How do you see yourself for this season?
Very "sexy", strong and with more hair than ever! ;-)
Part three:
Saludos.Answer me please! What does God mean in your life?
I'm not a believer.
That's all I wanted to know!
That was easy! In that way I could answer 200.000 questions.
What do you think is the level of the NCAA league in the United States compared with that of the European leagues (ACB, etc...)?
I have no idea! I watch only a few games and the play is very different from that of the NBA and very different with that of Europe. They are players with very little experience, pretty naive, but with enormous athleticism and intensity. What they gain in one area they lose in another. I would think is a little lower than the ACB, but I'm not sure of what I'm saying.
Prior to getting to the league, what aspect did you work the most on, shooting, jumping, body building?
Training and shooting. The first one didn't give results, the second one did, a little.
Do you have a tennis racket? Which one?
Uhh! I have two rackets, one that I bought and another one that Coria gave me like 1.000 years ago. If I'm not mistaken the one I bought is a Prince, but I didn't even pay attention. Sepo went and picked the first two he could find.
Your favorite stroke and the one that's the hardest for you to do?
The drive is the easiest for me and the backhand without slice is the hardest. But I totally suck. I haven't played more than 10 games in my life. I like it, but sadly I can't play it.
Playing style? Do you play on the baseline or do you go to the net to attack? If you don't use to go to the net I would recommend that yo do it, with your 6-6 no one would be able to get past you! Do you buy tennis clothing to play or do you use any T-shirts and shorts?
I don't have a style yet! Je je. I wasn't able to identify it! And no! I definetly don't buy tennis clothing for playing. The times I did it, it was with a basketball player look, but with sneakers.
Many times you said you weren't interested in video games, but anyway I wonder if you feel something seeing that they make you particularly detailed and you are a star in the games. I think that shows what you mean to the league. In the previous NBA Live Steve Kerr did the color commentary and at some point he would say "Manu used to school me in practice" jaja.
I think that even Pop schooled him in practice! Jeje. He wasn't precisely the best defender in the league! (Just kidding, Steve is GREAT). Yes, I think that shows respect and prefer to "be made good" than bad, that's it.
Tony appeared on the game cover in Europe, did that make him y or he doesn't give it much importance?
He made the US cover this year! Europe was last year I think. No, he doesn't get too y, he doesn't say anything. We are all used to see him everywhere!
Pop seems to be difficult as a coach, but a great person at the same time. Do you get along with him outside of the Spurs organization?
Yes, I have a very good relationship with him and his family. He is a GREAT guy (yes, with capital letters).
Why do injured players travel with the team during tours or road games? Is it for mental(?) reasons or to work on the recovery given that the trainers travel with the team? Maybe some other reason?
It depends on the injury, but if it's not serious you travel to continue working with the trainers. Many times you don't have games but you have practices so you have to be with the team.
Why do you think the CABB (Arg. basketball association) didn't put out an official DVD like the UAR (Arg. rugby union) and AFA (Arg. soccer association) did, taking advantage of the achievements of their national teams?
I don't have the slightest idea. I didn't know that UAR nor AFA had put out theirs. Go to CABB.com.ar and ask them...
Fabri said in an interview that the relationship he has with you is like that of boyfriends(?). In which stage do you think that relationship is?
The 7 year itch... The honeymoon is over.
Hope you are healing just fine and getting ready to mentally play what you do best. Like I've mentioned before I've been a Rocket fan most of my life and most recently I became a Manu Ginobili fan (dummy me I waited too long) and honestly I hope you can forgive me for not being a Spur fan.
Okay, here is my question....Is there any chance on earth I could possibly get a picture of you & Scola at a Spurs & Rockets game? I know I might be asking for too much, but well, you never know. If your answer is yes, I will wear a shirt with both Rockets and Spurs on it. You won't miss me. Please,please say "yes".
I'll do my best to make it happen and remember. But is not that easy since the locker rooms are on opposite ends of the courts
I'm not sure how to ask this, I would like to test your memory about a certain point of your career that many single out as a turning point. Your father, your brother Leandro and even Pepe talk a lot about an U22 game at the court of 9 de Julio in which you were fenomenal. They point out a dunk. What do you remember (if you do)?
Yes, I remember! I have a close friend that reminds me of it often, because he played for 9 de Julio and defended me in that game, so he is always telling me that I got where I did because of him! The hoops at 9 de Julio were famous because they were the lowest in all of Bahía, that also has to said, eh!
As my birthday approaches (10/20) I went ahead and gave me an auto-gift. I bought two T-shirts from your clothing line. Did you design them? Or was it people at Nike that did it?
I have talks with them and I told them about my tastes, the colors I wanted, what I wear and that kind of things. The were bringing me ideas and I discarded or approved or asked for some change to be made. Teamwork they call it. My favorites are the T-shirts with the silhouettes and the hoodie which I think is great, but I like them all, seriously.

