Guard – Manu Ginobili, San Antonio Spurs

Manu Ginobili has been one of the best per-minute players in the NBA over the last decade-plus. At 37 years old, he has admittedly taken a step back in terms of overall production, but even amid injury concerns, Ginobili is averaging 17.4 points, 6.7 assists and 4.6 rebounds per 36 minutes.

His game is beautiful to watch in every sense.

There has never been an NBA player quite like Ginobili, who uses reckless abandon and left-handedness to create interesting angles to expose opposing defenses. He is a high-end distributor when he wants to be, as he perfectly pairs with point guard Tony Parker, but Ginobili has always been fully capable of taking over a game as a primary scorer as well.

San Antonio has been managing his workload for many years, and with good reason. However, Manu Ginobili will show up in the playoffs as he always does, and even at 37, he is quite dangerous.
