Ditka couldn't have stopped Manu tonight

[FromWayDowntown]

WOAI was reporting tonight that Manu's 24 consecutive points are a Spurs franchise record (Gervin had it previously with 23 straight, apparently in his 63 point masterpiece in 1978). They were unsure about what the NBA record was, but thought it was possible that Manu could have set that record as well.

Ginobili was never born a lefty. He willed it.

Ginobili taught David Robinson, Beno Udrih, NVE, Nate Archibald, Larry Bird, Calbert Cheaney, Chris Mullen, Bill Russell, Bill Walton and Lenny Wilkins and Lamar Odom to be lefties.
and me :D

BTW, is the reigning 3pt-shooter Jason Kapono a lefty?

Manu is the alpha and the omega. He is the schizney! He is Manuficent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6th-man!, 6th man!
By the way Manu doesn't want to be known as a sixth man. I remember two years ago when someone asked him about winning the award he said that he'd rather be known as an energy guy that helped his team win but not a sixth man of the year :oops :lol

This says that MJ had set a record for the most consecutive points in a row at 23 points. And guess who he ended up torchering too ;).


He poured in 58 points against the New Jersey Nets on February 26, then toasted the Atlanta Hawks for 61 on April 16 in a game in which he sank an NBA-record 23 points in a row.

The game was tied 15-15 when Manu scored that driving, 1-handed floater that went as high as the top of the backboard before nestling into the basket with 2:27 remaining in the 1st quarter. Manu then outscored the Hawks 24-8 over the course of the next 4:47 and the Spurs led 39-23 at the 9:40 mark of the 2nd quarter.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Sorry to get here so late. A few things worth mentioning:

-Britney Spears' new haircut started as an attempt to copy Manu's hair but quickly got out of hand.

-Peyton Manning was finally able to stop playing scared against the New England Patriots after head coach Tony Dungy set him straight on a very important fact. The media often compared the Spurs and Patriots because of parallels between the two teams' philosophies and successes, not because Manu Ginobili played for both teams.

-The elbow that Kobe Bryant was suspended for was actually due to Ginobili going to great lengths to create contact. At a precisely timed moment, Ginobili took a deep breath in through his nose and the incredible suction did the rest.

-Despite numerous complaints about his style of play the league has yet to do anything to Ginobili. The reason? Ginobili has warned David Stern that should any action be taken he will undergo a sex change operation, defect to the WNBA, and laugh as Stern's league folds in a matter of hours.

-Lots of people would like to think their shit doesn't stink, but in the case of Manu Ginobili it's true. His biggest source of income outside of basketball is selling his excrement to auto manufacturers to create what is commonly known as "that new car smell."

Bro, Ditka could take MICHAEL JORDAN in dominos or a dunk contest...I'm pretty sure he would've found a way to plant Manu into the hardwood. :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

ha I watched the video recap. That one three at the Buzzer wasn't his usual type of three. He was just ON FIRE. He wasn't stationary, Kobe does those kind of threes. Not Manu.

[Clutch20]

If you're watching the game, you're watching Ginobili settling into a rhythm that is almost a pure, pristine lazer-guided offense.

Sometimes when he can't play that way, he turns into a border bandit with steals, blocks and an assortment of game stoppers happening too quickly to see until the slomo replay.

Oddly, MFin is now playing a bit like that. He was hot midearly in game but is playing decent D together along with Jacq, those steals tranalating into points.

As poor as their game has been, this good regular rhythm that the Spurs have now seem like, well, superb play, in contrast.

But they have to keep up their consistency and not be so complacent the first 5 minutes of every first period.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

thanks. I don't know, I think Manu could make those shots regularly. No prob.
Really? I never see him take them, most of the time he'd prefer to get the kick out from Tim or whoever, and take them when he's open enough and the defender is late. I've never seen him get so confident in his three-ball lit's a lot better I noticed this year than any other year.

When Manu is in a good mood, he allows teams to select their poison before they die.

"When you face a player like Ginobili you have to decide if you want him driving to the basket or pulling up and shooting behind screens," Magic coach Brian Hill said. "Tonight we wanted Ginobili shooting behind screens." Ginobili matched one franchise record with five 3-pointers in the third quarter and another with six total in the second half.

[wildbill2u]

I think Manu is still recognized as a starter for most of the league. He has started the majority of their games. The award is probably David Lee or Leandro Barbosa's.
Manu is not really a 6th Man. He just gives the opposing team's players a few minutes head start.

