It would be even more fitting if he had a fifth ring while playing his farewell tour.
Spurs guard Manu Ginobili has been very tight-lipped recently about his future with the Argentinian National Team. Last week, when asked about the possibility of playing in Rio next year, Ginobili said he didn’t even want to think about it for now.
National Team coach Sergio Hernandez is optimistic about the chances of Ginobili playing at the Olympic Games for the fourth time with Argentina, though.
“To me, he’s going to play in Rio,” Hernandez said in an interview with TyC Sports. “I know he’s going to get angry when he watches this, but he knows how I am.”

Would be a fitting farewell for an all-time great.

Lighting a fire under Manu.
NVM. That is too much fire.
To me, Tim Duncan will never retire ...
Will Kobe be on the olympics team as well?
If Kobe makes it over Kawhi, I will be rooting hard for Argentina to win it all.
Kawhi vs Manu. Have to go with Manu on this one.
This. I really believe, though, that whole meme is just JC attempting to NOT backtrack oh his musings this summer, AND not insult Kobe.
Even for us Americans, Spurs Nation > USA.
Kawhi and George are locks. Guys like Klay / Larden are the ones who could be left home if Kobe cries his way onto the team. Both Kawhi and George can provide the outside shooting needed in the international game.
If there were someone deserving of a lifetime inclusion award, it would be Duncan. Never got the gold because he was stuck with that hero ball team of Starbury et al. He doesn't care though.
"To me, these are the winning Powerball numbers."
If this is to be Manu's last year as a Spur, I would love to see him go out in style. One for the thumb, plus a gold medal. Sweetest would be if Kobe makes the team as a sentimental choice, plays significant minutes, gets victimized by Manu in the final game, and everyone can say the reason the USA didn't win it was because Kawhi wasn't on the team.
I'm fine with Manu playing his last Olympic run.
In fact, I'll be so happy if he decides to play, he deserves a big stage for his retirement from international basketball.
kinda of feel like... you know, that guy for saying this. Especially if Manu was happy to have responsibilities to the NT locked away for good.
If Manu wants to play for his NT then great. But I want him back here next year...
so we can go for the repeat!
if kobe makes it over anyone it will be a disaster
hopefully he'll lead them to gold again
I'll be rooting for TP & Bobo
I think France hasn't even qualified yet, right?
You may be right. I'm not sure, can a French fan confirm this?
France hasn't qualified yet. They'll have to earn a spot during the pre-Olympic tournament.
Not qualified indeed. We need to play an Olympic Qualifying tournament next year.
He should. I know his NT is the most important to him and would be the best way to end his career.
Stop, I can only get so erect."To me, these are the winning Powerball numbers."

this season seems like our best shot at ringing maybe for a final timeWith how weakened the West and the fact that our Big3 are rested from a long off-season, which won't be the case heading into 2016-2017, this is the moment to do it, tbh.. I would say Manu 80% rides into the sunset after 6 with Olympics being his farewell tournament to the world of basketball..
