    Let me rephrase... Dirk entered the league early because he was a talented jumpshooting seven footer.

    Saying that Manu was unqualified to enter the league in that timeframe had less to do with Ginobili's actual talent level than with the fact that he was perceived as an unproven quan y... He had to win to show them otherwise.

    Your statements are ignorant, ridiculous, and absurd. It is really beyond laughable what you are saying here. 75-80 percent od world's best players???????

    I forgot who I'm talking to. Indazone's Euro-hyping troll.

    In Euroleague website when they select 50 anniversary team it was stated clearly that he was the second player to do that.
    Bill Bradley won the Euroleague's predecessor, the European Champions Cup, in 1965-66. There was no Euroleague back then. So the previous statement is factually correct.

    This is it.

    Bill Bradley =

    Olympic gold medal
    Euroleague championship
    2 NBA championships

    So Manu is not the only one to that and not the first. However he has one more NBA championship than Bradley.
    The Euroleague did not exist in 1965-66.

    Manu > defender, passer, and ball handler
    No ski > scorer and rebounder

    Manu played fewer minutes on better NBA teams so his PPG average really doesn't capture his more diverse offensive capabilities of driving, drawing fouls, and versatility.

    Manu is just a warrior and a winner. While his stats are solid, they don't fully capture what he brings to the team. I think Dirk is a great guy but soft in my book and I'd not rather have had him on the Spurs by any stretch.

    It was founded in 1957, IIRC.

    That wasn't my point... I was throwing back his dismissiveness of an entire franshise [Clippers] by using his exact same words... all the while he sideskirted the implication of his initial comment as I questioned whether or not Olowokandi's draft position was justified...

    the draft rank doesn't mean crap when it comes to the capabilities of a player, even from the rear parts of first round and second round can jump out some decent draftees sometimes like Manu and TL, as well as Gilbert Arenas, Michael Redd, Josh Howard, etc... So it's also reasonable that some draftees with high picks are not granted to live up to expectations, sometimes even No.1 draftees may turn out to be craps, Kwame Brown and Yao for examples.

    Exactly, Euroleague existed starting in 1957 dumb ass, though I have no idea where the 1957 dumbass is located. I'm just pretty sure KBP never makes any mistake, at least he thinks so.

    Answer the question. Yes or No?
    Are you re ed?

    Go here:

    http://www.euroleague.net/history/50-years/main

    click where it says EUROLEAGUE HISTORY THROUGH THE DECADES
    LIST OF CHAMPS
    · Champions: 1958 to 2008


    that will bring you here

    http://www.euroleague.net/news/i/11836/180/item

    notice where it says European club champions: 1958-2008


    Stop embarrasing yourself.




    I do not know where some Spurs fans are getting this info that Manu was the only player to win NBA, Euroleague, and Olympics but it is certainly wrong information.

    As much as I hate to be on the same side as KBP in an argument, if you're arguing that Bradley's achievement was different because the league was named differently then, you'd be wrong.

    The Minneapolis Lakers won their les in the BAA, yet are recognized as former champions by the NBA, which was formed after the BAA and NBL merged. That being the case, given that the league Bradley won his championship in is the same league existing now under a different name, he should indeed be recognized as a former Euroleague champion.

    That's true, but the achievement could be different. Did Bradley won the Erouleague's MVP, Olympics' MVP and came one vote short of beign NBA finals MVP?

    I really don't know. Did he won the MVP of any of those tournaments?
