While most people dream of and (hopefully) fulfill their bucket list items, teeming with ‘normal’ activities, such as travel, spending time with grandchildren, and finding alternate pursuits to enhance their quality of life, and accomplishing them with aplomb, one of my primary items was to be there in-person for Mr. Emanuel David Ginobili’s Hall of Fame Enshrinement weekend. This weekend of a lifetime was everything I had hoped for and much more for this forever fan of the association and my beloved Spurs.
I remained wistful throughout the days in New England about how little I truly appreciated the span of years that Manu graced our lives.
