Real talk, why is two time all-star manu more beloved than 7 time all star tony..

[apalisoc_9]

Manu is going to retire as the mpst popular spur ever and if you ask every mexican the answer is always manu. They say it's the cultural comnection.

And then I told them about how Argentinians hate people of colour...

[tbdog]

58th pick. Outplayed Tony in 2003 and 2005 finals. Was epic in game 5 of 2014 finals. Hit some clutch shots. Ball was in his hands in the clutch. Was Underpaid throughout, and probably the second best sg in his prime, only behind Kobe. We t to the bench without a moan. Publicly is honest and open on his thought process. Defeated USA in the Olympics which is a great for the game. And didn't have issues with Brent Barry.

Tony is French. Arrogance is there. I like Tony and he doesn't deserve the hate. Manu seems humble.

[Hoops Czar]

All Star comparison is ridiculous. Manu came off the bench for his entire career. How often do you see bench players playing in All Star games?

[BatManu20]

Because Manu doesn't bang his teammate's wives, tbh.

Manu has that perfect salad tossing nose and huge penis. On the other hand, Tony gives great head:

http://www.nba.com/media/spurs/lead_051123.jpg


I'm going to go with they both leave my balls empty?

[callo1]

Tenacity

Willingness to sacrifice stats and come off of the bench

Humility

Approachable


While I like TP, and I think they both are deserving of accolades, Manu is the easier of the two for many people to root for (he fit the underdog role coming off of the bench).

Manu's 2005 playoff performance was brilliant, and one could argue that he and Timmy should have shared the Finals MVP award. Some people will only remember the foul on Dirk in "06 or the 2013 Finals, but without Manu there is no way the Spurs would have had the same amount of success as a franchise.

Does the preference for Manu play into cultural connections for some? Most certainly, but I do not think it does so in an unhealthy biased nature. Manu's spoken language bridges the gap to many in the wonderful Spanish speaking communities in the greater San Antonio area. On the other hand, I think some fans remember Tony with Eva, and in comparison to Manu, there is a big gap present.

I am not a Spanish speaker (I understand a bit here and there), but nevertheless, I am a huge Manu fan. I am also a big TP fan, and frankly, I get tired of the sophomoric "porker" comments that are so pervasive on this forum.

Ice, D'rob, Timmy, TP and Manu, and Bruce will always be considered the greatest Spurs of all time to me personally, with Kawhi continuing to build his impressive resume to join that list.

Parker the best Spur for many years. Manu, a glorified role player.

[TheGreatYacht]

If Ginosebleed was American, none of his fluffers would choose him over Duncan, Parker, and Kawhi like they do. He benefits from being a Hispanic in a Hispanic majority city. I mean, the guy has less individual awards than Jamal Crawford yet he's still somehow their favorite :lol I wonder why

I wish Mexicans realized that Argies can't stand them or anyone else of color....

[TheGreatYacht]

If I showed you Manure's stats last year without putting a name or picture on them... Do you think the Mexicans here would suck his cock to comeback at 40yrs old? Nope.

Parker has and will always put up superior numbers, but unfortunately he'll never get the respect he deserves because he doesn't speak español. Smh....

[SAGirl]

Really is the boring part of the season...
pointless debates about guys that should retire...
guys getting touchy about having cases of severe OCD...
and of course Tony vs Manu threads... :lol

which resulted in two ruined {divorces} marriages and the end of two families. I think most here
would have kicked Tony's ass up one side and down the other before taking a splintered bat and
ramming it up his ass! There are some things a so called friend doesn't do to his buddy. :ihit

BatManu20 has it right.

[TheGreatYacht]

Because he has huge heart
:cry numbers may favor Tony, but Manu dove for balls :cry


made some massively clutch plays
More like made some championship losing plays, and sometimes he made 8 of them.


doesn't show up out of shape
Neither did Bonner. Both still role players and scrubs though


doesn't fuck teammates' wives
Doesn't save his teammates from marrying whores*


and generally doesn't seem like a dick.

[Spurtacular]

:lmao Faggot OP says Manu is his second-favorite Spur and then starts this thread two days later.

