NBA.com’s Gilbert McGregor noted that while Ginobili finishes as the franchise’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made and steals, he also finished top five in seven other major statistical categories, such as games played, minutes, field goals, free throws, rebounds and assists.

NBA.com also debated whether Ginobili was the greatest sixth man ever. Of the five writers, three felt he deserved the top spot, with the other two choosing Jamal Crawford and Jason Terry.
Either way, there’s no doubt that Ginobili leaves the game as an all-time great and future Hall of Famer.
