Manu's writing

[yagozev]

Here's a new article (in spanish) from Manu's column in an argentine newspaper: Es espectacular vivir este presente después de tantos años (http://canchallena.lanacion.com.ar/1673462-la-columna-de-manu-ginobili-es-espectacular-vivir-este-presente-despues-de-tantos-anos)

Work to do for ElNono! :toast

[Spursfanfromafar]

Manu says the similarities to the Spurs' TD-TP-MG-Pop combination's success are seen in Manchester United's Alex Ferguson/Ryan Giggs partnership and in the Barcelona success story (now without Guardiola though). How accurately correct!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Hopefully after Pop we don't end up with our own Moyes

[DAF86]

I had forgotten that Manu's new baby is due in about a month. That stuff will take out a lot of hours of rest, awful timing.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Hopefully after Pop we don't end up with our own Moyes

Luckily the NBA is not run like the EPL with the salary cap, drafting etc. Slightly more easy to transit from one phase to another than in the soccer leagues.

Mmh, I would say is the other way around.

[ElNono]

thanks for the heads up... I'm pretty busy ATM, but I'll try to do it asap...

Granted, Spanish is my 6th language I thought I'd take a loose crack at translating. I'm sure the other posters can clear some things up:


Around here we still expect the new child , almost a month now. Everything is spectacular. The belly is growing consistently and Many are very active. It is a pleasant pregnancy although I question if it is really mine. We will see the child born live on the court in the middle of the second round. As with the twins, it will be a scheduled seasonal birth then try to do when three days between games , so I can confirm that the child is mine for 24 hours before I leave.

As for the team , it is somewhat surprising we are in first place but when you look at the other teams out West who are playing poorly, it is to be expected . It is true that we had a very good start of the championship, but then seemed to Oklahoma ran buck wild . However, we got 10 straight wins and other teams taking advantage of Oklahoma and while Miami is much worse this year, we found that we were again first in the NBA where we belong. While it does not change the situation much and I always took something of importance , it is still worthwhile fight on top , the same as being the first team to get 50 wins on the season. Winning the championship is nice, but keeping the carer win percentage at a high clip is more important.

The mark of 50 wins by the tandem - Buford Popovich explained in the caption technical leadership body, and fortunate to have Duncan , one of the 500 best in NBA history, although we still tease him about Game 7 from time to time when his mood allows.

Nobody talks much about us and we are under the radar similar to the Malaysian airplane , but we are always present. I read that it is the 15th consecutive season that San Antonio has ​​50 wins or more, an incredible achievement for the resume when I look for work post NBA. I was in twelve of those seasons , and this is a great experience this after so many years with the same group of players especially when you look at all the minutes Matthew Bonner played for us during some of those years.. It is a major achievement and we are all happy, but knowing that much remains. It means nothing that happened to us if we lose in the first round. Hopefully that never happens to us as the top seed.

I can think of for Manchester United with Moyes and Ryan Giggs, and Barcelona, now without the same coach but the players themselves. We know that we are part of something exceptional.

The other day we told Tim , Tony and I had made ​​us the second trio of players who won more games in NBA history . When one learns , puts things in perspective for a while, but then throw the ball into the air, and we were asked to dance and so we did to "Get Ready for This" a personal favorite. We have to play and meet the objective of reaching very far in the playoffs, but not too far as I hope to spend more time with my kids.

The first four of these ten games were normal for us, with ups and downs but the last five or six were very good. That Friday against Lakers, all players in the squad we did points , rebounds and assists was a circumstantial defined in a quarter and half a game , but also a sign that we are playing well even if the Lakers are a minor league team now. Destroying rivals although much come in bad times , passing the ball and defending well . It is true that this season still have negative balance against stronger teams , but lately played the wild barbarians in Chicago, and impeccable at home against Miami who look very bad. Also against Portland , which is not as sweet as the first, but is a very dangerous opponent if we were to be missing our top 7 players to balance the matchup. And teams like Utah and Lakers we have to beat them , if only to fit in with the rest of the league . I was surprised at Indiana . When we look at just this at season ends meet I'll look some more. We have enough to worry about with the West ... Whether we'll face in the Finals with Indiana or Miami or Toronto, we'll see.

In the last ten experienced a physical change , I feel stronger , more ability to get to the rim . You go letting go . I feel good , and the start of the season , without doubt. I feel like I can throw the ball anywhere and it will eventually land.
In short, it is a good time for us. We are enjoying it while trying not to oversize . You have to put things in their proper place , the final analysis is a temporary patch. Now come important evidence , as Golden State there, Houston a little later , and Indiana will become ends meet . 16 games we have left , there will be five or six very difficult ones . Recent triumphs helped us gain confidence. A lot can happen . We must search for identity in order to end it, and hopefully get Ayres more playing time we can reach our pinnacle .

My phone translated the page for me. I assume it just used Google translate, hence, some sentences don't make sense, but it's good enough until Nono gives us the pro translation.


