Spurs' Ginobili A Stroke Of Genius

 
In the SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS, Jeff McDonald writes "Manu Ginobili had just polished off his second consecutive 37-point night against Utah on Friday, a 2 1/2-hour testament to heart and will and want-to that had lifted the Spurs to a second consecutive victory without an injured Tim Duncan. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was shocked by none of it. ‘I'm surprised by nothing Manu Ginobili does,' Popovich said. In fact, Ginobili's recent spate of ho-hum brilliance has forced his coach to rethink the English language altogether.” (link)
