Speaking about his induction into the Hall of Fame, Ginobili said modestly: "I haven't won the leading scorer, I haven't won the MVP, I haven't even scored in the best team. I was inducted into the Hall of Fame because of my teammates who fought alongside me and the coaching team that taught me. Thank you to the people who have helped me on this journey! ”
