Manu Ginobili will try to lead Argentina to a third Olympic basketball medal in four Games, headlining the 12-man roster announced Saturday.
Ginobili, 38 and a national-team player since 1998, was one of four notable members of the 2004 Olympic champion team that made Argentina’s squad for Rio. The others are Andres Nocioni and Luis Scola, both 36, and Carlos Delfino, who is 33.
Ginobili missed the 2013 FIBA Americas, 2014 FIBA World Cup and 2015 FIBA Americas and reportedly said in 2014, “I can say for almost certain, 98 percent, that I won’t play any more [for Argentina].
