Argentina's NT coach: "To me, Manu Ginobili is going to play in Rio"

[SAGirl]

Manu is unpredictable at this stage.

He said last summer he had already retired from international compe ion (99% likely).

However, Argentina will obviously ask him again and how he feels at that time is what he'll do.

If Spurs play deep into June (hopefully), you have to wonder about his health at that point. Almost 39 and playing into June, I think he will need rest.

Also, we have to keep in mind his role with the NT is not the same as it is with the Spurs where he has a lot of help and great teammates to share the burden with.

As a point of reference, Tony looked beyond finished in international compe ion and has had a renaissance with the Spurs. Same for Dirk Nowitzki to a degree.

It would be even more fitting if he had a fifth ring while playing his farewell tour.

Hear, hear!

To say the truth a lot will have to do on how the team fares this year.

If we win the championship i think he will play in rio and retire.

If we are close, and he thinks we can win it next year maybe he stays with us and doesnt go to rio.

If we suck he´ll go to rio for sure and maybe retire after it.

Anyway i hve no problem in any case if manu wants to go to rio AND play another year here. He has already given us all you could expect from him and more, Spurs chances should not hang anymore on Ginobili´s decisions. If they do, then we have a problem or our so called starts are not so shining.

Told of the story after the Spurs’ 114-95 win over the Wizards at the AT&T Center, Ginobili said, “Trust me, you would have known if I had would have made the decision. If (Hernandez) is confident, good for him. I haven’t said anything yet. It’s not the moment. I am not going to think about it.”
