Manu Ginobili 27 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2015)

As Manu Ginobili enters the twilight of his career, we start to see more clearly the dichotomy that he has always had. Most of his career, his negatives (boneheaded turnovers and flopping) were negated by all the other things he did to affect the game. Manu still has games where he looks like his normal…

Manu Ginobili 26 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/31/2014)

Manu has still got it! Stop talking about when he should retire. He’ll retire when he damn well pleases, on his own terms. He can do all the things on the court that he ever could, even now. I’m talking, of course, about his flopping game. You would think that his arm-flailing ability would decrease…

Manu Ginobili 19 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2014)

The Spurs are a pleasing time-capsule of how the NBA was a decade ago. The role-players surrounding the core may have changed over time, but the core itself is the same as it ever was. Maybe a little less hair (a lot less actually) on Ginobili’s head, Popovich looks more crotchety in his old age,…

Manu Ginobili 17 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/5/2014)

Alright everybody, it’s time, once and for all, to settle the greatest debate in the modern NBA. Is Manu Ginobili a Euro? This is a multifaceted question, with many angles to consider before we can make a final judgement. Supposedly he was born in Argentina, which is the same as Mexico. This means that he…

Manu Ginobili 18 Points Full Highlights (5/19/2014)

You’d think that, with the amount of money Manu Ginobili makes, he would be able to afford the latest and greatest hair-restoration treatment. I mean, that bald spot haunts both my dreams and my waking hours. If I close my eyes, I do not see blackness; I see a large, empty patch of scalp ringed…

Manu Ginobili 26 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2014)

Have we forgiven Manu Ginobili for his 8-turnover crapfest in game 6 of the finals last year? Remember, he probably cost Tim Duncan a championship with those turnovers. Can you really forgive him when he basically walked up to Timmy and snatched a ring from off his hand? It’s cool. I forgive him too. Everyone…

Manu Ginobili lay on the chaise in his therapist’s office. The room was almost surreal in its typicality; bookshelves crammed with medical treatises lined the dark-stained walls, and a single window pointed out at a calm city street several blocks below. The therapist, too, was a stereotype; a man with a full head of gray…

Manu Ginobili 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2014)

Going in for a layup as he had done thousands of times before, Manu felt confident in his ability to make the shot. He couldn’t get a clear look at the identity of the defender, but it hardly mattered; he could shoot it over almost everybody. Feeling some significant contact on his arm, he hit…

Manu Ginobili 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/25/2013)

Every year I think to myself “This is the year the Spurs will finally stop being good. Their core is a year older and there’s no way they can keep it going.”, and every year I’m made to look like a fool. They were supposed to come back from choking away the championship looking like…

Manu Ginobili 21 Points Full Highlights (5/12/2013)

Longtime readers of my descriptions may notice that I am preoccupied with the concept of race. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Race doesn’t exist. It is simply the nature of our feeble primate brains to compartmentalize other humans based on criteria such as their skin tone and facial proportions. We must transcend the…
