Live Bar, September 11th today, at the award ceremony on Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame 2022, Manu Ginobili talked about his mood of being selected by Spurs in 1999.
“When they chose me, I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was wrong. After all, we have language barriers. I didn’t expect anything. There was no dialogue between us. I didn’t know anything at all. I didn’t even know where San Antonio was. After that, it was 16 years of fate, the same color, the same city and the same coach.” Manu said.
At the 1999 draft conference, Ginobili was selected by Spurs in the 57th place and officially landed in NBA in 2002.
