Manu Ginobili‘s jersey retirement in San Antonio on Thursday night was beautiful and a long time coming. The whole gang was there: Manu, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Gregg Popovich. Personally, I think the Spurs are the best franchise in all of sports. They’re a blueprint to success and I think every NBA team should model themselves after them.
The Utah Jazz are in the midst of doing that. They play a beautiful style of basketball — unselfish and together. They also could follow in the Spurs footsteps as far as having a player that was counted out end up having their jersey retired.
