The praise of various NBA figures towards Emanuel Ginóbili, who entered the Hall of Fame

The confirmation of the arrival of Emanuel Ginóbili to the NBA Hall of Fame delivered more repercussions and it was the American league itself that on its social networks released a video in which basketball figures and coaches praised the former San Antonio Spurs shooting guard, franchise with which he obtained four rings, beyond his achievements with the Argentine team.

The material posted by the NBA points to the classic play made by the Bahiense, the Eurostep, which is a simulation in which the attacking player puts his body to one side and defines to the other. From the left sector to the right, from the right to the left or from the center to either of the two directions. The key to the play is the efficiency of whoever carries the ball and Manu that was a registered trademark of Manu.

Most of those who spoke highlighted that point from the 44year-old former basketball player. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), stated that “when I think of Manu Ginobili I think of greatness and more importantly, the Eurostep”.

While Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors) stressed that “it’s like he was moving down, but he was also moving both sides to the same side and had a lot of little tricks.”

“The way he attacks the rim, his speed, his strength, the ability to change directions so quickly and those finishing with both hands, it’s impeccable,” said Kelly Olynyk (Miami Heat). While Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors) pointed out that “his ability to cut, play with talent and style.

For Blake Griffin (Detroit Pistons), Manu “really changed the way basketball is played today. Now you see several players do it every game in three or four opportunities.

For his part, JB Bickerstaff (Memphis Grizzlies Coach), indicated that “preparing a player like James Harden, who has dominated that play, obviously he had an impact on a player like that, who became one of the best players in the league”.

Someone who knows Manu well since he was his coach at the Spurs, Gregg Popovich, indicated that “you never knew exactly what was going to be or where the ball was going to go or what play he could make, but 9 out of 10, whatever he did , helped win basketball games.”
