He still can do whatever he wants.
August 1st last I heard

Just because I can be a total to my doctor, ignore his medical advice, and stuff churros down my throat every five minutes until I die of diabetes doesn't mean I should do it.
Good thing Manu isn't doing any of those things, tbh.
He's not questioning the team doctor's credibility and not ignoring his advice to not play? Spurs fans have nothing to worry about then. Why is this thread 15 pages long?
Because fans like to express their opinions. They really don't matter at all, but this is exactly the place where fans do that.
Because you are some selfish otts than don't understand Manu's joy when playing with his NT. And no, he didn't question the Spurs' medical stuff. He made a true normal assessment that some folks want to take as a diss 'cause they are mad Manu wants to play on the summer.
manu has won 3 NBA les since his last gold medal
resorting to name calling when you know you can't logically defend Manu's position
I'll be the civil and logical one here. Manu can do what he pleases but he has an injury that can be tricky to heal. Both Jrue Holiday and Javale McGee had this injury in the regular season. Their doctors said it would probably take 2 months to heal. Turns out, they needed season ending surgeries. Embiid had a stress fracture that required surgery and now he's out for all of next season. This injury is no joke. Manu can play but he's taking a tremendous risk with consequences that would potentially greatly affect the Spurs next season. So everyone has the right to be concerned and try to convince him to not play. How can you be mad at people who want Manu to rest and heal up?
You do know Manu already had this injury, this isn't something unknown or new to him, right?
Says the guy from the country with a $14tn Federal government debt, not to mention private and financial sector debt of more than double that, and whose country has been printing money since GFC II.
Debt smack is bull anyway - the whole world is up to its eyes in debt that will never be repaid, it's only a matter of when the system crashes (followed by a period of anarchy that could lead us into a modern Dark Age) and everything gets reset to 0. It has happened before and will happen again.
Read the backstory on Argentina's debt - yeah, they ed up back in the early 2000s, and should never have pegged their debt to the USD, but the current "default" is a scam.
Shouldn’t we wait until Manu actually confirms that he will be playing for the NT with an injured leg before ing?
Not really, no
Your aussie ass must have me confused with someone who gives a about his country tbh. The US is headed right back to its third world status of the Civil War to early 1930s era.Says the guy from the country with a $14tn Federal government debt, not to mention private and financial sector debt of more than double that, and whose country has been printing money since GFC II.

he is one idiot they must not teach common sense over there
nice stab at the spurs training staff that keeps you healthy
jackass
maybe the spurs should trade him to the bucks
spurs pay him excess of 100 million and he makes a stabb at their training staff and say they are bias and acting after their invest only
what a complete asshole
he cost the spurs another le or home court advantage
I have an honest question for those that are criticizing Manu for wanting to play for his National team: Considering that this is an injury that occurred late in the Playoffs (with reports stating that it actually occurred BEFORE the Finals), would you have criticized him if he had decided to sit out and rest during the Finals - possibly costing the Spurs the Championship? If this is the case, why were those same team doctors okay with Ginobili playing through the pain for the Spurs - but not for his National team?
Again, selfishly I hope that Manu doesn't play this summer and comes into camp rested and ready - but I completely understand why he wants to play. But we cannot be hypocrites and want him to "suck it up" and play through injury when it pertains to the Spurs only to turn around and blast the guy when he (hypothetically) wants to do the same thing for his National team.
Indeed. Given that you live there I thought it might matter to you though.
Come live here instead. We are going to too, but at a slower pace with fewer guns.
Well, you have high wages, but a ing bottle of Coke costs $5 lol. If I was going in your neighborhood I'd go 1200 miles southeast to hang with the Kiwis instead though tbh.Indeed. Given that you live there I thought it might matter to you though.

its even more basic than that. manu has been playing ball since he was 3. hes a professional basketball player that likes to win basketball games. he wants to help his teammates even if hes hurt or if it means getting hurt and that at ude has served him well on all his teams. this is the last stand for the historical golden generation basketball team that manu lead to greatness. of course he wants to be there and play and anybody chastising him for that is an idiot who doesnt understand compe ion. everytime the spurs signed a contract with manu they knew he plays for his national team; pop has spoken recently about NT play by parker and diaw improving them for the spurs, turns out that professionals with more experience are better, its a crazy idea.
as he and the doctor and the argentina staff have said he will re evaluate when camp starts and if the doctors clear him he will play; not all stress fractures are the same thats why doctors have jobs. if you think the specialist manu hired is going to compromise her ethics to clear manu, or that she is inferior to the team doctors? well if the concern is ginobilis health why didnt the team doctors discover the fracture until the end of the season, when manu has said he felt the pain for 2 months, you could see him occasionally limp even pop joked about him missing the season but tests presumably by the team doctors never found anything so he kept playing, for the entire playoffs. surprisingly none of the internet doctors were able to see the danger of injured manu driving into traffic to help tim get 5, but apparently its a guaranteed injury now nevermind what the specialist says.
i can understand disagreeing with the highly unlikely hypothetical of manu playing without clearance from the independent doctor. more likely, he will do what the expert who treated him says. let internet doctors be internet doctors.
of course, the usual suspects that think the spurs are better without him or unimportant are the ones that get most bent out of shape at the prospect of manu missing the first half of the season. shock horror, a professional basketball player injured playing basketball!
I didn't name call anyone, that's just the way I talk. Just calling it how it is, tbh. And how am I not being logical?

Just to be clear I don't give a whether he plays or not I just can't stand all the stupid s saying things like "
Manu, he shouldn't do what he wants he should do what we want.
In Sydney a small bottle of water at a 711 costs 9 kangaroo dollars. that's about 12 gringo dollars
Can you imagine how much an 8 ball costs??? My cartel makes mad money in that kangaroo country tbh
and no bro, in them Kiwi lands its ALMOST as expensive as Kangaroo land and the wages are about 40% less. Them Kiwi s are in more thatn both Kangaroos and Gringos
oh and Manu is an asshole btw
please Manu dont play PLEASE