he got paid for the euroleague final in 02 as well.He still got paid for those.
i think it has more to do with those being single elimination tournaments, whereas in a 7 game series one game is a smaller part of elimination.
it's pretty funny how casual manu is about these questions. i dont know of any other athlete that run their website like he does, and for all the hate he gets from other fans (like that stupid slam ranking thats on the front page right now) its a miracle he hasnt had hacking/troll problems. He's so lowkey its as if they dont even notice
oh, thanks and nice job on the translation... i'm too tired to check it all but what i read is on point.
+1
best post in this thread.
So Manu doesn't give a about the heart breaking playoff losses with the Spurs? I find it odd he lists some junior stuff and other mediocre games. Especially considering 2 of them were his fault.
It sounds like he got the bald spot fixed with the more hair than ever comment.

The more hair comment was a joke...
Brutalis, the chick in your sig...I don't like her hair or face, but the rest of her is smokin.
hmm it's a little interesting that Manu said that for now things are good but might change.How do you feel is your relationship with the Spurs, both front office and coach, after your participation in the Games? It seemed like a national affair at times.
Presently is very good. I've been talking a lot with Pop and it's all decided. There is no problem. We will see how the situation changes or not in the future.
Thank you for the translation!
which is precisely correct.
What question was he responding too?
He doesn't believe in God? Really? was he serious? ... thought i saw him doing the sign of the cross when he put up 46 against the cavs... it wasn't that obvious but he kind of did it while going to the bench.. or was that that..
I'm very happy to hear that Manu is an agnostic/athiest - makes me love him even more, especially coming from a heavily Catholicism-indoctrinated country.
However, I'm not trying to enter a discussion about this (as per Kori's instruction), just making a comment.
He does not beleive in God??
that er hates Maradona!
wow, looks like team "Satan's Children" is gonna get one of a wing player!
It's funny, but I knew that comment was coming.
Anyway, the God part of the conversation is going on in the Political forum if anyone wants to chime in there.
Do you still use the notebook with the big stain on the screen?
No, she's not being used, the poor thing! The stain spread to 40% of the screen, which makes it unusable unless you use an external monitor. It's a shame. I get attached to my computers.

There you go, Bo. Maybe you and Timmy Duncan can split the counseling sessions with MG.Didn't Pop told you that he would rather have you resting for the rest of the season and coming back for the playoffs?
That would be very funny, if he told me that! What am I suppossed to do during the other six months? Now in that case I would need a whole lot of psychologists! No no, don't even say it twice lest he hears it and likes the idea!
Aww. Cute. Good question, Carina.Are you going to make HEB commercials with the Spurs again? Who will replace Brent?
I'll be in the HEB commercials and there's no subs ute for Brent. Tim, Bruce and me. We'll miss him. “Mango trees don't do that, Manu”! ;-)
I bet Manu would approve my signature.
.04 was NOT his fault.
O6 fouling Nowitzki was though....
He put is in a position to win that game to begin with... I mean, I didn't hear the ing when he had the balls to take that 3 pointer that got us the lead at the end of the game. To me, 2006 had a lot to do with Timmy having planar fasciitis and Avery knowing our playbook from A to Z.O6 fouling Nowitzki was though....
He did screw up fouling Nowitzki, and he couldn't score the last bucket in regulation, but you're going to blame him for the entire 7 games series?

It's 0.4..04 was NOT his fault.
