玫瑰无因由，花开即花开。Ginobili究竟是一朵正在盛开的玫瑰，还是即将枯萎的玫瑰？有人说他老了。但是这样说的人也许忘记了，老是一个来衡量人的概念。Ginobili是妖，让人难以看透。他是一朵不知道什么时候会开放的玫瑰。但是我们依旧有足够的理由去相信，去等待。为什么？只因为他是Emanul David Ginobili。与奇迹共存的人。
太阳队主教练 Mike D’Antoni 给 Manu 送上了大量赞美之词，“一直被低估，或许因为他是个异类。”这个好有感觉。
圣安东尼奥邮报的 Mike Monroe 也在呼唤给 Ginobili 一些 MVP 票选。
More than most — Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is the obvious exception — D’Antoni has a keen appreciation for everything Ginobili brings to the court. When he returned to Italy as head coach of Benetton Treviso after the Nuggets unfairly fired him after he coached them to a 16-34 record in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season, Ginobili was the star player for Virtus Bologna, Benetton’s primary rival in the Italian League. He knew before most that Ginobili would be a star in the NBA.
“I’ll tell you what,” D’Antoni said, “since watching him in Europe and watching his maturity here, and this is a shame, he’s one of the best players in the world, without a doubt, but he never gets mentioned. He didn’t even make the All-Star team, which is a travesty.
“I think he exemplifies everything you want a player to be: great in the clutch, great at getting after a loose ball, great at defense, great at offense, unselfish; takes a contract for less money to make his team better.
“I don’t think there is one superlative you can say that is too much about him. Not (in San Antonio), but in the world he is unappreciated. Maybe because he is unorthodox, whatever. I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, you can’t get a better player than him.
“You can debate Kobe or LeBron. Fine. But he is right there in the debate.”
