Given his history of injuries and erratic performances in the playoffs, Ginobili was not sure the Spurs wanted him back. It took Spurs General Manager R. C. Buford less than six minutes on July 1 when the market opened to tell Ginobili that he was wanted and needed.
“That’s all I wanted to hear,” said Ginobili, who signed a two-year, $14.5 million deal. And Ginobili truly appears to be back.
He had played in three of the team’s four preseason games through Thursday, averaging just over 20 minutes, 12 points, 3.7 assists and 2.7 steals. He is once again charging headfirst for layups and dunks, and firing passes to teammates — and occasionally to unsuspecting fans in the first few rows.
“To me, Manu was the best,” said swingman Marco Belinelli, who signed with the Spurs this summer. “This guy can do everything, in Europe and America.”
