's moment is... cuando dejo al Dream Team mirando la final en las tribunas!!!.-

He is the most underrated player by far in the NBA history. He is one of the top 10 of all time. At his prime, he was the best basketball player in the world.

3:58 It’s impressive Manu averaged “18 points, 7 points, and 4 assists”.

I love Manu. So many great memories and experiences. He’s just a rad dude.

forget that he one was of the best in the nba...he was a true beast in Europe. watch clips from there and u will see. Manu in Kinder Bologna

Top 5 SG all time

Manuuuuu! Great video!

Came here to look for Ginobili flops, then saw this. He was one of my favorite Spurs players, with Duncan.

The block on kevin garnet or the dunk in the face of hao ming

The Michael Jordan of Argentina 20💍💍💍💍🇨🇱☝️🤠20 🐐

Basketball genius.

Obi-wan Ginobili :)

Great video! very professional youtuber

Highest WIN RATE in the history of the NBA. #1. Yeah, over freaking MJ, over Shaq, over Kobe, over Lebron, and over every single player with 1000 games in the HISTORY of the NBA. That's Manu.

he was also a flopper genius

Grande atleta, eccezionale giocatore

Right before the incredible shot versus the GSW in 2013, Ginobli took an equally incredible bad shot. Put the bad and the good together, that's the most iconic Manu.

I love Timmy and Parker....but Gino is my favorite.

GREG IS THE BEST HOW HE MANAGE THIS THOSE GUY'S LIKE MANU PARKER DUNKUN

Manu Ginobili was by far my favorite basketball player of all time absolutely one of the most clutch to ever play the game by far one of the most deadly snipers very good defense mentally tough physically tough, a winner at every level four NBA titles two Euro titles and one gold medal and like I said was one of the most clutch he no team had an answer for him no team in the NBA ever had an answer for Manu Ginobili

Dude has Ozzie Status at in Alamo city lol

killed my suns

manu shouldve been awarded finals mvp not kahwi

So many inacuracies in this video. 😂😂😂😂😂 C'mon man! Do the man justice. Manu deserves better.

hello I am an Argentine person who is in love with the game of manu ginobili you have to remember the game we managed to beat the United States in the Olympics! this type is incredible! The eurostep is a great move! have a good one, you have a beautiful league, keep it going, peace

Why do you say his name so weird?

1st

2nd

The number one, My Idol !! I MISS SOO MUCH MANU !!

Manu is Argentinian not Italian

My favorite player Manu ginobili20 here in the Philippines 🇵🇭

Manu is number 1 in the history of the NBA in wins percentage (over 72%) comparing players with more than 1,000 games. That's how good he was. My favourite moment: his olympic gold medal with Argentina.

6th man goat, humble, clutch, high iq, fearless, winner, and also a champion.

Manu is certainly underrated. USA is almost certain for gold or maybe Spain during the Olympics. But Manu really helped Argentina capture that Gold.

Raja Bell has said that he only tells people Kobe was the hardest player to guard because that's what they wanted to hear. But his real answer was Manu, because for his entire career, he could never figure out what he would do. Kobe said the same thing. When Manu entered the league, they had to adjust to his playstyle and pace because it was something they've never seen before.

Manu is the fkng best

Every time I saw MANU play, it made me smile, a play, crazy, or just luck, I went to sleep happy, that was MANU, it made you happy!!!

why is a robot voicing this?

His last second shots! Even the Olympic one!

If he decided to move out from the Spurs in his peak, it could had been a franchise player. He's criminally underated.

its not that hard to win titles when u get to play with Rasho Nesterovic

KING OF THE EUROSTEP

Those saying hes not top 30 or 50 players of all time is basing off from stats.. they never watched him play..

The ultimate wild colt

Goated.

The 2017-2019 warriors were so wack. Seriously ruined the league those years

Favorite Manu moment... Eurostep over Shaq and Kobe... That's when he became my favorite Spur of all time... Sorry Admiral...

In 2009 season Manu carried the Spurs by scoring 24ppg while only avg 32mins per game when TP was injured for 21 games. Manu only lost 5 games without TP in that short period. We can all agree that he can be the main guy in different NBA team

Always and forever making Harden looking foolish. Its a 10 top NBA all time easy.

Manu Ginobili my favorite SG of All Time

There are too many moments!

No Detroit take over in game 7 ?

SO UNDERRATED PLAYER.... FOR ME IS TOP 7 SG OF ALL TIMES... MANU WAS MAGIC, DRIVE, STEEL, BLOCK, DUNK, PASS... HE DID EVERYTHING
