Manu Ginobili exited an NBA game on Monday night for what could be the final time.
He left the court with 2:25 remaining, and the San Antonio fans began to chant "Manu, Manu, Manu," showing their appreciation for the 39-year-old who has a decision to make about his future.
Ginobili won four NBA championships with the Spurs. He was a two-time All-Star, a two-time All-NBA third-team selection, and the Sixth Man of the Year in 2008. He was a star internationally, winning the EuroLeague championship in 2001 and two Italian League MVP awards in 2001 and 2002. He also won a gold medal with the Argentina national team in the 2004 Olympics.
Ginobili wasn't a 20 points-per-game scorer throughout his career, but his resume speaks for itself.
However, is it enough to consider him a Hall of Famer when it's all said and done? You be the judge.
The Golden State Warriors put on a dominant performance in the Western Conference finals, sweeping the San Antonio Spurs 4-0. With Kawhi Leonard missing the majority of the series because of an ankle injury, Ginobili showed flashes of his vintage self, averaging 13.8 points on 59 percent shooting.
He has career averages of 13.6 points, 3.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game in the regular season and 14.1 points, 3.8 assists and 4.0 rebounds in the playoffs.
