24 Years Since Manu Ginóbili's Debut with the Spurs: The NBA Pays Tribute

The NBA honored Manu Ginóbili with a video on its social media to commemorate the 24th anniversary of his debut in the competition. The Argentine played his first game on October 29, 2002, against the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. In that victory for the San Antonio Spurs by 87-82, he contributed seven points, four rebounds, and three assists in 20 minutes.

Ginóbili spent 16 seasons with the Texas franchise, with which he won four championships (2003, 2005, 2007, and 2014) alongside Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. In 2008, he was named Sixth Man of the Year and participated in the All-Star games in 2005 and 2011. He was also part of the Third Team All-NBA in 2008 and 2011. He retired in 2018, the Spurs retired his number 20 jersey in 2019, and in 2022 he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
