They're both monster SG's so idk which one is better than the other :confusedshrug:
Mullin was a SF
Mullin was really an SF.
He was great for about 6 years but he wasn't anything special before or after that. If he could have extrapolated 88-93 over 10+ years, it'd probably be him.
But as it stands it's Ginobili by a considerable margin.
Manu has 4 rings so I'll go with him.

There is no universe where Ginobili is better than Chris Mullin by a "considerable margin". That is just asinine and bias.
Mullin played SG for a while, and he wasn't particularly big for a SF so the comparison is pretty fair. Mullin was the better shooter, Manu got the edge in passing and defense even though Mullin was a terrific passer as well. In another topic, I think Mullin was the most replaceable player in the Dream Team.
Love Mullin and grew up watching him but I'll take the guy who's an ultimate team player and competitor and didn't fall into alcoholism.

Mullin recovered from alcoholism and he wasn't a selfish player. He was as much a team player as Manu. Manu has a better winning attitude, I'll give you that.
Ginobili is more like a less physically imposing Sarunas Marciulionis
[QUOTE=Encre92]Manu has 4 rings so I'll go with him.[/QUOTE]
And Horry has 7. Helps to play with Parker, Duncan and have Pop as a coach when it comes to winning rings.
Chris Mullin by a lot.

Oh well, he was the team's mascot. :D

Mullin had a great college career.
[QUOTE]Signing to play for St. John's University in nearby Queens, Mullin in his freshman year averaged 16.6 points per game (also setting the school freshman record for points scored). In his subsequent three years for the Redmen, he would be named Big East Player of the Year three times, named to the All-America team three times, play for the gold medal-winning 1984 Olympic team, receive the 1985 Wooden Award, USBWA College Player of the Year and lead his team to the 1985 Final Four. Mullin finished his career as the Redmen's all-time leading scorer. He also holds the distinction of being one of only three players in history to win the Haggerty Award (given to the best college player in the New York City area) three times (1983–1985).[/QUOTE]
And that 6 year span for mullin you speak of is better than any span from ginobli. go look up how many players in nba history was putting up 25ppg at 50% for five consecutive seasons. Won't be many.
Mullen for me. I think if Mullen were on the Spurs instead of Ginobili, they would have won all the same championships, and likely not thrown away 2013 or 2006.
