The 20 Best Players to Retire in 2018

1. Manu Ginobili

It was tough to pick between the bevy of Hall of Fame players as to who should be in the No. 1 spot on this list. At the end of the day, Manu Ginobli gets the nod due to one factor.

Rings.

Ginobili won four championships playing for the San Antonio Spurs and was one of the greatest sixth men in the history of the NBA. Ginobili was a two-time All-Star and All-NBA performer, that was at his best in clutch situations.

Now that Ginobili and Tim Duncan have retired and Tony Parker has signed with the Charlotte Hornets, the greatest era of Spurs basketball has finally come to a close.
