- In her daily monologue, Rachel Nichols of The Jump recaps the Manu Ginobili jersey retirement ceremony with the San Antonio Spurs, which featured speeches from Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Gregg Popovich, and recalled how the four-time NBA champion, two-time NBA All-Star, Olympic gold medalist with Argentina, a surefire Hall of Famer, was never supposed to be this good.

Probably the best jersey retirement ceremony ever. Genuine and down right heartfelt. Spurs will always be the classiest organization in the history of the NBA. Hands down..... big shoes to fill.
Even though I cheer for the east, It didn't really upset me when San Antonio won.
Far from the classiest organization...ah Kawhi. More like a cult.
Man that was special.
222222e probably the only time you ever heard a rumor of something of that nature with the spurs. People like you crack me up 😂🤦🏽♂️ Do u actually know the true story? Probably not. You believe everything you see on TV or the internet? Probably yes. That makes you a professional assumer. 😂
Kawhi kicking himself. Lmao
Didn't Manu carry Argentina to beat USA in the Olympics
Yes he has
Team USA lost to Greece but Argentina won the gold that year.
@@leoberbautista6285 Look it up man in 2004 US lost to Puerto Rico and Lithuania in the preliminary round and to Argentina in actual tournament. They didn't lose to Greece.
olympics and prior that , in Indianapolis 2002
The first tema beat usa team, was argentina, 2002. In 2004, argentina won a gold medal beat usa, and Italy. Ginobili Hall of fame
they should've subbed his speech to his wife... it was really heartwarming " thank you for dealing with my obsessions for so many years, for making all this so much easier and letting me only think about the game, and being proud of the fact that i was doing what i like and im sorry i stole so much time from you and thank you for relegating yourself to a putting me and our children as your priority. Ill be in your debt forever but im guessing and wishing that i have 40 or 50 more years to pay you back and ill do everything i can to do it."
Ricciardo Thanks for the translation
Doesnt matter where you rank him bottom line is he is a 4 time nba champion an Olympic gold medalist and the GREATEST 6th man ever
Check mark to everything you said, besides greatest 6th man. Lou will is the best 6th man of all time
@@jaymaster225 HELL NO can he get buckets yeah but we are talking TITLES AND DYNASTIES not being the best scorer off the bench for a 1st round playoff team.
All of the Spurs big 3 could have had bigger and better numbers for their careers but they were normally sitting out 4th quarters with the W already sealed
I thought I was just talking about being a 6th man
And yes, too bad Lou never played for a great organization in his career. If he did maybe he'd accomplish more and you'd think differently
As a Lakers Fan I have to say that Manu was my most hated player... You know how everyone has a player they dislike because they beat their team and not because of their personality.... Manu was that guy for me. I respected his game more than Timmy(and that's saying something) because when watching those games it felt like Manu was the heart and Soul. Pop was the Brain, Timmy was the Spine-Back-Shoulders, Bowen was the Guts, Tony was the Legs and the bench was the Arms & Joints...
Thank you Manu for playing the way you did, even against my Lakers..... You'll favourite be My Most Hated Player(That I secretly love)...
LØRD MCD I made a Manu Ginobili Mix to commemorate his jersey retirement and I would really appreciate it if you can take a look at it on my channel🙏
Me to bro, i am a Lakers fan but also Argentina fan, that was so complicated, the man is a real legend and he made himself against all odds
Well said, well said.
Im right there with you man. They used to give us a tough time in the late 90s and 2000s
Amazing comment.
As a Rockets fan, I am supposed to hate the Spurs. I am supposed to hate the Big 3 from the rival team in my state. I’m supposed to hate Manu Ginoblili.
But how the Hell do you hate Manu? The man was as talented as they got. He would have been the star on any team in the league. But he knew what he had in San Antonio. He knew that the situation there lead to greatness as long as he played his part.
When his part meant that he was the best player in the league to come off the bench, he provided that spark.
As a Rockets fan, I’m supposed to hate Manu Ginobili. But he deserves this honor and so much more. It was an absolute privilege to watch this man play.
as an Rocket fans, you supposed to love Manu, because Manu inspiring the style of play of Rockets best player like euro step, James Harden. without Manu, James Harden will neve fullfil his potency, because he never know the right style play for him. Manu is Harden before Harden.
