My favorite part of Manu Ginobili's big block of Kevin Durant is that Ginobili said afterwards that he expected to get dunked on.

Everyone loves to shame players who are dunked on, but if you're playing the best defense you can, you'll get dunked on for sure. Repeatedly.

At the same time, if you're playing the best defense you can, other times you'll fire up your team, stop a great scorer and restore hope to a flagging fan base.

Also, hats off to Kevin Durant for saying that there was no foul on the play. Classy.
