Why did you even started this thread if every good pro-Manu reason you're going to refute it with "he plays next to Tim Duncan"?
People I want you to know that Ben Gordon is better than Manu 'cause he's never played next to Tim Duncan.
How do the Spurs do in those games when Duncan is injured and he's healthy?

This man sounds delicious!! Maybe my man won't mind sharing!
Because the "Manu is a bigger winner than Joe Johnson" wouldn't be made if not for Duncan.
How many Gold Medals does Joe Johnson have?
Now you're putting words in my mouth. I never said JJ's better because he doesn't play next to Duncan, I said the championships Manu won with Duncan as the first option are irrelevant to this argument.
How many does Duncan have?
Yes...
I fail to see what's funny
Irrelevant because of the above quote
Phoenix may have also beat SA if JJ was healthy for that entire series........but chances are neither one is true since offense wasn't the Suns problem in that series, Manu instead of JJ doesn't change the fact Horry and Brent Barry are left open during key possessions and especially don't change the fact Duncan still has a huge series.
They win more than they lose, in fact I think there's a stat out there that shows that the Spurs have a worst winning % when Manu is out than when either Tim or Tony are injured.
And DUNCAN, it's not kosher for you to kibitz in your own Poll.
What's funny is using non-NBA basketball during an NBA argument.
Is Manu a better Euroleague player than JJ? Yes, I admit it. are all the Manu fans happy? Can we now stick to the NBA since we're in the NBA forum?
Manu wouldn't have been the fourth option on that Suns team. Go ask D'antoni who he thinks is better: Johnson or Manu?
First off, Tony is irrelevant. I agree Manu > Parker.
And there's no point in arguing with anyone that seriously thinks Manu could win an NBA championship as a main player.
Oh my bad. See I read the le of the thread "Better Player" and thought you meant who had more talent and was a better basketball player. My mistake. Continue.
Yes, he would have still been the fourth option behind Nash, Amare and Marion in D'antoni's offense. D'antoni would have taken the ball out of his hands and killed his game. He would have done the same to JJ if JJ stayed with the team.
Since we're in the "NBA forum", I figured that NBA was implied when i said better player. If I posted this in a Euroleague forum then it'd be a different story.
Sorry for laughing, but believing a player's international credentials don't matter because some of the rules of international play are different is pretty silly. Especially when the player doesn't play the position that is most affected by those different rules.
Who said that?
I believe they don't matter cause international compe ion isn't half as good as NBA compe ion.
It seemed like you were hinting at it and have hinted at it several times.
Is that why Joe Johnson has only been on one US team and that team got a bronze?
