Game 4 of the 2017 Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors. Each Manu Ginobili shot attempt and check-in drew an ovation from the San Antonio Spurs faithful who thought it was his final game. The Spurs were down 0-3 and got tossed out of the playoffs. Speculation did not end until July when Ginobili announced he would return for a 16th NBA season.
Well, Game 4 of the 2018 first-round series between the Spurs and Warriors happened Sunday. Ginobili entered potentially his final game at the AT&T Center, with San Antonio also down 0-3 in the series.