[wildbill2u]

Just remember, he wasn't even in the All-Star game or chosen to be one of the injury replacements. I guess that means he's not one of the best 30 players in the league... :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao
It was a conspiracy. Stern was afraid of what would happen if Manu put on a one man show:

Manu steals the ball and rifles a pass to Manu streaking downcourt. Manu passes to Manu who dribbles between his legs, causing two defenders to fall down. Manu gives a perfect pass to Manu who reverse dunks over Ben Wallace and Dwight Howard. He's fouled and makes the FT. ....well, you can see what this would do to the NBA.

Manu cured Tim's plantar fasciitis just by looking at him. He tought Tony how to shoot just by touching him. Nazr Mohammad asked Manu to help him catch the ball and Manu ordered Pop to let him go in the offseason. There are some miracles even Manu cannot perform.

In the three games the series that timvp bumped this thread before the game, Manu averaged 27.7 points and 7.7 rebounds on 51% shooting. In the three games the series that timvp didn't bumped this thread before the game, Manu averaged 8 points and 6 rebounds on 25% shooting.

Perhaps the Church of Manu can send me a gift basket. :smokin

doesn't your bump come after the fact?

No, he has bumped it on the afternoon BEFORE each of Manu's big games.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

No, he has bumped it on the afternoon BEFORE each of Manu's big games.just checked it, and you're right. Props to timvp for that! and as far as the gift goes, how about a 1 year free membership to the Church of Manu? Normally we require an initiation fee of one playoff's worth blind ass kissing of Manu's holyness, but for you, we'll make an exception :toast

Manu did it again, after a nite where I'd love to kick his ass he came back to ride Spurs to 4-0 in the 4th quarter ... enjoy it ...

Believe me when I tell you I was afraid with that late run from Cavs ...:D

Spurs will break the 72-10 record. Tim, Tony and Manu at the ASG. Spurs repeat. The End.

Hey! You can't shoot from behind the basket...can you?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Hey! You can't shoot from behind the basket...can you?
It's only illegal because the league knows Manu makes that shot upwards of 80% of the time and there's no way to guard against it. They have to do something to keep things competitive.

[wildbill2u]

Manu is THE CLOSER!
This comment from the playoffs was appropriate again last night. I even predicted that Manu would win the game with foul shots.

Manu is THE CLOSER

[Demo Dick Marcinko]

In order to keep Manu from taking my wife, family, house and business, I'd be smart to pay homage to him:

for proper decorum and simply to keep Manu off your ass, please recite these lines in hushed, reverent tones with your hands clapsed firmly in prayer and kneel before your shrine to Manu and if you do not have a shrine to Manu, may Manu have mercy on your soul.

Manu keeps the sun burning.

He threatened the Soviets with Manuism...they wept.

He performs abortions and the only compensation he will accept is scotch.

He is the father of every human ever.

He wrote Stairway to Heaven and thought it was his worst composition so he sold it to Jimmy Page.

Manu once made love to Old Faithful.

[Demo Dick Marcinko]

I once saw Manu wrestle an alligator. Well he didn't wrestle it as much as have sex with it, but it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw.

It was Manu who took out his own rib to create woman, because he was really, really, horny.

Manu bought a new watch a few years back, so he gave his old one to his pal back in England. They took it and made Big Ben.

He has a summer beach house in Jurassic Park.

Manu once took a crap on Picasso... not a painting the actual artist.

[LilMissSPURfect]

Hey! You can't shoot from behind the basket...can you?


only if you're Manu!!!!!!!!!!!

[tmtcsc]

Manu didn't learn to speak English, English learned to come out of his mouth.

Manu shoots 200 jump shots a day so the ball can get used to him.

Manu invented the exclamation mark...

The Sun rises when Manu gets up.

Manu invented the color red.

Manu taught Neil Peart how to play drums.

That's all I got.

[sa_kid20]

Manu once bowled a perfect game without throwing a single strike.

[Cherry]

Is the Ditka thread up yet?

Memo to all NBA Teams:

1- Don´t hit Manu in the left eye
2- Don´t hit Manu in the nose (never!)
3- Don´t scratch Manu in the back
4- Don´t trash talking to Manu

[pawe]

hells yeah!!

[phyzik]

When you see a burger king commercial and they say "have it your way" they are talking to Manu since he kicked the kings ass. Everytime you have a burger, its actually manu's way.

Manu's nose is so big to let him be aerodynamic (if this word exist in english) :p:
