Translation: New Manu Article 1/7/14

[Skull-1]

Thanks for the translation.

Manu has been great for a month. The key is that he is staying healthy which allow him to get in better shape and get his rhythm back.

He has also upped his aggression level:
October and November: 14 FTA in 399 minutes played.
December and January: 60 FTA in 388 minutes played.

This is a huge factor. People can't defend him as easily when he is aggressive. They now have to wonder if he will drive. Just hope he doesn't get hurt.

That's what he said last year (at the 18 min mark):

Transcription/translation:
"In 2010, I had a big ankle sprain and then I broke my hand so I missed 25 games. My body fat raised to 10% while in SA point guards had to stay below 8%. I told to myself that I will take a personal cook to be sure I eat well since I'm getting older and I had to be careful. Taking a cook has helped me and I'm now at 6% of body fat. I'm now very careful."

I remember indeed that quote but for me when he is saying I'm now very careful doesn't mean he was careless before. I believe his standard regarding diet due to his mom has always been extremely high and are now even higher with his age.

There is a reason why after 12 nba seasons he had his best year last year. You can see a lot of PGs passing their prime before 30 especially the ones relying on speed, TP hit his, for the moment, best year after 30, it is not by chance.

Thanks for translating. Very truthful words...how can a Spurs fan not root for Manu?

[spurs10]

All this diet talk is inspiring. I'm sure TP and Boris have to really manage their wine consumption.

[silverblackfan]

Good stuff. Thanks for the translation. The diet and the weight training seems to have paid off and he seems to be a believer now. Good news for the team.

still hasn't owned up to game 6 I see. So now he's blaming his diet and eating too much beef?

still hope he can turn his career around with the help of the Ferrari Bellinelli of course

He has been revising his excuses ever since Game Six...hoping we won't notice.
