Manu is an icon in home country of Argentina and it's for good reason. He is an absolute killer on the court and he does it in so many ways. Ginobili can take it to the rack with authority or stroke a long trey with a man in his face. He can also pass to the open man and play solid defense. Ginobili has helped the San Antonio Spurs win multiple NBA championships since he entered the Association in 2002.
