Long time Mavs fan, but man, this is tough to watch Manu end his career like this. Killer, killer turnovers and mistakes.

When flopping is one of your biggest assets....

It sure was ugly as hell that's for sure

Totally agree MSC, even considering he tried to use his knee to stop a drive.

Heady, gutsy player. He would be a fan favorite anywhere (this playoffs nowithstanding).

he's a soccer player playing basketball. He'll be remembered for making flopping mainstream in the NBA and lucking out on being teammates with Tim Duncan for a few rings and being a solid sixth man.

NBA would have been better without him.

One of the most informative basketball posts I've seen in a while.

Shouldn't of even responded.

Carry on.

I shouldn't *have* even responded.... at least you were close to forming a meaningful sentence that time.

F/ck you first_bled

Manu will be remembered for being a basketball savant. Basketball fans love him, not just Spurs fans.

It was sad to see him play like this.

But, but, but, look at what he did in Europe! He's the Argentine Miguel Jordañ!

I don't get the Manu haters. Manu was/is a very good player in the NBA. Never acts like a dick (unlike lots of other NBA stars) He'll never be in the NBA Hall of Fame, but he's been great for the Spurs. Its a shame he would not recapture the magic one more time in games 6 or 7.

Soup thinks he's a guarantee first ballot hall of famer

He is a hall of fame lock

Sure he was a flopper, but hes no worse than Dwayne Wade. If anything Wade is worse for the NBA. His theatrical responses to every bump are really well done, but come on man, stop falling over all the time.

Everybody gets in to the basketball hall of fame. I think he'll make it in.

Lot of trolls today. Kind of pitiful .

Really sad to see the Big 3 begin to fade into history.

Drazen Petrovic, Arvydas Sabonis, Uljana Semjonova are all in the Hall of Fame based off their international play. Ginobili will get in.

I don't get the Manu haters. Manu

He is the king of flopping, which jeopardizes the integrity of the game. Manu turned basketball into soccer.

this series had to set a record for most times a player hit the floor. the real MVP's should be the towel boys who practically had to mop the court after every possession

I have just come to the conclusion that it wasn't meant to be for the Spurs.

They won Game 1, which puts them at great odds to win the series.

They won Game 3 to break the 1-1 tie...once again, great odds to win the series.

They won Game 5 to break the 2-2 tie...same thing...

They had a 98.6% of winning Game 6 with less than 30 ticks on the clock...

It just wasn't meant to be...

But this helped me with coping last night...
