Manu Ginobili and his 1,2 Step

[TheTonecity]

3 x nba champion!!

[NYK107]

hate when the top comments are the same

[foureleven86]

Hall of Fame for sure!!! One of the all around craftiest players in his era!!!

[xMetallicAPanterAx]

future HOF! no doubt bout it.

[blackjewelz11]

you can't say boring without the RING!

[cbmhs09]

He was 2nd round 28th pick..he is better than most 1st round draft pick. whoever chose him during the 99 draft is a GENIUS! as charles barkley would say GINOOOOOOBILI!!!!! :)

[vishyvikranth]

@cbmhs09 correction: 2nd round 57th pick thats right second from last :P but manu was a young international 2-guard and is the first international guard with the athletic skills of american players. Before him most of the international guards were very smart but mostly spot up jump shooters. Now combine the smarts, athletic prowess, competitive fire of a MJ / kobe and the creativity of a Kidd/ Nash and what you get is Manu Ginobili :)

[cbmhs09]

@vishyvikranth haha thanks for the correction!

[13640]

Oh Manu, the magician!

[TheTonecity]

respresent 4 da tone baby@!!

[mrhotdog119]

The Spurs, with the most steals in the last season

[doomheart1234]

All hail, Manu Ginobili.

[sainttucuman]

Made in Argentina!

[rem250288]

The man played the playoffs with a broken arm, big ups to manu!

[gryphus001]

Lebron's 1,2,3 step is way more effective

[xxVRJJxx]

@gryphus001 travel much? lol

[gryphus001]

@xxVRJJxx it would be funny if lebron talking about 2 step

[xxVRJJxx]

this guy does his behind the back so perfect! im working on it and pretty much crossing people out at my local park haha

its not much perfected though not as Ginobili one.

[Basket360]

@xxVRJJxx ok mate, no1 cares

[xxVRJJxx]

@Basket360 ok mate, STFU!!!

[gibbylupefiascofan]

coaches always tell you that when you use the backboard, you have to use the square, ginobili NEVER uses the square and the dam ball always finds a way to go in, ginobili is the fucking best! lol

[jungle10ful]

he'slike the White Dwyane wade. lol. Truly fun to watch.

[TaylorAA23]

@jungle10ful hes not white :)

[xaviqaz]

@TaylorAA23 He is of european descent, like the vast majority of argentinians

[ShiningNow]

@TaylorAA23 He is white, just like most Argentines.

[Dottorass]

0:27 is Vince McMahon from WWE?

[StandAloneState]

LOL at 1:28 the guy in the stands doing the traveling motion

[gibbylupefiascofan]

@StandAloneState LMAO

[joshuadayn]

thats a smoove move

[dorot222]

Manu got the crazy skillz and moves but more than anything he got hall of fame credentials. A guy who will throw his body around to get a win for his team...

[AirOnReadyForLaunch]

I love the choice in music for this video Lol.

[bfahren]

1, 2 FLOP!

[maciscool34]

They should make a video called

LeBron and his 1 , 2 , 3 step

[SAtownZ28]

@maciscool34 lol 1,2,3 step. more like 1,2,3,4,5,6 step.

[maciscool34]

@SAtownZ28 hahahaha I guess 6 steps is 2 Crab steps hahaha .

[heinels82]

[steelvejito]

[richbruiser]

@steelvejito Argentina is not in Europe.

[happensq]

luul manu the magician, fits him soooo much

[ilovethisgame48]

is it just me, or did all them baskets look like a regular layup..

[SAtownZ28]

@ilovethisgame48 the vid wasnt about his finishes but about how he is able to get around defenders with his eurostep.

[BlackTrish1594]

The most underrated player in the NBA

[sniperrifle9]

what a MANU-VER

Hahaha!! good one

[howardchowheiwo]

Purely amazing.

[madafaker0ne]

[Gerdrako20]

[fran021184]

Argentine talent..

[duncan215009]

@RunOverFatLady

friggin funny shit

[killzone21]

Manu is beyond amazing! Any team that has him playing is certainly not boring!

[TheZmann16]

at his age i dont care theres no way you can get from the 3 line to the basket in just two steps. traveling most every time

[Marine4Life51]

lol what would Channing Frye be doing guarding Ginobili...

