James Worthy vs Manu Ginobili
Who is the better player? Career and peak wise. I can see the similarities in both players. Both were for the most part 3rd options on championship teams for years. Both have never made an All-NBA First or Second Team, but are without a doubt hall of fame players.

4x NBA Champion
2004 Olympic Gold Medal
2008 6th Man of the Year
2x NBA All-Star
2x All-NBA 3rd Team
[U]Worthy[/U]
3x Champion
1988 NBA Finals MVP
7x NBA All-Star
2x All-NBA 3rd Team
[U]At their peak...[/U]
Ginobili - 19.5 PPG | 5 RPG | 4.5 APG | 46 FG% | 40 3PT% | 86 FT%

Re: James Worthy vs Manu Ginobili
Manu.
worthy wasnt as important as Ginobli was
Re: James Worthy vs Manu Ginobili
Anyone who says Ginobili clearly hasn't read about or watched James Worthy play.
It's not a big gap, but it's clear as to who the better player was/is.
Re: James Worthy vs Manu Ginobili
Prime Manu was not a better player than Prime Worthy.
Not a better defender, not better offensively. Worthy was devastating in the post and on the break
Re: James Worthy vs Manu Ginobili
Worthy and no its not freaking close.

Re: James Worthy vs Manu Ginobili

This.
Re: James Worthy vs Manu Ginobili
Worthy is the more talented (and better?) player, but i think in terms of expectations, what he does for the team, Manu exceeds him.

It's not a bad comparison. Worthy was an All-Star, but he wasn't a player who dominated games and made All-NBA First Teams.
