Emanuel Ginóbili

Emanuel David Ginóbili (born July 28, 1977 in Bahía Blanca, Argentina), also known as Manu Ginobili, is an Argentine basketball player. He is a member of the Argentine national basketball team and the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA. He is generally regarded as one of the finest basketball players ever to come from Argentina, and indeed from South America. Like many Argentines, Ginobili is a descendant of Italian immigrants. Ginóbili comes from a basketball family. Older brothers Sebastian and Leandro have played professionally in Argentina and Spain, respectively, and their father, Jorge, was a coach at a club in Bahía Blanca where Ginóbili learned to play. Ginobili is a wiry, 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) left-hander who is also adept at going to his right. Being fearless, though, could be one of his better assets.
