I was listening the Dan Patrick show this morning and he was interviewing NBA rookie OJ Mayo of the Memphis Grizzlies. Patrick asked Mayo who the player was that made OJ realize he needed to work on his defense if he was going to be able to guard this guy and Mayo said it was Ginobili. He said that Manu is the toughest to guard because as a defender you know he's going left, but he still goes left on you. When Patrick asked why Mayo didn't say Kobe, Mayo said that with Kobe you know he's going to shoot a jumper, you just don't know when or how he's going to shoot it. He said Manu moves so much off the ball that he's a harder player to defend.
Just thought I'd share that, thought it was interesting. It is a b*tch guarding a shooting guard who doesn't stop moving off the ball.

Forget about the fact that he's constantly moving, dude does not seem to understand the concept of a straight line.
