Next day, they'll announce that he is unretiring, with Murray out.

Thanks for the honesty.

Well-deserved. VERY well deserved. I also hope he's still in support for the team now, since Kawhi, Danny, and Tony are all gone. I hope he shows it during his speech. But hey, I'm not really a Spurs fan so I won't go psycho if it doesn't happen. But either way, Manu is a legend.
