To me Ricky Rubio was the 2008 Olympics MVP.
In Spurs forum I keep read that Manu is Olympics MVP and in Rockets forum I keep read that Scola is also Olympics MVP.
But why do NBA fans keep saying such things? Olympics does not have individual awards. There is no MVPs in Olympics. Only in FIBA compe ions like EuroBasket, World Championship and such.
So I just wonder why does Spurs and Rockets fans keep say such things as "Olympics MVP"? Also, in Rockets and Spurs fans they keep say that Scola and Manu won world championship and were world MVPs also. But they did not ever win world championship. When they played world championships it was Serbia and Spain that won them and not Argentina. And neither of them were "world MVPs" either.
Do NBA fans not understand what Olympics and World Championships even are? I see Spurs fans call World Championship "qualifying tournament". Is this serious? Everyone should know world championship is much harder tournament than Olympics, probably twice as hard to win than Olympics. Explain please how the biggest and hardest tournament which is also the WORLD tournament is "qualify tournament'....
No serious person about basketball could say Olympics is comparable to world championship. Even EuroBasket is at very least as high level as Olympics and probably actually a higher level. There are 10th-12th best teams at a EuroBasket that can make top 8 of Olympics rather easy.
So can Spurs and Rockets fans for once learn something about actual international basketball and stop looking so foolish when they talk about it please? Olympics are not more important than world championship and they are weaker in level of compe ion. Basketball world is not NBA/Olympics.
Even USA Basketball Federation itself admits world championship is = to Olympics in size and prestige. This is stated on USA Basketball official website even. And as I say the level of compe ion in world championship is much higher than level of compe ion in Olympics. Olympics is 2nd or 3rd best level in international compe ion and world championship is first.
Is there reason why Spurs and Rockets fans cannot understand even most basic things about basketball outside of games that Spurs or Rockets are playing in NBA?
To me Ricky Rubio was the 2008 Olympics MVP.
KBP = trolling MVP
Spurs fans do it because they'll do anything to help their re ed "manu > dirk" argument.
I guess this make sense then.
Strange thing since Wade was playing probably best in Olympics and his team won gold medal.
I got your Olympics MVP right here buddy @ 8.26 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9-MNf2RO5k

Was Wade the Olympics MVP?

I guess someone needs to write the nba.com website and have them delete this from Ginobili's bio... named the MVP of the 2004 Olympics.

Nothing about Wade being the MVP of the 2008 Olympics. So I guess it was indeed Rubio.
"Team USA dominated"was a 4 point game with 2 minutes left and Spain did not even have Calderon. Is really funny how NBA fans talk versus what reality is.
There is no such thing as Olympics MVP. For some reason this urban myth exist but it is not real. There has never been any MVP award for Olympics. This is a fact and no matter what NBA.com says that is a lie.
In Athens Olympics they had media write a story that he was MVP. That is all. There is no Olympics MVP award. Never has there been any MVP for Olympics.
Sure son, sure. I guess someone needs to write the FIBA site and tell them to stop writing bogus articles about Ginobili being MVP of the Olympic tournament....

"Emanuel GINOBILI was the MVP of the Men's compe ion, scoring among others perhaps the most heartbreaking basket of the Tournament, a fall away jumper at the buzzer that gave Argentina the win in their premiere against defending World Champions Serbia Montenegro."
You want to keep failing at this or what?
Are you not able to read? They had media write up he was MVP as a story. There is no actual MVp award. Do you not understand basic logic?
If someone writes a story that you are MVP it does not mean there is an official award. There was no MVP award given just like there never has been in any Olympics.
This is what i am talk about, NBA fans are so clueless about anything in basketball that is not NBA or even more to whatever team they watch.
Who's "They"? The Church of Manu? Did they pay FIBA to make up a story about Ginobili being MVP of the tournament just to put it in an article
Well Louis was MVP of the FIBA America's Tournament in 2007 and 2009. That has to count for something.
There is no Olympic MVP award. It does not exist. You seem to not be able to understand.Who's "They"? The Church of Manu? Did they pay FIBA to make up a story about Ginobili being MVP of the tournament just to put it in an article
He was "MVP" in symbolic way. There is not an actual MVP award to win. Some writers wanted to name him MVP so they wrote that and it seem stupid NBA thought it was an actual award. So now all NBA fans believe this.
Manu is one of my favorite of all time players but truth is truth that there is not MVP awards for Olympics. NBA.com probably is just try to use more stupid marketing gimmicks and that is all.
Yes this is 100% true. But Rockets fans are saying he was "Olympics MVP" and "world championship MVP". These are false. Also Rockets fans are saying he was "Euroleague MVP". This is also false as he was MVP of Spanish league but not all of Europe.
Scola is a great player of course but again Rockets fans is exaggerate on his accolades same as Spurs fans seem are doing with Manu. I do not understand this but I guess it makes sense as was said to make arguments to be better than other international players like Dirk.
What writers man? Was it FIBA writers? Argentine writers? Who fabricated this story of Ginobili being the tournament MVP and for what purpose? Why did FIBA and the IOC have people vote on an Olympic tournament MVP that doesn't exist?
Yes there is.
Manu puts the award on display on a shelf in his living room, right next to his "almost NBA Finals MVP" and "Manu>Dirk" trophies.
Once again the Olympics does NOT have MVP awards. In 2004 Olympics Greek Basketball Federation was in charge. They gave Manu a symbolic MVP and this was written about. As far as i know this is only time in history MVP was mention in Olympics.
In 2004 there was no actual MVP award given. FIBA and Olympics do not give a MVP for Olympics. Why can you not understand this? It is not hard to understand.
Of course Manu was the most valuable player of Olympics and if there was an award he would have won this award. He was MVP of Olympics. The point is there is not really a real MVP award for Olympics. So is kind of stupid to bring this up to argue he is better than some other players.
In Spurs forum they were argue this makes him better than Kukoc for example. I like Manu more than Kukoc but be realistic. Since there is no MVPs for Olympics you should not really say "Manu is Olympics MVP" or "Scola is Olympics MVP".
Is Duncan MVP of Spurs? Maybe? Is there official award to say this?
In Olympics you get medals and that is it.
KBP is right about this hitmanyr2k. There is no mvp in olympic tournaments. That would also be a pretty bit weird because it would undermine the olympic spirit, if such a award was given. Of course, people and media can say a player has been the most valuable etcetera...
But there is no official MVP award at the olympics.
Yeps, every MVP award is symbolic. THe award symbolizes that the recipient was the most valuable player in the tournament. Manu in 2004, Ryan Miller in the recent hockey Olympics tournament and Rubio in 2008.
So KBP is right for a change? What the is going on here...
