Manu Ginobili Expected Back For A 17th Season

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I'm planning some pilgrimage games to see Manu in his last season.

The last of an era still in a Spurs uniform. It will be a sad day when he retires...if he hasn't already. Hopefully Parker can still finish here, even if it's just mentoring off the bench. We've used a 15th roster spot on worse.

There was a study some years ago on longevity. Researchers visited many countries, queried the oldest members, looking for parameters that correlated with longevity.

After looking at a huge variety diet contents, alcohol, exercise or lack of, weather, altitude, water proximity, etc, etc,

the only variable that was common to all the oldies was a "sufficient" amount of quality sleep their entire lives, not just night sleep, but daytime napping.

Another sleep angle:

Some California kids were complaining to Maharishi that TM didn't seem to make any difference, except they were sleeping better, to which Maharishi said something like "You're sleeping is improved because TM is givin you improved waking hours"


How many hours is sufficient Sir?

'Uno Mas Manu' billboard goes up to honor one of San Antonio's most-beloved Spurs

George Salinas, a local injury attorney, has the billboard near Interstate 35 and New Braunfels Avenue under contract for his firm. With media reports swirling about Kawhi Leonard's questionable absence and the Spurs' future, Salinas wanted to step in and remind fans of Ginobili's contributions to the team and community before it's too late.

"I just thought that what was lost in all of that was the twilight of one of our most beloved Spurs, no one was really talking about that," he said. "No one ever wants to see him leave. We've seen he still has some fuel in the tank."

He's under contract. Could he just show up in the training camp?

What does it say?

[Genovaswitness]

He’s saying 20 years ago a big nosed kid from Bahia blanca started his Euro career. He was full of dreams and excited to begin his European career. Then posts a pic of him 20 years ago :(

Thanks. Maybe he's just marveling that two decades have passed, not doing a career reflective because he's going to retire.


We can hope anyway.

Np. Fingers crossed...he can still produce, his locker room presence is beyond needed at this transition point, my favorite player and a ton of others’ too.

[Since89]

He should have retired before the 2013 season.

What did he do after 2012? He played for Heat in the 2013 finals.

And here comes TheGreatShit once again. Shouldn’t you be helping Dafoom with ass wiping duties in K-Y?

[Pocho La Pantera]

[SpursDynasty85]

Wow. this forum turns so amateur with comments like the ones above.

Hope this guy come back for one more year but like Duncan before him, he may not want that silly farewell tour Kobe had. No way anyone can expect him to play 2 more years. Maybe retire and just be an assistant for a year I would still be ecstatic.

[BackHome]

Most of us love Manu and want him back just a few idiots like the TheGreatSHIT and Hater just beaing usual Trolls just ignore them.

[Keepin' it real]

Come on. Trolls aside, there are a lot of us who love Manu, but it's time to go separate ways.

[timvp]

One more year, Manu.

Please.

[BillMc]

One more year, Manu.

Please.

+1 billion

[Uriel]

I remember the Express-News came out with a report earlier this summer that Kawhi was expected to sign a contract extension. If Manu retires, this would be the second time they gave Spurs fans false hope.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

I'm half and half. I still see the desire and the passion for the game, but his body just doesnt do what his mind wants him to do anymore. He lays the ball up now by barely getting past scrubs who a young Manu would demolish in a blink by slamming on them. It's sad some days to see him try and play and realize he just can't. While other days hes just amazing. I know its old age, but I dont want the wheels to fall off like we saw when timmy retired (limping and barely able to walk never mind run).

[spurs10]

One more year, Manu.

Please. :bobo


+1 billion :bobo

[Since89]

I'd love to be his Eskimo brother. Dude has been done for a long time tho. Loyalty to crap and past it players is the reason The Spurs lost their FRANCHISE player.

[BackHome]

Fuck K-Y dude vagina just bleeds to much

[Phenomanul]

Spurs lost their Franchise player due to the subversive meddling of outside forces beyond the Spurs' Organization control (Uncle Dennis' personal selfishness, and the Sutton Brothers' personal greed). TBH they should be penalized but the NBA will simply look the other way.

[XDT76]

I hope that he could be back, not as a regular rotation player but more on a mentor role and occassionally adsorb couple of minutes at SF. There is too many young players this year. He could sub into the second unit on nights where the team is too excited or overrun by opponent to calm them down and provide a stabilising effect

[objective]

Hope he comes back, he might be the best defensive option at small forward

[MaNu4Tres]

Lonnie probably.

I think Manu will retire. It's almost September already, he's tweeting pictures about where his career started 20 years ago, and he'll still get paid 2.5 mil by the Spurs next year.

[TheGreatYacht]

He's a walking net negative on both sides of the court.

:lmao at best defensive anything

:lmao at Mike Finger of the Express-News and his sources

[BackHome]

Once again how is TheGreatSHIT leaving his boy Daboom with K-Y ass wiping duties all the time. Dude you need to help out your bro and just move to Toronto full time.

why is SA media so fucking garbage. EN just recycles NYT articles. orsborn and mcdonald never say anything of substance, PATFO fluffers. jabari young just does not fit in and tried and failed to hitch his wagon to the mute. we need some homegrown sports writers...there's gotta be some UT, TXST, trinity, incarnate word, UTSA kids out there wanting a job.......

Agreed - some guy from Philly has no business in San Antonio working for the SAEN. He had an agenda all along. Not a good person. The paper hired some girl from California who couldn't get back to CA soon enough. Went back to the northern CA s***hole instead of the southern CA s***hole.

[gambit1990]

"I was actually with and had the actual chance to play with him (Ginobili) in San Antonio," said the co-captain of the BIG3's 3’s Company. "There's not enough to describe Manu."

Ginobili is reportedly leaning towards retirement after 16 NBA seasons. With opening day of training camp just weeks away, an official decision will come soon as to Manu's NBA future.

But whether or not this is it for the 4-time NBA champion, he has left a huge mark on the franchise, the league and on Gooden who simply calls him a "winner".

"I would say a magician, a winner and tough as nails," said Gooden when asked to describe Ginobili.

Said Gooden, "Being able to see the things he could do in such a short period of time, I know why he will be a future Hall of Famer."

[davi78239]

I'm guessing they've already met and he's made his decision. Tomorrow will be a sad day. Just like Tim, happened on a Monday. My bet.

[Canyonero]

He will either retire or continue playing imho.

[Play Boban]

He will either retire or continue playing imho.

Strongly agree.

Yeah but its different, Tim blew his good leg.

[spurs1990]

Selfishly I would have wanted an announcement before football has gotten into full swing so he'd get more national focus.

....still hoping for uno mas from MG. Would be great to see him make plays with the new cast Derozan, White, and Walker.

[spurs10]

Yep thinking tomorrow. Hoping DeRozan's words might make him consider staying. Sure hope so.

[cjw]

He will either retire or continue playing imho.

Unlike Kawhi, this is true

[BillMc]

So SA News pegged the whole "Manu coming back" and "Kawhi will sign an extension" thing. Well done local journalists.
