Rookie Manu Ginobili vs New Jersey Nets - FULL highlights - G6 2003 NBA FInals
Manu Ginobili in his rookie season, helping the San Antonio Spurs win their 2nd NBA championship, against the New Jersey Nets of Jason Kid, Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, Dikembe Mutombo and Kerry Kittles (ah, plus Brian "the White Mamba" Scalabrine).
While his performance in the title game was by far his worst of the series, I thought it would be worth watching, as this is where it all begun. Even if his shot did not fall down on this, Manu displayed his usual passion and competitiveness, the ones that he built a career on.
Enjoy! Again, all credit to ABC and the NBA

minute 8:17 makes me very emotional, seeing ginobili's reaction. It looks like he couldnt believe what he had just acomplished. He looked so focused playing the last minutes ,as the commentator said 'calmly hitting the free throw', and then he realises the game is over and he suddenly understands and just grabs his head in disbelief. Looks like at that time his bond with the rest of his teammates wasnt very strong yet so he just stands alone raising his hands at first. For a foreign young guy,humble as ginobili, winning an NBA title in his second year. He must have been overwhelmed with happiness. This image just made my day, thank you

I can't wrap my head around the fact that it's already been fourteen years since I watched this game live.

Another great find by the best organization in sports. Manu is a winner and plays with great passion and emotion. Love this team.

that reaction by the GOAT was worth the video 06:42
Inolvidable esa noche. No lo podía creer. Toda mi niñez viendo a los Chicago Bulls de Jordan, Pippen y compañía. Y de repente, un argentino lograba el anillo. Fue el primero. Los otros 3, lo tuvieron como gran protagonista, conformando un trío inolvidable junto a Tim Duncan Y Tony Parker. Manu Ginóbili es el deportista mas grande que tiene Argentina en toda su historia, por encima de Maradona, Messi, Vilas, etc.
Oh my gosh.. The memories!!! I love my Spurs and these spurs especially!!!!
Manu wasn't a rookie at that point. He was coming from italy as champion and mvp of everything in the euro league. And winning an historic 2nd place in the 2002 world cup in indeanapolis. The rest is history. GOAT.

I liked Kevin Willis's toughness. He was among my favorites on this Spurs squad.
I was watching this way back in 2003...The first time i saw Manu and Pops acting like crazy
Nets classy at the end. Heavy underdogs. Not a single scorer on that team. Manu has that Larry Bird IQ and ice cold clutch gene.
Also Love to my Spurs..!!

No, señor. Para ser campeón del mundo te lo tenés que ganar a fuerza de partidos y torneos. A caso el Barcelona cuando gana la liga es campeón del mundo? No, es campeón de España. Para ser campeón del mundo, primero tiene que ganar la liga, luego la Champions y luego el mundial de clubes. Y hasta el Barcelona ha quedado afuera varias veces de la final. Pero por puesto, los yanquis viven mirándose el ombligo todo el tiempo. Ellos creen que América es un país, y ese país les pertenece a ellos, lo cual es gracioso y molesto a la vez. Un título de NBA (la mejor liga sin lugar a dudas) no es otra cosa que la convalidación de campeón de esa liga. Nada más y nada menos.

Lo de "campeón del mundo" de la NBA es un título autoproclamado por los Estados Unidos, hay gente que se siente inferior como vos y lo convalidás. Pero no significa que sea cierto. El "campeón del mundo" en Basket es la selección nacional que sale campeona del Mundial, aunque en Basket es más importante la medalla dorada de juegos olímpicos. A nivel clubes no hay un "mundial de clubes" como el que organiza la FIFA en fútbol, así que ese título está vacante. Por otro lado, se ven clubes de Europa que le ganan a los de NBA en la pretemporada. Aunque el presupuesto sea inmensamente mayor por parte de los equipos NBA.

Yes, he was drafted in '99, but the spurs left him to play overseas for several seasons after they drafted him to develop him. The spurs had little idea that Ginobili would become such a great player. There is a video of Ginobili telling his story of coming to SA; he had already been drafted by the spurs, and when he got to SA, he introduced himself to Tim Duncan by saying that he was with the San Antonio Spurs. Duncan was incredulous because Manu had been playing overseas, not in SA.
