It's a nice piece, it's in the Manu article thread too.

its funny, but a lot of the criticism manu gets when ranked as an nba player- he doesnt score that much, he isnt the best player on his team, he isnt 1st option, doesnt play starter minutes etc.- are all applicable to the USA players now. meanwhile, manu as "the man" is doing all the things that a kobe or a lebron does for his NBA team.

obviously, the level of competition is different. but the same happens in the NBA- you have good teams and bad teams. now manu has to show it against the best team.

i posted the same in the other thread, this is a huge game for manu, and win or lose will probably define his career more than anything else that he does or doesnt do in the rest of his NBA career.
