The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has officially named Manu Ginobili a finalist for the Class of 2022.
The San Antonio Spurs selected Ginobili with the 57th pick in the second round of the 1999 NBA Draft. And the Argentinian shooting guard instantly became one of the best investments in franchise history.
Despite arriving stateside as a relative unknown among casual basketball fans, the six-six swingman became a household name as he took home a Sixth Man of the Year Award and earned two All-Star nods.
Ginobili was an invaluable part of the Spurs securing four titles from 2003 to 2014.
