Howard is up.
Then Ellis.
Then me.
I don't think Jeffrey has picked yet.
Howard is up.
Then Ellis.
Then me.
Kobe is 36.
Manu is 38.
Kobe is 36.
Manu is 38.
Kobe is 36.
Manu is 38.
Manu has actually played in the NBA since 2013 (and won a Championship).
Again, your Manu is expected to start and play 36 minutes.
When was the last time he did that?
Again, your Manu is expected to start and play 36 minutes.
When was the last time he did that?
Yeah. He's old as dirt and gets new injuries constantly.
Since when were you in charge of my minutes distribution?
Plus my Kobe is coming off the bench playing 10+ minutes, while your Manu is expected to start for the first time of his life at the age of 38 and expected to play 36 minutes?
LOL .. good luck.
Well how many minutes will he play as a starter?
Derrick Rose.
Who again is a starter on your team.
We'll have to see who his back up is, obvi.
Rose put together a great come back season already. He played more games this season than Kobe has since before Miami won the Championship.
At the end of the day a 38 year old Ginobili is no where near the starting caliber SG needed to win in this competition.
Not even close.
Manu Ginobili
Per 36 last season:
16.7 points - 6.6 assists - 4.8 rebounds
He's been through the fire so many times. He brings the BBIQ and toughness that a Championship team needs. He's a good 3 point shooter and defender, and a fantastic playmaker. He personifies what a high level role player should be on a Championship team.
Again let me remind you we're comparing your STARTER and my BENCH player.
Kobe will be playing 12min, your Rose and 38 year old Ginobili are expected to play 36+ min EACH in a 7-game series.
LOL .. are you really going to inflate Ginobili's off the bench numbers to Per 36? You do realise those are mostly Ginobili going against other team's bench players right????
