Manu Ginobili Describes Why He Returned: “The Fire Is Still Burning”

Manu Ginobili couldn’t bring himself to watch the NBA playoffs immediately after the San Antonio Spurs lost their first-round series to the Los Angeles Clippers.

But once he turned on the NBA Finals, Ginobili started to feel the itch to come back for his 14th NBA season.

In Argentinian newspaper, La Nacion, the 37-year-old explained why he’ll return to the San Antonio Spurs. Ginobili wrote:

“I didn’t watch the second round of playoffs, nor the Conference finals. I was still I bit hurt. Then, when I watched the finals. I missed it a little.