Is this a great experience this after all these years

It is somewhat surprising to regain first place
03.19.2014 | 00:33

SAN ANTONIO -. Around here we still expect the new child, almost a month now. Everything is spectacular. The belly is growing consistently and Many are very active. It is a pleasant pregnancy. We will see the birth date, because it will be in the middle of the first round of playoffs. As with the twins, will be a scheduled cesarean birth then try to do when three days between games, so I can see this and see it 24 hours before I leave.

As for the team, it is somewhat surprising that the first place we have these. It is true that we had a very good start of the championship, but then seemed to Oklahoma escaped. However, we, with ten straight wins and upsets taking advantage of Oklahoma and Miami, we found that we were again first in the NBA. Though it does not change the situation much and I always take away something important, it does be worthwhile fight on top, the same as being the first team to get 50 wins on the season.

The mark of 50 wins by the tandem-Buford Popovich explained in the caption technical leadership body, and fortunate to have Duncan, one of the 50 best in NBA history

Nobody talks much about us and we are under the radar, but always present. I read that it is the 15th consecutive season that San Antonio sum 50 wins or more, an incredible achievement. I was in twelve of those seasons, and this is a great experience this after so many years with the same group of players. It is a major achievement and we are all happy, but knowing that much remains. It means nothing that ever happened to us being lost to the first round.

Such a mark is explained by the tandem Popovich-Buford in the field technical leadership body, and fortunate to have Duncan, one of the 50 best in NBA history, an example of kind, humble worker never generated any problems, something that is not so unusual for a franchise player. Since then the coach continued, I joined with a very rare predictability in professional sports, and especially in the NBA, something global was achieved. I can think of for Manchester United with Alex Ferguson and Ryan Giggs, and Barcelona, ​​now without the same coach but the players themselves. We know that we are part of something exceptional.

The other day we told Tim, Tony and I had made us the second trio of players who won more games in NBA history. When one learns, puts things in perspective for a while, but then throw the ball into the air, and dance should dance. We have to play and meet the objective of reaching very far.

The first four of these ten games were normal for us, with ups and downs but the last five or six were very good. That Friday against Lakers, all players in the squad we did points, rebounds and assists was a circumstantial defined in a quarter and half a game, but also a sign that we are playing well, squeezing rivals although much come in bad times, passing the ball and defending well. It is true that this season still have negative balance against stronger teams, but lately played barbarian in Chicago, and impeccable at home against Miami. Also against Portland, which is not as sweet as the first, but is a very dangerous opponent. And teams like Utah and Lakers have to beat them, if not we leave everything they can earn, as happened with Lakers Oklahoma a few days ago. I was surprised rachita Indiana. When we look at just this; ends meet'll look some more. We have enough to worry about with the West ... Where applicable Final with Indiana or Miami, we'll see. And New York follow the results and statistics of Paul, to see if it makes the playoffs or not. Atlanta is falling ...

In the last ten experienced a physical change, I feel stronger, more ability to get to the rim. You go letting go. I feel good, like at the beginning of the season, without doubt.

In short, it is a good time for us. We are enjoying it while trying not to oversize. You have to put things in their proper place, the final analysis is a temporary patch. Now come important evidence, as Golden State there, Houston a little later, and Indiana ends meet. Most good teams happened. 16 games we have left, there will be five or six very difficult. Recent triumphs helped us gain confidence. Still missing the playoffs for just one month. A lot can happen. We must search for identity in order to end it, but get the feeling that quite lacking.
As for me, in the first ten days after overcoming the injury was not right. He walked very carefully, with doubts. But in the last ten experienced a physical change, I feel stronger, more ability to get to the rim. You go letting go. I feel good, like at the beginning of the season, without doubt. I'm risking a little more, and then I am getting more points. Not that Pop has asked me that; never tells someone something. Simply use is what gives the opposing defense, and everyone takes what he sees as a possibility. If given, is given.

They wonder episode Sneaker few games ago. Well, I never experienced anything like that, not even close. It was my fault. For the past several years had filed two boxes of shoes in the garage, no air conditioning, and here in San Antonio, now moving from 40 degrees to other -2. That combination is very bad for the material, I used a pair of these shoes and what happened happened. I freezes anecdote.

Finally, I wrote a couple of days on Twitter that met there five years ago. It is something to highlight it not for the fact that I took five years to that, but because Twitter changed us all. Today it seems that life without share things on social media does not exist and is not as well; recently lived without it. I found nice mark. It's amazing that something so took root and produced a significant change in generation from there ... just five years ago.

Here you go guys... excuse any typos:

Living this present is spectacular after so many years
Manu Ginobili

SAN ANTONIO.- Over here we’re waiting for the new kid, due in about a month. Everything is spectacular. The belly is growing consistently and Many is very active. It’s the perfect pregnancy. We’ll see when the delivery date is, because it’s likely going to be during the first round of the playoffs. Just like with the twins, it’s going to be a scheduled c-section, so we’ll try to make it happen when there’s a 3 day delay between games, so I can be there during delivery and spend the next 24 hours with them before I have to go.

