    There are many other words that we transform like that. I think it comes from using el "voseo" instead of el "tuteo" but I'm not sure, I may be talking out of my ass.
    Correct-a-mundo. It actually is a bas ization of "decidme"

    I hope he complies without a fight tbh. I know he wants a last tourney as farewell but if it's not fully healed he should just go to a beach with the family and relax. Even though NT Gino is one of my favorite versions I do want the Spurs to go all in to try to repeat.

    IIRC, the only thing he can do is appeal to the Spurs to reverse course... not even sure the NBPA can do anything about it.

    FIBA won't let him play as long as the franchise says he's injured.

    No, if Manu retires from the Spurs, can play the WC.

    Manu is part of the Spurs inner family. I sincerely doubt there is any chance that this wasn't extensively discussed between both parties.

    Many people aren't giving much credence to the idea that this is actually a mutual decision by Manu and the Spurs, because it allows Manu to show his desire to play and lets the Spurs be the scapegoat, instead of Manu feeling the backlash of letting down his country.

    Does the injury play a factor? Yes. Could Manu probably play through it? Yes.

    But at this point, Manu knows the risks of further injury and fatigue as well as anybody in the league. He's broken a bone playing FIBA basketball, and spent many a season injury-riddled following national play. I'm sure Manu doesn't want to let down his country...but I'm sure he also appreciates the Spurs decision regarding his overall health and NBA career. And I have no doubt he bleeds silver and black, so I'm sure he understands that aspect as well.

    Spurs offering cover to Manu (I hope).
    Honestly, this is probably what it is. He doesn't want to play for them anymore but doesn't want to come off as the bad guy in his 3rd world country.

    To all the ones who are thinking this is CIA Pop covering up Manuīs ass, I say: after all these years, you donīt know Manu at all if you think he is not brave enough to speak out loud about what he thinks and what he wants or doesnīt want to do with his life.

    Manu did an interview some days ago, he said that he wanted to play for the NT not for patriotism or for the people demanding him to do so, but because he love the game and wanted to help his friends to get as far as possible, itīs funny how people can spin that sentiment into some kind of betrayal on the Spurs.

    In my book Manu have nothing to prove to argentinian fans, but he is a grown man, he just did an amazing job to help the Spurs to get another championship, and he wants to play with his brothers, you can be pretty sure he is not happy with the spurs decision, and has nothing to do with him dissaponting fans in Argentina.

    Manu bleeds blue and white first...he's played through games with the NT where the could have just said no.

    he wanted to play..There is no conspiracy. Spurs don't want him to play to his and manu's benefit...

    Manu's desire to play for NT with an injury is very similar to how he wants to go crazy on a drive to the basket without any jump or athleticism left in his body..That's always been his personality..That's Manu..

    SMH at all these conspiracies..

    Manu doesnīt owe a nickel to anyone, nor to Argentina, nor to SA.

    He is trying to say goodbye to all the things he cared the most during his basketball career. If he wanted to play for Argentina, I am just sad he canīt make it, Period.

    So many ugly fans around here...

    No he doesn't.

    He only does if the contract says so..I don't think there's anything written on his contract about his desire to play for his NT..The spurs signed knowing full well manu loves to play for his NT...The spurs bought his services. It was never a loyalty contract or whatever...

    Just because a letter was sent doesn't mean a phone call wasn't also made.