[somuch4freedom]

It's soo annoying when u hear people say the Spurs are boring. Usually people who say that are the young generation, around 18 years old, because all they grew up with was highlights and espn top plays so they don't truly APPERCIATE great TEAM basketball.....Ginobili is an amazing passer and when u see him drop 48 points against the suns while getting his teammates involved with behind the back passes it just doesn't get any better....oh yea and his thunderous dunk.....look it up.

[MDmiller31]

@somuch4freedom ...Hey im 18 and the spurs have been my favorite team for over a decade. Thank you for pointing out their great TEAM basketball!! Thank you for arguing in favor of them that theyre not boring. I know what you mean that people constantly say their boring cause theyre just used to watching showtime basketball. I love Tim Duncan's fundamental play, all the way back to the adirmal gettin it done. The Spurs are a solid team that gets it done!!

[sinceninety3]

@somuch4freedom im 17 man n i live in L.A. PROLLY THE HARDEST PLACE TO B A SPURS FAN BUT I LOVE WATCHING MANU DAY IN DAY OUT TRULLY I THINK HES BETTER THAN KOBE.ITS GOOD TO BE BORING WHEN U WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS 4 IN 9 YEARS.

[5atansAngel]

@somuch4freedom Doesnt apply to everyone. Im 18 and i HATE NBA top 10 videos... Theyr so borring. Like you, i want to see the team aspect of the game. I want to see good offensive execution and defensive stops and the Spurs do both very well. I love their offensive execution... they never just iso and get whatever shot they can

[ExtremeEnigma28]

@somuch4freedom All about da spurs!!!!

[swaggbeezy22]

@somuch4freedom bullshit

[Whit3B0ySwagg]

@somuch4freedom alot of people dont understand how good ginobili is, come on how the hell did the spurs get him, 2nd round 28th pick, i bet all the other teams that year was like WTF!

[regysk8islife]

@somuch4freedom

spurs need younger players, tony parker is boring play, jefferson is over, duncan also, mcdyess quit his career..Gary Neal,George Hill,Dejuan Blair,Manu they are the players that spurs need and also they need some other young players now spurs arent gonna be "the best " team in the nba like they were these other years i think they're gonna need cuople years to get some new younger players

[somuch4freedom]

@regysk8islife i agree with everything you just said, except for your statement that Parker is boring play.....like are you insane? he's the best finishing pg in the nba.

[regysk8islife]

@somuch4freedom

Well i see what you mean but what i wanted to say that he is not bad play parker is good play but when you se plays like Rose,Rondo,Cp3,Kidd,Westbrook parker is like in the shadow he isn't atractive on his plays. :)

[somuch4freedom]

@regysk8islife yea, i would only put derrick rose ahead of him in terms of finishing, but parker just makes impossible layups that everybody on that list can't 

[oyitsroy]

@somuch4freedom funny how you talk about one guy on your team dominating and talk about great team basketball at the same time. if you want real great exciting team basketball, take a look at the memphis grizzlies right now. hope you didnt miss out on that.

love from,

the young generation

[somuch4freedom]

@oyitsroy yea whats also funny is how when you walk into the at&t center you see 4 championship trophies, when you walk in the fedex forum you see ZERO. Again, TEAM basketball wins you championships, that's why the spurs organization is a model franchise for any pro sports team.

love from,

4 TIME CHAMPIONS

[TheTonecity]

@oyitsroy u fuckin suck!

[gibbylupefiascofan]

@somuch4freedom i remember watching that game back in 05, hes amazing, i guess more team should be more boring instead of flashy and they might win some games, make the playoffs and actually win a championship.

[GiantsRCk8]

15 people are suns fans

[MrKoocumber]

@GiantsRCk8 LOL. guess who swept them in the conference finals last year.....

[Rolo1979]

Your fucking mother is european, Ginobili is south american.

[CrazySicily]

@Rolo1979 - your fuckin family is south american, Manu is of Italian decent but born and raised in argentina just like 30 million of argentina's population! how is he south american, is he a fuckin native indian?? he is of european decent but just lived his life in s. america.

Italians love manu ginobili!

[Pok3rcito]

@CrazySicily

manu was born and raised in argentina so it doesnt matter wher did his fuckin grandparents lived!

