Manu Ginobili as a HOF Candidate

Ginobili is going to end his career most likely with career totals that are below normal HOF standards. I"m guessing he's got many 2-3 more years after this year. If I'm correct then he'll end up with ~12,000 pts, 3,400 rebounds, 3400 steals, 1200 steals, etc. But I think credit has to be given that he willingly played as a sixth man for his entire career. Had he played starter minutes all that time he'd arguably have numbers that were HOF numbers: 17,000 pts, 4,500 rebounds, 4,500 assists, 1,500 steals, etc. Ginobili epitomizes the ideal sixth man and an ideal teammate. I think he should absolutely get into the HOF.

He will be in the HOF simply because it's about basketball in general, not only the NBA.

His international resume is amazing.

He's a lock for the Hall.

Don't worry we'll be seeing Manu in the HOF.

He's had an impressive enough NBA career and his international career is incredible.

He's a 100% lock.

More interesting is Parker, who I think will also get in.
