I saw this last night, I was like 'is no one going to mention that?'
great pass from a great player

[K Xerxes]

Imagine how everyone would react if LeBron did that lol.

That's a magnificent pass.

[9erempiree]

He had that one and another one.

The other one was like a bounce pass cross court, he put some spin and it found it's way to the guy. I forget who.

[9erempiree]

Imagine how everyone would react if LeBron did that lol.

That's a magnificent pass.

It's sad how the media are controlling the sheep.

[Trollsmasher]

I don't even know how the ball got into Parker's hands:applause:

[Levity]

:applause:

[Kiddlovesnets]

lol Manobili.

[TheReal Kendall]

Imagine how everyone would react if LeBron did that lol.

That's a magnificent pass.

This.

If it was Bron people would be saying he the GOAT and no other player has the ability to make a pass like that.:facepalm

[Peteballa]

The entire crowd missed it (I was at the game). I was looking around me like "did anyone else just see that shit?". Amazing pass, absolutely incredible. I didn't even click the video and I already know exactly what you're talking about. Shit brings "threading the needle" to an entirely different level.

It's a Miami crowd.

[Andy Hug]

Crazy pass. Made me actually post for once

[aj1987]

Holy shit! Crazy pass! Would've been insane if TP finished the play though.

[hitmanyr2k]

Very similar to this....

They usually make that pass on a semi-fast break that catches the defense off guard now but they used to have a play where Parker would come up the baseline and fake like he was running up to the top of the key as if he's going to receive the pass and then he back cuts into the paint where Ginobili has already thrown the pass and hits Parker right in stride for an easy layup. I don't know why the Spurs stopped running that awesome play. It worked a lot. I couldn't find a youtube clip of it though.

[bdreason]

That's a low % (lucky) pass that led to nothing.

[LongLiveTheKing]

I noticed that pass also I was amazed by it! Manu's awesome to watch.

[bdreason]

And the correct play would have been to hit Leonard on the low post, who would have then been able to hit Parker on the cut for a wide open layup.

Damn I thought I saw that last night. No one was talking about it though so I thought I was seeing stuff. Thanks for posting.

Yeah I agree, as amazing as that was it wasn't nearly worth the risk. Save that for the pre/regular season in garbage time.

Ginobili going for that highest degree of difficulty between the legs pass. It's a trademark of his. Sick, underrated passer...

There's no freaking way Manu intended to bounce that ball between Cole's leg. Manu does that between your legs bounce pass all the time but no way in hell you're going that fancy in a Final's game.

It's more of a lucky pass than an incredible pass.

Ginobili is obviously getting bored with the regular between the legs bounce passes. I think he's trying to challenge himself to see if he can thread the needle between moving legs now. And yeah, I'm kidding lol.

[chazzy]

There was another awesome crosscourt pass he made in the first half to Diaw I think, I have to rewatch

[FKAri]

Scotty Pimppen

[tmacattack33]

He was trying to pass it behind Cole. Cole luckily widened his stance and it went under his right leg.

[kNIOKAS]

Really nifty pass. Maybe not the greatest, because, well, it was rather lucky one, but a pleasure to watch.

Which makes me bring up AI's full court pass

[edrick]

That was a lucky ass pass. lol

[HardwoodLegend]

LeBron making this pass would have made people go crazy because of the package it comes in. His athleticism and other abilities combined would make it more special than Ginobili doing it. Not that hard to understand.

[ProfessorMurder]

He's megged at least 2 guys in just the playoffs this year alone. I think he got Tayshaun last series.

Apparently you haven't watched Manu in the finals before....

[Bandito]

He had that one and another one.

I remember that one, I was going crazy over that pass. I didn't even notice that pass was between the legs the first time I saw it.

damn u can see the spin on that bounce pass...

I was amazed at this pass. Couldn't believe it wasn't even mentioned. Has more spin than a tennis ball.

you can see the way manu moves his body back during the pass in order to get the extra friction to generate that spin..

Not hating because it really is an awesome pass, but I doubt that this was manu's original intention

Manu has the occasional other-worldly pass and they are magnificent to watch. :applause:

Wouldn't that be a violation?

[bluechox2]

Wouldn't that be a violation?
he maintained possession inbounds

[bluechox2]

He had that one and another one.

The other one was like a bounce pass cross court, he put some spin and it found it's way to the guy. I forget who.
he bounced passed it between wade and bron to parker across court i think, i was impressed with that one, but the one in op is more impressive

[BoutPractice]

It was a lucky pass, he clearly couldn't have anticipated what happened there (and if he did, it was a wild gamble that could've just as easily turned into a turnover).
That said, it was beautiful to watch.

[9erempiree]

Manu is the best passer in today's game. Out of the current players nobody has those kind of passes.

:applause:

[FatComputerNerd]

:applause:

Untrue. Not to take anything away from Manu; he is a great passer and is probably the best passing 2-guard currently, but there are plenty of other players who can and do make passes like these.

Probably not as consistently as Ginobili does it. These passes are kind of routine for him.

[bdreason]

AFAIK it should have been a violation.

[tmacattack33]

:applause:

Very false. Perhaps he makes those trick shot passes the most and has a great ability to thread the needle, but that doesn't equate to the best passer. The best passer has great vision and can find the open guy when no one else can. Which leads to more open shots for teammates which is the goal here. And there are at least 6-7 players in the league who do that better than Manu, and perhaps around 10 or so would be more like it.

[nightprowler10]

AFAIK it should have been a violation.
Yeah, he hadn't established himself back inbounds.

[tmacattack33]

Bump.


:roll:


After all those terrible passes in Game 7, there are now people on twitter claiming that Ginobli was point shaving :oldlol:

This poster is a fukking genius. He didn't buy into the hype of one lucky pass that Ginobli wasn't even trying to do in the first place.

[2swift4u]

You don't you really think he didthat on purpose, do you? Throwing a pass between the legs of a running player is pure luck. even if it's a great passer like Manu...

[Myth]

With the way Manu handled the ball this series, I wouldn't be surprised if he was trying to do a chest pass.

[plowking]

Manu is one of the best passers in the league, and has been during his tenure in the NBA. In fact, he is one of the best SG passers of all time. Top 5 at worst.

:roll:

[tpols]

He was throwing these passes all series long.. 10 percent looked great and led to a bucket and 90 percent led to a fast break for miami
