Manu with the President of Argentina

[kolko]

Earlier today, Manu met with the Argentinian president, Nestor Kirchner. Also in the meeting were all the participants of BWB (Delfino, Nocioni, Santiago, Mutombo and Dalembert).

Dude. He;s meeting with the PRESIDENT!!
why couldn't he fix his hair?? :lol Doesn;t he have a wife?? :wow
I wouldn't let my husband meet the president ith his hair looking like he just got off a helicopter and his shirt untucked.
:rolleyes........ maybe he's just tired from the trip down there and wasn't thinking.....but still.

[smeagol]

Man our president is ugly!

[WalterBenitez]

Man our president is ugly!

I think he met with the president last year or a couple of years ago too, but yeah...back then his hair was neat and trimmed lol.

As big as Manu is in his home country now, Manu probably has Kirchner's cell phone number. "Hola, Nestor, whaz'up?" :fro

[1Parker1]

Wow, that's so awesome! Good for Manu. I love how our international players are not only respected around the NBA in the US, but how they also have reached MJ status in their home countries.

Oh and gotta agree with Obiwan...Manu it's the freaking PRESIDENT of your home country---look a little presentable! :spin

[picnroll]

Is Manu's general popularity in Argentina on the same level as some of your current big name soccer players now?

El Presidente: "Mmmm, so you can use your hands?"
Manu: "Yeah, you drible it. And check this...it's forbiden to use your feet."
El Presidente: "What! Manu, you're pulling my leg now..."

"So, Manu...you've posted up Ray Allen. Is it true he's hung like this?"

[WalterBenitez]

Is Manu's general popularity in Argentina on the same level as some of your current big name soccer players now?

Probably like a good soccer player, but not as famous as them

HEY WHAT THE HECK IS FREDDIE MERCURY FROM QUEEN DOING IN THIS PIC. (UPPER LEFT CORNER) I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD

[hendrix]

Same here. Bush is an ugly mofo.

I was gonig to say that our president is a clown (really), but then I remembered the time when Bush was speaking about the terrorist and the threats and some some seriuos stuff to finish with: ".... Now watch this drive".

that's nothing. Here are some of his most memorable quotes, I keep 'em handy for whenever I need a laugh.

George W. Bush: There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says: "Fool me once..."
[pause]
"... shame on...".
[pause]
"Shame on you..."
[pause]
"If fooled, you can't get fooled again." ... :lol

George W. Bush: Sure a dictatorship would be easier. :elephant

"I'm going to spend a lot of time on Social Security. I enjoy it. I enjoy taking on the issue. I guess, it's the Mother in me." :lol

"You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." —George W. Bush, to a divorced mother of three :lmao

:lol your president cannot compete with our president.

Hey Mutumbo Argentine,too? Damn!

[SouthernFried]

I was gonna say that as well...I didn't know Mutumbo was Argentian.

[1Parker1]

:lol The BWB at Argentina isn't just hosted by Argentinian Players. Dalembert (behind the Prez) isn't Argentinian either. I think Tony Parker was going to host the BWB at China with Yao Ming---and Parker is def not Chinese!

Take it to the political forum.. don't shit on a good post about Manu.

When they go to the white house then MAKE AN ASS OF YOURSELF with some
stupid fucking Bush bashing since maybe you might be on topic at that point.

Its you who is making an ass of yourself. nkdlunch is simply repeating shit Bush said, and if you think those quotes show Bush in a bad light, then you yourself admit that Bush isn't the brightest tool in the shed. Personally, I think we should laugh at stuff like the fact that Bush almost choked on a pretzel :lmao while millions of dollars are spent on presidential security. You can't tell me thats not funny!
