By playing in the Olympics, Manu reduces his chances of getting injured.
Oh, and please provide a direct quote on the raise that Manu has asked.
Fixed, since you basically tipped your hand when you made that statement.

That's where the "World Champions" thing is decided. The Celtics aren't the World Champions, they're the "USA (and Toronto) Champions".

The Spurs were the world champions until Manu bitched about the banners. The winner at the olympics is referred to as the gold medalist, not the world champion.

Re: Manu coming back to SA today
Yes I'm a little concerned about Manu going Grant Hill on us and especially when it deals with ankle injuries but hey as long as he's close to healthy I don't see anything wrong with him playing in the Olympics this summer. I just pray and hope he stays in one piece during the Olympics. I do think we need to get some young athletic swingmen so that they can play a lot of Manu's minutes during the regular season and that he can be rested and healthy for the playoffs.
Re: Manu coming back to SA today
I've basically realized that it's useless to argue with TPark. He doesn't see Manu as a person but rather as an object for his personal amusement. To him, Manu didn't exist until the day he hobbled into Spurs training camp late in 2002 and he will cease to exist the second he either retires or gets traded from the Spurs. Manu's past, his family, his culture, his country, any of the thousands of individual things that make Manu an independent human being don't matter to TPark. All he cares about is what he does on the basketball court in a Spurs uniform.
He says at 8.5M he doesn't understand how anyone can call him a slave, but really all he's doing is treating him like an indentured servant. He wants Manu to do nothing but think about Spurs basketball 7/24/365. Everything besides the Spurs is a "distraction" and should be eliminated.
You can't argue with people like TPark. He's the kind of guy who would probably get upset if Manu missed a game to attend his grandmother's funeral or something. "Goddammit you can grieve in the off-season, the Spurs pay you 8.5M to play 82 games a year!"
What more is there to say? The guy is so ignorant and so uneducated about everything outside of his backyard that HE THINKS THE OLYMPICS LAST FOR THREE MONTHS. You can't really teach somebody anything if they're unwilling to learn. Some poster tried to tell him that Manu has taken less money to play for the Spurs and this bonehead thinks it's a reference to his NEXT contract. He simply accepts that Manu has always made the salary he makes now and has no idea of the history or the context of it.
TPark is the kind of American who couldn't tell the difference between Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein, between Afghanistan and Iraq. To him there is no difference, a Muslim is a Muslim is a terrorist. He's the kind of guy who can't accept the rising cost of gas prices as in line with what the rest of the world has been paying for years because for him the rest of the world doesn't matter. My friends always debate how George W. Bush could've won not one but two elections. I mean, sure rich people vote Republican, but how could this dumb bastard have gotten so many votes?
Well right here is your answer. The country is FILLED with people like TPark. He is the personification of every crude stereotype people from elsewhere associate with Americans. When we criticize him, we're really criticizing ourselves. He and his fellow gammas (he won't get the reference, it comes from a book) mongrels bring the rest of us down as a whole.
Oh, and Ducks is just a twit. If he simply replaced every post he writes with a simple "I hate Manu Ginobili" no one would notice.

Wow that was harsh.:wow
What amuses me is TPark complaining about Ginobili's lack of commitment to the Spurs by playing for his NT while he QUIT on his team when they lost a simple playoff game.
Make up your mind TPark, is commitment important or is it not?:rolleyes

Manu Receive's Another Shot
Manu Ginobili | Spurs
Spurs guard Manu Ginobili was back in San Antonio on Wednesday in attempts to shore up his status for next month's Olympic Games in Beijing.
Ginobili has been battling inflammation in his left ankle throughout the summer, which has cast his availability for Argentina's national team in doubt. He traveled from Argentina to San Antonio this week to receive another anti-inflammatory shot.
Ginobili's ankle has been immobilized in a boot for the past two weeks. It will remain immobilized for four more days, after which time he will be re-examined. -- http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/s....19e8e0f2.html

this is how i see the situation with players, injuries, money, and commitment.
you take a job for millions upon millions and your hurt but wanna play bball in the olympics... ok fine. you wanna come back hobbling and expect to still bank while your asset(your body) is no more. i think if manu was healthy then so be it but the fact is that he isn't and hasn't been for some time and now his commitment is somewhere else with someone else who isn't paying him millions upon millions to compete.
yes granted the olympics are a prestige thing and an honor to those who play in them but... you have a career to think about and when you can't get off your feet because you have a bum ankle you didn't nurse back to 100% you don't deserve to make the type of money you demand.
manu is one of my top5 but this decision totally disgusts me because his career is on the line if things worsen and even though he knows this he still wants to go out and possibly end up worse off then he is right now.
i have a high respect for manu because he's such a warrior and a standup individual but i don't like the decision he is making right now to join his NT in defending their gold. manu will not be sporting the silver&black if he gets even more hurt he will be sporting a suit in a charter seat behind the other spurs if things get worse.
Re: Manu coming back to SA today
I just think it's funny that the fact that T Park is a dumbfuck allows some idiot liberal to claim superiority over the half of the country that keeps his ass safe.
