Manu jersey retirement night

[phxspurfan]

Anyone have an idea when this will happen? Thoughts on if it will be this year? TD's was pretty quick after he retired.

[TimmyBuckets]

I was on PtR and someone said it could happen when TP and Charlotte come to SA. That makes sense to me.

[phxspurfan]

I was on PtR and someone said it could happen when TP and Charlotte come to SA. That makes sense to me.

nice. I hope they announce it well before hand so I can buy my plane tickets cheap.

[John B]

Still hoping he comes back :cry

[phxspurfan]

Still hoping he comes back :cry

wasn't he on the HEB retirement plane in a robe? Pretty sure that's official :drunk

[BillMc]

I was on PtR and someone said it could happen when TP and Charlotte come to SA. That makes sense to me.

Yeah, I'd like to see that. Hornets visit on Jan 14

[hater]

Boring

[urunobili]

Damn I'm even thinking I should risk buying a trip and tickets for January 14th trying to make it then too...

San Antonio should have a statue of the big three with Pop TBH

[JeffDuncan]

I guess the city is going to move that cenotaph that's close to the Alamo, so that would be a good spot for it.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Will definitely fly down to SA for this

[bklynspursfan]

[Gunz]

March 28th against the Cavs

[Immortal Spur]

Gonna try and be there

[Mirrornick]

1057304662251134976

They must have read this thread lol

[phxspurfan]

Yeah that was fast lol

[spursfan09]

So Tp won’t be there?

[bklynspursfan]

So Tp won’t be there?

They play the Spurs on the 26th in Charlotte, then are off until the 29th when they're in LA. He'll have time (if granted) to be there

[TXstbobcat]

So Tp won’t be there?

It is possible that Parker could be there that night as the Hornets do not have a game that day.

[NASpurs]

Would had thought it would had been against the Heat, his other team. :stirpot:

[DJR210]

It's gonna be on March 28th..

[TDomination]

lol thats funny timing. glad they announced it with time.

[Das Texan]

Gotta sell tickets to that game somehow!

From a business standpoint doing it when TP is in town would have been moronic.

[spurs10]

Anyone have an idea when this will happen? Thoughts on if it will be this year? TD's was pretty quick after he retired. The timing of this announcement was pretty funny. I read this and went to the Spurs page and it was front and center. I've got tickets and can't wait. Gonna be a fun night!!
:flag:

[urunobili]

Will try to plan a trip for the night. Dope that we have a date set.

[JPB]

Will Stephen Jackson be there ?

[JPB]

Oh, and don't forget to add two giant balls on the jersey down there.

[BillMc]

It is possible that Parker could be there that night as the Hornets do not have a game that day.

But will Kawhi be there?

[BillMc]

You know they'll include that dunk in the 2014 Finals in his highlight video.

And hopefully the bat slappin'

[baseline bum]

I was on PtR and someone said it could happen when TP and Charlotte come to SA. That makes sense to me.

Good, so Parker won't pass him the mic during the ceremony. Probably would have made even more sense to have it when LA came to town so he could fumble it away to LeBron though tbh.

[hater]

Id rather watch paint dry tbqh

[Canyonero]

I'm not crying, you are :cry:cry:cry

[StinkyWeezleteats]

Id rather watch paint dry tbqh

[K...]

I wonder if they're getting oberto, scola, etc to come.

[TXstbobcat]

But will Kawhi be there?

:lol He would have to get permission from his uncle.

[FkLA]

I'll be there. I might cry when the Manu chant breaks out, tbh. :cry

[hater]

They had them join the caravan

[Budkin]

That is literally my birthday and my wife and I just got tickets and are coming down from Austin. Can't wait!

[Dex]

Damn, those ticket prices went up fast.

Still not an event to miss. Just picked up my pair.

[FlAVaK]

But will Kawhi be there?

He is scheduled to be hiding in NY, again :spin

[spurs10]

That is literally my birthday and my wife and I just got tickets and are coming down from Austin. Can't wait! What a cool way to spend your birthday! :bobo


Damn, those ticket prices went up fast.

Still not an event to miss. Just picked up my pair. Right on! :bobo

[spurs10]

But will Kawhi be there? He should be so he can see what it's like to be honored and revered by people. I doubt he'd get it though. :rolleyes

[JPB]

And dat foul on Dirk tbh.

[DAF86]

Oh, and don't forget to add two giant balls on the jersey down there.

Just one, tbh.

[DAF86]

Oh, and this might be a good time to make my first trip to San Antonio, tbh.

