Think they rushed them to get them out a day before Tony's birthday? :lol

Congrats to the Ginobili family!

[robino2001]

Whoops, mytespurs beat me...

[mytespurs]

Whoops, mytespurs beat me...

No problem! Kori or Tim will probably combine the post. I
It's so funny that Manu had time to post after the wife gave birth-:lol
I'm glad he shared that news with his fans!

Can't wait to see pictures!

[robino2001]

I never saw anyone say anything aloud (but I don't read every post on here), but I've long wondered/thought leading up to this how this would effect his play in the conference finals should the Spurs have gotten there... that was a bright side to the Spurs getting knocked out in some way... then he and/or the fans never had to worry about it.

[Cherry]

yeah!!! :chestbump

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Nice!! Just saw it on facebook

never thought about it 'cause I thought the babies were due in June but if they made it, I doubt he would've played tomorrow but then again, knowing Manu, I think he would've hopped on a plane tomorrow morning to be there in time for the game-:lol and as for affecting his play-I'd think it would in a positive way- babies #1 and possible 5th ring #2

[Muser]

Sign them up, R.C!

[Spurs Brazil]

Congrats!!!!!

[jjvalerieD]

Congrats to Manu&the Ginobili family!!!
They almost share the same birthday with Tony~
Apparently the twins didn't want,ha~

[exstatic]

Boys? Spurs Backcourt 2030...feeding the ball into Duncan Jr. in the post. :smokin

[carina_gino20]

Sign them up! Now all we need is Parker Jr. and we'll be all set for 2030. Bowen Jr. is probably already learning defense from his daddy.

[RobSM64]

any word on their contracts?

[manu the best]

... congratulations MANUUUUU ...

[Bukefal]

That's nice!! lol little manu's walking around from now on haha.

A wonderful consolation prize for missing out on the WCF.

Congrats Manu and family... were they already drafted?

When pics are coming?

[Tp9gospursgo]

Congrats to Manu and his wife. Hoping to see a couple more Ginobili's in Spurs uniforms in 20 years or so :king

[roycrikside]

I saw a tweet where he wrote he changed his first diaper today. He was a natural at it since playing with Mason the whole year gave him a lot of experience dealing with a whiny uncoordinated brat who stinks.

[tah]

Congrats to Manu and his wife!! He's going to make such a good dad!

[carina_gino20]

So once they are old enough, will they play for the US or the Argentine national team?

[mytespurs]

I saw a tweet where he wrote he changed his first diaper today. He was a natural at it since playing with Mason the whole year gave him a lot of experience dealing with a whiny uncoordinated brat who stinks.

I saw that tweet...Manu is so funny & so sweet! He's got so many other important things to handle yet he takes time out of his very busy, exciting and probably exhausting day to let us know he changed his 1st diaper today-was it Nicola or Dante's? :toast

[carina_gino20]

Nicola, weighing 5 pounds, 9 ounces, was the first to arrive at 8:10 a.m. Dante, at 6 pounds, 6 ounces, was delivered two minutes later. Both babies were 19 inches long. (http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/spurs/ginobili_wife_are_parents_of_twin_sons_93906199.ht ml)

[jjvalerieD]

are they tall or just normal?
no concept about babies heigh~

[carina_gino20]

are they tall or just normal?
no concept about babies heigh~

I think it's quite normal given that it's a multiple birth and they came out a little earlier.

[jiggy_55]

Congrats to Manu and his wife!

[Stringer_Bell]

Congratulations to the whole Ginobili family! :toast

I gotta say though, not surprised Manu had twins. With the way he splits defenses it was only a matter of time before he split a zygote. Go Manu!

[robino2001]

I think it's quite normal given that it's a multiple birth and they came out a little earlier.

Our little one (~2.5 months now) came out at 19" and was 25th percentile but he was also a few weeks early. I believe the Ginobili twins were also a few weeks (if not a month) early, correct? Considering a great deal of growth occurs at the end of a pregnancy, 19" is on the pretty good side I'd imagine.

[flacura]

any word on their contracts?

+1 :toast

[mytespurs]

+1 :toast

well, we currently have the Lopez twins in the nba; in about 20-22 yrs perhaps everyone will be talking about the Ginobili twins! :king

[skinsfan1]

Congrats to manu and his family

[team-work]

Congrats to the Ginobili family!

In 20+ years, the Ginobili Juniors, Duncan Jr, Parker Jr...will be playing for the Spurs.

Then who will be the coach yelling at the sidelines?

[JamStone]

Is it true Dante's middle name is Pinnochio?

Congratulations, GINOOOOOOBABIIIIIIIESSS!!!!!!

[EVAY]

Wishing the entire family joy, love, health...and a little sleep!

[carina_gino20]

From Manu's Twitter (http://twitter.com/manuginobili/status/14170586595):


What a night last night! Many "interruptions", but SO special! ~ Qué nochecita anoche! Muy interrumpida, pero tan especial!!

Good to know he's still enjoying it. Let's see how long it lasts. :lol

Eh, dont think so, only know of his daughter, shes got to be 20 somethin..
LOL

[duncan228]

Add Bowen's two sons to that team. :hungry:

[ducks]

good thing spurs overpaid him 13 million a year to be able to feed his family

[blkroadrunners]

Add Bowen's two sons to that team. :hungry:

RJ's adopted son will be the cheerleader.

Manu:

Those look like big hands for a tiny tyke-have a feeling they're going to be tall! :king

[ploto]

People always talk about player's kids, but Dave's son is a junior in high school now, and I do not even think he plays basketball anymore at Christian Academy. I know he high jumps.

We know we know... you hate Manu. But this....just pathetic :nope

Manu Twitter: ~ OMG! This is complicated. Easier to play the playoffs! Lol.

[Harry Callahan]

I bet Manu's nose still hurts from the looks of it. I wonder if he'll have to have some work done on it this summer.

Those twins are so tiny. My oldest was born this week in 1999. That was a great week in fact. First kid and first LOB for my favorite team in a three week span.

Damn, Pistons < Spurs ... I just knew you were going to drop a classic photoshop to try and eek out a few more votes to advance. But it was a legit post . . .

Maybe that whole humility thing wasn't you just pulling at the ol' heartstrings for a vote, after all.


Nah! You one slick mofo. :hat

Congrats to Manu Ginobili, whose wife just gave birth to twin boys. When the doctor went to slap the older one, the baby started crying before contact. Then the younger one put his hands in the air and looked around the room real confused, thinking he’d been blamed for the slap...
