"Tony Parker understood that something was wrong with Manu Ginobili.

But he had no conception that Ginobili was playing with what amounted to a broken right arm during the playoffs.

"It's hard to believe," Parker said about Ginobili's gutty display in the playoffs. "Obviously, you could see he was a little bit hurt. He wasn't 100 percent, but I didn't know he was that bad."

Ginobili was involved in a grinding collision between Tim Duncan and Phoenix's Grant Hill in the final regular-season game on April 13. After that, Ginobili played the final five games of the playoffs with a fractured ulna, one of the two long bones running from his wrist to elbow."
