Manu Ginobili is the best publish season bench participant of all time

I noticed this posted on social media.

“Manu Ginobili is the all-time chief in PTS, REB, AST, STL, FGM, 3PM, & FTM off the bench in NBA playoff historical past.”

It is smart. With 218 playoff video games, 165 coming off the bench, Ginobili had extra alternatives than most.

However let that sink in. Within the historical past of the NBA — a virtually eight decade enterprise — one single participant accrued essentially the most in seven distinct classes as a reserve.

Manu is among the most revered gamers to ever play the sport. His drafting elevated scouting to a world degree, his aggressive nature turned a template for a era of gamers, and his positivity illuminated the NBA throughout an period steeped in unhealthy attitudes and posturing.

If he had solely launched the Europe step after which light into obscurity, Manu would have left an indelible impression on the league. However what he did far surpassed and left one of the vital memorable and lovable males to ever put on the Silver & Black.
