LIKE WATCHING A TRAIN WRECK IN ACTION

I've been around the game for a long time and have seen my fair share of great players, but watching Manu Ginobili (Spurs) play is like watching a train wreck about to happen... you can't take your eyes off of it because you know something spectacular is about to happen.

The guy is the epitome of a warrior.  He never takes a second off and he plays every play as if that one play will decide the game.


In last night's Spurs 4-point win over the Mavs, Ginobili took a crushing elbow to the nose early in the 4th quarter.  Not only did it break his nose, it was cut deeply.  The trainers took him to locker room to get the bleeding to stop, and a mere four minutes later, Ginobili ran back out onto the court and scored 11 of his 14 points and made an amazing wrap around pass to Hill to help drive the nail in the Dallas coffin.

If high school players want a true role model to base their game on, there's none better than Ginobili.
