Obtener el título de la NBA en el 2003 y la medalla de oro en el 2004 definió a Ginóbili como un ganador. Ayer quedó definido como un All Star, un honor que sólo 24 de 400 jugadores pueden tener. Y hablamos de la mejor liga del mundo. Tras semanas de especulaciones sobre quién podía merecer un lugar, los coaches eligieron a Manu. Si uno mira sólo las estadísticas, tal vez pueda pensar que otros merecen un puesto más que él. Pero si cuenta los intangibles, nadie lo merece más. Su energía y competitividad son invalorables para los Spurs, que usualmente se la dan a él cuando necesitan una canasta en momentos decisivos.

En los últimos años ha ganado fama por siempre hacer algo espectacular, pero más allá de jugadas fantásticas, su mejor puntería, defensa y toma de decisiones lo han convertido uno de los mejores guardias de la NBA. Seguramente los Spurs, en la recta final de temporada, se apoyarán en Duncan, su estrella, pero también en los rápidos y siempre móviles hombros de Ginóbili, su nuevo All Star.

Here's a machine translation...

Obtaining the title of the NBA in the 2003 and the medal of gold in the 2004 defined to Ginóbili as a winner. Yesterday remained defined as an All Star, a honor that only 24 of 400 players they can have. And we speak of the best league of the world. After weeks of speculations on who could deserve a place, the coaches chose to Manu. If one sight only the statistics, perhaps can think that other they deserve a position more than he. But if it counts the intangible, nobody deserves him more. Their energy and competitiveness they are invalorables for the Spurs, that usually they are given it to him when they need a basket in decisive moments.

In recent years has earned fame by always do somewhat spectacular, but beyond played fantastic, their better aim, defense and takes of decisions they have converted it one of the better guards of the NBA. Surely the Spurs, in the straight end of season, they will be supported in Duncan, their star, but also in the fast and always mobile shoulders of Ginóbili, their new one All Star.

Of course I have the original in English. I just want to see if what's in the paper in Spanish is what I actually wrote. :)

Obtaining an NBA title in 2003 and the Gold Medal in 2004 defined Ginobili as a player. Yesterday, he was defined as an all star, an honor that only 24 out of 400 players may have. And we are speaking of the best league in the world. After weeks of speculation regarding who could deserve a spot, the coaches have chosen Manu. If you take a look at the stats, you may think others deserve a spot more than he does, but if you take into consideration the intangibles,nobody deserves more. His energy and competitiveness are invaluable to the Spurs, that usually hand him the ball in decisive moments.

In the last few years, he has earned fame for always trying something spectacular, but beyond his stunning moves, his improved shooting, defense and decision making, he has becomed one of the best guards in the NBA. The Come playoff time, the Spurs will probably lean on Duncan, its star, but also in the quick and always moving shoulders of Ginóbili, its new All Star.

Achieving the nba title in 2003 and the gold medal in 2004 defined Ginobili a winner. Yesterday he was defined an all star, an honor that only 24 of 400 players can have. And we are talking about the best league in the world. Three weeks(tres) of speculation over who was worthy of a spot, the coaches selected Manu. If one just looks at the statistics, it's possible to think others are more worthy than him. But if you count the intangibles, no one deserves it more. His energy and competitiveness are invaluable to the Spurs, who usually give him the ball when they need a basket in decisive moments.

In the last few years he's won fame for always doing something spectacular, but more than the fantastic plays, his improved accuracy, defense and decision making have made him one of the best guards in the NBA. Surely the Spurs, in the final stretches of the season, will rely on Duncan, the star, but also on the fast and always mobile shoulders of Ginobili, their new all star.
