If Ginobili was a Celtic he would be lauded as the epitome of what Celtics basketball is about, while the basketball world was swooning over Shaq and Kobe, this man was the complete antithesis of those two...he was poetry in motion, unselfish and willing to play off the bench his entire career when he could easily been able to contend for a scoring title on another team.

*Interesting note the Youtube channel that made the short tribute has great Celtic videos too and definitely worth a watch:

TP. My favorite player.
I always smile when I see him, such a joy to watch as a player/person/jokester.

Hunch: he still plays next year.

That was awesome. Manu never gets enough credit - ultimate self sacrifice for team success guy. If he'd been a Clipper or whatever for the majority of his career his numbers would be awesome

Is there a more underrated player in the NBA over the last 20 years than Manu? I don't think so.

Can't think of anyone either. His prime (27-33) was awesome. Efficient, flashy, reliable, and amazing to watch. Could do it all
