Re: Ginobili or Chris Mullin?
I've always viewed Mullin as kind of the cloth of Barry and Bird at the SF. A great shooter-scorer (easily an alpha dog), great passer, and clutch as hell. Now Mullin wasn't as big as Bird or as athletic as Barry. But peak Mullin was flat out a great player and a top 3 SF in the world at one point with Nique and Pippen once Bird was on his last legs. The only thing is Mullin didn't have as many great years as he should have due to injury. But he was more durable than Manu. Manu is better all around, hell one of the top 7-8 all around SG's of all time. But keep in mind the better all around player ISN'T the better player in all cases. Peak Manu or Peak Mullin, give me peak Mullin. More stage presence and more proven being the alpha dog on playoff teams.

Re: Ginobili or Chris Mullin?
People think Bird is better than Mullin.
Probably only because he is white. Bird was so overrated because of his skin tone. Stacked team, 0 defense, average everywhere else.

[QUOTE=fsvr54]Prime Manu was an absolute beast who was never 100% unleashed on the NBA.[/QUOTE]
You can say that for tons of players. Manu never had that (at least) one season where he had elite stats like McHale did with his 26/10/2 ect. I have Manu behind a guy like Bob Dandridge.

[QUOTE=Smoke117]Mullin had no business making 1st team All NBA over Pippen in 92. Scottie was better in every way (significantly in most ways) possible except Mullin scored more points[/QUOTE]
Scottie wasn't a better shooter. Come on now. Pippen is overall better, but it really does help to have an MJ on your team that gets the number one focus from the other team every single game.