[cutewizard]

in my humble opinion, Manu is the second best off guard of all time,

after Jordan, and ahead of Oscar Schmidt

[Pocho La Pantera]

Love Mexicans, the only mexican I don't is The Great Faggot

[thiste]

I personally loved both of them with the Spurs, but as a French guy myself, I've always wondered why all the hate against Tony while he's also responsible for a significant part of the Spurs success over the years.

My best guess is, while Tim was indubitably the first banana, there was some kind of competition among the fans as to who is the second banana. And since Manu is hispanic and might come off as more relatable, Tony became the (French) devil... which is totally unwarranted.

Nobody would doubt that Tony gave all he could to the Spurs for the 15 years he's been here. Manu would be the first to tell you that.

BTW, my favorite Spurs is still Tim.

[Old School 44]

I like them both, but the edge goes to Manu. Not for stats, not even debating whether he is or isn't the better player. Manu gets the edge for heart, desire, showmanship and just pure entertainment. I just enjoy watching him play. Not to knock Tony, but when was the last time you saw him dive for a loose ball or setup in the lane to take a charge?

Hes a fellow messicant/threadHa. Truth to this. I can count on one hand succesful latinos in basketball. In history. So yes, it helps to see an honorary mescan playing for the Spurs.

[tmtcsc]

It's pretty simple for me.

Manu comes to play every night and gives 100%. The asswhip that is Tony Parker is the undependable guy who sat out with tummy issues in Game 6 against in 2003 WCF against Dallas. The same guy who Speedy Claxton had to bail out during the 2003 Finals because he was shitting the bed performance-wise. Same guy who jeopardized a possible Jason Kidd signing. Same guy who missed 2nd half of Game 6 against OKC in 2014 WCF and needed Corey Joseph to bail his ass out.

Manu is the guy came back from a broken arm to play during the playoffs, gave up a testicle while taking a charge, hit big baskets on the road during the playoffs while everyone else seemed to play like scared sheep. Manu was never intimidated by anything or any team, was friggin entertaining to watch and always handled himself with class.

[bd_monster]

You put Manu in starting lineup and hes getting 5 to 10 all star appearances.

You need to watch more. Parker was not relied upon in 2003 and lost mins to Speedy. Also as much as we blame Manu for 6. He won us game 7 in 2005.

[$pursDynasty]

real talk while Timmay is widely acknowledged as the greatest of the big 3 he doesn't engender the passion that the CoM does either, so why does the CoM have the most shouting acolytes??? :rolleyes It's not just a Tony thing, though Tony haters would like it to be it is a irrational love of Manu. Who I love too when I don't want to strangle him. There were times Timmay fumbled the ball too much or Tony took an ill advised shot they weren't instantly forgiven for it like Manu is.

Oh and Manu was relied upon in 2003? He wasn't even scoring double figures and Parker was the second option and leading assist guy while having to do that against the best PG in the game.

Manu was a rookie. Besides, Manu helped fuel that fourth quarter run to seal the title while Parker was benched for like the whole quarter.

[Clipper Nation]

Because Manu is the better player and the Spurs are light at least three because of Porker.

[rastaspur]

Cooler dude, tbh. He is more likeable.

[Calispursfan11]

Manu just has a more likeable personality. Manu, despite being one of the best foreign players ever is genuinely humble. In contrast, you see variations in Tony Parker's effort and he' a little smug even when he is trying to act humble. He doesn't leave it all on the floor each time and as some have said here while Manu leaves it out there EVERY time even when he's crippled or down a limb. That's why Manu is more beloved- he embodies the quintessential Spur.

[Strategic]

Sour koolaid. About it.

[Proxy]

more likeable personality, always went all out, never went heroball like Tony did, more exciting to watch, and yeah... the spanish speaking thing for sure

[Horse]

I see no need to pick one over the other but we all know Manu is so much more than the number of times some moron fans voted him allstar.

[$pursDynasty]

real answer is there is no accounting for taste. Why is Timmay not higher in best of all time conversations (or Kareem for that matter)? Why do some regard KG and Kobe to be equal to or greater than Tim when subjectively that isn't true? Two things though Manu is a flash player he either does something magnificent or something horrific when on the floor. Fans of Manu have the magnificent burned in their brains where his detractors cannot let go of horrifying moves when a standard play would do. Either way what he does is more memorable. Either Tony is hitting his shot and is called a hero, or isn't and is called out for being a bad one but those things don't sear the memory like what Manu does for good or ill. That plus he did sacrifice a testicle for the team that is taking one for the team to a whole new level.

