    SAN ANTONIO (NBA) - Manu Ginobili has fielded a lot of requests in his days a living legend in Argentinian sport.

    He makes public appearances, donates money to charity and yes, signs autographs.

    You wouldn’t believe, though, where some people want his signature.

    "The strangest place where I’ve had to write my autograph?” he says in Ole.

    “I guess mobile phones. I have already signed three or four.

    “But there was another strange one, where a dude asked me to sign his upper thigh because he wanted to get a tattoo."

    Ginobili, a guard with the San Antonio Spurs, led Argentina to the gold medal at the Olympics in Athens in 2004 and will be one of the South Americans’ leading players this summer at the Beijing Games.
