If Manu counts as a role player, then it’s him. GOAT 6th Man

Who is on row 1 place 2? Everyone else I recognize.

There is only one answer: Emanuel David “Manu” Ginóbili.

Stak: Was called “the ultimate teammate” by Tim Duncan, arguably the 2003 title is not achieved without his performance
Robert Horry: An argument can also be made that the 2005 title is not achieved with his performance
Manu: A very convincing argument can be made for his sixth man role in his later seasons, notably turned down opportunities to start elsewhere
Danny Green: Was arguably nearly the finals MVP, broke the most 3pt made in a finals game record set by Ray Allen at the time
Steve Kerr: Fresh off the Bull threepeat, Kerr contributed to the 1999 and 2003 title teams
Patty Mills: Shot the lights out during the “Beautiful Game” title run

Bruce Bowen

Manu was a star, not a role player
Its Bowen.

We have had some great ones with Bruce Bowen, Boris Diaw, Danny Green, but the only correct answer is Manu. Dude could have started for any team in the league during his career and came off the bench for us to lead the second squad. Not a word about it, just made it work.

Gotta toss out my favorite Spur Patty Mills. Absolute force with the bench mob his first few years with the Spurs and then he had some serious daggers against the heat for the championship. After that over time he became the longest tenured spur and a bridge bringing Spurs culture to the next generation. Probably better role players stat wise but Patty’s leadership and good vibes had an immeasurable impact IMO.
Edit: also Manu was not a role player, that’s disrespectful

Robert Horry. Spurs owe him two rings :
1. That clutch 3 versus the Pistons in Game 5 of 2005 NBA Finals
2. The hip check he gave Steve Nash during the 2007 NBA playoffs. That caused suspension to multiple Suns players, giving the Spurs advantage. From Big Shot Rob to Cheap Shot Rob

Let’s make a case for Boris Diaw. He was the best “glue guy” to ever wear the silver and black, knew his role and executed it perfectly, and was just a cool dude.
Not going to be mad if Danny, Bruce, or Patty get love. I don’t think Manu counts, as his role was central to the teams dynasty run.

Bruce was the prototypical 3 and D player before the 3&D label even existed. He and pop really created that role.
Bruce took the job of guarding the other team’s best player every night and consistently impacted their numbers. It was all tenacious, sometimes dirty, non stop intensity. As he said “I’m not a Kobe stopper, I’m a Kobe botherer”
His shooting spaced the floor for the big 3 for so many years. BRUUUUUUUUUCE!!!!

I don’t think they should win, just want to throw love to Brent Barry, Malik Rose, and Matt Bonner

I’m gonna say Boris Diaw. He was really a key part in the beautiful game spurs.

I am more on the side that thinks Manu was a star, not a role player. If opponents plan their defense according to you, you are not a role player imo.
Spurs history is filled with great role players. Bowen, Diaw, Kerr, Patty, Green, Horry, Stephen Jackson – pick your pick there is no wrong answer. I’ll throw in Rodman just to stir the pot. Even Gary Neal and Jonathon Simmons played their roles perfectly.

Malik Rose. Always undersized, but never backed down.

What about Rodman? All dude did was play his role and rebound like mad.

Bruce Bowen, hands down. No other way to call this one.
