Ginobilli deserves more credit for his olympic title.

Lakers fan here. Nothing but respect. He made life hell. Props to him.

Damn the Spurs big three are no longer Spurs I feel old.

Duncan, Manu, Parker....End of an era😥

My favorite Manu moment was when he rejected James Har en at the buzzer. That was straight cold blooded 😁😁😂

its a shame how this man only made 2 all star games, 6 years apart, his second one came at the age of 33, and in between he was snubbed multiple times just because he didn't complain about coming off the bench, most underrated player ever!

Ask kobe and shaq if he deserves to be in the hall a fame he was pure hell for them

Manu ginobili didn't get his toughness from Europe. He's south American that's why

Stephens tone is like Manu died ? Lmaoo relax he’s retiring big fella

Manu was a true gentlemen of the game... Congrats on a great career!

As a laker fan. If there's one team that always makes me scared during the playoffs, it's always the spurs. Just the appearance of Manu makes us scared already. That's not just fear but also mad respect. You can't see what's going to happen whenever he grace the floor.

The greatest overall 2 guard outside Jordan and Kobe. I mean this guy could shoot outside like Jerry west. Could dunk savagely on you like Wade. Could pass like Bird and Magic. Could defend like Bruce Bowen and then he was as cold blooded clutch in the biggest games like Jordan and Kobe. I mean on any other team he would be a starter but that is his greatest quality winning really was number one so he played a sixth man and took pay cuts galore. No 2 guard ever has all that on their resume and I haven’t even mentioned the winning. 4 Titles a Gold metal and Euro championships. Everywhere he went he won big. First ballot HOF and my favorite player of all time. Thank you Manu for all the memories.

Manu had a great career but why is this dude talking like he's dead?

Manu Ginobli is the most underrated, under appreciated, under used and under paid player by far in the NBA history, probably in the entire professional sports history. A proven winner at every stage, a big game performer, a clutch time star and an ultimate team player, he is the all time best shooting guide right next to MJ. In his prime, he was the best player in the world, evidenced by the fact that he led Argentine beat so called dream teams twice. Everyone says Tim Duncan was Spurs' best player. However, Don't forget Duncan was beaten by Ginobili in the only game they faced each other and Duncan supposedly had a much better team. Tim Duncan's legacy was tarnished to some extend by the defeat in 04 Olympics, in my opinion. In fact, Ginobili is at least as crucial as TD for Spurs in their past 10+ years' run. Pope knew this very well. This is why he always put the ball in Manu's hands in the final play when a game is on the line. Ginobili is a prime example that international talents from small market countries got surpressed by NBA. Teams need their talents to win games, but also need US players to promote games. This is understandable. At the end, NBA is a business, a big business. The bottom line is important for everyone involved, including Ginobili himself. This is why he has accepted his role. He fully understands that if the system was not running in this way, he had no chance to collect the hefty paycheck worth morn than $100 millions in his career (still vastly under paid) and everyone else's pay could also be cut sizably This is why Tony Parker, a much less talented player has been promoted more because he represents France and to a large extent, the whole Europe. This is also why Kobe Kryant is so much hyped and grossly overrated. Finally, I believe international game is a fairer testing ground for a player. Professional games are managed by the business organization. They are more or less influenced by money in a direct or indirect way. International games are purely for glory. This is not only for NBA, but also for other major sports such as soccer. This is why World Cup is considered as the most important games in the world

He's the reason why my suns never made it to the nba finals

Not gonna lie, I used to hate Ginobili when my Mavs were going against the Spurs in the Playoffs but the man is one of the greatest international player of all time.

Manu = Greatest sixth man in NBA history.

He was not only a genius, his intensity, his defense... he wasn’t scared of anybody... what a player

I remember one year when the Lakers were out of the playoffs and Kobe was an analyst he said "Ginobili was the most dangerous player in the playoffs, the way he uses his left hand, the way he splits the defenders..." Thank you Manu Ginobili for being apart of one of the greatest rivalries in NBA history Spurs vs Lakers

He is a NBA HOF even with his NBA career only. The guy played tough defense, rebounds, big shot guy, and all around team player. Also, he brought the EURO step to the NBA. Then on top of that he beat and NBA dream team in the Olympics. Drop the Mic.

