MANU GINOBILI will get the ultimate honor from the team he spent his entire NBA career with.

The Spurs announced Tuesday they’ll retire Ginobili’s No. 20 jersey later this season.

The special postgame ceremony is scheduled to take place March 28, following the Spurs game against the Cavaliers.

Ginobili will be the ninth player to have his number retired by the Spurs, joining the likes of former teammates Tim Duncan, Bruce Bowen and David Robinson.

A native Argentinian, Ginobili signed with the Spurs in 2002 after being selected with the 57th overall pick in the 1999 draft.

He spent his entire 16-year career with Spurs.

Ginobili is one of the greatest Spurs of all-time. With Duncan and Tony Parker, Ginobili was instrumental in bringing San Antonio four championships. He was extremely productive, and his flair made him a fan favorite.

Ginobili appeared in 1,057 career games, averaging 13.3 points, 3.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.32 steals in 25.4 minutes. He is the Spurs all-time leader in three-pointers made (1,495) and steals (1,392) while ranking third in games played (1,057), fourth in assists (4,001), fourth in free throws made (3,380) and fifth in points (14,043).

Ginobili was named to the All-NBA Third Team in both 2008 and 2011 and was a two-time All-Star (2005 and 2011).

The 2008 NBA Sixth Man of the Year is the first sixth man, as well as the first South American, to earn All-NBA honors.

Ginobili and LeBron James are the only two players in NBA postseason history with at least 3,000 points and 300 three-pointers in the playoffs.

After signing with the Spurs in the summer of 2002, Ginobili became one of just seven players in NBA history to spend his entire career with one team while playing at least 16 seasons, along with Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, John Havlicek, Reggie Miller, Dirk Nowitzki and John Stockton.

He is the first South American to appear in at least 1,000 games with one team. (SD-Agencies)
