Who is the greatest player of all time for the San Antonio Spurs in the Olympics?

One name in particular stands out.

Who is the greatest player of all time for the San Antonio Spurs in the Olympics? An intriguing question on its face, Bleacher Report NBA analyst Andy Bailey recently took a stab at answering the question of which player for every ball club in the league is their respective Olympics G.O.A.T.

Using an admittedly subjective standard for his assessment given “how sparse statistical analysis of these games are,” Bailey has a fairly obvious player in mind for San Antonio’s Olympics G.O.A.T. — Manu Ginobli, who “appeared in four different Olympics” for his native Argentina over the course of his career as a player.

“Over those 29 games, he averaged 18.0 points, 3.7 assists and 2.1 3s, while shooting 59.0% on 2s and 39.2% from deep,” adds the B/R analyst.

“He won two medals, and of course, was one of the leaders of Argentina’s golden generation,” recounts Bailey.

“In 2004, Manu’s country was the last one standing, thanks largely to his 19.3 points and 40.5 3-point percentage.”
