Legend Manu Ginobili, who achieved greatness both in the EuroLeague and the NBA, recently shared his thoughts on the return of Virtus Segafredo Bologna to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and the enduring impact of Argentinian players in the basketball world.

During his time with Virtus Segafredo Bologna, Ginobili excelled, winning the EuroLeague title in 2001 and reaching the championship game in 2002 before making his mark in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, where he claimed four NBA titles and earned a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Ginobili’s experience with Virtus and his admiration for the team’s reemergence in the EuroLeague resonate deeply with him. He emphasized the passion of Virtus fans and the significance of the club’s presence in top-level competition.

One familiar face in the EuroLeague who Ginobili highlighted was his former NBA teammate, Marco Belinelli, the current captain of Virtus Bologna. Ginobili commended Belinelli’s journey from a young player practicing with him to his current role as a key contributor in the EuroLeague.

The legacy of Argentinian players in EuroLeague history is profound, with stars like Luis Scola, Pepe Sanchez, Pablo Prigioni, Andres Nocioni, and Fabricio Oberto paving the way for current standouts such as Luca Vildoza, Facu Campazzo, Nico Laprovittola, and Gabriel Deck. Ginobili acknowledged their remarkable achievements and contributions to the sport.
