NBA 6th MAN 2008 -- TOP 5Manu Ginobili, the best NBA 6th Man in 2008, is the epitome of selflessness on the reigning champion, San Antonio Spurs. When Head Coach Gregg Popovich decided to switch up his game plan by removing Ginobili from the first five; Manu Ginobili gladly accepted coming off the Spur’s bench. With Tony Parker and Tim Duncan carrying the load for the starting lineup, it became Ginobili’s mission to spice up the scoring of the second unit. Although he plays All Star minutes, Manu Ginobili seems to maintain a certain high level aggression at all times. He is averaging nearly 20 ppg, 5 apg, and 5 rpg. Any other team would kill to have such a gifted player as their go to guy. What a luxury it is for the San Antonio Spurs to be able to bring this stud off the bench each game.
