Just seems like he is in his 8th year or so.

Kind of hard to believe to me.

it's because you've been seeing this kid play into June every single year he's been in the league.

wonder what the last losing team he's been on was?

kid is a winner and a match up nightmare

remember his block on reggie miller in the playoffs.

Like all the Detroit starters- Prince has 'it', you can't coach what they all have , that's why they win, they are such a well drilled team .

If I recall he never missed a game due to injury. Neither college nor as a pro. Startad all games in last four years. Pretty impressive.

He NEVER takes a bad shot either. Understand his game and is always in control. Versatile - could start for any NBA team. He going to play for US team? Exact kind of guy they need

He's the Manu of Detroit...both these guys are winning players, both scrappy, annoying if you're on the other team.

He doesn't have half the offensive game that Ginobili does. But he's a better defensive player.

Ginobili's also an All-Star; Prince is a good fit on a winning team that has no less than three better offensive options. He knows his role and doesn't try to do too much.

No he isn't the offensive player Manu is, they're both winners though and that was my point 'Manu of Detroit' both step it up in the playoffs, both will annoy you if you're on the other side, both players play within the team concept, very similar and are huge in the clutch when it counts most.

There's not a hole lot of difference between them offensively, Manu appears to be the better scorer and shooter, but his overall stats aren't much better....like I said very similar.

Prince every bit as important to his team as Ginobli is his, if not even moreso.

Ever since the announcement of him on the USA team he has been for shit. Lebron really wearing him out physically, mentally and emotionally.

Prince is good, Ginobli's impact far superior. First of all remember Manu might be the winning basketball player in the world the last 5 years, especially if he get his third NBA ring to compliment an Olymp Gold and a WBC Gold.

Easy way to plays Spurs second haves- They almost always win when Manu is energenic and playing good. Lay the h/t points when hes on like that

Ginobli kind of streaky though. What Prince provides is there every night on defense. He just don't have a good matchup on offense in this particular series as bron has the size to prevent the post up game of Prince. Love Ginobli's game though don't get me wrong.

He might not have half the offensive game (as you say) but he scores the same amount basically and shoots a similar percentage (even from 3 pt range)
