San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili has given a lot to the Silver and Black over the course of his professional career and he knows it as well as anyone.

During a recent interview with News 4’s Don Harris, Ginobili joked about how he's made the ultimate sacrifice for this organization when referencing the groin injury that forced him to miss a portion of the 2015-16 season.

“I gave my right one,” Ginobili said. “I gave it all, I gave it all. I gave my right one for the Spurs, I can say it, I can really say it. It’s true.” “Usually when that happens, it hurts for a little bit. And then after three minutes, you’re back at it,” Ginobili said in March. “It was three minutes, five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, an hour, an hour and a half, and I was still in the same level of pain. So when we got to the clinic, once we did an MRI, [the doctors said], ‘We need the surgery, and it’s got to be right now.’ When they told me it was going to take a month or a month and a half, unbelievable. It was a very unfortunate situation. It was a perfect storm for this type of thing.”

Fortunately, Ginobili was able to return to the floor in just over one month and went on to be the type of consistent contributor that Spurs fans have grown accustomed to seeing over the years.

Hopefully Manu doesn't have to sacrifice any more of his body parts for San Antonio this season.