While Manu doesn't have the stats and some might even argue the accolades to be in the HOF, they are wrong. He sacrificed individual success for the greater good of a team for the better part of nearly 2 decades. If Ginobili doesn't belong in the HOF, then there is no sense of having it around. Manu is one of the all time great talents' the NBA has been fortunate enough to have had and has changed the game so much. That sort of selflessness and basketball craftiness needs to be acknowledged for future generations

MANU: The most underrated player in the NBA, best 6th man in NBA history

My favorite NBA player..He was so entertaining to watch, amazing competitor, humble. I always thought he was underrated because he came of the bench. Ginobili on any other team would've averaged 20 + ppg easily and more all star appearances, but he sacrificed coming off the bench for the good of the team. Not many players with that talent would accept that role. Hall of famer for sure!!

now he’s a hall of famer 👑

I’m a lakers fan, and in an Alex Caruso highlight, someone made the comparison that Alex provides the impact off the bench that Manu did. WRONG! MANU IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL.

Don't ever forget this man.

Nothing but respect for Manu he was tough on that court man💪🏽

Ginobilli could be the 4th greatest SG ever behind MJ, Kobe and Dwade.

Amazing what Pop created with Duncan, Manu, and Parker. It was a selfless team, they never let their egos get in the way of winning and playing for each other. They conducted themselves as professionals on and off the court always, Pop expected nothing less from his men.

Ginobli is definitely HoF, he brought/popularized the Eurostep.

San Antonio here... my city is bummed out 😩😢 our Big 3 are all gone

As a longtime Lakers fan, Manu is Hall of fame material. We had great memories during early post-season Manu, Tony & Tim against kobe / shaq. We were top 2 seeds in western conference every year

manu doesn't need the hall of fame, the hall of fame needs him

Ginobili had the skillset to be a team's primary and a perennial all star but he sacrificed and came off the bench for the spurs. Truly a class act! You will be missed Manu

he is Argentina, he is the leader of the 2004 Olympic gold, he is 4 times NBA champion, he was a big three in the most winning team for almost 20 years, he is hall of fame safer than the ice at the north pole, in 2004 at the pre-Olympic in Argentina with the Argentine winter he entered the cold gym with the Olympic selection and his companions thought that the gym was too cold to train, Manu lifted his hood and started running around the field and after a while all the companions went behind of him, here was born the Olympic gold, this is a hall of famer

Bro. He’s been underrated for years. Don’t deny this man what he deserves. Definitely a hall of famer

Thank you Manu. Go Spurs Go. You were absolutely one of the best to ever put on the Spurs jersey.

Lakers fan. Going to miss Manu. HALL OF FAMER.

Spurs has those Classic throwback players. They got David R. @5 The Ice Man @3 Tony Parker @1 Ginobli(South America) @2 and The greatest Caribbean player of all time Mr Tim Duncan.

Ginobili is a all 🌟 legend

His stats doesn't tell the full story. Compared to Antawn Jamison's 20,000 points, Manu's impact is a billion times larger. Class personified

A unique player... we will miss you

Kellerman was right. Manu was the first "positionless" basketball player of his era. Most people never think of him as a point guard, and yet he was one of the best pick-and-roll players of his era.

No question Manu is a Hall Of Fame player 💯💯💯💯💯

The Spurs: The Last Dynasty of Old School Basketball...

So proud when I see the respect and recognition he is getting. Thanks Manu

I been watching ginobili since being drafted. My favorite spur of all time. Icewaterinhisveins.

MANU hall of fame you make proud to be a Spurs fan

my favorite Manu moment when he dunked on Chris Bosh , after that moment I knew the Spurs were going to be champions

Already miss Ginobili thank you for all the amazing years!

Ginobili wasn't a junkyard dog so much as a well-trained police dog. More than just blind aggression, he'd do whatever the job required to take you down. Mad respect from a Rockets fan.

Analytics say it’s only a 20% chance he becomes a HOF... Shows you how useless advanced stats are

A tone legend! We’re always gonna love you here in San Antonio Manu!!!!!!

Manu was my favorite player and then he went on to do something special for my family and then became one of my favorite human beings.

Pop, Manu, Tony & Tim.. A Legendary Legacy. They won with intelligence and having a high IQ. They didn't need to be the most athletic or be snipers, they understood how to play the game, how to play their roles and win with class.

As a long time Spurs fan, I never wanted to see this day come when the big three were gone. The end of an era, but what a hell of a run it was!

GINOBILIIIIIIIII *charles Barkley voice*

Love you Manu- thank you for a Hall of Fame career with my San Antonio Spurs- thank you for all the memories, all the winning, & all the Championships! 😘

I will miss Manu. Cheers from Brazil!

Thank you Manu for all the great years!!! We are going to miss you!! Legend!!