As far as the team, it’s somewhat surprising to be leading the West again. It’s true we had a dominant start of the season, but after a while it looked like Oklahoma was running away with it. Nevertheless, with ten wins in a row and some unexpected loses from Oklahoma and Miami, we find ourselves at the top of the NBA again. Even though that doesn’t affect our situation much and I don’t put much stock on it, there’s some merit in fighting at the top and being the first team to win 50 games this season.

Nobody talks much about us and we’re flying under the radar, but always there. I read it’s the 15th consecutive season San Antonio reaches 50 or more wins, an amazing record. I’ve been here in 12 of those 15 seasons, and it’s spectacular to live this present after so many years and the same group of players. It’s an important mark and we’re all very happy, but aware there’s still a lot more to be done. It doesn’t mean much because it has already happened to us that we were 1st and we lost in the first round.

Such a high mark can be traced to the Popovich-Buford duo in the coach-management realm, and the fortune to have Tim Duncan, one of the top 50 players of all time, a true example as a person, humble, hard working, that never caused trouble, something that’s fairly uncommon in a franchise player. Since he joined the team, the coach stayed the same, I joined them, and a great degree of certainty was achieved which is rare in pro-sports, especially in the NBA, a league with worldwide reach. I can think of Manchester United with Alex Ferguson and Ryan Giggas, and Barcelona, now without the same coach but with the same players. We are aware we’re part of something exceptional.

The other day we were told that Tim, Tony and I have become the 2nd trio with most wins in NBA history. When you hear that, it puts things in perspective for a while, but then the ball goes back up in the air, and it’s back to dancing. We have to play and reach the objective of making it far.

The first four out of these ten games were pretty normal for us, with up and downs, but the last five or six were extremely good. That last friday, against the Lakers, every player on the team registered points, rebounds and assists was something circumstantial in a game that was over after one quarter and a half, but also a sign that we’re playing well, putting pressure on the opponent no matter how they’re playing, moving the ball and defending well. It’s true that this season we still have a negative record against top teams, but lately we played great against Chicago, and a pristine game at home against Miami. Also against Portland, who are not playing as well as the start of the season, which is a very dangerous team. And teams like Utah and the Lakers, you still have to go out there and beat them. If you don’t walk in with all the energy, they can beat you, like what happened to Oklahoma against the Lakers a few days ago. I’ve been surprised with the little streak from Indiana. We barely look at the East, I guess we’ll take another look at the end of the month. We have enough to worry about in the West... If there’s an eventual Finals against Indiana or Miami, we’ll see then. From New York I check the scores and Pablo’s stats, to see if they’re making the playoffs or not. Atlanta is falling down...

In short, it’s a great moment for us. We’re enjoying it and at the same time trying not to give it more importance that it has. You have to put things in place, at the end of the day it’s just a temporary streak. Now we get some important tests, like Golden State on the road, Houston a bit later and Indiana at the end of the month. We’ve already played most of the good teams. Out of 16 games left, there’s only 5 or 6 that are very difficult. The last few wins helped us get some confidence. There’s still some time until the playoffs, just about a month. A lot of things can happen until then. We have to look for our final identity towards that, but the impression is that there’s still ways to go.

Personally, in the first ten days after overcoming the injury I wasn’t well. I was very careful, doubtful. But in the last ten days I experienced a physical change, I feel stronger, with more capacity to get to the basket. You start to let go. I feel good, like at the start of the season, without doubts. I’m risking a little more, and so I’m scoring more. It’s not like Pop asked me to do it, he never says anything like that to anybody. It’s simply getting what the other team’s defense gives you, and you take what you think works. If it works, great.

I’m sure you’re all wondering about the shoe episode a few games back. Well, I’ve never had anything like that happen to me, not even remotely close. It was my fault. I had archived a couple of boxes of shoes in my garage for years, without air conditioner, and here in San Antonio the weather can go from 120 to 20 at any moment. That combination is extremely bad for the shoe material. I used one of those pairs and it happened. Luckily it’s just another anecdote.

Lastly, the last few days I wrote in Twitter that I’ve reached a milestone there. It’s something to point out not because I’ve been writing there for five years, but because Twitter changed us all. Nowadays, it looks like life without sharing on the social networks doesn’t exist, and it’s not like that. We were living without it not that long ago. I just thought it was cute to point it out. It’s amazing that something that went so deeply with society and produced such important changes has only been around for five years...

Thanks ElNono :tu

in one of my Beatles books, they have a McCartney drawing from his youth and it was pretty good, better than Lennon's doodles. Though McCartney has always been really talented, just too damn schmaltzy at times.

lol last sentence of that article. Ayres more PT? Yeah, that's the key to success.

[dorrrr]

Winning the championship is nice, but keeping the carer win percentage at a high clip is more important.

Huh? Can't believe that Manu (or any other player) said that.

Also "Teasing Duncan about game 7 when his mood allows" ? seriously? I find it really hard to believe that Manu wrote that, as well.

That unholy whore Yoko Ono tried to make a buck off them I think She had a show in Austin a few years ago, sold a bunch of prints, and gave the money to the food bank. Thousands...pretty cool!
