Since it’s World Cup time and Gregg Popovich is coaching, it’s a good time to look back at one of our favorite players, former Spurs and Argentinian legend Manu Ginobli.
Part of the legendary Golden Generation in Argentinian basketball, Ginobli was an amazing player.
Like a lot of international players, he came to the NBA with a real fitness game; unlike a lot of international players, he developed a rugged side to his game as you’ll see.
He was just special. He and Tim Duncan and Tony Parker formed a Golden Generation of sorts in San Antonio.
