Manu Ginobli and James Harden Scoring Series | Battle of the NBA Sixth Man | Basketball Drills | Tim Springer

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

The NBA’s two most efficient Sixth Men have been going head to head the last couple days in San Antonio in which has been the most exciting series in this season’s NBA Playoffs. This year’s Sixth Man of the Year, James Harden is in his third season at 22. Manu Ginobili, the winner of the award during the 2007-2008 season, is at the end of his career at 34, but his impact on his team equals that of James Harden.

Manu Ginobili and James Harden are mirror images in many basketball skills. They have the ability to get under their opponent’s skin. They are both talented scorers and producers off the bench. They are both left handed shooters that have the same offensive and defensive skills. Ginobili is a prime-time player for the Argentinian olympic team and James Harden is a finalist for the US Olympic team.

Tim Springer is one of our Men’s Basketball HoopScoop Contributors. His speciality is Skill Development. Today, we have a Manu Ginobli /James Harden Scoring Series for you today. I hope that you enjoy.

Since arriving in San Antonio, Coach Springer has helped several
Middle school and high school programs reach the district finals. He is
currently the Girls Varsity Basketball Coach at Castle Hills First
Baptist School. In 2011, Coach Springer led the CH Eagles to the Tapps
1A Regionals and was nominated for 1A Coach of the Year.

He has worked with D1, international and WNBA players.
