    Where's the Don't Care option? Manu is the greatest Argentinian athlete to play for the Spurs.

    I do believe Manu has more career points as well.

    and of course, the armenian one is spelled incorrectly... with the letters they use in this graphic, it would actually be pronounced "foossball"...

    it should be ֆուտպոլ and not ֆուսպոլ

    The thing is that Maradona and Messi are the GOAT in the most popular sport in the world. Manu is not the GOAT in basketball, worldwide.
    When your country have the 2 GOATs of the most popular sport on earth, it's hard to compete..

    But i can really say that Argentina's basketball team is the best "national team" in the history of the country.

    C'mon, are you serious? I love Manu, but it's Messi and it's not even close.
    Just google Messi: 74.800.000 , Manu: 1.740.000.

    Ok, Manu beat the USA team with the National team and won the gold medal being the star of Argentina, but that's arguable his highest accomplishment. He's never been the best player in his team in the nba, except maybe from 2008-2010. Messi is the best player in the world since 2008.

    He has scored 354 goals in 425 games for Barça. In 2011/12 he scored 50 goals and added 16 assists in 37 games in Liga and 14 goals and 5 assists in 11 Champions League games. That's ing insane. It's like averaging 50 points and 10 assists per game.

    He has 3 golden boots (most in history), and 4 straight Ballon D'or (most in history also).

    Don't be homers. I know some of you don't like or understand soccer, but Messi is a legend. Oh, and he also has an olympic medal.
    Um, you're confusing popularity with athletic ability. Globally, soccer is far more popular, so the Google hits will, of course, be significantly greater. Secondly, Manu beat Americans at a traditionally American sport. Messi beats other teams in a sport that Argentina has been traditionally good at. I could care less about Messi, but Manu is a down-right stud in his own right. Will probably be underrated his entire career. It's still laughable listening to national media talking heads bring up the debate about whether he should be in the hall of fame...it's not a debate...the fact they try to even discuss it is a slap in the face.

    Even you're a Brazilian homer, or you don't know nothing about football.

    Maradona and Di Stefano were still better then Messi, but Messi is young and will probably overtake them as the best soccer player from Argentina.
    At this point Messi could make a best top 10 player ever list, while Manu could maybe make a best top 100 list.

    or you do not know anything about football, you know? works both ways, the difference is that I have facts to base my choice, meanwhile keep believing that messi ever was a better player than Pele, it makes you feel better

    It doesn't matter whether Pele, Maradona, Di Stefano or Cruyff are better than Messi or not. He still has a cushion of dozens of players ahead of Ginobili, who nobody will consider a top-50 player of all time, probably not even top-100. I wouldn't, and he's my favourite player from the past decade.

    Besides, football is much more popular world-wide, there's many more people playing it than basketball, so the compe ion to stand out is a lot tougher. It's not difficult to do the math.

    It's ridiculous we're having this discussion, to be honest. It's only good for a few laughs.

    If compe ion is a lot tougher then how the are the same countries winning the world cup since 1930?
    I don´t care about Pele or if you think Manu is not even top- 30000000000, the subject is the better Argentinian athlete and no one is considering Messi´s age here.

    .
    yes, that´s why what Manu did in 2004 is more impressive than anything Messi did so far. although, things could change in a couple of weeks.

    if you do the math you will find out that USA creates better athletes than the rest of the world and the fact that the preferred sports are Football and Basketball and not Soccer it's hard to take the claim that he is playing tougher compe ion than Manu seriously, tbh.

    Soccer is not a sport. It's simply running while kicking a ball. I mean, the best soccer player in the world is 5'7 and the greatest of all time was 5'5. Athlete is being generous.
