Manu Ginobili will always be famous in San Antonio, but nothing he does here can ever match his stardom in his homeland of Argentina. Not only is he a favorite son of the Basketball City of Latin America (also known as Bahia Blanca), but perhaps no foreign athlete has drawn more fans into NBA arenas than the Spurs guard.
He’s his own tourist attraction. Fans in Argentina can pay up to $4,500 per person for a round trip to the US to just for a glimpse at Ginobili. The package includes the flight, hotel accommodations, game tickets and meals.
