Re: Malik Rose commenting on Manu's "European" skills
This is like saying Lebron is African and not American. Manu was born in Argentina and he was raised there. That makes him Argentinian with Italian descent just like Lebron is American with African descent...

Doesn’t matter…(let me clarify,…… per Italian citizenship/nationality law) he has Italian blood, so for Italy, he’s first Italian, second Argentine…. They will put it like this; he’s an Italian born in South America…. You can’t deny hi’s probably more Italian than a lot of people being born in Italy to African parents.

"El Latigo" or the whiplash move.
Bodiroga is the best never played in NBA FIBA's player, fantastic :toast
Nice videos could be found @ youtube

Italian and United States laws on citizenship are different……. Get it people, I’m not saying he isn’t Argentine, actually, he’s 100% Argentine because he was born there, but also… for Italy he’s 100% Italian… basically, he didn’t naturalized Italian, he’s Italia from birth. It’s call Dual-Citizenship, both nationalities have the “same” value.

You need to be born in Italy, son/daugther of Italian born, or grandson/daugther of Italian born or married to any previous combination.
I got Italian passport because my mother in law is Italian and my wife also is, so for Italian law I am citizen, also have to vote in their election; my first nationality is ARG since I was born here and also vote here.
so I am an important citizen since I vote i two countries :wow

I learnt it from an NBA US player.
Well before Manu.

Total bullshit.
Italians that emigrated to Canada, South America and Australia, kept strong links to Italy.
Including a passport.
Some 80.000 Argies moved BACK to Italy since the collapse of 2000, thanks to their passport.
Totally different from US italians.

Rasho and Peja can't be Greek citizens despite living there as kids, etc., etc.
Even in this very thread someone claimed that Ginobili isn't even white.........
Most of the members here are rednecks.
For sure Ginobili is not a grecian.
Or he wouldn't be playing in the NBA.

Manu has stated that he learned that move not from Bodiroga but from Predrag Danilovic with whom he played for Kinder Bologna. IIRC Danilovic was the starting SG when Manu arrived, but he abruptly retired shortly after, forcing his coach (Ettore Messina, perhaps the toughest euro coach) to give that spot to a promising but still raw Manu.
