Thanks Timmy


His greatest accomplishment had nothing to do with Timmy.

Over the past 15 years, I don't know if there's a player who made me jump up either in excitement, frustration, or amazement more often in the playoffs than Manu.

I'll really miss watching him.

Every spurs fan would say the exact same thing.

I assume you mean toppling Team USA.

If I have another son, there's actually a good chance we name him Emmanuel

How much of a factor was Tony not being there in his decision?

It's a glorious day. Manu is the one player i wouldn't cheer for even if the Mavs picked him up.

Sorry T Bird.

Of all the championships, gold medal and personal accolades Ginobli has won...knocking a bat clean out of the air will always be his greatest accomplishment in my eyes. Goat.

I'm home now so I can cry

quote:

“You can’t fricking trade Manu Ginobili. He’s Manu Ginobili!” Then he took a big breath. Then he yelled, “HE’S MANU GINOBILI!”


"He's Manu Ginobili."

Nuff said

Guys like him are a dying breed. A whole fan base realizes the end of this era. It’s a sad day, but a capper to an extraordinary career.

Many stars today will hang it up, and not have entire cities feeling sad. Too many times a star switches teams, chases a ring elsewhere, morphs into the norm of a millionaire athlete. Timmy. Manu. Those guys didn’t do that.

Sad day for me. My favorite of the big 3.

Down 1, 2 or 3 it didn’t matter. At the end of the game, give Manu the ball. I will ride or die with Manu any night of the week.

It was crazy listening to sports talk radio on the way home yesterday, people were choking up calling into the shows

Never thought I'd see a city love an athlete more than we all loved (still love) The Admiral. But even David Robinson himself donned Manu's jersey regularly and with pride. Ginobili is the most beloved Spur ever, bar none.
