Senior Tyler Wideman, redshirt sophomore Sean McDermott and team manager Davis Furman had just 20 minutes to find ice cream in Valencia, Spain. Several sand sculptures diverted their attention, so the Butler basketball buddies stopped to snap some photos. Wideman and Furman looked back and noticed a lanky gentleman strolling the boardwalk.

Manu Ginobili, the legendary San Antonio Spur, approached the two seniors and redshirt sophomore.
