Former Argentine basketball player Emanuel Ginobili said this Saturday that what he achieved in the San Antonio Spurs during his time as a player for the Texan franchise is “almost unrepeatable” in relation to the four rings in the NBA.
“What happened in San Antonio over two decades was truly remarkable, almost unrepeatable. The fact that all of this has been achieved over so many years, two decades. With the same group, the same core, makes it unique worldwide. From It goes without saying that we are more than proud”, commented the man from Bahia in statements to the NBA Latam.
Ginobili put together a historic trident with the North American pivot Tim Duncan and the French point guard Tony Parker, with whom they won the four titles (2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014).
Manu is number 3 in the history of Spurs in games played with the team, with 1,057 played, and is the top stealer in franchise history, with 1,392 takeaways.
Manu was one of the figures of a historical San Antonio.
“These awards make you remember moments, a lot of things come to mind. I love being here and enjoying it. It’s an emotional weekend, you come here and they start to make you remember, they talk to you about colleagues, situations… one there he remembers and sees a lot of teammates and coaches who take you to that emotional situation,” Manu explained during Tony Parker’s Hall of Fame induction celebration.

Ginobili, the only Argentine in the NBA Hall of Fame since 2022, commented that the most valued title is that of the 2013-2014 season because they went through “bad times” from which they managed to recover.
“The attention to detail that he devoted over so many decades… it’s very difficult to describe Pop so much with his persistence, his great work. He’s a unique case, he’s one of a kind that we were lucky to have. He’s very demanding, intense It’s not for everyone, but it brought out the best in us and made us win everything we’ve won,” he said about Greg Popovich.
