Manu Ginobili

Shortly after the San Antonio Spurs’ season-ending 129-115 loss at the hands of the Golden State Warriors, a 39-year-old Manu Ginobili was asked about his future in the NBA, because of course he was. Head coach Gregg Popovich inserted him into the starting lineup, not only suggesting the Spurs had conceded to losing, but recognizing [...]

We have talked a lot about Manu Ginobili in this space over the last year. Stances on whether he’ll retire have changed, not daily, but they’ve moved. The latest: He’s undecided about whether he’ll return to the San Antonio Spurs in 2017-18. Per the San Antonio Express-News’ Jeff McDonald: It is a sentence no true Spurs fan [...]

Did Gregg Popovich really relate what’s left of Manu Ginobili’s NBA career to a bar of soap? You bet he did. Per the San Antonio Express-News‘ Jeff McDonald: [tweet https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN/status/847235484011057152] Well, this is fantastic. It would have been more fantastic if the San Antonio Spurs didn’t blow a 22-point lead against the Golden State Warriors on [...]

Manu Ginobili isn’t sure when he’ll be ready to follow Tim Duncan into retirement. Maybe you thought this season would be it for the 39-year-old guard, that his one-year $14 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs would be his last. He would play out the season, his 15th, then call it a career, just [...]

Remember all that “Manu Ginobili was considering signing with the Philadelphia 76ers if the San Antonio Spurs didn’t up their offer” stuff that was floating around last week? Surely it was a joke. Ginobili wouldn’t ever leave the Spurs. Especially for the Sixers. He would sooner retire. He probably just used Philly for leverage, even [...]

Did Manu Ginobili almost sign with the Philadelphia 76ers? Probably not. Did the Sixers essentially force the Spurs to pay Ginobili $14 million next season by making a lucrative pitch to him in free agency? Probably. That’s the lowdown, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: Sources tell me the reason the Spurs had to go [...]

Manu Ginobili, 38, has seen better days. Much better days. Way better, less painful days. After having surgery to repair a “testicular injury,” the San Antonio Spurs guard is expected to miss at least one month of action. Here’s the team’s full announcement, courtesy of CBS Sports: Manu Ginobili underwent surgery earlier today in San [...]

With Peyton Manning more than likely playing in his last NFL game this Sunday it got me thinking about all of the great NBA superstars of the 2000s era whose careers are quickly coming to an end. Many of the players, people like myself grew up watching and competing for titles and NBA awards, may [...]

Do you want to spend a day hanging with Boris Diaw and Manu Ginobili? Of course you do. Especially now. Ginobili tweeted the following photo ahead of the Thursday night drubbing the San Antonio Spurs handed out to the Phoenix Suns: Foto con nuestros clones en Phoenix esta mañana. With our clones this AM in [...]
