Stud. He probably cost his team the first finals series against the Heat. Other than that he was one of my favorites. |

Havlicek if you want to play the era game. If you don't, I say with great confidence its Jamal Crawford. |

There's only 3 guys who would change a game when they came in, 4 if you count Walton, and that's Havlicek, Jamal, and Vinnie. |

Jamal Crawford's low field goal % and porous defense are the reason i give the other guys the nod. Its no accident as to why it took so long for him to participate in a playoff game. |

You could say the same about Vinnie. One thing's for sure. It ain't Manu |

I love Jamal but he's not even qualified to serve Manu water during his HOF speech. |

I hope the money Manu made for throwing the Finals allows him to live comfortably for the rest of his life. I'll always remember him for that series. |

That is what is called a role. It isn't about who is a better basketball player. It's very rare that role is played well. You LOLed at something that's obviously over your head. |

Manu and Crawford played about the same number of games as reserves. With that being the case Manu had to be better in that role as well. No way he could not have been. |

Crawford is not close to Manu You are fascinated with Manu's bag of tricks. Occasionally it works, occasionally, when against better competition, the bag of tricks gets shoved up his ass. He's a fine player but in the role of 6th man...ehh. |

During the same period Jamal Crawford was stat padding on losing teams. Jamal Crawford was nowhere near the player or 6th Man that Manu Ginobili happened to be. The Bulls became a better team simply by allowing him to walk and replacing him with a rookie by the name of Ben Gordon. |

So many Kobe haters on this board. You aren't a real basketball fan if you hate on Mamba. |

Ginobli is a surefire HOF`er. JC is just a guy. Not sure what the argument is. |

That's why he took less money to stay. He knew he couldn't have personal success elsewhere. You can't be beloved when people find out half of it is smoke and mirrors. |

What does any of this have to do with Jamal Crawford being a better 6th man than him? You also can't "smoke and mirror" your way to 3 rings if you are a vital cog as Manu obviously happened to be. He was generally regarded as a great player that sacrificed for the betterment of the team. Crawford was never thought to be a great anything and it took 10 years for coaches to find a role for him that wasn't detrimental to the team. |
