SAN ANTONIO (AP)—The Spurs’ Manu Ginobili(notes) showed off his quick hands— capturing a bat.
“That was amazing,” teammate Tony Parker(notes) said after the San Antonio Spurs beat the Sacramento Kings 113-94 on Saturday night. “The legend continues with Manu. Unbelievable. … He’s always doing crazy stuff.”
Late in the first period a bat swooped into the AT&T Center and descended onto the court. Players scattered and officials stopped play. The bat circled and left only to return—briefly.
That’s when Ginobili performed his Halloween trick, swatting the bat out of the air with a bare hand. He then carried the creature off the court to thunderous cheers.
As the theme song to “Batman” played, a few Sacramento players applauded, too. A trainer emerged to squirt sanitizer on Ginobilil’s hand. “When you can’t dunk anymore, you have to find a way to make it into the news,” Ginobili said. “So that’s what I did. I grabbed a bat. I didn’t think it was a big deal.”
My summary or opinion
Manu hitting a bat is something that most people cant do because bats fly faster than a bird does and for him just to hit down to the floor is pretty amazing. Plus the fact that he carried it out of the stadium is another amazing thing because personally I would be scared to grab a bat because what if it bites you and has some disease. The other thing that I'm thinking is how did it get inside the stadium how did anyone not see the bat before the game. That's really really weird for not anyone seeing the bat before the game. Maybe it was there for a couple of days who knows. The saying that he said "When you can’t dunk anymore, you have to find a way to make it into the news,” is pretty good advice because when you cant get noticed one way you have to find another way to get noticed.
