NBA’s Greatest Battles: Kobe Bryant (30pts) vs Manu Ginóbili (30pts) (2008 WCF Game 3)
Спорт
Kobe Bryant and the Lakers visit San Antonio up 2-0 in the 2008 WCF looking to take a commanding 3-0 lead. However Manu, Duncan, Parker, and role players like Brent Barry and Fabricio Oberto came ready and blew them out of the water. Kobe has 30, but no one else had a good game for the Lakers.
Any recommendations? Comment below!

Ginobili is the only player who played from the bench who had that jordan killer mentality.

It's great to see Manu battles against Kobe, because even though Kobe is one of the greatest players of all time, Manu has never backed down from the challenge. Also look for the games against Lebron or KD, Manu against a great player was even greater! a Hall of Famer very soon...

Great competitors and obviously all-around skillset, each with their unique quirks. It was a pity this series did not go 7 games as Manu had injured his ankle prior to the series, missed a couple and hobbled the rest of the series (including this one). This was also the last hurrah of the great run enjoyed by this Spurs team from 2003-08 with several important role players like Bowen and Horry washed up in this season after a tiring 5 year run where the Spurs were so close to winning 5 rings consecutively if not for the infamous Fisher's bogus 0.4 sec shot and Manu's foul in the last play of G7 against Mavs in 06. Also the Lakers were refreshed adding (gifted rather...) All-NBA big man Pau Gasol in the mid-season transfer due to Kobe's demands which in turn changed the entire dynamics of the season for everyone else who were unprepared for this ridiculous move, and I believe several GMs of other teams complained to the league about it.
Manu is NOT a media-made star. He is who he is. Manu took the souls od Team USA in Olympics. The world will never forget. He is MANU.
To students of the game, this was the best individual match up of the 2000's. To watch these two, whether it was Kobe in the post droppin a fadeaway on Manu or Manu droppin a dime to Timmy on the way to a 30, 8 and 8, the talent ( and respect ) these two had for each other is something I will never forget.

Two of the greatest of the 2000s
Cuando se retiró Manu varios jugadores dieron su apreciación sobre él, uno de ellos fué Kobi. Contó que en un partido trascendental les dijo a sus compañeros "debemos marcar a Manu, él se siente cómodo con este tipo de partidos y se potencia, se ve que lo hicimos mal porque estuvo imparable" La simpleza de un grande....

Si mal no recuerdo se refiere a un partido de playoff en LA en el cual San Antonio no contaba ni con Tim, ni con Tony. La advertencia de Kobe a sus compañeros era para que no se relajen pensando en los que faltaban. Ganaron los Lakers pero el partido de Manu fue tremendo.
RIP Mr Bryant.

Brent Barry got hammered on a buzzer beating 3 with a no call. TBH, if the Spurs win game 1 they may have very well won the series. It was a lot closer than the final margin for the series.
