NBA Legends Explain Why Manu Ginobili Was A Monster

[Applause] that was some nasty now that was beyond nasty that was filthy play with a la hey guys this is Dominique Wilkins this is sh this is G hey this is b n fans what’s up this is Vince Carter here hey what’s up this is Matt bars if

You’re an old school NBA fan like I am make sure you check out the basketball time machine with my man sea Davis hey guys good day to y’all how’s it going my name is Shawn David and I welcome you back to the basketball time machine your NBA old school show in

Today’s episode I want to for the first time take a look at NBA legends talking about Mono Joby a player that even we old school fans and even though he has retired for a couple of years I have the feeling that yeah we got to give this

Guy a little bit more respect because he was one of the purest basketball players of the 2000s so in this video we’re going to take a look at NBA legends talking about Manu but before we start with that let me ask you guys for a small favor if you’re new to the show

Please subscribe to the channel and like the video if you enjoy the content all right you guys let’s go for It another first players opinion that I want to take a look at is from Dirk I and Tim Duncan obviously a former teammate two players that had yeah quite a few not only Runnings because I know that monu was not easy in practice but also had good relationships with Manu

Jobish he was doing all the little things when the game was on the line he was there making big shots here’s jobi for three making big plays on both ends of the floor SPI there’s the buer this ball game is over you have no choice but to enjoy

Playing with someone like that someone who has such a high basketball IQ has such a high competitive nature who’s out there just to win feeds it to Tim with the buzzer packed it in and the next player’s opinion that I want to take a look at is from Scotty

Pippen a player who just like mono goob also had to sacrifice a lot during his NBA days so let’s take a look what Scotty has to say on the jump Scotty I saw your face over there he sacrificed for this team oh my God that’s a sacrifice sacrifice might have been too

Much he gave up a lot right he also gave up that starter’s role yes also I mean he was a starter on the team he was he was not on the on the border he was definitely starter level can you imagine them coming to you and saying oh we

Actually just think you’ll give us a little more Off the Bench you know what that just goes to tell you that the game is bigger than any individual and him using this as an example coming off Off the Bench sacrificing not being an allar for years uh just giving up that

Superstar role completely and sacrificing for the benefit of the San Antonio Spurs the Championships that they’ve won um you know when you win good things come out of it and this is a prime example of a guy that believed in his list is his list you’re the most

Exciting European player that I’ve seen period so forget his list period or just in terms of the most exciting even uh the most exciting about pic the most the most exciting pic could score but he wouldn’t uhuh uh-uh the most excited who you seen dunk like this man here uh on

Somebody has a at 20% but that’s hot garbage isn’t it Jaylen uh because he is for sure going into the Hall of Fame isn’t he and a lot of people take for granted this the Basketball Hall of Fame so it’s the totality of everything he’s accomplished in particular his

International EXP experience so I definitely based on that Bel he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame would you if you had to name best six man over the over the course of the years where would you put him he’s in the conversation um Jamal Crawford has won the award three

Times Manu job has been in a different position because pops keeps the minutes down during the regular season you know this better than anyone but at the moments where he’s come up big it made me write down a couple and I wanted to recall as a Spurs fan it what you think

Of or what you were doing when these plays happen oh wow how about in 2005 okay game seven Detroit Pistons Manu scored 11 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter you remember that yep yep yep go on okay what about what about the block on James Harden that was a because every

You know he’s old man Joby people didn’t think he still had it in him and he still had it in him what about the dunk on Chris Bosch uh that’s just a mismatch and size that makes everybody root for the underdog so of course yeah game winner against the Golden State Warriors

2013 Western Conference playoffs do you have my favorite one on there I mean it’s basically the whole game but it’s 2014 game five that was the one where I think I lost my mind in a by the way 100% sober lost my mind I had never been

So excited to see anything in my entire life this game you know this Spurs team was fueled that year off of the bad taste left in their mouth from the year before and the Royale in three and everything that went down there and then this it is just we watch this guy look

There yep I’m I’m literally losing my I was not lying about that um he I feel like he entered San Antonio almost as if he was already a vet leader he leaves as one of the all-time fan favorites he’s established such a great place for himself in that Community I they it’s

Hard to name guys that they’ve loved more he is definitely on that short list of guys that fans have genuinely cared for the course of his career and I’m stoked they’ve added the Argentine player nanu look at this Joby I’m anxious to see what the guys we’

Added can do Manu chob supposedly he’s he’s a great find he’s he’s the best play in Europe supposedly Mano he was an uncommon competitor you know when when he arrived and already very accomplished you may recall him from this past summer and he led the argentinan national basketball team at

The World Basketball Championships to beat the USA everybody knew who Manu was he was the best player overseas so I was just excited to get him here I said Timmy you’re going to really like this guy yeah we’ll see we’ll see he walks up to

Me he’s like hey M job I’m with the Spurs no you’re not I assumed he was another one of the experiments yeah that I would never beet Manu what did you just tell him to do and what did I tell the team we’re in to start the quarter that’s that’s your problem

Remember first year you were here when we practice you’d have to play against Bruce a lot and Bruce used to beat the absolute crap out of you that’s where I kind of started believing or started seeing that he had something that he was he was as good as

Advertised not that I didn’t understand it but it frustrated me like saying what the heck he my teammate yeah so he challenged me and it was it was funny it made me better some point in that first year I said why do you do that why what are you

What are you he goes my a mod this is what I do and from that day on we pretty much let him do what he does keep shooting keep shooting it keep shooting it follow through follow through be brave be aggressive so he taught me to be a

Little bit more patient to widen my Horizons think out of the box a little bit more uh and it was great we went through so many things in so many years always being old it seems like everybody always call US Vets but I think we always competed with class but

It’s hard to tell what what I’ll remember besides the situation so unique before so many years with the same coach and all that and I think that togetherness uh is what I’ll remember doesn’t necessarily capture his impact he was only twice an All-Star never averaged 20 points highest he ever

Got was third Team all NBA but a crucial part of four championship teams who played a style that no one has replicated well if if you add in obviously Matt we talk about his International experience with the Hall of Fame takes into account uh mon job

For sure a Hall of Famer but it’s the role that Manu played and accepted in San Antonio that’s you one of the more spectacular Parts about his career to have that kind of production for that long and to be that consistent El contusion as as I I called him back in

San Antonio uh deserving of a Hall of Fame induction and certainly deserving Matt of all the praise from all the players over the past couple of days who’ve reached out via social media and let Manu know just how much of an inspiration as a player he was how much

Of a pleasure was to compete against him but you saw a lot of international younger players say you’re the reason why I dreamt that it was possible for me to have the opportunity to play in the NBA you know the thing with mono Gooby

Is and I got to be honest to you guys it took me a while to really appreciate him because obviously I lost I don’t want to say I lost interest in the NBA after the 2000s but it got less and less over the years and because he played in an era

Where basketball became more the game that it is nowadays I had it took me a while to appreciate the few guys that still play basketball the right way there was a Tim Duncan there was a mono job there was a DK novitzki there were still guys that I

Could really appreciate but it took me a while and I got to be honest mon job to me is one of the greatest players of the 2000s and even though I don’t believe that he would ever have been a super super superstar the guy had a phenomenal game

He had a huge back he played really competitive he wanted to win he was a team player he sacrificed a lot and if you like basketball pure basketball you got to give the guy respect so this is what I wanted to do in this episode let

Me know in the comments below how you think about Mono Gooby and hopefully I’ll see you next time on the basketball time machine
