Manu Ginobili Cracks Joke About Literally Giving Right Testicle For Spurs

At least Manu Ginobili can laugh at his own misfortunes.

The San Antonio Spurs guard underwent testicular surgery in February after being struck in the groin by Ryan Anderson’s knee during a game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Not surprisingly, Ginobili said it was the most painful injury he’s ever suffered, though that didn’t stop the 39-year-old from cracking a joke about his unfortunate situation.

Dan Harris of WOAI in San Antonio started to ask Ginobili during a recent sitdown interview whether he ever heard of the expression, “I’d give my left … ” and the four-time NBA champion interjected by suggesting he gave his right testicle for the Spurs. Ginobili even had an ear-to-ear smile.

Ginobili, who was sidelined for a month after suffering his cringe-worthy injury, has given a lot to the Spurs organization and is a little worse for the wear. But clearly, his personality and his sense of humor remain very much intact.
