Anyone who was afforded the opportunity to watch the Big Three era of San Antonio Spurs basketball can attest to the sheer willpower and competitive spirit of Manu Ginobili. With the ferocity of a lion and an ethereal mastery of the game, Ginobili carved up the league into his 40’s before retiring this past summer.
Spurs fans hold Ginobili near and dear to their hearts because of his unrelenting dedication to the franchise through the course of his career. Suitors often hoped to pry him from the Alamo City but the bond he held with head coach Gregg Popovich and his teammates enabled Ginobili to stay put with the Spurs for his entire career.
