Manu Ginobili closed the book on his NBA career Monday with his retirement announcement. All 16 seasons came with the San Antonio Spurs, a career that began in the 2002-03 season and resulted in four championships and other accolades along the way.
2017-18, of course, became Ginobili’s swan song. He averaged 20 minutes per game, 8.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists on this 47-win team; all of it came through a season of adversity, including the Kawhi Leonard saga and injuries that hit most of the roster.
Despite this, the Spurs made the postseason.
