Manu Ginóbili retires: goodbye to one of the biggest myths in the world basketball

Manu Ginobili has affirmed what has been considered as lately. After 23 seasons as an expert and 16 in the NBA, the Argentine, 41, has declared his retirement of the expert ball through a message in informal communities.

Ginobili himself confirmed his goodbye with the following message in which he thanked all the support received during his career: "With a great mixture of emotions I tell you that I decided to retire from basketball HUGE GRATITUDE for my family, friends, colleagues, DTs, staff , amateurs and all those who were part of my life in these 23 years, it was a fabulous trip that exceeded any kind of dream, THANK YOU! ".

The escort of Bahía Blanca was reflecting on his farewell after his last season. In San Antonio they planned to have the ability to count on Argentina one more season to continue demonstrating their class in the courts. Be that as it may, at last it has progressively measured the age and the physical request that have ended with its withdrawal.

The best Argentine player in history closes a vocation charged with progress after 23 years as an expert. Ginobili puts an end to his profession with four rings of the NBA, a Euroleague, a world silver, a gold and an Olympic bronze. In addition, in the individual field, the escort has been two times better election, better Sixth Man of the NBA, MVP of the Finals of the Euroleague and twice MVP of the Italian alliance. Ginobili has come to meet his "father" Gregg Popovich and after a long discussion with the main mentor he met in the NBA, he declared his goal of hanging up his boots forever. With the withdrawal of the Argentine ended an incredible group like the Spurs of the two most recent decades.

A group that with Ginobili, Duncan and Tony Parker on the court and with Pops in the seat won four rings and, most importantly, caught a style of play that has made a school in the NBA. A summary of the achievements that does not fully reflect each one of them has dealt with the escort, which has discovered how to be in the stature of Maradona or Messi in a nation like football like Argentina.
