End of an era indeed.
Actually, there's even a different guy playing the Coyote.

A ing Legend. Dude is my favorite Athlete of All Time and it ain't even close.
This was the game where Manu had 14, 10 and 9 in like just 20 minutes. Pop asked him if he wanted to keep playing to get that 10th rebound and Manu was like "nah".
But then idiots that put raw numbers over all (among them even some Spurs fans) will say "Manu wasn't that great. He never even had a triple double".
Took me a while to find it:

Spurs v Mavs, Timmy is out, Manu leads Parker, Bowen, Elson and oberto to 2pt victory vs Dirk, Terry, Harris Howard and dampier. 37/4/6, and a nasty dunk on Howard and diop who were trying to rough him up all game (no foul called on the clear shot to the face).
The third quarter was 31-17 Spurs, Manu had 16 pts on 6 shots including the dunk
Thank you Manu.
The amount of love manu has received across the league and sports in general is pretty amazing. His original retirement tweet now has over 375k likes.
Game. Set. Match.
He was closing most of those games too...
They had another article compiling his crunch time stats saying that no other player in the 2000s had better PLAYOFF crunchtime numbers. Not Kobe, not Wade, not LeBron, not Melo, not Kidd, not Nowitzki, not Kevin Garnett, not Paul Pierce, not Chauncey Billups, not Nash... Manu freaking Ginobili.

y'all dont get it.. this is all a joke, manu is playing the first game of the regular season..
oh wait..
CIA Pop: Manu maybe we can use you to make them think you're retiring.
Manu didnt have to carry his team for 35 mins then step it up in crunch time. He had Tim Fukn Duncan.
only one of these can carry your NT for the glories
He can always unretire. There is nothing stopping him from changing his mind at some point.
Of course it doesn't look good in the public eye to retire and come back but it's his call.
Like Tim he is just gonna be hanging around all the time. He will probably stay retired.
I would not be surprised to see him come back he is very compe ive. I think though even if he gets that itch to return he will probably stay retired.
So will Manu continue living in America? or go back to Argentina?
Has this been confirmed as being yesterday or at least since his retirement announcement?
And his detractors want to focus on his not being a "starter" - when he was THE "finisher"... SMH!
Yeah, that's the big question in my mind. Since his kids are enrolled in school, he will prolly be here this season. Beyond that I hope he joins the staff, and maybe even succeeds Pop.
living here in ARg. is a nightmare....... 55 years doing it... I know. Manu will respect the scolarship of the kids, and return back to argentina just the time to get fun with friends or so... then back to usa to get safe....
As long as there is no Brett Favre-like I'm fine with him coming back. But like you I think he'll stay retired.