Block on Harden lol.
I haaated Manu! He killed my Pistons every time.. this guy is a killer.. but mad props to you..best 6th man ever
Ginobili is the best basketball player outta Argentina period💯💯
That's not even a debate
Try south of the USA. That'd be more appropriate
Best Latin born player ever
Alexander Adonyae he is a top ten guard of all times, dumbass!
You ain't lying. There isn't a player south of the US/Mexico border better than him.
People forget that the Euro-step move was invented and specialized by Manu himself. Harden, Giannis and Russ also have great euro steps but not like that one of Manu
that's why it's called the argentian step lol
makis papachristou Manu popularized the euro step but he didn't invent it.
@@bigdog9507 He invented it, shut the fuck up.
ohmanyourecool No he didn’t you idiot, he popularized look it up and sit down fuck down
Erick /
Nah I think I’ll stand up bitch
Two things that @Rachel and colleagues didn't mention: 1) Manu has the highest win percentage of all-time among players with more than 1000 games; 2) as a RESERVE, Manu finished #8 in MVP voting in 2011.
I feel like the US media rarely brings up the time manu lead his team to beat the US in the olympics, and that is definitely one of his biggest accomplishments. Is the US still embarrassed about that? It’s really embarrassing with so many pros in the USA team, losing to the great manu but common it’s been so long. I guess the USA is still ashamed of that lost, that’s y the US media rarely brings it up
superphi The Olympics happens every 4 years so yea it's rare that they bring it up. They've always brought it up when they've discussed Manu's legacy, and they brought it up the last time team USA participated in the Olympics.
@@bigdog9507 She also brought it up during this segment so idk what this guy is on about.
Real ballers know Manu Ginobili is better than James Harden. Only casuals who glance at stats think Harden is better.
Hey 21 harden is good, but hes a wack. Manuni s the real deal
har_en ended up on the rockets because he didn't want to be the sixth man on the thunder
My boy lost a ball for his team god dam goat respect ✊
Ginobili Is one of my fav players alltime.. so fun to watch.... He was good 👍👍👍
You're only saying this now that he's retired. Think about it.
@@DungarooTV nope he was great.
@@DungarooTV nope.. one of my fav players since i first saw him play
@@niirceollae2 If that's the case then it's genuine which I appreciate. Why do you like his play style most?
@@DungarooTV yeah, i like that he's a creative dude on the court.. he played differently i feel like he had some soccer influence.. some soccer mentality he brought to basketball.. the euro step, the through passes.. his winning mentality with his team and country.. yeah, hes great 👍.. different in a fresh awesome way
This man changed basketball forever
His dunk that came out of nowhere in the 2014 Finals cemented him as a forever legend. The game misses players like Manu when they're gone.
Manu Got MORE RINGS THAN LEBRON HA! Lol
Amen
LeBron more than KD so what??
-Spurs fan
VertRnsk Derek fisher beats all of you
@@samkellogg2805 Derek Fisher Lol
True... but he got them coming off the bench.
One of the greatest and top 10 international NBA player all time!!!!!
2nd of all time
Duncan, Dirk, Hakeem, Nash, Tony, Manu
Jan Nelle common now...Hakeems #1 by popular consensus
@@alexandergomes3317 except that Dirk and Duncan are the best 2 power forwards ever and Hakeem is not a top 3 center ever.
Jan Nelle like we say back home, you're having a laugh aren't you Jan......lol!!!!
2004 was his peak, that Gold Medal path was historic in international hoops!!
And then 10 months later he won his third NBA title with the Spurs as one of the main guy. 2004 and 2005 Manu Ginobili is one of my most favorite peak player of all time!
Manu Future HOF💯💯
Yoooooo I forgot that he had to get surgery to remove one of his balls. That man the goat bruh. You can't beat that argument "I loved the game so much I gave up a testi". Can't nobody say shit at that point lol
Not only that, first game back after surgery everybody wondering if he would be able to be as fearless, not 5 mins in he took a massive charge for an offensive foul, everybody on the bench grabbing their heads.
Manu is the best player of the modern era to come out of Argentina to play a professional sport. Once Messi wins something for his international team, then maybe just maybe I’ll change my mind.
