- How is your relationship with the Spurs, the FO, the coach after the Olympics?
It is going very well so far. I have been talking with Pop a lot and it’s everything set. We will see further ahead how it develops.

- Now a question about home; do you squeeze the toothpaste tube in the middle? Do you leave your clothes on the floor after you take your showers?
I squeeze the toothpaste from the middle a couple of days and then from the bottom, with my wife we have different toothpastes. I leave my clothing in the floor in the bathroom and yes… it gives me some trouble
AGU
- In the previous Olympics there was an award for the MVP but not on this one? Why?
There used to be no distinctions in the Olympics but after Athens the international media voted for MVP and starting 5, this year they didn’t do it again. It seems I had great timing on that aspect.
- A personal question; did you keep the t-shirt I gave you in Madrid or it was lost with the bags?
The T-Shirt is there! It appeared in one of the bags that were lost temporarily.

- What is your opinion about the referees on the Games? I still remember how Sconochini was fouled in the 2002 final against Yugoslavia
It wasn’t bad… undoubtedly for us better than in 2002. nothing to complain
Romy_013
- What was the most notorious thing for you about the games in Beijing?
The stadiums were a masterpiece. The Olympic Village was also much better than the one in Athens
nicovala_05
- How is living in the Olympic Village; what important athletes were you able to meer? Which one you would have liked to, is it true that an Argentine was with Isinbayeva?
The experience on the Village is unique and incomparable. One of the main reasons why I wanted to be there. You live very differently from any other championship. I love it. I am not very trendy so I hung around with all the argentine athletes and not much. No idea if the Argentine hooked up with Isinbayeba.

- Do you see the messages we leave you the less frequent posters or it’s in vain to do it there?
In vain… I get very very very much of those and I have stopped reading them for a while now. That’s why I am doing this more often so you can ask and comment on here.

- Manu I love seeing play in the NBA… but seeing you with the white and blue is deeply emotional. What things make you think to keep playing with it and what makes you feel you should leave it?
I enjoy playing with the NT and most of all with the guys on the team. An Olympic game is truly unique. What makes you think leaving it is your body that every times feels it more and more family and friends.
maisonna
- We saw Argentina do a great defense throughout the tournament. Was the offense a little weaker than previous tournaments?
In my opinion we did not defend as good as we can. One always emphasizes on Defense, it goes beyond you can provide in offense.
Sid Chirolettez
- About the food in the games; were the meals normal? Or there were weird typical Chinese dishes? Did you try something weird?
The food was good, there was a Mediterranean sector, another one international, another one Asian and other for salads and that kind of stuff. Ididn;t eat anything weird in China. Many and her mom ate scorpion and my mother and father ate snake (they found that it was that later)
florencia_arg
- What is your favorite color?
Fucsia (light Purple/Pink)
- What size of T-Shirt do you wear?
XLT.
Francisco
- With What NBA player would you like to Play?
Scola or Nocioni
Jokinen
- Are you in touch with Walter Hermann? Do you think he may come back to the NT?
I am not in touch with Walter very often; we talk when we face each other, but I don’t think he’ll be back with the NT. I’ll ask him if I get the chance maybe he is feeling like doing it again.
- Three positive and negative things about playing these Olympics
There are 100000 positive and zero negative… bah! Maybe this situation overall it’s a little unfortunate, but I think it would have been the same if I didn’t play.
Fernando
- Apart from the press, you can tell the fans love you there in San Antonio… how do you think that you will be received after your injury?
With lots of affection as they have always done. I have no doubts. If they don’t do it I’ll do the impossible to get that back once I get back to the court.

- How do you see the Spurs for this season, almost all player movement is done.
I answered this before. I think we have the same chances as every year, therefore, very good ones.
otoño
- How old would you like to be when you retire from playing Basketball and enjoy with family all what you have won?
Tough to answer, if I have to pick a date I would say that I’d like to finish at 36… but who knows…. It depends on many things…

- Is it true that you are writing your auto biography?
No, I am not writing it but maybe one day I will. There is time
