Re: Official : Ginobili "No chance" to play vs Lithuania for Bronze Medal
So let me get this straight...
Prior to the game, there was a huge debate over some Americans rooting for Manu and Team Argentina over Team USA. The battle cry was "Country over Spurs!"
Manu chose his country over the Spurs.
So, it's country over Spurs only when it's the United States?
Nice dose of hypocrisy.
Re: Official : Ginobili "No chance" to play vs Lithuania for Bronze Medal
What the hell do Americans care about Argentina?
and for that matter, what the hell do Argentines care about America? None. They bullied Manu into playing for them, KNOWING he was injured, KNOWING Popovich and the Spurs asked him not to play.
Americans aren't stupid, you slutty whore. We don't get stuck with YOUR dinner bills.

I'm sure you've noticed alot of posters here aren't very consistent. They only choose what they want to remember, when it's convenient.
Pride and desire is part of Manu's makeup. Seeing as he's one of the most steady human beings anyone has seen, I don't know how some of you expect him to be one way with his NT, another way with the Spurs. If you only care about what he brings to the table when it's your table, you don't deserve him.
Re: Official : Ginobili "No chance" to play vs Lithuania for Bronze Medal
Of COURSE we only care about America, you sloppy slut. What the F do we care about Argentina? I don't give a shit if your country wins a gold medal. In fact, if the USA is competing for THAT SAME gold medal, I want America to win and Argentina to lose.
I'm sure Argentina fans are the same way. It's called patriotism, cum guzzler.
And now, Manu NEEDS THE NBA MORE THAN THE NBA NEEDS HIM.
If Manu still played in Italy and NEVER played in the NBA, he would NEVER have been as popular. He wouldn't have been able to play in the BEST league in the world or get as many fans OR GET PAID AS MUCH MONEY.
It's MANU who doesn't deserve the Spurs and the NBA, you piece of shit. He would never have been as rich as he is now, as famous as he is now.

Back off. Spurschick has more class and has made more sense than all of your posts combined. You're the type of poster that gives the US a bad name. It wasn't about America vs Argentina. It's the hypocrisy and inconsistency she's calling out.
Manu didn't need to be bullied to play for Argentina.
Re: Official : Ginobili "No chance" to play vs Lithuania for Bronze Medal
Screw the Olympics. Screw team USA. Screw team Argentina. The Olympics, an institution dedicated to promoting xenophobia, warped ideas of sportsmanship and to lining the pockets of corrupt officials.
Manu made a stupid choice. He made a stupid choice way back when he came out in that championship game and played on a bum ankle. Now he and the Spurs have to live with his bad decsions. Hopefully they don't resign him after his current contract is up. Let him go play for Bahia Blanca
Re: Official : Ginobili "No chance" to play vs Lithuania for Bronze Medal
Of COURSE it's USA over Argentina.
If Manu does the same, I DON'T SUPPORT HIM. WHY? Because his country is not the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
What's so hard to understand? Americans don't give a fuck about Argentina and Argentina doesn't give a fuck about America.
Re: Official : Ginobili "No chance" to play vs Lithuania for Bronze Medal
Manu has made a lot more money (and a lot more money for other foreign players) by coming to the Spurs and being a tremendous player in the NBA.
The Argentine NT helped develop Manu into being a great player. He was trying to pay them back and it didn't work out this time.

Manu is out for the game against Lithuania.
He hasn't had a MRI because his ankle is still swollen.
Spurs wanted him back now but Manu has decided to stay in Beijing to cheer for Argentina Tomorrow.
He will go back in SA on Monday.

I hope he is ok.....and just needs rest. At least it is not a broken foot like Pau Gasol got.

Unfortunate yes, but not the end for the Spurs.
FAIL. He had almost two months off between the Laker series and the Olympics. He also didn't do anything noticeable to the ankle, he just cut and passed the ball. I think he's out until January or February if they want him healed for the playoffs, and not crumpling to the court every month or so for no reason.
Re: Official : Ginobili "No chance" to play vs Lithuania for Bronze Medal
From the same article:
"Manu' quiere estar con sus compañeros en este encuentro tan importante. Pero no va a jugar, porque le había dado su palabra a San Antonio que, en caso de sentir dolor, no saldría a la cancha. Y lo está cumpliendo", le dijo a la agencia Télam un allegado del bahiense.
Translation:
"Manu wants to be with his teammates in this important game, but he will not play because he gave his word to San Antonio that, if he felt any pain, he would not go onto the court. He is keeping that promise," one of Manu's relatives told the Telam agency.
Re: Official : Ginobili "No chance" to play vs Lithuania for Bronze Medal
Thats a case of too little too late I am afraid. What a pickle Manu and the Spurs are in.

What's really difficult to understand is why you're even commenting. You're a Heat fan. What the hell do you care what happens to Manu anyway?
And thanks for calling me a slutty whore. That was so sweet.
