A woman in trouble at a beach last week got a helping hand from San Antonio Spurs legend Manu Ginobili.

The woman was trying to climb a sand dune at a beach in Blanca Bay, Argentina when she fell, according to Jeff Garcia of News 4 San Antonio. Her granddaughter wrote about the encounter on Twitter, explaining how Ginobili came to her aid.

"The head of my grandmother faced a sand dune alone to go to the truck and fell, two men were running to help her, picked her up, and accompanied her, when we were arriving we see that photos begin to be taken with one, we thought it was ridiculous, AND WAS MANU GINOBILI," the translated tweet reads.

The granddaughter also shared a photo of Ginobili with her grandmother.

Ginobili retired from the NBA in 2018. The Spurs raised his No. 20 jersey to the rafters of AT&T Center last March.
