San Antonio Spurs legend Manu Ginobili is "seriously considering" and will talk with head coach Gregg Popovich about the future, an retirement, according to a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The 41-year-old Ginobili has seen his playing time and role reduced with the Spurs, as the organization continues to build towards the next era. He missed 17 games last season and averaged 8.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, all well below Ginobili's career averages.

As such, retirement may be the best option for an ageing and injury-prone Ginobili. He has nothing else to prove at this point of his career. Not with four NBA Championships, two All-Star selections and the 2008 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award. Ginobili has done everything in his power to help the future Spurs stars build towards the future, and there's simply little else he can do at this point.

Point guard Tony Parker signed with the Charlotte Hornets in the offseason, and disgruntled star Kawhi Leonard was traded to the Toronto Raptors in a blockbuster deal that brought DeMar DeRozan to San Antonio. Tim Duncan retired two years ago, and there have been rumors that Popovich will retire in 2020.

Ginobili, Parker and Duncan formed the iconic 'Big Three' in San Antonio, and perhaps no trio was more dominant over a long period of time like this one. The Spurs were the class of the NBA for most of the 2000s, and for the first half of the 2010s.

If Ginobili retires, the Spurs will be led by DeRozan, Pau Gasol and LaMarcus Aldridge. That's a solid core that should get them into the postseason, but it'll be impossible to fill the void Ginobili may leave behind.

So yes, the end of the Spurs dynasty is in sight. Five NBA Championships, 21 consecutive seasons of making the playoffs, and the standard for consistency and excellence in North American sports.
