After seeing teammate Kawhi Leonard botch a perfectly good dunking opportunity, the ageless Manu Ginobili showed Leonard how one properly goes to the rack.

In Game 5 of the 2017 Western Conference Semifinals on Tuesday night, San Antonio Spurs small forward Kawhi Leonard forgot how to dunk on an easy attempt. Yes, it was that bad. Since he might have forgotten how to dunk, look no further than the oldest member of the Spurs in Manu Ginobili to show him how it’s done.

Ginobili is well past his prime of his Hall of Fame-worthy career, but apparently he can still get off the ground. In a playoff series that saw point guard Tony Parker wreck his leg for the season, it was a gutsy move on Ginobili’s part, but it the result was totally worth it.

It reminded us of when Ginobili first came into the league as the wild and rambunctious Argentinian out on the wing with his crazy hair. With a lot less hair and a lot less ups, this dunk of Ginobili’s certainly got all the spectators watching at AT&T Center on Tuesday night out of their seats.

This has been a tight second-round series between Southwest Division rivals. The Spurs may have had home court advantage, but did lose Game 1 of the best-of-seven series in San Antonio. While San Antonio did take Games 2 and 3 from the Rockets, Houston rallied back with a big win over the Spurs in Game 4.

This series feels like it will be going seven games. With two sweeps in the second round and four so far in the 2017 NBA Playoffs, the fans are clamoring for more games with high intensity. In those instances, we will have the distinct pleasure of seeing guys in their late 30s like Ginobili attack the rim with pure ferocity. What a dunk by Ginobili!
