Manu Ginobili is an interplanetary figure. That has been known for a long time. Not only because he knew how to be the best player in the FIBA arena, but he also rubbed shoulders without complexes with the top figures in the NBA. To such an extent that he formed one of the most successful partnerships in history with Tim Duncan and Tony Parker and Gregg Popovich’s fabulous San Antonio Spurs.
With four champion rings, recognized as the best Sixth Man in 2008 and twice elected in the best quintet in the NBA, in addition to the gold medal won with the Argentine National Team in Athens 2004, Ginobili is a legend.
And his fame was used to promote the landing of Space Jam: a new era, the animated film that stars LeBron James with the main figures of Looney Tunes with Bugs Bunny at the helm. And there was a wink for Boca fans that quickly went viral.
What is the thing about? The protagonists invite Manu to join the team that needs figures to turn an adverse story. “I’ve already retired. I haven’t touched a ball for three years, eh,” Manu warned to get off the treat.
That is where the moment came that it became a phenomenon in the networks. “What if Roman calls you?”asks Silvestre, the cat that can never make Tweety fall into the trap, winking at the phrase that journalist Sebastián Vignolo uses when he talks about Juan Román Riquelme and his powerful calls. Ginobili, with a poker face, replied: “There you killed me.”
The trailer was promoted by Manu himself, who wrote on his networks: “What an opportunity to return to the fields I missed with this great team!”.
This animated film is the sequel to the original Space Jam that, way back in 1996, had Michael Jordan as its great star, in addition to the protagonists of the cartoons that accompanied almost everyone’s childhood since the second half of the 20th century.
