San Antonio Spurs legendary guard Manu Ginobili is enjoying his well-deserved retirement. In preparation for a commercial shoot, the Argentinian daredevil posted a picture of him along with other Spurs legends:

Here, Ginobili is actually the youngest retiree as he is with fellow former Spurs players David Robinson, Tim Duncan, George Gervin, Bruce Bowen, and Sean Elliot.

San Antonio's official Twitter account was also quick to post more pictures of this momentous event for the 41-year-old:

The 6-foot-5 shooting guard announced the end of his 16-year career in the NBA this summer. He played a total of 1,057 games, all in a Spurs uniform. A former Sixth Man of the Year award winner, he had impressive career averages of 13.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.

Flashy as his basketballs skills are, Ginobili never reached the 20-point scoring average in any season of his career and was selected for the All-Star team only twice. But true to the Spurs' team-first mindset, Ginobili's lasting influence on the team was never about individual accolades.

The Washington Post's Tim Bontemps wrote on how pivotal Ginobili was during San Antonio's successful championship runs:

Playing for Popovich, Ginóbili’s desire to put the team before himself, in his willingness to come off the bench in well over half of the games he played, revolutionized the way teams looked at bench players. Ginóbili could have averaged huge numbers had he played typical starter minutes. Instead, he put up more pedestrian ones and was rewarded by being part of one of the most consistent winners in basketball history.

Ginobili and the Spurs already left an enduring team-first blueprint that today's teams have been trying to imitate.
