There is a very big interview with manu on Ole, I dont really have the time to do the whole thing (only 10-20% is bball/spurs related) so I'll just post some of the more interesting parts:
"I need to be good this season, regardless of it being a contract year and all that. I don't have fear, but there is a little doubt and I want to respect everything. I'm going slow because there's still a lot of time before the season."
-are the spurs the team that improved the most?
"I think so. The rest made changes but they gained on one side and lost on another. We've never had a wing like Jefferson. He's powerful, physical, good defender, he can post, rebound and score. He's going to be a big help. McDyess will get it done under the rim and with Blair we have a lot of hope. We're more dangerous in attack.
-I once described you as: intelligent, analytical, hyperactive, joker, hothead, home boy (as in doesnt leave the house), family man, worker, reserved, demanding, ambitious and competitive. What do you agree with?
"Many are good. I improved the hothead thing. I didnt like it and I worked on it"
-was it a concern?
"maybe. I´m not so temperantal and hotheaded any more. It was bad seeing myself arguing so much with the refs. I barely do it any more and so I barely get technicals called on me"
ok my son decided that s enough!