[flort13]

@CrazySicily you're such a retard.....manu is southamerican just like every person who was born in Argentina....Argentina recieved a masive inmigracion wave from europe not only Italy but also Spain, Germany, Poland...but that doesn't matter, if you are born in Argentina you are southamerican... my grandparent was italian, am I an european?? NOOOO, because I was born and raised in Argentina...

[flort13]

@CrazySicily Have a little respect for the Southamericans, for the Argentinians, because Argentinians fed your people, ships were sent to italy with food when your people was starving and eating dirt, we give them a place to live when in Italy they couldn't have a decent living. You forget quickly, we don't . Especially the ones who are like me because it was in this soil were my grandfather found the oportunity to have a prosper life.

So fuck you and all the italians that have no memory!

[CrazySicily]

@flort13 - who said i didnt have respect for argentines u cunt?? and if u consider urself argentine thats fine but it doesnt change the fact that u r european and italian decent. ur not a fuckin south american native indian. so stop talkin out of ur ass..im 3rd generation italian and i still say im italian not american even tho i am american i still love and respect my heritage..so basicaly yes manu is south american by birth but he is still italian by blood.

[flort13]

@CrazySicily european by blood? well I wouldn't call it that way. From where our grandparents or great grandparent came from doesn't matter... we were born here in Argentina we were raised here, so even though we respect our grandparents roots, we ARE southamericans that is out of the question

We are european to you only when it comes to argue from where comes the talent of our sportmen but for everything else we are as you call us "sudacas", so stop being an hypocrit bastard and shut up

[CrazySicily]

@flort13 Italians from italy dont consider me italian either and call people like me bad names too. So what? Im still 100% italian my blood line didnt change just cause im a few generations removed from my homeland...durin the world cup I still root for Italia and when i have 4th generation kids they will know to speak italian..and ur only a s. american by birth and maybe culture cause u dont care about bein italian, but ur still italian no matter what u cant hide it.

[flort13]

@CrazySicily If that's the way you think then I'm italian, spanish and polish jajaj you're on crack.

I'm Argentinian and you are an american with italian roots but you still are an american, and if I know how to speak italian is because I went to an italian school here in the Dante Alighieri they teached us italian since kindergarden but the mayority of argentinians that have italians root don't speak a word of italian..so no, we don't feel they way you do we are southamericans

[lauraortiz18]

@CrazySicily If I would have born in the US i would be the same way. I would say im whatever BUT american... As for us, Argentines, we love our country and culture and are very proud of who we are. Not like everyone in the US.

[MrDryv3n]

the first move he did is so easy and so simple that defenders get easily crossed becuz they to damn close to manu

[starwarsnspiderman30]

greatest steal in nba history with tony parker

[harlemking12]

NBA. Where traveling Happens.

[EinsteinTDuncanHHH1]

@harlemking12 It's sad how every time the Spurs win something, everyone else thinks that they cheated. I honestly find it a travesty how everyone is SO prejudiced against the Spurs. Just acknowledge it. We can win championships, too, and we have as good a roster as everyone else.

[johnyv47]

Frye look like obama

[ephinem]

1:15 travel

[rjude007]

he is the man

[gamoto96]

tbh i fucking hate him but fuck hes good...

[xTremeLiizyCle]

epic cover-music :)

[Spursman99030507]

GINOBILI!!!!!!!!

[lieko20]

spectacular move by Ginobili in 1:12 super like!

again another spectacular move by Manu in 1:51

what a Manu-ver

[yellowkiwi8]

beastly.

[BertinaPatzer1930]

@NBA The pointguard on my team is 5'9 and dunking - Sweet right? I'm not kidding, check this out "50-inch-vertical(dot)com"

[mufey18]

haha. i just love manu ginobili; way back when i was still in high school, up to now that i'm thru with college and already working. don't care if he's getting old, he still has that "Euro Step". :) Go Spurs!

[FaNaTiKblok19a]

16 idiots!

[justdaman]

@FaNaTiKblok19a and your comment makes you the 16th?

[blakka91]

i luv these videos..where other players talk about one player.....

[sanetoday]

my favorite spur player.

[tinche01]

MADE IN ARGENTINA!

[RatherHood]

Does somebody know that his real name is "Emanuel" ?? Manu is a nick name, I don't know why they use his nick name everywhere, even in the NBA website...

