Who is greater, Manu or Maradona?

[oski1000]

Maradona=Michael Jordan=R.Federer=Tiger Woods

Manu plays in a high level and a natural winner with a tough mind.

[Chachachango]

Why does maradona have two watches on? In case he forgets which arm he put it on?

I think Maradona is greater and I would guess Manu follows. I know them Argentinians take their soccer seriously. I think Manu would say Maradona.

[Muser]

Manu isn't a cheating got

Oh and at using his coaching, he was a ing terrible coach.

[MB20]

As great as Manu is, Maradona wins by a landslide.

Manu shares 2nd greatest with Vilas, De Vicenzo, Monzon.

[sefant77]

Maradona could shot a kid and everyone in argentina would say "why the damn kid jumped in front of the gun? Now Diego is traumatized. Stupid kid".

Maradona >>>> Ginobili

[Frankie23]

Why does maradona have two watches on? In case he forgets which arm he put it on?

Cause he travels a lot and wants to have, in one watch his local time, and in the other, his daughters time.

Stupid thread, we love them both. They both put Argentina at the very best level in the world..

[Slydragon]

for soccor = Manu
for Bball = Maradona

[ohmwrecker]

Maradona is god in Argentina.

It's too bad the rest of the world doesn't give a .

[BRs.Ganso]

Pele and Oscar by far!

[Russ]

As they used to say on Saturday Night Live, "Quien es mas macho? Fernando Lamas o Ricardo Montalban?"

The easier question between Manu and Maradona would be, who is taller?

One with Argentina's time and the other with local time.

[duncanCOSTARICA]

Ginobily is a real sportsman

maradona ? Coke head

[cheguevara]

[John_spurs]

One with Argentina's time and the other with local time.

Not really, actually, one is with the timezone of one of his daughters (Dalma) and the other watch is with the other daughter (Gianina)


And for those criticising Maradona for being an addict, i want to see how you would handle yourselves if you lived what he lived (being a third world poor kid, and suddenly, 5 years later, you're the king of the world, with EVERY SINGLE kid wanting to be like you). If you don't know his story, don't waste your words talking about him, he's just as human as everybody else.

P.D: Yes, i'm from Argentina

What would Maradona say?

[Thompson]

Even if you say Manu is an 8 out of 10 in basketball, and Maradona was a 10 out of 10 in soccer, soccer is only half a sport, so Manu's 8 > Maradona's 5.

[Hooks]

soccer.

[pad300]

Manu is an amazing shooting guard with a great résumé but he's barely among the 50 greatest BB players of all time

On the other hand, Maradona is.... el pibe del oro: the best man to ever play soccer (shortly followed by Cruyff, Pelé and Zidane)

I have the same ranking...

That's unfortunate - two people sharing the same delusion.
Pelé >= Cruyff > Maradona> Zidane

[DPG21920]

Zidane>Diego.

[rascal]

Soccer > Basketball on the world stage

Soccer > Basketball on the world stage

I'm well aware of that; the world's nuts though. Soccer is fun to play, but it's boring as to watch. You just watch the ball slowly go back-and-forth because they play on such a massive field, and they have ridiculous rules like 'off sides' to make the pace even slower.

I think of it as 'half a sport' because most players can only use half their bodies; the most skilled, articulable parts of a person's body are their arms/hands, and they can't use them. Basketball is a better demonstration of the human being's capabilities.

I sometimes hear the argument 'soccer players are some of the best-conditioned athletes in the world' as if that somehow makes the sport interesting (they run an average of over 5 miles per game). If that were all that is required to make a game interesting, go watch someone run around a track until they hit 10 miles, it will be twice the excitement.

In soccer you can use your whole body except hands, is easy to understand, you can play everywhere without any equipment and it level the size of the player so you can be short like Messi or Maradona, skinny, fat or tall and still you can be the best of the world.

[lefty]

Unlike Diego, Manu can coach.


Neal with it

[kuato]

Even if you say Manu is an 8 out of 10 in basketball, and Maradona was a 10 out of 10 in soccer, soccer is only half a sport, so Manu's 8 > Maradona's 5.

What ? please explain your epiphany to us.

[DJ Mbenga]

this is a stupid question
