I pretended I wasn’t crying last month when Manu Ginobili walked off the AT&T Center court as the crowd chanted his name.
I was sitting on a couch between two people who were not Spurs fans -- people who would have been absolutely uncomfortable with someone silently sobbing between them. But I couldn’t help it, and after a while the part of me that’s still 10 years old wound up quiet-crying in the kitchen.
The chants made me miss San Antonio and at the same time realize my favorite player could retire in a month.
