In Argentina, talking about the NBA is talking about Manu Ginobili.
And on the afternoon of this Thursday, a piece of news had a full impact on the world of national basketball: according to specialized media, Gabriel Deck from Santiago has everything agreed to play with Oklahoma City Thunder and fulfill his dream of being part of the most important league to world level.
Like Facu Campazzo,
Tortuga
will pay the termination clause that will allow him to leave Real Madrid to sign with the Thunder.
Of course, his wish will be cheaper than the Cordovan guard: 2 million dollars, much less than the close to 6 that
Facu
had to disburse
to get to the Denver Nuggets.
The sporting
bombshell
made
Tortu a
trend on social networks.
And one of those who spoke the fastest about it was
Manu
, of course.
It is that since his retirement the Bahiense has always been close to the boys who came to the National Team to continue the legacy of a glorious and incomparable generation.
Ginobili and Deck, together in Rio de Janeiro.
An attitude that is not only summed up in said but also in facts, such as when he took a plane and traveled to China (along with Kobe Bryant) to see the alternatives of the 2019 World Cup, in which the Argentina of Campazzo, Deck and the Luis Scola stainless reached a historic runner-up.
As soon as he found out,
Manu
took his phone and wrote a nice message dedicated to his former teammate: "Great news for our basketball! Tortu Deck from Madrid to the Thunder !!",
Gino
wrote
on his Twitter account, where he has almost five million of followers, many of them from the United States, where he is an idol.
Despite the fact that there were rumors about a change of this style for Deck, his arrival in the
NBA
surprised by the abrupt way in which it ended up being resolved: this Thursday he played for Real Madrid for the Euroleague, and it is expected that on Friday he will rise to an airplane that deposits it in the United States.
The presence of Campazzo, the arrival of Deck and the possible incorporation of Leandro Bolmaro (selected in the last draft but still in Spain) make the NBA continue to wear light blue and white.
Argentine basketball, partying.
And there will be Manu to express his emotion on the networks.
Great news for our basketball!
Tortu Deck from Madrid to the Thunder !!
