VIDEO: Boban reaps rewards of Ginobili's tricky playmaking

In the real-life version of "Choose Your Own Adventure," Manu Ginobili navigated the fantastical world of Serbian giants and Brooklyn-based foes, choosing to pass up a good shot for a better one.

Twice.

Within the span of three minutes, the San Antonio Spurs guard wowed the crowd with a pair of clever plays, drawing defenders on the drive and dishing to Boban Marjanovic for a couple of easy baskets.

Perhaps having a 7-foot-3 center capable of scoring without jumping will finally force a smile out of the notoriously sullen Gregg Popovich.

Or not.
