end of an era

first time in 21 years duncan, parker, or ginobili won't be suiting up for the spurs

 

[Voight]

& with that an era ends - the 4 time champion big 3 are all gone.

 

[Dr Pepper]

That's your cue, DeMar.

Also, any winged rodents frequenting the Spurs' arena are safer upon hearing this news. Manu didn't **** around.

 

[Power Man]

Nooooooooooo

He's one of the last professional athletes left who is significantly older than I am. Making me feel old.

That said, I'm not terribly sad to see him go. Always thought he was a whining flopper along with Tony Parker. Just never could become a fan.

 

[Power Man]

Manu didn't flop, he sold fouls

Harden tho ....

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Nooooooooooo

Anyone with a good memory can recall you calling for his retirement when he would commit a turnover. #Turnobili

 

[Fighter]

He was a winner wherever he went: Bologna, San Antonio, Argentina national team. Hats off!

He was a very fun player to watch in his prime. All the best to him.

Manu Even as a Lakers fan, it hurts to see him go.

lol

You may laugh but there's no denying that he pulled stunts like this many many times, and there's also no denying he would complain to the refs like a child when the call didn't go his way Saw it up close and in person every time the Spurs came to Charlotte.

He was a flopper. Very good one too.

Underrated talent for sure. Going to miss watching his ability to swat an animal out of mid air

There's no doubt Ginobli used to flop but you could have used a better clip than this one. Bonzi Wells smacked him in the face pretty hard there, albeit unintentionally. The ref probably wasn't going to call anything if Ginobli didn't react because it was a bang-bang play, so he had to sell it.

The flops where there's no contact, I have a big problem with. But this one there was very clearly a shot to Ginobli's face.

 

[Voight]

One of his last great plays.

An underrated part of the Big 3.
