The NBA Reacts to Manu Ginobili Announcing his Retirement
A few days ago, it was reported that Manu Ginobili was strongly pondering retirement.
Yesterday, it happened.
Manu Ginobili announced his retirement from the NBA. A four-time NBA champion, a two-time All-Star, an Olympic gold medalist, NBA Sixth Man of the Year, and the king of the Euro-step, Ginobili will go down as one of the greatest international players to ever step foot on an NBA court.
In light of his retirement, the entire NBA family came together to honour the San Antonio Spurs great.

Hell of a career @manuginobili . One of the best to ever do it. Pick and roll genius. Euro-step king. Hated trying to force you right in the pnr knowing you would still snake back to the left hand. I’ve borrowed a lot of your moves and set-ups. The game will miss you !
