Article: Ginobili heard all summer how he should have been finals MVP

:lmao Well then I guess you're not a Johnny Ludden fan.

:lmao Nah, Guess not.

As far as the argument w/ ducks. I have to disagree with ducks. Manu gave the spurs the first legitimate 2nd scorer since drob. Even better manu gives the spurs a consistent 2 who can do everything including the ability to shoot a high % from 3 and the ability to slash.

How many guys can shoot from outside, not need the ball everytime, play defense, slash to the hoop, and pass like manu?

If the pistons wouldn't have made it to the finals I think you could replace manu with say a stephen jackson. But since det did make the finals with the matchups you needed a very good 2 or 3 to play in order to beat det. Guys like pierce, kobe, tmac, allen, would have been needed to beat det.

Could the spurs have went to the finals w/ a lesser player in manu's position? Yes imo.

Could the same be said for winning the finals? No imo.

You still don't get the point. The problem with "that" thread was you saying Manu is not white (or does not belong on a "all-white" basketball team).

If the definition of Latino (which I'm still not clear on) means "coming from a Latin Country", then Manu is obviously Latino.

But you, Danyo, have denied that Manu (and probably Oberto too) are white. That says it all. And on top of it, you continue making sarcastic remaks about the Argentines. :lol

This all sounds like an SAT question...
Manu is to Hispanic as the Pope is to________________

We are still arguing about ethnicity?! C-mon... What ´s the matter... If somebody play good don´t care if he is black, chinese, jew, palestinian, serbian, croatian or whatever...

What is the matter about fighting if somebody is from a specific ethnia?

WE ARE IN XX1st Century....!!!

Judging from what I saw in the playoffs I don't agree with that. Without Ginobili stepping up the Spurs could have gone down in the first round if they had given Denver hope by losing Game 3 or 4. Is a lesser guard going to put the pressure on defenses and repeatedly penetrate while taking a pounding? Could Popovich put Stephen Jackson at the top of the key and ask him to handle the ball in the final minutes of a pressure-filled game and create something for himself or his teammates? We all know Stephen Jackson couldn't take 3 dribbles without it being a turnover lol. Just sitting here thinking about all those close games the Spurs went through with the Suns I can't believe anyone would say we could have made the Finals with a lesser player at the guard position lol. It just doesn't make sense.

Manu isn't white, he isn't hispanic, he's a Spur! Get over it. Move on.
