Better individual player, Jamal Crawford or Manu Ginobili?

[Kizzle]

I know I’m not crazy so please discuss.


No one thinks Jamal right?

 

[ChicagoCavFan]

You have a bet with your brother?

Manu. Manu is closer to Kobe than Jamal is to Manu

 

[Alec]

Manu is overrated.

 

[Ben]

You'd pick Manu for your team but Crawford would kill Manu 1 on 1. So, it depends on what metric you want to go by.

 

[Heat Check]

Crawford would kill Manu 1 on 1.

What makes you think that?

Ginobili was an extremely tough defender and a great ball thief.

 

[Heat Check]

The whole question is ridiculous. Manu is literally an all time great. Crawford was an NBA role player.

 

[HammerGold]

Manu is overrated.

He's underrated. He was the second best player on a dynasty.

 

[foucault87]

Ginobli was the third best 2 guard of the 00s and a better defender than one of the two in front and better playmaker than both.

Crawford was the best player to have if your goal was to lose a lot of games. Or if you exist in nba 2k7. Otherwise, you are better off with Mo Pete or even Larry Hughes

I think Jamal beats Manu in a half court 1v1, but I’d 100% rather have prime Manu over prime Crawford on my team. Not even close either.

Yessssssssss

 

[BigZ94]

Ginobli for sure, would have started on almost any other team in the 00s

 

[Jstock12]

People forget how good individually Manu was at his peak. There's nothing to suggest that Crawford would be able to stop him defensively even once if they played 1v1. I will extend the olive branch and will say it's possible that the 1v1 match between them would end in a tie. And yeah, for team basketball it's a no-brainer.

 

[foucault87]

So why does Jamal win the 1v1? Hes shifty for sure but the guy never saw a shot he didn't like. Manu slows him down way more than the other way around. I think Manu still wins

 

[cavsfever]

Manu and it’s not even close? Why would this ever come up, who would possibly think differently?
