Manu Ginobili can't help but remind world of Spurs' dominance in recent post

It seems the fire still burns inside the Argentinian assassin Manu Ginobili more than seven years after he retired as one of the most legendary Spurs of all time. San Antonio's PR man, Jordan Howenstine, is a great social media follow, as he's always sharing interesting team stats, like how the Silver and Black "have the most wins in the NBA this century since Jan. 1, 2000."

That's cool enough on its own, but Manu must have known that something important was missing, so he asked Jordan to be more specific and asked, "Including playoffs?"

It was a loaded question that he already knew the answer to, but, as you can see, Howenstine played along and shared the updated number, revealing San Antonio leads all teams in wins during that stretch when you include the playoffs, too. Ginobili's ending of the exchange with a simple "This is the one" is the cherry on top. He just had to make sure everyone was clear on who dominated that era.

The Spurs' dynasty will never be forgotten

When you think about the Big 3 and which of them would be the one to comment like this years after he was done playing, Ginobili does come to mind. Tim Duncan was the leader, Tony Parker was the floor general, and Manu was the spark and emotional leader. He was the heart of the team and often was the one with the most demonstrative outbursts after highlight plays. It just fits.

It's good to be a fan of this franchise. You can't tell the story of the NBA without carving out a large section to discuss the Spurs. Their run of sustained success was unheard of, not just because the team found a way to be good every year for nearly two decades, but because of what they did with the same three-player core.

There's never been a Big 3 to stay together that long, let alone have that level of success. Tim, Tony, and Manu played together for 14 years. They weren't just teammates; they were brothers, and that bond helped them win on the court because they were all of a similar mindset, despite being from vastly different places. They wanted to play as a team and win as a team. Simple.

Simple worked for them. It was boring to the masses, but it was damn exciting as a Spurs fan. Who doesn't love to win? Those extra highlights didn't help those teams beat San Antonio when it mattered most, and nobody is going to remember them. But I'll bet that they'll remember constant 50-win seasons, four championships, and one of the greatest trios of all time.
