Manu Ginobili leads Argentine basketball 'Golden Generation' reunion in Málaga
Former Argentine basketball stars gathered on a beach in Málaga, Spain, where Manu Ginobili posted a photo of himself with Luis Scola, Pablo Prigioni, Rubén Wolkowyski and Juan Ignacio “Pepe” Sánchez. Ginobili captioned the image “Se armó equipo +45 de alto vuelo” and noted how the friendship remained strong despite the years.
The five players form the core of Argentina’s celebrated “Golden Generation”, which won Olympic gold in Athens 2004, a World Championship silver in Indianapolis 2002, and an Olympic bronze in Beijing 2008. Their reunion, shared on social media, reminded fans of the era that defeated the U.S. Dream Team in 2002 and cemented Argentina’s place in international basketball history.
