Ginobili still undecided on retirement

MANILA, Philippines — Manu Ginobili is not reitiring. At least not yet.

 

The San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday bowed to the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference Finals 129-115.

 

The lefty shooting guard scored 15 points as the entire AT&T Center in San Antonio chanted "Ginobili!" when he was taken out of the game with less than two minutes remaining.

 

After 15 years, he might have played his final NBA game.

 

But in the post-game interview, the 39-year old Ginobili said nothing is final yet as he will decide on his career move in the following weeks.

 

"I('ve) always said I wanted to let it sink in three weeks, four weeks (before I make a decision)." he said.

 

Although younger players are starting to take over the league, Ginobili said he feels like he can still hold is own.

 

"I do feel like I can still play, but that's not what is going to make me retire or not."