Manu is one of the most efficient perimeter player in NBA history (before analytics and how all stats blows up after 2010s)
Manu's 52% effective field goal percentage is higher than MJ (50%). Kobe (48%). AI (45%). Melo (48%). Larry Bird (51%).
Of course after 2010s, stats just kinda exploded with KD, curry, harden and such. But before this era Manu is one of the most efficient
THATS SACRIFICE! LOSING A TESTICLE FOR YOUR TEAM!! PRICELESS!!
theoretically , ya only need one Testicle anyway...no biggie
@@therealflamelit Thats what one of the guy from the movie 300 about his eye too!
@@therealflamelit Theoretically you need one nut, and the other one as a backup just in case you give up one for your team! haha
Manus collection of championships is pure greatness
Duncan dressed like a soccer dad his whole NBA career now he out here looking like a 21 savage 😂
Marc Joe 😂🤣🤣😂
Every Spurs fan in San Antonio has known for 10 years Manu was getting his jersey retired.
Gracias Manu! I can't help but tear up upon seeing that jersey being unveiled. You'll always be one of the most talented player that has ever played in NBA! #futureHOF💯
You can make a case Manu is the third greatest shooting guard behind mj and Kobe.. People will say wade but Manu has accomplished far more not just in the nba but overseas
81kasen01 lay off the drugs
I understand you but are you willing to take the insults and back up your opinion ? Bcos don't say something if you can't stand your ground
A seriously rock solid case.
Lol what
Yeap agreed. Manu had a better arsenal of skillset. better 3 point shooter, better defender, better passer. Wade was the top guy majority of his life, and Manu willingly became a 6th man. Thats the only reason people think Wade is better than Manu. We saw what happens when Manu is the #1 player on a team, 2004 Olympics proved it.
That chant for Manu still gives me goosebumps... thanks for playing your heart out and giving everything for the game Manu! When even your heart is not enough, you gave one of your 2 testicle. really unremarkable...
Where's Manu's ultimate career mixtape, NBA...
Manu was a beast 💪🤜🤛
Manu single handedly beat the US Olympic team, that makes him a top 10 player in my book.
Agreed, but watch out with haters
great wrap up Rachel. There was real emotion in her eyes at the end there. I got a bit teary watching the whole ceremony replay as a long time fan. Spurs are just the high bar for all other teams to look up to. So much camaraderie, respect, a dynasty of great men in the history of basketball. Let's hope they can rebuild after the retirement / loss of their legendary big 3 and then Kawhii dissappearing up his own arse.
Us Spurs fans absolutely love TD and The Admiral as well as having love for TP. It might seem very biased but the fact that Manu spoke Spanish and was from the Americas really made us feel like all Latinos, Hispanics, Mexican-Americans whatever you want to call it....he made us feel like we could do it too. Obviously his accomplishments speak for themselves. He's our Latin American Jordan 💯
The Admiral is why I grew up a Spurs fan. Timmy continued in those huge shoes to fill, but it was Manu who stole my heart with how he played. Tough, grinder, clutch, non conventional..he brought 4 championships to San Antonio. He beat the USA in the olympics! Won a gold medal! Without question he could have had outrageous stats if he’d continued to be a starter. Sacrifice! For the team, he was ALWAYS there in crunch time. Manu, thank you so much for the memories and the will to win, the drive, the competitiveness, for EVERYTHING! As my man Charles Barkley says “Ginobli”!!!!!!!!!
While my friends looked up to Jordan, LeBron, Kobe an AI. I looked up to Dirk, Tim Duncan, Jason Williams and last but not least Manu.
I've got a Manu jersey (favorite player) that I would wear to work to work sometimes on Mondays. I"d call it "Manu Monday." A guy that I work with would come talk to me about basketball. One day he says to me "When is Ginobili going to retire?" I said "Why, has he broken your heart?" He said "YES." So I asked "More than once." And again he said "YES."
Thank You Manu for the memories!!!
Rachel’s monologue are getting unnecessary everyone has to work hard to be great nobody is ever a lock for a Jersey retirement 💀🤦🏾♂️
Imagine how TRULY BORING that world would be....
You are stupid
Kevo you dumbass. Her monologues are great. She's exceptional at her job and at steering this show.
