As important as the tournament is to (Manu) Ginobili, Luis Scola (Houston Rockets) Andres Nocioni, Carlos Delfino (Milwaukee Bucks) and Fabricio Oberto (Portland Trail Blazers), the lockout never is far from their thoughts.
“Of course we all pay attention to what is happening with the lockout,” Ginobili said. “We get updates. We talk about it. We are all worried. We don’t want this to happen, but we know every decade there is a chance this can happen.
“We understand it is a huge business and everyone wants to take care of their part. So we are just here now thinking about this (tournament), and once it is over, we will start to be more concerned about what is going on in the NBA.”
Ginobili expressed regret that the lockout has the potential to interrupt the love affair between San Antonians and the Spurs.
“I think it is a pity,” he said. “I am with such a wonderful organization with an amazing fan base. I’d really love to go back and start training camp and be with all the guys. Hopefully, it is a one-time thing and is not going to happen again in a few years.
