Ginobili's dunk 'embarrassing' but he wants more than former Spur Diaw
Manu Ginobili's two-handed dunk in the third quarter of Wednesday's win over the Phoenix Suns was well received by the crowd at AT&T Center.
It was also well-joked about by his San Antonio Spurs teammates.
“His dunks? I don’t know if they count because he just kind of grabs the rim and the ball just falls in,” LaMarcus Aldridge told Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express News.
When Aldridge's comments were relayed to the 39-year-old veteran, Ginobili agreed, but conceded he has one goal for the season: throw down more dunks than former teammate Boris Diaw.
“I agree. It was pretty embarrassing. I should not try again. I should have finished (the season) with one (dunk) and called it a day. I’m embarrassed," Ginobili said. "It was pretty bad, but I need to beat BoBo, and with two I’m pretty sure I’m going to beat him for the season."
Diaw was traded to the Utah Jazz in July.