[diego]

I read today the international Olympic committee commissioned an Argentine director to do a documentary about the golden generation, no release date though it's been in production for a while already.. don't know about the others but almost guaranteed that oberto will be there for the ceremony

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Oh, and this might be a good time to make my first trip to San Antonio, tbh.

lemme know where you'll be sitting so i can some see you and tell you to get the eff out

[phxspurfan]

Holy Jesus these ticket prices. standard admission 250 each for upper bowl?!

[phxspurfan]

see you guys in the upper bowl.

[diego]

https://www.olympic.org/news/olympic-channel-presents-the-golden-generation-the-story-behind-argentina-s-iconic-victory-in-men-s-basketball-at-athens-2004

Apparently its out / releasing now depending where you are..

[SpurPadre]

It's not happening because Manu will come back in February to judge the living and the dead, tbh.

[phxspurfan]

San Antonio should have a statue of the big three with Pop TBH

Don't forget Bowen karate kicking Wally Sczerbiak or sliding his foot under Ray Allen in the background...

[FkLA]

Holy Jesus these ticket prices. standard admission 250 each for upper bowl?!

Where are you looking? Cheapest ticket is $144 on Stubhub and I don't think the Spurs do general admission for any sections.

[hater]

$144 to watch that shitshow? :lmao

[DAF86]

You want to see some of me?

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

You want to see some of me?

you got that right sweetheart

[DAF86]

Ok.

[Old School 44]

So Tp won’t be there?
It's in Brent Barry's contract that Tony can't be at the AT&T for anything other that Charlotte games.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Oh, and this might be a good time to make my first trip to San Antonio, tbh.

Same here, but holy hell are these ticket prices insane :(

[Spur|n|Austin]

I’ll be there!

[spursfan09]

Screw Brent Barry TBH.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

well deserved! a true champion and joining a select list of players who stayed with the same team their entire careers

[Dhbsr555]

Definitely going to this game

[HarlemHeat37]

Just copped a pair of tickets, $1200 wtf? I thought Spurs games were cheap:lol

[spurs10]

That is literally my birthday and my wife and I just got tickets and are coming down from Austin. Can't wait!


Just copped a pair of tickets, $1200 wtf? I thought Spurs games were cheap:lol I hope they're good ones! I'd say tickets to this night are going to be as much as a Finals ticket. I'll be there, can't wait!

[Spurtacular]

Manu should unretire for a night and then retire the jersey after the game. Just saying....

[Millennial_Messiah]

I guess the city is going to move that cenotaph that's close to the Alamo, so that would be a good spot for it.

It's more historically significant than the Alamo, imo.

[phxspurfan]

Just copped a pair of tickets, $1200 wtf? I thought Spurs games were cheap:lol

Them some nice ass tix my dude. I'll be cheering from like 206 or whatever, trying to catch me a XXXL t shirt

[phxspurfan]

I hope they're good ones! I'd say tickets to this night are going to be as much as a Finals ticket. I'll be there, can't wait!

This guy won more and arguably was more important to the game than Duncan. Also will have more worldwide attention on this night than Duncan did on his. You'll be bidding against rich (and poor?) Argentinians, Italians and Americans for these tix if you haven't bought yet. Book it

[phxspurfan]

Will the Spurs lose by 20 in front of all their old Argie fans?

[Spur|n|Austin]

Will the Spurs lose by 20 in front of all their old Argie fans?

To the Cavs? :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Very tempted to fly in from Toronto for this.

[phxspurfan]

To the Cavs? :lol

http://www.nba.com/teams/cavaliers

At full strength, the Cavs have a better team than the 2 players Spurs:


KLove
Rodney Hood
Korver
JR Smith
Clarkson
Nance
Zizic
Sexton
Channing Frye
George Hill
Osman


Hell, Osman, their lowest skilled rotation player, would likely be a starter over any of our swingmen aside from DeRozan.

[phxspurfan]

Very tempted to fly in from Toronto for this.

You should if you're an old school Spurs fan. I'm flying in and flew in for TD's. Will fly in for TPs if I can as well (when he retires at 45)

[JPB]

So he can have one last couple of TOs tbh.

Been a fan since ‘95

Ticket prices are insane but Ginobili is my favourite athlete of all time

[spurs10]

Been a fan since ‘95

Ticket prices are insane but Ginobili is my favourite athlete of all time Gotta do it! The other night when he showed up with his kids, the people went berserk when they showed him on the screen. He was visibly moved because the crowd wouldn't stop cheering.

[phxspurfan]

He could have left so many times but stayed true to SA. Unlike recent fake injured jerks

The Admiral was there too. Was such a fun game to go to that night!!!!