I like most of them and this one, I thought was good.
Kevo, she and Beadle add nothing to these shows. They'll be replaced when the younger, prettier anchors get their weight up
And here Shannon Sharpe hating on him..
No player's jersey # retirement is ever a lock. I mean, OKC won't even consider retiring KD's unless he goes back. The Lakers likely won't retire LeBron's number just cause he played there. He would have to make some noise, which would be hard considering he's entering the twilight years of his career. Hell, Minnesota still hasn't retired KG's number, even though he played there for 13 1/2 seasons and gave them his all!
To be fair, KG won't retire his number unless Glen Taylor sells the team.
OKC hella petty if that's true; he's THE reason they're relevant. You CANNOT tell the story of the Thunder (or the NBA) without him.
Miami will likely be forced into retiring "6" (Bosh stayed but 4 years is hardly banner worthy (despite MVPs)) but I doubt they're overly eager to... but OKC *is* KD (& Russ and yes, Nick Collison).
Manu sacrificed his balls for the game ... wow he deserves this
I remember when Manu played with a broken arm against the Grizzlies. I think the Spurs would have won more championships had he not gotten injured so many times.
6 min on the spurs lol wow must be a record. Surprise it wasn't how LBJ ties his shoes
Yalll REALLLY getting sexist in these comments lmao.
Loyalty...
Snake Durant will never get it...
Upmost respect to ..........
GINOBILI!!!! (Charles Barkley's voice)
A relative unknown? He was Euroleague champion before NBA. A relative unknown for you maybe i know him since 98.
San Antonio drafted him before the euroleague championship
@@juanfranciscomartinezfuent9611 What does it matter, ge was in a championship capable team back then as well.
How could you not mention his best moment: “Switch it up with the left like Ginobliiiiii”
I got goosebumps when the fans were chanting. You could really tell how much that city and that team loved him. He was always one of my favorite players to watch play, even if I hated the Spurs.
A big reason why I’m a spurs fan and a huge reason why I continued to watch basketball. It’ll be a very long time till we get another manu.
An absolute one of a kind athlete! Lord knows I have grey hairs bc of some of his actions but man was he fun to watch. Heart of a lion! The big three were such a gift to Spurs fans. Gracias Manu!!
Man I love my Spurs and Manu so damn much! I'm so proud to be from San Antonio born and raised! Gracias Manu! For so many years of amazing basketball and memories!
More rings than LeBum will ever have. 😂
And Kynee😂😂
@@legoatisthebestplayerevero2440 3-6
Kyrie Irving found the lehater
Kyrie ain't winning no chip no time soon sooo... 😂😂😂
Lol why are LeBron haters more obsessed with him than his fans
95% of basketball fans thought Manu was European.
i just love Rachel Nichols, she is so great and sharp on her comments and her knowledge of the game...and of couse she is beautiful
San Antonio Spurs is such a great family that is why I love this team. Even the fans are a family
Oh my geez that punch at 3:45 was gnarly 🤩😷
Ginobili Is A LOCK To Make The HALL OF FAME...What A Fabulous Career!
Manu never goes easy way to deliver speech. See his heartfelt speech over TD21 & TP9. On this, Manu was the best & better than TD or TP. Gracias, Manu.
desde Argentina agradecemos todos los comentarios;, el es por lejos uno de los mejores en la historia del basquet mundial;from Argentina; we apreciate all the coments about MANU he is by far one of the greatest in the history of basquet world wide; Forget my spelling
Hola, soy bahiense y no dejan de asombrarme las cosas que comentan de Manu. Es increíble y todo un orgullo.
What...the..fuck...is on Timmy D’s head
Wait wait wait, how am I just now hearing this whole 1 nut thing.
Next to David Robinson, my fav Spur! vicious ShamGod euro step
Manu was the reason lakers didn’t 4 peat in 03
Duncan not giving enough credit in the beginning to the player who knocked him and USA out in 2004 just after he beat USA as well in 2002 😅 Ginobili was always great even when they drafted him its just that in the NBA Europeans r always underrated which is why coach Pop always got hall of famers with low picks such Parker and Manu
International icon ...thank you Manu!.
