San Antonio Spurs: Manu Ginobili hosts final media session

“I came here very excited, fulfilling a dream and knowing that I had a lot of things to improve on.”

Shooting guard Manu Ginobili arrived in San Antonio in 2002, three years after he was selected with the 57th pick in the 1999 NBA Draft, and built one of the most successful international careers in the history of the game.

After announcing his retirement on August 27, Manu Ginobili held his final press conference Saturday morning at the Spurs practice facility. For the four-time champion, the idea of working through another season bared too much of a physical burden on the 41-year-old.
