Spurs to retire Ginobili's jersey

Argentina's Manu Ginobili will have his number 20 jersey retired by the NBA's San Antonio Spurs in a ceremony at a March 28 home game against Cleveland.

Ginobili won four NBA titles in 16 NBA seasons with the Spurs with a career .721 win percentage, his 762-295 record the best in NBA history among players with at least 1,000 league appearances.

The 41-year-old South American star, who retired in August, joins American Bill Bradley as the only players in basketball history with an NBA title, a EuroLeague crown and an Olympic gold medal.

Ginobili won a European crown with Virtus Bologna in 2001, led Argentina to 2004 Olympic gold in Athens and helped the Spurs to NBA titles in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014.

Together with French guard Tony Parker and power forward Tim Duncan, Ginobili was part of a "Big Three" combination during the Spurs' glory years.

Parker and Ginobili combined for 132 playoff triumphs, the most postseason victories by any pair of teammates in NBA history.

Ginobili will become only the ninth player in Spurs history to have his jersey number forever retired.

He's among only seven players to suit up for one team over an NBA career lasting at least 16 seasons, joining Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Reggie Miller, John Stockton, John Havlicek and German star Dirk Nowitzki.
