Basketball celebrates Manu Ginóbili’s birthday

Today basketball is celebrating, celebrating another year of life of one of the best international players of all time, Manu Ginobiliwho was one of the figures of the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA.

The Argentine is considered the best Latin American player in history, and there are plenty of reasons to do so, having only 4 championships with the Spurs, among many other awards.

Ginóbili, who turns 45 today, reached the best basketball league in the world after being the most outstanding in the EuroLeaguewith the Spurs taking over his rights after choosing him in position 57 of the 1999 Draft, although he joined San Antonio until 2002.

He spent his 16-year career in the NBA with the Texan team, under the orders of the legendary Gregg Popovich, and making a luxurious trident with Tim Duncan y Tony Parkerwinning a total of 4 championships together.

Revolutionary

His unbalanced style of play quickly drew attention, as well as his versatility on the court, being able to score at a high level, as well as being a natural playmaker.

He is remembered for having been the one who led the today known as ‘eurostep‘ to the NBA, this being a move in which the basket is attacked with the first step going in one direction, and the second in the opposite direction, ending with a layup.

Manu Ginóbili was also selected twice for the All-Star Game, twice elected to the third Best Five in the NBA, once Sixth Man of the Year, once champion of the Olympic Games with Argentina in 2004, and in the coming weeks he will be immortalized in the Hall of Fame for his outstanding career.

In the same way, I was present at various openings and closings of sporting events of the Company. My passion is basketball, so I am constantly researching burst sports, especially the NBA, and have created special works on relevant topics.
