Ginobili spent the early part of his basketball career in Argentina and Italy, where he won several individual and team honors. His stint with Italian side Kinder Bologna was particularly productive, earning two Most Valuable Player awards, the Euro league 2000-01 Finals MVP award and the 2001 League Championship. The San Antonio Spurs drafted the shooting guard as the 57th overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft and is considered one of the biggest draft steals of all time. Ginobili returned to Italy and only joined the Spurs in 2002. He did not take long to establish himself as a key player for the Spurs, and has since won three NBA championships as well as being named an All-Star in 2005. In the 2007–08 season, he was named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year. On the front tail is the "Reebok" manufacturers tag. Attached to that are three additional manufacturers tags with the jersey size "48","LENGTH +4" and "2004-2005" on them. The team name "SPURS" appears across the front in black on white on grey tackle twill. The player number "20" appears on the front and back in the same style tackle twill. The player name "GINOBILI" is done in black tackle twill across the back. On the left breast is the official "NBA" embroidered logo. This jersey is made out of the "Reebok" Playdry material. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by Letters of Authenticity from game worn memorabilia authority Grey Flannel, The National Basketball Hall of Fame, and an auction-style LOA for the autograph from James Spence Authenticaton (JSA).
