Manu Ginobili's Golden Generation teammates to join in festivities Thursday night

Argentina will be well represented at Manu Ginobili's jersey retirement ceremony Thursday night at the AT&T Center.

Joining the expected large contingent of fans from Ginobili's homeland will be many of his Argentinian teammates and other legendary basketball players from the country.

The Spurs announced Tuesday that six members of Argentina's Golden Generation National Team will hold a roundtable discussion at center court during halftime of the Spurs game with Cleveland.

Alejandro Montecchia, Andres Nocioni, Fabricio Oberto, Pablo Prigioni, Pepe Sanchez and Luis Scola will discuss Ginobili's career and his impact on Argentina, the Spurs announced. Argentinian author Adrian Paenza will host the discussion, which will be held in Spanish with English subtitles to run on the arena's video board.

Argentina is the only country other than the United States to win a gold medal in men's basketball at the Olympics in the last 30 years.
