When Manu and Barry were on the floor together, magic happened.
That shit was so much fun to watch. Barry was just as good a passer but less risky than Manu. Safer ballhandler, wouldn't try to split a double team for no reason. Wouldn't try to nutmeg someone for no reason....just got shit done and was actually a better 3 point shooter.
Same skill set, just much less catastrophic and slightly less impactful at the same time, but someone you could be sure wouldn't foul on a breakaway dunk with a 3 pt lead game smarts.
The people that got mad at you didn't know what they were talking about.
He was Manu lite.
He and Boris Diaw are two of the most slept on players I've ever watched.
It's like, if someone you know respects/admires Barry's or Diaw's game, you know they understand the true beauty of the sport.
