On Sunday, after Argentina lost the bronze medal men's basketball game to Russia, Manu Ginobili sat at the press conference with a blank stare on his face.

The 35-year-old didn't say definitively that he was done playing internationally. But his disappointment said it for him.

"It hurts deeply," Ginobili said through an interpreter. "We have a very, very deep wound. But that's part of sport."

Ginobili and Luis Scola are the two most responsible for Argentina's rise to prominence. They won gold in Athens and bronze in Beijing.

"It's very, very difficult for me to think about history and legacy," Ginobili says. "I feel that pain and quite possibly this is the last time this group will be playing for a medal."
