马刺传奇球星马努·吉诺比利昨天迎来了他的49岁生日（送上迟来的生日快乐，冠军！）。尽管他在2018年就已退役，但他依然是马刺队不可或缺的一份子。无论是与家人一同坐在场边观看主场比赛，还是和蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 一起出席格雷格·波波维奇的退休发布会（会上透露他和蒂姆正积极参与波波维奇的物理治疗和康复过程），吉诺比利都始终是一位彻头彻尾的马刺人。
在他生日的前一天，一段他与前队友托尼·帕克 (Tony Parker) 的对话片段被发布了出来：
“我什么都参与一点，但都没有做得太深入。”
马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili) 表示，他正在为马刺队贡献力量，同时也在测试自己是否喜欢教练工作或是管理层的工作，并可能在某个时间点决定是否要深入尝试。

马努解释道：“我只是以前球员的身份给出我的意见……我在那儿待了三天。然后我花了一些时间和布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 讨论球队的情况。所以，我就是什么都参与一点，但都没有做得太深入。”
帕克回应说：“所以基本上，你在测试，你在稍微尝试一下执教，看看自己是否喜欢，同时你也在测试管理层的工作，比如总经理、球探，诸如此类。所以现在，你对两边都抱有兴趣，但你目前还不想做出承诺，因为你仍然想享受你的自由时光。”
“没错，这个总结太棒了，”马努回答道。“我正试图以任何可能的方式做出贡献，因为我热爱这支球队，热爱这里的每一个人。我成为这里的一部分已经二十年了，所以这里基本上也是我的家。我正在学习，之后我会做出决定。”
随着马刺队不断成长并打造一套具备争冠实力的阵容，没有什么比那些曾随第一代王朝缔造辉煌的传奇人物所提供的支持更强大的了。无论吉诺比利在球队中担任什么角色，都将促进球队乃至整个俱乐部的成长。

Open Thread: Manu Ginobili’s been dabbling with various roles in the Spurs organization
Spurs legend Manu Ginobili turned 49-years-old yesterday (happy belated birthday, Champ!). Even though he retired in 2018, he’s remained a fixture with the Spurs. From sitting with his family at home games to showing up with Tim Duncan to Gregg Popovich’s retirement announcement (where it was revealed he and Timmy were actively engaged in Pop’s physical therapy and recovery), Ginobili is still a Spur through and through.
The day before his birthday, this snippet of a dialogue between he and fellow teammate Tony Parker was posted:
“I do a little bit of everything but not too much of anything.”
Manu Ginobili says he’s contributing to the Spurs and testing to see if he likes coaching or front office work and may want to try it at a certain point.

Manu explained, “I was just giving my opinion as a former player…I was there for three days. And then I spent some time with Brian Wright talking about the team. So I do a little bit of everything but not too much of anything.”
Parker responded by saying, “So basically you are testing you’re testing coaching a little bit to see if you like it and you’re testing the front office, so GM, scout, all that kind of stuff to explain. And so right now, you like a little in both but you don’t want to commit right now because you still want to enjoy your time.”
“Definitely, that’s a great summary,” Manu replied. “I’m trying to contribute in any possible way because I love the organization, everybody in it. I’ve been a part of it for twenty years. so it’s basically my family, too. And I am learning, and then I’ll decide.”
As the Spurs continue to grow and shape a champion caliber roster, there can be no greater support than those who reigned supreme with the first dynasty. And any role Ginobili takes with the organization will enhance the growth of the team and the franchise as a whole.