[mothamillionaire]

@RatherHood it's like tony parker his real name is anthony... or tim duncan timothy duncan or so many players in the league who use their nicknames

[fizwidget101]

@RatherHood they used emanuel his rookie year then everyone just called him manu

[jtbep]

@RatherHood Like Nené Hilario, whose name is not Nené.

[MrHamham19]

"I JUST PLAY BASKETBALL THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO"

[aznlilhero]

that is some fancy footwork

[ThatDubanBLC]

Coppers at 1:25

[Intenzeballer]

kobe and manu are the best players in the NBA

[JUNKHEAD224]

haha look at the dumbass mavs fans calling for a travel at 1:28. i guess id be as frustrated as they are if my championship run fell short to my arch rival almost every year.

[Maidenhead1996]

I don't like the Spurs, but Manu is the man with his plays.

Tim Duncan is a legend tho.

[Bo0sWorld]

MMAANU IIS BBBEEAAAATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kutkovsky]

hall of famer :*

[anomolis]

he is traveling on every play lol

[RatherHood]

@anomolis He doesn't travel, it's the slow motion effect, take a look again and you'll see...besides, lots of players travel in the NBA, such as Kobe Bryant or Paul Pierce, LeBron James,Amare Stoudemire... I don't know why nobody realises...

[anomolis]

@RatherHood oh i know what u mean. alot of players seem to travel when they go to layup. forexample when he bumps into other players then takes another step before he jumps. watch

[S69NER]

askarana must be a laker fan

GO SPURS!!

[lilHippo]

@S69NER the State of Arkansa must be spur fans also ... they have no team

[jounin9988]

why do they call it the european step?

[OndrausCissell]

He has been an all-star even though no one has voted for him... The video does not lie! He doesn't even travel like most other players...I am not going to get into that discussion either...

[jandiseq]

its european because the move is called europen step, not that manu should be from europe, just the move what he does is called european step

[HealthyHomeGardening]

Good Job NBA, You got everything wrong in the title. Why don't you say it's the ASIAN 1,2 step? or the ESKIMO 1,2 step? he's from Argentina, ever heard of it? AND Spelling GINOBILI is hard. (You spelled it wrong twice). Get a bib, and stop dribbling all over your shirt.

[penniann7]

You know what, it's the nose tape that makes the herky jerky. I need more nose tape.

[pr4mnce]

nowitzki ball taps himself at 1:18 LOL

[gabrielnoe]

It´s GINOBILI , not ginobli.... and he is from Argentina, that´s not in Europe FYI... yanquis pelotudos

[1stpKlosr2]

Obi wan Ginobili

[TrigonometrE]

Manu is nice, but he's not European.

[JForcE777]

@TrigonometrE I think they're referring to the fact that he has dual citizenship in Argentina and Italy, and that he played in the European League.

[SexyAnton69]

nigga stole ma move.

[JEyadig]

type in gift before youtube.com and see what happens!

[myquill23]

When people get really technical about where one came from while choosing to be haphazard on learning the game he plays.., you know those people are closet haters.. and most likely they also have a hidden reason of hate that they just can't say out loud.., because they would sound something that is not popularly acceptable.. :-)

By the way, back in my country somewhere in the 3rd world, some of our finest hoops players have been using this Euro step.. it is a thing of beauty.

[PuReCaRnage666]

HE"S NOT EUROPEAN.

[2390Rick]

[uhjinlee]

[omar0976]

0:19 - 0:20 What's "comporising position"? LOL

[MrBiyankasuzan]

lets get Asian ladies # lushfmlk.info #

[RideBikesDaily]

GINOBILI IS SOOOO DOPE!!!! THAT LAST PLAY WAS SICK!

[tyrekethefreak]

Im not hatn Manu but this mofo gets away with hella travlin man! I saw him at a game i cant believe the refs didnt see his travlin ass. He's good though. 1:16-1:17 was travel!

[RideBikesDaily]

@tyrekethefreak Looks like it, but in the league 2.5 steps is legal, otherwise LeBron would be out a job.

[planbsk8tr24]

@tyrekethefreak didnt they allow three steps now in nba?

[themusic23]

@tyrekethefreak Learn the rules, thats not a travel. If you bounce the ball you can establish a pivot foot from which you start counting. Meaning... if after you bounce the bal,l your first foot to touch the ground is the left one, you take two steps and jump off your left foot. If the first foot to touch the ground is the right one, the you jump off the right one.
