    Maybe he's waiting until playing his last NT game before announcing his retirement.

    the reason Ginobili played at such a high level was due to the fact he sat out playing overseas last year after the Spurs fell short in the 2013 NBA Finals to rest his body and now fans are questioning his decision to play this summer.
    Pretty sure game 7 of the finals doesnt cons ute a "rest" because they didnt win

    At least shut up and don't say stuff like that, Manu, if you already decided to play.
    this,
    at least now we know he does not read in ST (or perhaps read)

    Doesn't matter.

    Thumb has a ring.
    Yes

    Greedy

    The news has left some Spurs fans unhappy,
    Of course they never link to ST though

    Manu DOES NOT have 5 rings. Tim is the only one with 5.

    That quote is mallicious and out of context. He doesn´t mean that he is literally in pain.

    The quote in spanish was:
    "Todavía no me siento ex jugador de Selección. No fue fácil tomar la decisión porque, a los casi 37 años, tengo dolores por todos lados."

    Translation
    "I don´t feel like an ex National Team player. It wasn´t an easy descition because, at 37 years old, i have pains everywhere."

    Link: http://www.noticiasnet.com.ar/?se=65...4&Gin%F3bili:-

    He also said in the same article that:
    "I´m not going to be all out during training camp, i just cat take a two month of full training. But i will try to be at my best for the tournament"

    So as said before by other posters it seems tha Manu and Julio Lamas (Argentina NT coach) have agreed for him to have a smaller or lighter role.

    If Manu reads ST, then how can you expect him not to play for his NT, considering this board has been such an ungrateful, disrespectful with him. XDDDD If I were Manu and I were to read all the mother ers hating on me here after giving this team everything I got year after year, the , I would take a on all your ungratefull demands and play for my NT.

    Ok, here we go again, new thread, boring, boring

    Manu is the worst basketball player ever, the worst that has happened to Spurs, oh my god we must throw stones to Manu's face and to his wife Many too, he and his family must be banned from the USA, his house has to be burnt i believe and his 3 sons must suffer some kind of bullying from now on.

    He also must return his rings and in the Spurs history books he and his achievements must be deleted. He will never be remebered. GINOBLI SUCKS

    PERIOD,

    CLOSE THIS BORING THREAD, PLEASE

    The only thing that is left is anyone here to create a poll to see if all this Manu playing for his National Team is him getting back at the Spurs an the NBA for not giving him 2005 Finals MVP

    This is such a non-issue. Pop can essentially keep Manu in bubble wrap until after the all-star break if need be.

    Doesn't it seem as though the "I have pain everywhere" would translate in English idiom to "I hurt all over"? Which is really nothing more than any of us say after an extremely taxing physical workout, which playing 100+ professional basketball games with the last 22 or so at a playoff intensity would qualify as 'taxing' for anyone.

    I understand the concern that folks on here have about Manu since he has had so many injuries, and I think it is a valid concern.

    I think of this as an economic transaction. Each Spurs player has exchanged 82-100+ basketball games of talent and effort in exchange for their salary. We, as fans, have gotten absolutely top effort from Manu for the season and post season. It's not clear to me that we have any right to expect any more from him.

    The contracts for all of these basketball players on every team allows for international play. Therefore, it is something that the players' union negotiated for and got.
    That is the contract.

    Of course, I always like ANY player playing for his national team. I just think it is a mark of good character.

    Feel pretty confident that these statements:

    Ginobili’s decision to play is very controversial for Spurs fans, but he knows the risk. Fans will just have to put their trust in Manu and hope for the best.
    were not actually written by the person who wrote this:

    fans trusted him wanting td to be at to be able to repeat and td opted out to make sure they could only for brainless to try to do this
    That, or ducks has a Miami Heat-like on/off switch.

    Shut up got.

    Now that that's settled, why does Ginobili give two s about Argentina? Him being Argentinian is only technical, the guy is ing Italian just look at him and his last name.
