Manu Ginobili to Play for Argentina in Olympics

by Stephen Kersey on July 19th, 2008

Although Manu Ginoibli has some injury concerns, he will play for Argentina in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Ginobili said he would decline to play if his injury woes didn’t subside. Apparently, the Argentine guard is healthy enough to give it a go.

Argentina definitely needed Ginobili to have a shot to repeat as Olympic champions. While it will be difficult for Argentina to again win gold like they did in 2004, without Ginobili it would have been impossible.

Joining Ginobili on the Argentinean Olympic team will be many players NBA fans are aware of including Fabricio Oberto, Andres Nocioni, Luis Scola and Carlos Delfino.

Will Ginobili be able to win gold again?