Hispanic is related to culture, not to spanish nationality, all the spanish colonies that now are independent countries are hispanic cultures, so Manu is considered hispanic, even if his lastname is italian. His lastname could be Ginobilovich and he will still be considered hispanic because he was born and raised in Argentina.

I have never seen Manu stat pad. I've never seen him even look like he cares about his stats. I can't say the same for Tony. There's a reason Tony does this though, he knows in talking circles around the world faggots like these throw out stats without context so why the fuck does he care about context? Just score as much as you can, hell it got Russell Westbrook the MVP.

Other than that, Manu seems like a nice guy - like an average person could hang out with him. Tony seems like a stuffy douchebag probably because he is. Must have something to do with being French but I probably can't say that about all French people just the douchebag French people like Tony.

Manu is a creator, and an artist. Tony is a paint-by-numbers guy. Tony goes to his spots does his moves but outside of that he's basically lost. Manu never does the same thing twice other than turn the ball over.

Lol, dude's airballed more game-winning attempts than Tony's even attempted.

Knowing you made a statement without linking any proof to substantiate your claim is one thing. But I do remember back when Nestle Crunch was tracking "crunch time" stats, Manu was perennially at or near the top of the list above the likes of Kobe, Wade, T-Mac and Carmelo - popular players who had more of "clutch" rep than Manu. I'm sure those stats are googleable...

[Phenomanul]

The whole Enrique Hero ball thing with Tony started back when he began to lose a step but still felt he was the one that needed to take shots in the 4th quarter - outside of the offense. I say that because I believe that in his prime Tony WAS a clutch player as well.

I think a difference is that Manu was often clutch on both ends of the court...

[Ginobilly]

Hispanic is related to culture, not to spanish nationality, all the spanish colonies that now are independent countries are hispanic cultures, so Manu is considered hispanic, even if his lastname is italian. His lastname could be Ginobilovich and he will still be considered hispanic because he was born and raised in Argentina.

Actually Manu does have some "Hispanic" blood. He said years ago on his website that his heritage is 75% Italian(marchesan) and 25% Spanish (galician). Case closed on whether he's Hispanic or not.


The reason manu is more liked than Tony and Tim ever were is because he's not a dick to his fans. Players build reputations when they're out in public and interact with NBA fans. I personally seen Tony with his mom and brother shopping at petsmart and suddenly getting approached by two white teenage girls. Tony just ignored them and had his brother to tell them to fuck off. I also had a friend who worked at quiznos where Tim was a regular there, and he said Tim would just ignore autograph and selfie requests from fans. He wouldn't even acknowledge his fans.

[hitmanyr2k]

I've always been partial to two-way players who put in the effort on both ends and weren't all about stats. Duncan, Ginobili and Kawhi fit that mold. Parker never did. Also, Ginobili's game was far more exciting to watch than Parker whether it was scoring or play-making.

I personally don't give a shit but...

From what I understand she just found intimate texting that's it.

IMO Tony is gay anyway... :lol

My point is, this is all media/PR BS and everybody is jumping on it like judgemental idiots for years (mainly on this forum) without really knowing anything.

I've always been partial to two-way players who put in the effort on both ends and weren't all about stats. Duncan, Ginobili and Kawhi fit that mold. Parker never did. Also, Ginobili's game was far more exciting to watch than Parker whether it was scoring or play-making.

bro, watch out, Tony is the most protected player in this site, tbh...

He is extremely entertaining to watch. One of the best ever in that regard. On Pistol Pete levels, probably.

I'd argue that Bonner is the most protected player in Spurstalk history, though.

This is such a dumb thread.

It comes down to entertainment. It's perfectly arguable which one had more of an impact on the Spurs they both played their parts.

Manu could shoot the 3 and dunk. End of story. Parker is only layups and elbow jumpers. One of those styles of play is more entertaining than the other.