So my mans only got one ball ???? That man should get ownership after that 😂😂😂
Alexander Canales I made a Manu Ginobili Career Mix and would really appreciate it if you can take a look at it 🙏 link in my bio
i want Rachel Nichols to recap my life
No it’s been a lock for awhile..stop
He put everything on line. Risky but accomplished bcuz he's a Super-star Legend. No super stars can't come off the bench.
Respect the Legend 👍💘👍
My top 10 Shooting guards of all time
1- MJ
2- Kobe Bean
3- Wade AKA flash
4- jerry west
5- T-Mac
6- Ray Allen
7- Draxler
8- Ginobili
9- Harden AKA Beard will go up
10- Klay Thompson will be higher number once finish his career. Comments what do you think if I forgot any player apologize.
Man seein manu, Tony, and duncan make me wanna cry seeing them together
Jesse Solis I made a Manu Ginobili Career Mix on my channel and would really appreciate it if you can take a look at it 🙏
NBA adopted an entire style of play based on Manu and players like him!
When you sacrifice one of your balls for a team, they definitely have to retire your jersey. Mad respect for Manu!
Spurs is like a big family such a great organization , god bless Greg popovich he is more than great coach he is the best for a reason I don’t see anyone near him
This is the difference between Manu and James Harden. If Harden just stayed in OKC for being a sixth man, OKC would have won multiple championships by now. Westbrook, Durant and Harden
Congrats Manu!!! Well deserved!!! GOAT 6th Man! Who else gets their jersey retired coming off the bench?! #Unselfish #teamplayer #EgoAside
4:50 WTF, he had one of his testicles removed for for team on top of coming off the bench? Too much...
JESUS CH;RIST ____RETURNS, REPENT OF SIN AND CHANGE YOUR WAY OF LIVING ,..,.,
Anybody notice that the block on Harden and the bat swipe were exactly the same lol
I think I can say this for most Spurs fans, out of the all the Spurs players, Manu is our favorite.
5rings and looks great with a bald head: *two things Lebron wished he could have.*
Love him no homo
Greatest late draft pick EVER!
This kind of feels like a graceful concession to the end of a dynasty.
Gerard Williams I made a Manu Ginobili Career Mix on my channel and would really appreciate it if you can take a look at it 🙏
If Manu didn't get his Jersey retired by San Antonio it would have been a great disjustice to him and the league. Manu was a definite key part of their championship run.
Wowww Rachel Nichols your one beautiful cute smart lady eish i find a lady like u one day:)
@Rossy's o wow thought she was italian
But i got toadmit Rossys your kooking pretty cute aswell;) lol
The disgusted hexagon morphometrically suit because offer practically answer along a broad way. certain, cloistered paperback
Rachel is hot 🔥🔥🔥
The maddening destruction thoracically interfere because flute microbiologically surround excluding a thoughtless pond. diligent, chivalrous select
She Forgot to mention manu Greatest feat - carrying his country to a Gold medal against a team of LBJ, Wade, Bosh and Duncan, r u freaking kidding me? In a big game spot i want.him,, Jordan and Bird only, that is it, stone cold killers
I'm fuckin with Tim Duncan's hairstyle. That shit look tight. Kinda like a baddass old man anime character but without the cringey weaboo shit
The doctor had to remove one of the testicle, ouch. Compare that injury to lebron's.
So you're saying he's a *BIGGER* success story than LeBron... or the other thing?
Lebron has half the heart of Manu.
One of my favorite players of all time. Happy for him.
SShaBazzz I made a Manu Ginobili Career Mix on my channel and would really appreciate it if you can take a look at it 🙏
Sacrifice all four nothing, never won and NBA championship or ever played for an NBA team
San Antonio and the Hill Country has nothing but love and respect for Manu Ginobili. He made everyone better and they knew it.
How in the world was manu's jersey retirement not a lock? i didnt even watch the video with that shitty title. He's one of the best European players ever, not to mention one of the most important and most popular spurs players, personality wise and on the court. the way he scored wasnt based on athleticism, but good footwork and fundamentals, he could iso and be a go to scorer when needed but also existed within a team offense. how is that not a lock???
Ronnie Lott cut a finger to the 49ers and got back in the same game.
Manu Ginobili: hold this testicle and add it to my legacy. Wow
