Hi!

First time here. I didn't intend to write but this thread deserves a comment.


I think that everyone who is here is: 1) An American that the only Argentine sportsman that knows in depth is Manu, and/or 2) A huge fan of Manu, and/or 3) An Argentine basketball fan.


Before you think I don't like Manu, I want to clarify that I really like Ginobili and I consider him the best argentine basketball player.


BUT he is very very far from being the best Argentine sportsman in the history.


In fact, Ginobili was not considered the best player of his sport in his time... neither the best player in his position... neither the best player on his team.


I really love Ginobili but in this forum his figure is exaggerated when some people (for lack of objectivity) wants to compare him with other athletes that were globally considered the best in their sport.


Juan Manuel Fangio, Diego Maradona, Adolfo Cambiaso, Leo Messi.


I can also add those that were considered the best in their sport for a shorter period of time.


Luciana Aymar, Carlos Monzon, Roberto De Vicenzo.


All those named above were considered "the best in the world in their sport" by the very federation of the sport they practiced.


Ginobili is great an we love him, but barely gets to be in the TOP 10 of best Argentine athletes in history.


This is my opinion but it is based on a logical and solid criterion.

[lefty]

1. Manu
2. Maradona



3. Fab



4. Sergio Aguero






5. Missi

Almost agree.

I would have :

5. Sabatini
6. Kempes
7. Missi

sorry except for the boxer you didn’t include any real sports

good effort though

[gilmor2002]

Mario Kempes is the best by far..

[MB20]

Manu is top 3...with Maradona and Fangio.
Better than Distefano, Messi, Vilas, Monzon

Messi is a proven club only player who needs a dream team around him to shine and does jack shit for his country...and routinely quits on them when they lose. He's a straight up little bitch, literally the Kawhi of soccer. Monzon was a great boxer but his career wasn't long enough. Maradona is drunkard and dope fiend. Fangio was a fucking driver. Manu is God...you fail, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Manu is top 3...with Maradona and Fangio.

Fangio would've been a hell of an Uber driver and I would've loved to have had him deliver my pizzas but I'm not going to place him in a list of actual athletes.

[Mikeanaro]

Even media (biggest Maradona ass kissers) said Manu is #1.

What are you talking about? All media here said he is #1.
But also naming people like Luciana Aymar who never had any worldwide recognition, could barely beat the Netherlands like 2 out of 11 times.
Monzon was great but not for 16 years.
Who is Vicenzo?
Cambiaso? News channels here have never showed him on a daily basis like they did with Manu, Messi or Tevez.

Argentina has had many goats actually. Messi, Maradona, Fangio, Devicenzo, Vilas, Monzón (among others) have been bigger than Manu at their respective sports.

Why are people acknowledging glorified Uber drivers as being athletes? Just go to the nearest freeway at midnight and see people drive fast, tbh. I know red states love professional paid speed racers but to place them in line with supreme athletes like Manu is ridiculous, tbh.

So Manu isn't even Top 5 in Argieland?

[diego]

In terms of being an undisputed goat, manu is not top 5.
But IMO, manu's success was the most impressive because of its unlikelihood.

Maradona was a superstar age 12, not the first "best player in the world" from Argentina. Messi had a "hard path" be he was already objectively great by age 20.
Monzon, Argentina has a rich tradition of boxers. Same with field hockey.
Tennis and racing are individual sports, people come from anywhere and do well.
Basketball is different. It is dominated by the US, ex Yugoslavia, argentina's league is far far away from NBA and Europe and even brasil, and even then, manu was a late bloomer, wasn't even considered special in his own town! And don't forget that manu is from a small town on the other side of the planet. His family lived and breathed basketball for generations, but none of them ever sniffed Europe, national teams, never mind being an NBA legend.

Maradona was better in his sport, but what manu accomplished is more impressive.

PS: I have two boys, Diego and Manu :lol

This is the thing that I'm trying to explain.


I love Manu but it would be disrespectful to all that great champions and for the sport of my country to say that Ginobili is the best.



In terms of being an undisputed goat, manu is not top 5.
But IMO, manu's success was the most impressive because of its unlikelihood.


And this opinion, which is totally valid, is the one that I do not share.


We cann't say that Ginobili is better than many of those champions "because of its unlikelihood". That is a subjective appreciation.

No media in Argentina says he is the best Argentine athlete in history.


Manu received a lot of attention yesterday because is retiring and he really was a very important athlete for Argentine basketball, but even when a journalist asks if it can be considered among the best in history, some more experienced sports journalist always comes out to explain the reality.


PS: Mikeanaro: I'm not looking for a debate, but if you don't know De Vicenzo (winner of +230 major golf championships and world champion), Cambiaso (Number 1 on the World Polo Tour ranking for +10 years with +150 titles) or Aymar (was declared the best hockey player in history by the International Hockey Federation) is your problem.


As I say, I love Manu, it's a great player and also an awesome human been. But I will not disrespect the greatest athletes from my country saying that Manu is the best. Argentina has a lot of #1 in their respective sports.

