When Manu Ginobili enters the Hall of Fame on Saturday, he won't go in as the highest point-scorer, or with the most All-Star selections to his name, or with many other statistical accolades that jump out on paper.But trying to quantify him in the same way that we do other superstars is a fool's errand.There has never been a superstar that has fit le s into Kyle Allen Jersey a box than Ginobili. His longtime Spurs teammate, Tony Parker, recounted during Ginobili's jersey retirement ceremony that it took the team some time to figure that out, too." Spurs coach Gregg Popovich would look at me, like, 'Tony, run the play.' I'm like, 'Nobody can control Manu. Manu's gonna be Manu,'" Parker said. "Pop figured out, 'We'll let Manu be Manu.' He had unbelievable year after unbelievable year."To understand Ginobili's greatne s is to appreciate how unique he was to the sport, both on and off the court. His fluidity and creativity were unrivaled.Ginobili's signature move, the Eurostep, wasn't invented by him, but he did make it widespread at every level of basketball. Players spend years perfecting it. For Ginobili, it came easily."For me, the Eurostep was so natural and so automatic," Ginobili said last Jonathan Allen Jersey year on . "But then I started to hear people talk about how unique it was, that I looked like a squirrel going between cars."Where did it come from? No clue. I just played the way I could to survive in this harsh environment of super athletes."That unpredictability and improvisation made Ginobili an extremely tough cover. You never knew what was coming. Draymond Green the hardest player he's ever had to guard. and agreed.Ginobili saw the game at different speeds and angles than anyone else on the court. A Billy Kilmer Jersey gap that other players wouldn't consider attacking was an automatic opening for him to slither through.And pa sing lanes were identified long before he had the ball in his hands.Ginobili wasn't an All-Defensive stopper, but he did hold his own and showed up in the biggest moments.Perhaps his signature play was his game-saving block of a James Harden 3-pointer, which helped the Spurs earn a 3-2 lead in Game 5 of the 2017 Western Conference Semifinals.More than anything, though, Ginobili was a winner. that his 72.1 winning percentage was the highest in NBA history among players with at least 1,000 games played. The Spurs outscored opponents by 5,468 points when he was on the floor, which isthe sixth-highest total in NBA history.Ginobili's crowning achievements were his four NBA titles, a EuroLeague championship and a gold medal for Argentina in the 2004 Olympics. That group defeated a heavily-favored Team USA. He's one of only two players in history with wins at all three of those levels.Off the court, Ginobili's personality is also unique among his fellow Hall of Famers. His selfle sne s in coming off the bench to make the Spurs better Casey Toohill Jersey is unrivaled. That's not generally a path to the Hall Kevin McHale, Bill Walton and Toni Kukoc are the only other Sixth Man of the Year award winners to be enshrined.Ginobili had one of the smallest egos of any star player. Just like his game, he has surprised many with Sammis Reyes Jersey how well-rounded he is.As he told Hutchins, he was one of three minivan dads during his time in the NBA, eschewing fancy cars or other luxury goods to drive a practical car for his twin babies and that vehicle is still rolling over a decade later.He proudly collects credit card points. He is well-read, counting academic books like "Thinking, Fast and Slow" and "Sapiens" among his favorites. He's also the only NBA player to or during a game.NBA players are endle sly compared to others, whether it be to past greats or future prospects. And signature moves, like the Eurostep or stepback jumper, are widely imitated.But there will never be another Manu Ginobili. Now, the Hall of Fame will preserve that legacy forever.
