With a tale defying belief, Ginobili heads to Hall
Manu Ginobili acknowledges reporters at press conference as he is announced by the NBA that he has been elected to the Naismith Hall of Fame on Saturday, April 2, 2022 at the AT&T Center.The wild, flowing locks of dark hair are long gone, and so is the mayhem that arrived in South Texas with them. Now, comfortable in the adopted city he used to energize like a year-round Fiesta, middle-aged Manu Ginobili revels in a life of what he calls “everyday tranquility.
Or that the basketball gods — and the Spurs’ scouts — had put him alongside two legendary teammates he was destined to complement on the way to four championships? “It’s just that I have been in the right place and the right time,” Ginobili said. “And I contributed the way I could.” And of course he filled the English portion of his interview — he also fielded questions in Spanish and in Italian — with the kind of turns of phrase in his third language that few Hall of Famers have spoken in their first.On winning the 2014 NBA Finals after the heartbreak in Miami the year before: “Not only was it joyful, it was therapeutic.”
