Amidst the production from the San Antonio Spurs’ youngest players, there was a battle between two of the NBA’s oldest players: Manu Ginobili (40) and Vince Carter (41). It was a rare treat, and something that may not happen again.
On the same night, head coach Gregg Popovich, who was already one of the NBA’s oldest coaches, turned 69 years old. So, the court was full of names that have spent years in the league and made an impact, something that continues to this day.
After the game, Popovich spoke to the media about Ginobili and Carter, praising both.
