A few minutes later, Manu posted the finished painting. In the photo, you can see him next to the board that, in addition to the orange background with some white brush strokes, has a drawing of a yellow flame, wearing dark glasses with red frames and a blue cap. “Sotheby’s, you better be ready for this,” he wrote in this second postcard in reference to the famous auction house that sells works of art of great value.

Since leaving professional basketball, Ginobili has kept his personal and family life away from the cameras. Although he travels to Argentina on vacation, he continues to live in the United States and, although he is no longer dedicated to the sport as a player, since 2021 he has been part of the technical management of the San Antonio Spurs as an operations and player development advisor. .

“He personally gave me as much advice for basketball as anything else. For example, how to manage your home, training, etc. Otherwise, he usually attends training sessions and sometimes gives technical advice. Honestly, it’s good to see how involved he is,” said the young basketball player.
