Manu Ginobili: Top 10 Moments of his Career

4. Block on Harden

Ginobili with the game-winning block

As the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets met in the Semi-Finals of the 2017 NBA Playoffs, Manu Ginobili turned back the hands of time not only once but twice in this game.

With 2.02 seconds left in the first quarter of Game 5, Ginobili gathered the ball from the top of the key where he lifted off awkwardly from his right foot to throw down a mean right-handed jam over Ryan Anderson. This dunk was just his third dunk since the start of the season and the first in the year of 2017.

With 35 seconds left in the 4th quarter, Ginobili drove by Clint Capela to make a trademark scoop layup to tie the game and force it into overtime.

As awesome as the dunk and the scoop layup were, the then 40-year-old veteran was not done yet and had kept his best for the last.

With 10 sec remaining in overtime and the Spurs up by 3, Ginobili blocked James Hardens' three-point attempt from 25 feet out to win the game for the Spurs and give them a 3-2 lead in the series. The Spurs went onto close the Houston Rockets in Game 6 thus winning the series 4-2.

"I know where his shot releases from, and he went by me," Ginobili said of the final play of the game. "So I tried to bother him as much as I could, and I saw I found myself very close to the ball. So I went for it. But very risky; it was a risky play. But it was also risky to let him shoot. So I took my chances."
