Manu Ginobili claims he’s built like Iron Man ‘down there’

Well, Manu Ginobili certainly isn’t shy about praising his own midsection.

Ahead of the San Antonio Spurs’ Tuesday night shellacking over the Los Angeles Clippers, Ginobili, who just recently returned from a testicular injury he suffered on the court at the beginning of February, was asked about his decision to take two charges during his team’s March 12 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. His response was, predictably, outrageous:

Touche, Manu.

Now it’s time for a random observation: For a team that traffics in the serious, the Spurs sure do have a lot of characters on the roster. Boban Marjanovic could sell a thumping sound system to a person who hates noise; Patty Mills can answer questions about in-house sausage eating contests like a champ; Kawhi Leonard is undefeated in staring contests; Gregg Popovich is a jovial scowler; Boris Diaw seems like he could give you unparalleled recommendations on wine and cheese and scented candles; and Ginobili, apparently, has the midsection of a billionaire playboy’s post-future superhero outfit.

For the record, Manu should probably get this checked out.

Iron Man genitals seem more like a hazardous condition than a basketball luxury.
