Of course, I'm glad they specified that that was Pop picking him up because from my perspective it appeared that Manu was being kidnapped by a homeless man.

:lol Yeah, Pop looks funny in shorts.

Pop said something in the video but it was covered by the "Cuss you Cuss you" (???) comment...

What did he say? :)

Re: Ginobili does not regret playing in the Olympics

I have given Manu a lot of crap about perhaps lying about being healthy and playing anyway...but his sincerity in video seemed very genuine. He did what he had to do and I will no longer fault him for it.

Get well Manu...and take as long as possible. :toast

Popovich has been handling this so far with more class than, ahem, certain people who have less invested in Ginobili than he does.

I hope Manu & Many got their bags returned. Any word on their lost bags?

Thanks for the video. Manu is the so sweet...geez, I love him so as a person and a player!!! :toast

And Manu shouldn't have any regrets!!!

Very cool that Pop picked them up from the airport. :D

Shit Manu looked like the hobo. He looked like the shit getting the medal though. He just needs to think seriously about rogaine or having a buzz cut, cuz that shit looks bad from the view fans get. Course only people like Yao, Shaq, and Tim see it in real life.

If Manu gets the flu anytime in the next year, his critics will say it's probably the Asian flu! See? He shouldn't have gone to the evil Olympics!!!

Manu to himself at terminal: "Oh, shit . . . . "

I'm pretty sure even though Pop didn't want him to play in the Olympics, that he, as an ex-military guy and patriot, would very likely have made the same decision if put in Manu's position. Regardless, they are both wise enough to not waste time dwelling on an unchangeable past, and will deal with the situation at hand.

Best way to handle it. Pop's more than just a coach to spurs players. His caring side is an asset to the team.

CIA Pop making it seem likes it all good, and getting oraised on top of that by the oh so influential ST posters.

I hope Manu's bags made it ok. United Airlines can be pretty bad at times when it comes to finding lost baggage. I wouldn't be surprised if the mix-up happened at the Beijing airport as there have been so many passengers and flights going in-and-out of town these last few days.

:lol:lol That's exactly how I interpreted the look on his face when he saw Pop.

If you were Manu, would you have put your bronze medal in your checked luggage or in your carry-on bag? Just wondering if that puppy is somewhere in the lost luggage. :wow

Loved Manu's reaction when he first saw Pop.:)

I replayed that moment too, watching Manu's face and eyes as he looked up and saw Pop.

I think he was apologizing for a split second, but then realized that Pop had no anger towards him, and Manu was relieved, tired but at peace.

I think Manu has an amazing year after he recovers from the injury.

Last season his concentration was not there being pulled in many directions.

Now he can breath and do what he does best, make us stand up and cheer. Can I get a fist pump!?