[DAF86]

So Manu isn't even Top 5 in Argieland?

For many folks he is, for sentimental reasons; but if you look at things objectively, he isn't.

America, TN, Canal 13 and Telefe said he was the #1.
He´s been covered all of his career, also lets be fair, if you say nobody cares about BB here, why would they care about Polo or Golf? rich kids stuff.

For a fact, if you go to any place asking about Ginobili everyone knows who he is, nobody knows about Cambiaso, De Vicenzo, and some may know Aymar who is retired.
Lots of people here have Manu´s jerserys, nobody have Aymar ones or Cambiaso ones.
Lol from what I see here, De Vicenzo was a local phenom, won like 130 argentine tournaments, 62 south american wins and only 8 pga tours.
As for Cambiaso, is all about rich kids... using horses is for faggots.

What were Manu's biggest accomplishments with the NT? Olympic Gold medal and WC runner-up. Exact same shit Messi did.

[SpurPadre]

No, not same shit. Argentina wasn't expected to win those medals in basketball and Manu single-handedly got those medals for them. In soccer, Argentina was expected to accomplish much, MUCH more but they failed even when the team structured its players and strategy to highlight Messi's strengths. Worst of all is that when they've lost, he quit on the team and country. Just this summer, he decided to leave the NT again after their WC ouster...which is the 3rd time he's quit on the NT. Pathetic, tbh.

Wasn't expected because Argentina was never a powerhouse of basketball, but that particular group of players was the best NT in the World at that time. They are called the Golden Generation for a reason. That BB NT >>>>> anything Messi had to play with.

Dont mix things up, BB and Futbol are team sports.
Messi could not even win the WC, always needs stellar players to win in Europe.
The Olympic medal was vs TD AI Lebron Wade and others, Manu had sub par talent, almost none of those guys made shit in the NBA.
And in FIBA championships Spain ducked USA to finish second.

Mechi is a disgrace at 31 years old, Manu is a legend at 41.

[SpurPadre]

No way. Messi has had to play with a squad full of stars whether he's in the NT or in club play, where he plays with a dream team basically. Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria, Paolo Dybala, Gonzalo Higuain are rightfully considered one of the many stars in a loaded NT. They've been loaded for over a decade. To say Messi has had to carry a bunch of scrubs is highly inaccurate.

Bunch of overlapping talent while lacking on other key areas. The Golden Generation had elite talent on all positions:

PG: Pepe Sanchez and Montecchia, SG: Manu and Delfino, SF: Nocioni and Herman, PF: Scola, C: Oberto and Wolkowiski.

LOL...how many All-Stars were among that group besides God Ginobili? That's right, NONE. Solid players, of course but not "elite" by any stretch of the imagination.

[DAF86]

LOL...how many All-Stars were among that group besides God Ginobili? That's right, NONE. Solid players, of course but not "elite" by any stretch of the imagination.

Elite for NT competition without a doubt. How many NTs had rosters with 8 or 9 NBA players on it?

[Brazil]

I'm not argentinean and for instance I have no clue of who is luciana aymar

but as from an outsider I'd only rank Fangio, Messi, Diego, Di Stefano and monzon above him

[Mikeanaro]

The thing with Diego is he peaked for 2 years, maybe 3, never won a Champions, no Intercontinental Cups (mundial de clubes), no Copa America.
So outside the WC where he did nothing in the final game, he never made much, people loves to point the Naples crap, Aimar and the Valencia won the league vs stacked he had to face prime Zidane, Ronaldo, twice but who cares.

Same with Mechi, lost twice vs Chile the Copa America, no relevant history with the NT, lots of stuff in Barcelona because he played with a Dream Team, no heart no balls.
Also this last WC he was pathetic, grabbing his head during the national anthem such a disgrace, you can use your legs to run... a quitter, fuck him.

Fangio and Monzon were individual, no team based.
Nobody talked about them before since it was all about Maradroga, so why count them now?

[Mikeanaro]

Elite for NT competition without a doubt. How many NTs had rosters with 8 or 9 NBA players on it?
Wouldnt say that, when Manu started with the injuries they couldnt make shit.
Also 8 or 9? Scola Nocioni Oberto,
Delfino and Herrmann were benchwarmers.
Thats not elite.

Are there any Argentine basketball players in the basketball HOF? Will Manu have a shot at being first?

[99 Problems]

A little tale of Fangio.

Many years ago (early 90s) I was at a Mercedes-Benz facility when Fangio visited for a tour. He was shown around by the Hobknobs, meeting and greeting, smiling. Long before anybody had dreamed of selfies etc. He was a little old man with grey hair. Although not a fan of motor sport myself, I knew of all the legends, Stirling Moss, Jack Brabham and Fangio himself etc, Infact there’s oldsaying from growing up ‘steady on Fangio’ to a driver who may be giving it a spurt or cutting a corner hastily etc lol. From memory, Fangio post racing was something like Head of Mercedes South America. Such was his friendliness he spoke openly when an older colleague asked him about the ‘big crash’ many decades earlier which I think Mercedes did not race after for some time.