[JPB]

Second to last time we'll see Tim, Manu and Tony on the same court. Last will be for TP's jersey and will be in some fashion the ultimate celebration of the Big 3.

Would be fitting Dave,Tim, TP and Manu jerseys were close to each others in the same order they arrived in SA.

Big 3 :cry

Pop will likely also be retired in some way. Then perhaps a statue.
















...In Seattle :lol

[spurs10]

The Admiral was there too. Was such a fun game to go to that night!!!! Hell yeah!!! Everyone went wild when they showed The Admiral as well. Yeah that night was a great way to celebrate the Spurs, a new start and a new season....... and leave that drama queen horror story behind.

[JPB]

Pop will likely also be retired in some way. Then perhaps a statue.

l

Fuck, I'd like to see that. Dave, Tim, Manu, TP, Sean, Danny, Scola, Malik, AJ, Kerr, Horry, Tiago... coming to celebrate Pop.

[TMTTRIO]

With his retirement night approaching they are starting to release videos of his teammates talking about him. I wonder if Boris will be there?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Very excited to be going to this game.

He was my favourite athlete of all time

[SpurPadre]

They better give him the red carpet treatment, tbh. And I mean 5x the reception TP got.

[GreekSpursfan]

Congrats to anyone who's going to this game.

[FkLA]

I'm kind of ashamed that I'm a bigger Manu fan than all of you, and that my first-born pug is named after him yet I'm not going.

[spurs10]

Congrats to anyone who's going to this game. Thanks man, wherever you are it's all the same. Congrats to all of us for Manu playing for us!

Viva Manu!

[spurs10]

Very excited to be going to this game.

He was my favourite athlete of all time Yeah...me too!

With Manu....it's going to be insane. I was at a game recently and the crowd went bonkers when they showed him on the screen.

[alamo50]

Giving out those cheap ass hats is pathetic.
Everybody should be getting a brand new Manu bobblehead of him catching the bat (on a spring).

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Was hoping for a bobble head as well

[spurs10]

Giving out those cheap ass hats is pathetic.
Everybody should be getting a brand new Manu bobblehead of him catching the bat (on a spring). Doubt it's the team or the NBA doing the hats, probably an HEB promotion. All the best t-shirts I have gotten are usually a promo thIng for HEB and I can't find them in the Spurs store once they turn to shreds after repeated wear. I like the bobble-heads too though.

[Chucho]

I think that hat is sick. I'd wear it and I dont wear hats often, let one snap backs.

[spurs10]

With his retirement night approaching they are starting to release videos of his teammates talking about him. I wonder if Boris will be there?

https://youtu.be/9G6HwLB7dbE

https://youtu.be/27_cLIJSnQg Boris was there for TP's return game and they never acknowledged him or showed him on the camera. It was too bad the fans didn't get a chance to welcome him!

[spurs10]

I hope no one is chopping onions when they watch those videos dedicated to Manu!

[phxspurfan]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D1EyYnqXgAQPmYH.jpg

Not big on the hat but I’ll wear it that night ofc.


I wish I still had my Manu Argentina jersey from 05

[Mikeanaro]

GRACHIAS MANOO!

[Canyonero]

110% chance I'll be crying like a little bitch tbh

[Budkin]

I'll be there too, as the fates would have it, this game is falling on my actual birthday. Couldn't ask for a better gift!

[spurs10]

That´s freakin´ awesome bro.

[Dverde]

I think they should hang his jersey separate of the others and hang it above the home bench.

[SASdynasty!]

They better give him the red carpet treatment, tbh. And I mean 5x the reception TP got.
5500 less points
3000 less assists
1 less FMVP
= 5x the reception :rollin

[SpurPadre]

5500 less points
3000 less assists
1 less FMVP

And 10x the better man. He was robbed of FMVP in '05 too. Also, he didn't fuck a teammate's wife.

[GusT15]

On Parker's defense,Manu was married to an actual housewife who was always there for him,waiting at home to bring him his slippers and cook him dinner.

Tony was married to a Hollywood star who only played a desperate housewife on TV.

If someone had written and directed a movie,starring Tony,a beautiful young man from Paris,France,living and working half way around the world in Texas...
Everything in his life is seemingly perfect... But..his wife is never around... He misses her... He feels alone.. And then he meets Erin..

Half of you motherfuckers would be cheering for Tony to screw Erin's brains out before the movie had even reached the halfway mark..

It's all about perspective!
Also,queue the blue font.

[DAF86]

https://twitter.com/spurs/status/1108163225101758464

Probably the most underrated of Manu's skills: supernatural hand-eye coordination.

