Marianela Orono is Manu Ginobili's wife

You’ve probably had a couple summers in your life that you look back on and think man, that was a pretty perfect summer. Your summers may have been so great that at one point you may have even considered buying one of these beauties to go back in time and relive it.

And as nice as those times may have been for you, believe me when I say that compared to Manu Ginobili’s best summer, your best summer sucked. Sorry. Take it up with the flopper king.

In the summer of 2004, Manu got married, picked up a six-year $52 million contract to play for the Spurs, and led the Argentinian basketball team to a gold medal in the Olympic games. How do your memories of fireflies, sleeping bag farts and cute girls at the pool hold up to that? That’s what I thought.

Manu Ginobli’s hot basketball wife is Marianela Orono. They were married in Bahia Blanca, Argentina in July of 2004.
