« J’ai joué contre toi pendant 9 ans. J’ai écouté je ne sais combien de meetings d’avant-match disant qu’il ne fallait pas te laisser partir sur ta main gauche parce que tu es impossible à stopper dans ces cas-là. Ensuite, je suis devenu ton coéquipier et j’ai pu voir de près comment tu apportes bien plus de valeur à une équipe que le scoring. Tu es le compétiteur ultime, qui pense avant tout à l’équipe. C’était un honneur de jouer contre toi, mais c’était encore mieux de jouer avec toi à mes côtés. Merci Manu ! » LaMarcus Aldridge
I competed against you for 9 years. I sat through countless pregame meetings discussing how not to let you go to your left hand because when you do, you’re impossible to stop! Then, I became your teammate and got to witness first hand how you bring way more value to a team than pic.twitter.com/JJYbvXNToE

Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire teammates. Not one day he didn’t own all three. pic.twitter.com/hJraB1Z19I

Hell of a career @manuginobili . One of the best to ever do it. Pick and roll genius. Euro-step king. Hated trying to force you right in the pnr knowing you would still snake back to the left hand. I’ve borrowed a lot of your moves and set-ups. The game will miss you !