[BSfromTX]

The offensive put back against dallas in the Malik rose video is my most memorable highlight.... I can’t recall seeing it in any of his highlights, ive just always remembered from that game. Those kinds of plays made him my favorite sports player ever

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That one game against the Suns where he went off for 48 was beyond incredible. Marion hits a 3 at the buzzer to force OT and the Spurs go on to win anyway thanks to Ginobili.

Weel, OK, but he was an asshole...I mean, sure SA has the ugliest fattest asses in Texas, still he could have any slavic-looking-model-like age 20something just snapping two fingers...
No need to go for a teammate's wife. If Barry was from a different breed and borough, TP would have been shot...He wouldn't even dream of going near Stephen jackson girlfriend.

In his defense, we can only argue that he is French: everybody in France cheats and has at least one mistress :D

A team is a family.

The general rule is that you don't have to hit on another man's woman cause there are more women than men on this planet so you don't have to be a dick towards another dude.

But you don't do shit like that towards a family member.

I dunno what happened afterwards,if he apologized at some point,if he understood how much of a dick move it was,those things generally get resolved behind closed doors.And if the other side of that whole clusterfuck wasn't a Hollywood star with TMZ leeches following her around it probably wouldn't have gone public.

And i know TP was just 25 at that time and you don't get every decision right at that point of your life,but i just hope now that he has passed 35 with wife and kids of his own,he gets it.

[benfti]

Obviously Parker will be the next jersey retirement. But could we see anyone in the near future get theirs retired?

I wouldn’t be shocked if Patty has his retired.

Pop liked Collison getting his number retired in OKC. Atleast you could argue Patty helped win a championship.

Does LDN get his number retired?

Pretty much a lock TP is getting his up there.

no question

I don't think Patty should get it, maybe Danny Green... maybe?

No one else should get it after this one besides Parker

That’s it for now

[Dex]

So the original tickets I thought I had were cancelled by the StubHub seller...probably so he could sell them for like twice what I "bought" them for.

And I was sad. :(

But yesterday I found out a friend who helps with Spurs social media stuff was able to get me 2 tickets as a belated birthday gift.

And now I am happy again. :)

Gonna be one hell of a night.

I will always appreciate what he did for the Spurs team mates, the city, and the world of basketball. Never anyone like him in bb skills or will to win in San Antonio. I was privileged to see that drive in the finals against the Heat from a seat behind the basket and was absolutely astounded at his heart and determination to go through the whole Heat team if necessary. That play broke their will and their hearts. It was over. It will be in my memories of Manu as the final statement of greatness.

I've had his picture as a Jedi Knight as my avatar for so many years I can't even remember when I put it up. But I feel his "Force" will be with him--and inspire Spurs fans--forever.

So the original tickets I thought I had were cancelled by the StubHub seller...probably so he could sell them for like twice what I "bought" them for.

And I was sad. :(

But yesterday I found out a friend who helps with Spurs social media stuff was able to get me 2 tickets as a belated birthday gift.

And now I am happy again. :)

Gonna be one hell of a night.

Awesome! :tu

[davidbowie]

damn all these tribute vids have been amazing. glad the spurs are doing so much leading up to the event. i cant wait til thursday

226. Not the greatest seats, but being in the building is all that matters to me...and free is free!

One of the five best spur of all time.

Thanks for the entertainment Manu!!

Right on, bro.

It's no New York or LA, or even Austin...but SA is a fun town. Laid back, nice people, and all the tacos your heart can desire (no that's not racist, I am just a gringo who loves tacos!)

You probably already have things mapped out, but I'll give my personal recommendations from growing up in SA:

Los Barrios or La Haciena de Los Barrios - both San Antonio institutions owned by the same family

Chachos or Chachos & Chalucchis - the former was another SA staple, the latter was a newer location built on steroids

Cristan's Tacos - Multiple locations, still my favorite breakfast in the world. My dad used to take me to the one off Walzem & Midcrown all the time. I've spent 10 years in Austin, and still have not found a better breakfast taco

Los Palapas - nothing outstanding, just quick and easy diner-style Tex-Mex. I still miss Los Palapas in my life

These are just my favs...I'm sure other will chime in with some suggestions. Honestly, even if you just go into some hole-in-the-wall looking place..thats where you sometimes find the best stuff.

[Geo210SpursSanAnto.]

If you want authentic san antonio style tex-mex... Try no other then the original blanco cafe on fredericksburg rd. And medical drive... On the northwest , or try some rays drive inn on guadelupe rd. On the westside for some puffy tacos ... It is a staple in san anto... Also just imagine those streets and backs streets lined up with spurs fans yelling in the streets clapping strangers hands for the 5 chips... Take it all in buddy, have a safe trip!!

