Manu Ginobili is 6th Man of the Year in NBA

While most players want to have their name announced in the starting lineup, Manu said he only had the team goals in mind.

“I really don’t care about coming from the bench if that helps the team to win a championship,” said Manu.

Manu Ginobili ran away with the 2007-08 NBA Sixth Man of the Year award, receiving 615 of the 620 points – including 123 out of 124 first-place votes. Despite coming off the bench in 51 of the 74 games, Manu still led the San Antonio Spurs in scoring with 19.5 points per game. Manu finished the season with more than twice as many points as the second-place player in the award voting. It is the highest scoring average of Manu’s career, more than 6 points higher than his career average of 13.7 points per game coming into the 2007-08 season.

Manu ranked near the top of nearly every offensive basketball statist category in the NBA’s 2007-08 season, including three-point field goals made (16th), free throws made (16th) and free throw percentage (16th). And the fact that he didn’t start made his ranking for points per game (31st) and assists (28th) that much more impressive.

Ginobili spent the early half of his basketball career in Argentina and Italy, where he won several individual and team honors.

His stint with Italian side Kinder Bologna was particularly productive, earning two Lega A Most Valuable Player awards, the Euroleague 2000-01 Finals MVP award and the 2001 League Championship.

The San Antonio Spurs drafted the shooting guard as the 57th overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft, but Ginóbili returned to Italy and only joined the Spurs in 2002.

He did not take long to establish himself as a key player for the Spurs, and has since won three NBA championships as well as being named an All-Star once. In the 2007–08 season, he was named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year.
