I think TP is not popular at Buttes Chaumont
Ahhhh Ayrton Senna... Brazilians are still so emotional about Senna, it's quite incredible. He is with absolutely no contest the most popular figure in Brazil. I had to solve some business issues with Ayrton's family, dear god it was like walking on eggs. Don't ever mess in Brazil with Senna legend.Quote:

I believe Prost image is still mixed in France... he is not very French like... calculator, absolutely not spectacular, no panache and he is a winner.
edit: lots of still
TP is really popular, he's not only a basketball player but also a singer..

Hopefully the Spurs will deliver the whole package again next year!
In your opinion, Senna is more popular than Pelé, Socrates, Zico or Ronaldo?Quote:

Yeah. Pele is the most known, Senna is the most loved. In Brazil, people says 'Pele with his mouth shut is a poet".Quote:

Nobody is more popular in France than the Chirac muppet from Les Guignols