Had to find amazing Mexican food in toronto All these tips are great, some I need to try. Keep in my mind it will be late after the ceremony and the most famous 24/7 restaurant I know of is Mi Tierra's downtown. It's like going to Mexico and really fun at night. I like Rosarios for the food better, but they aren't open 24 hours and Mi Tierra's is an experience everyone visiting SA should have. People say it's 'tourist place' and it is for very good reason!

So glad you are making the game! We decided to get a great hotel for this special occasion when normally we drive home about an hour away. This is being treated like a championship celebration to my wife and I...excepted we've already !#$$ing won!
:flag: Viva Manu!!

Man, I really wish I could enjoy the ceremony and celebrate Manu's career.....

But I just know it'll be a stark reminder of what a pathetic loser team this is and how soft Pop has become (he's old, it happens).....

Instead of great leadership and team building that we had with Timmy/Manu, we have losers like LMA/Derozan/Pop who don't really give a shit about winning and fake culture guys like Patty angling for his next fat extension from the clueless PATFO....

Oh well, love you Manu and thanks for everything

[emanueldavidginobili]

I’m glad his ceremony is after Nick Collison and Chris Bosh. Those two are not in his league. Bosh is sooo overrated.

[hater]

Fuck manure


Glad that cancer is gone forever

[FkLA]

I'm expecting the crowd to chant his name and all the Argies in the building to start up an ole Manu chant. God bless SA's favorite son. He deserves all that and then some, tbh.

[hater]

That Hispanic heritage contract we gifted him is more than enough he should at least give back free tacos tonight tbqh

[JR3]

Anyone know if the ceremony will be covered by league pass?

[Larry O]

Was wondering if NBA TV was doing a Manu tribute today in lieu of his jersey retirement, such as showing today, some of the games where he was clutch. Only thing I see is the ticker showing a place on their website to go watch tributes of him by fellow Spurs alum. Just checked out the site, & they have only two posts: one is the tribute, the other is video clips of looking back at Manu's legacy as a basketball icon, uh huh, yeah, right... SMH... (well, at least they are doing something?)

[hater]

I don't think nbatv would tribute a perenial 6th man

[SpurPadre]

As a tribute, DeRozan should foul a driving Kevin Love for the and 1 to tie the game with less than 35 seconds left. Sorry, Manu...I love you, you're a HOFer and you're the third greatest Spur of all-time but I couldn't resist!

"Beautiful ceremony at halftime, some tears shed as Manu's jersey hangs in the rafter. Not a dry fat eye in the crowd.

Pop, inspired by Manu's competitiveness, coaches the team to a hard-fought 2 point loss against the mighty Cavs, displaying amazing culture along the way....

[Pop after the game] - It's just a game, tonight is really about #20......

Gracias Manu :cry"

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

You probably already have things mapped out, but I'll give my personal recommendations from growing up in SA:

Los Barrios or La Haciena de Los Barrios - both San Antonio institutions owned by the same family

Chachos or Chachos & Chalucchis - the former was another SA staple, the latter was a newer location built on steroids

Cristan's Tacos - Multiple locations, still my favorite breakfast in the world. My dad used to take me to the one off Walzem & Midcrown all the time. I've spent 10 years in Austin, and still have not found a better breakfast taco

Los Palapas - nothing outstanding, just quick and easy diner-style Tex-Mex. I still miss Los Palapas in my life

These are just my favs...I'm sure other will chime in with some suggestions. Honestly, even if you just go into some hole-in-the-wall looking place..thats where you sometimes find the best stuff.Los Palapaes is disgusting. If you want good Mexican food go to Blanco Cafe or Jacala been eating at Jacala since the 70s best Mexican food in San Antonio.

La Haciena de Los Barrios is wack too. It's like going to any average Mexican joint in SA but getting charged twice as much. Las Palapas needs to learn how to make a decent salsa.

[Slippy]

I'm pretty sure the ceremony is planned for after the game not at halftime

It is definitely postgame.

That limited edition retirement jersey is horrid. Still bought one, it's Manu.

As with DRob my all-time favorite spurs.

My pops always preferred Las Palapas to Taco Cabana and I always liked the latter. El Chaparral was always my favorite though. And isn’t there one not a million miles from the arena?

In the 90s Las Palapas had good Puffy Tacos one of the better ones around. Moved to California in 2000 moved back to SA 2 years ago and I've ate at 2 different Las Palapas and they both were horrible.
