Damn. It's hitting me again. Sad as tbh.
Yeah, Manu was basically a huge part of this team and fans are getting a reality check if they did not appreciate him enough.
On the bright side it's now Derozan and Aldridge's team.
Damn. It's hitting me again. Sad as tbh.
Not surprised, but it's awesome to see the outpouring of respect and adulation from around the NBA world. From players to coaches to fans, all of them have something positive to say about Manu and the memories they share on and off the court with him.
He was a rare cat, man. He'll be missed tremendously.

Just as a reminder: Manu got voted to the all-star starting lineup this year. Not even Jordan accomplished that on his last year.
Silverīs NBA is all about GSW.
Also GSW has Rocketsīnumber, the Carmelo addition would make things worse fatso will hurt his own team.
Lebron plays in LA because his son will be there in a couple years and also he saves himself from the embarrassment of playing vs GSW with a buncha scrubs adding more Līs to his Finals record.
Unless some injures visit GSW, they have the players, the calls, and ty teams as rivals.
I say Boston goes to the Finals, have more time together but lets see.
Predictable and boring, it has been like that since 2015...
Going back to my 1st avatar ever when I first joined ST in honor of Manu![]()
Pls anybody here has a pic of manu and timmy together i wanna honor then on my ig account pls thanks so much
Manu.................Thank you for providing years of enjoyment!
Basketball is dead to me now until some rule change is brought in that puts the big man back in the game. I'm tired of the game evolving into nothing but a three point shooting contest.
Yep, I see Boston going to Finals they almost made it last season without the 2 all-stars but the NBA was sort of fun in 2015 an 2016 (Cavs pull out historic series win vs 73-9 Warriors).
It's been since Durant signed with Warriors that it's been a total predictable mess pretty much. It's even worse now, the Warriors have 5 all-stars. If healthy going to be pretty tough to eliminate in a 7 game playoff series for any team not in San Francisco.
Haha, all the kids gonna wanna be like Curry, lol. Shoot that 3.
Happy retirement Manu!i hope we can see you on the bench or front office soon!so many great memories!its really a sad day for spurs fans!
Manu, we're going to miss seeing you at the AT&T this season. TV just doesn't do you justice. In person you are a magician. You've thrilled us fans for many years with your special passing abilities, not to mention your drives where you juke your opponent one way and you go the other with a slam or a twisting reverse layup. Enjoy your retirement. Spend lots of time with your wife and kids. And thanks for the memories. You were one of the best basketball players 'EVER' no matter what league or when playing for Argentina. Good luck, bud.

thanks for everything, legend.
Hats off. Last season must have been an emotional toll.
ing Fisher with the .3 bads.
Going to miss him a lot but hoping he enjoys retirement. It sounds though like he's still going to be around the team like Timmy has.

A very sad moment for Spurs fans.
Ginobili will be immensely missed.

BUT even using .3 is a compliment if you gonna Be real and honest. Manu did everything right. A contest without fouling, a heavily contested shot is very low %. And furthermore Fisher has to break his form and follow through on the release... Fisher was a clutch player but that shot was luck. Good luck Lakers, bad luck Spurs... Manu defended that play as best as anyone could...
Great photograph if I were still coaching I would use that Pic to demonstrate a perfect close/contest.
He was a catman?
This explains so much.
Huh? He would have been in the all-star game if he was voted in.
Well now, after 27 years of this team feeling great and being great. It feels like a part of me died yesterday. However, I will still wear my shield as a fan and watch the next stage. This summer has been brutal, Parker diminished and let go (was the right call), the coward Kawai showing his true colors and holding our off-season hostage and now Manu retiring. You cannot really expect much left from a player who gave everything for 17 years to your franchise. The consummate lightning to TimmyD's thunder on the court. He redefined the shooting guard position and ultimately was the best off the bench ALL TIME. Euro step your way in to the hall of fame, and may you and your family enjoy a good long healthy life!

We need to remove that Kawhi hand emoji and add a Manu yelling face or something.
Sign him up PATFO. Needs to happen yesterday.
I wonder if he'd be open to being a fullfledged assistant coach? Traveling with the team, etc.
Manu sacrificed a lot. Only 2 All Star appearances. Play-wise, I consider him a top 3 SG all time. The stats really hurt his case though.