No question! Manu's a First Ballad Hall of Famer. He was so unique. 👏💍💍💍💍👍✌

Ginooooo, gracias por todo! Aguante!!! 💙🇦🇷💙🇦🇷💙🇦🇷💙🇦🇷

As a laker fan, man, everytime I saw Manu in the game against us, he gave us massive MASSIVE headaches for his defense, scoring, and grit. Having said all that, he was one of the best competitors I've seen. No matter the age, he was STILL consistent. Great battles Manu! Congratulations! Can't wait for you to be in the Hall of Fame!

Just an absolute legend.

Lakers, Suns, Mavericks and Lebron know how great he is.

Thank you Manu Ginóbili for 16 incredible seasons 🏆🏅true champ

Manu was not a sixth man even though he came from the bench most of the times. He was top 3 in minutes per game in the Spurs and he was always on court when closing games

He deserves so much credit for his Olympic win. One of the toughest victories in all of basketball.

Started following the spus in 2001 when I was 10, what really got me into the spurs was in 2003 during the finals against the nets and Manu stole the ball and took it coast to coast for a dunk. After that I loved Manu and the spurs

Steven A, Manu wasnt European, he was from Argentina...

From someone who saw the big 3 from beginning to end,..those of you who you never witnessed primed Ginobili will never truly understand just how great he really was. He was a dagger for many teams. Think about who he played against...Kobe, Shaq, Yao, both Wallace (Ben and Rasheed for those who don't know) Stoudemire, Nash, Kidd, Wade, Smith, Iverson, Webb, McGrady, James, the list goes on...

I saw alot of Ginobili living in Austin and when he was on the floor, especially when he was new, it was like the Spurs had 6 players on the court. Opponents couldn't relax...ever! Thanks Manu!

Manu isnt European he is Argentinian which is in south america read a book

He is not European.. Argentina is in South America.. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Parker on a different team and Manu retired this is a sad time to be a Spurs fan losing legends. Manu is definitely going to be in the hall of fame. He changed the game. #legend

Always used to wonder what happens when the big3 retire for spurs and the day has come. All gr8 things come to end. Respect MANU... 🙌🙌

Argentina is not in Europe It’s in South America So he shouldn’t be conceder soft South American and specially Argentinians have balls and hearth I’m not Argentinian but I follow soccer and Argentina has some of the best athletes with lots of hearth, fight and balls

FYI Manu is better then Carmelo Anthony

I'm a french fan of ginobili and the spurs' team. It is a real heartbreaking to see all of them going away (Parker of course, but also Leonard and Ginobili). Definitely the end of an era. But I think they will remain in our heart for having symbolized the ideal team in a team sport : a great coach (thanks to Pop' for having permitted to Parker to play in the French team for great results), a great leader (Duncan is the best power forward who ever played in NBA), and two great partners (Parker and Ginobili) for almost 2 décades. Thanks for all !

He's a legend in his own right. What a time for basketball. Thank you Ginobili

There’s no doubt he’s a hall of famer with his impressive resume before and after he played with the Spurs is something that no other overseas player has ever done in the world of basketball and in the NBA.

Someone should tell SAS that Argentina is NOT in Europe..and while you at it,tell Barkley it's not in Asia either 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

What a great player, and a great man. Thank You Manu, I loved watching you make magic on the court.

The real heart of a champ. We are going to miss you Manu.

Ginobili's 1 Olympic Gold > All 3 of Melo's

The big 3 Spurs (Duncan, Parker, Ginobli) are HOF's

4x time NBA champ, won Olympics Gold, and also Euroleague champion. Wherever he played he was winning,true champ! One of my all time favorite. I am really gonna miss his game!

Lakers fans show our respect. One of the greatest players we ever faced .

It’s crazy that the spurs big 3 era is over... time flies

manu is a top 5 foreign player in nba history

manu was legend he was most elegant player ever!

This guy took down Team USA single handly. Dominated the NBA as a 2guard. One of the GOAT.

TE AMAMOS MANU!! 🇦🇷🏀🧡

QUE LINDO ES ESCUCHAR ESTAS PALABRAS SOBRE MANU, EMBAJADOR DEL DEPORTE ARGENTINO.!!! (Manu, Maradona, Messi, Fangio, Reuteman, Vilas, Sabatini, Monzón y miles mas!!!)

Manu is one of fav. players of all time. Damn i will miss Manu GInobili. im not ready.

Nice tribute and words 4 the great Manu Stephen A., many thx!

They gotta put Manu in the 75th anniversary and they should put Tony Parker too

Damn right, he’s a Hall of Famer!

Manu "Basketball Genius" Ginobili

I keep listening people saying that Manu deserves the first ballot because of his Internationcal Career, that is true, but he is one of the best 6th man ever in the NBA! He is #1 in all Statistics in the Playoffs (when things really matter) for any player coming off the bench... Isn't that worth a first ballot as well!?!?!
