A couple of years ago, my wife and I spent a couple of weeks in Argentina - Iguazú, Bariloche, Buenos Aires (3 days). We enjoyed our trip and were not ever concerned for personal safety. Money changers were everywhere in BA, as the economy was a big concern - as it perpetually seems to be...
I said safe not in a sense of fisical security, or robery..... that its as any place...but mental safe.... its a rollercoaster. today we have a devaluation of our money of 10%. but last week we found that the former president stole 36.000 millons of dollars..(yes , that amount)... and so..every week a new issue. .manu have a lot of money in their pocket, he remain in the states....
that is what i want him to do. come back in january/february. sean elliott considered returning for a 2003 playoff run iirc.
what stops manu from returning depends on what the spurs did with manu's contract. if the spurs treated his contract like duncan's then i don't think he can return to the spurs this upcoming season.

Damn, you s had quite the offseason. Manu was always fun to watch. Respect #20
Great find. I love how Manu would pass the ball not to the man but where the man needs to be. There were at least three ridiculous bounce passes in that video alone.
Some people like to say that Manu would have had gaudy Harden-like numbers if he was the #1 option on a worse team, but I don't know if Manu would be able to put up with less talented teammates that wouldn't be where they needed to be to receive his passes. Having really talented teammates like Tim and Tony and great finishing bigs like Splitter and Blair brought out the best in Manu.
He would have made an amazing NFL QB, except that he might have gotten broken in half in his first season as a starter.
Being where you need to be has to do with IQ, not talent. And not even that high of an IQ, after a couple trainings alongside Manu you understand where you need to be as a roller. That's why limited players like Blair, Splitter, Oberto, Mohamed, Bonner, etc. understood Manu to perfection. Actually, Manu does the thinking for you.
Being where you need to be: IQ. What you do when you get there: talent. Someone with hands of stone but good BBIQ is still going to fumble passes, even from Manu.
Splitter was a great PnR finisher, hardly "limited" and not deserving to be lumped in with guys like Mohammed and Bonner in that regard. Blair was a pretty good finisher too, it's just that his defense was poor and his rebounding didn't make up for it so he was usually a net negative.
I had been reading that and couldn't find any reliable source for the formula. Thou I can tell you a couple of mistakes in that article.
First off it's a theory, secondly it has a perennial error that is commonly in non serious articles. It takes off by speculating a wide amount of networks used to "steal money" yet on their own calculations they don't stimate the time it takes to. A find the correct people to develop such a complex network. B the times it takes to start the network. C it considers a lineal amount of cash flow Wich is incorrect because you have to at least spare in two phases ( start and full speed).
Those are the basics. I am surprised by the low quality of that article and many more I read to conclude this. And also by the fact that the Argentinean journalism's is based mostly on opinions and very little on cold facts.
kirchnerismo stole a lot more, that number is only the public construction. Energy, imports, djai, health. Education, provinces, are not included there
The word “Left” should be changed to “Ginóbili” on all San Antonio highway signs. Get it done RC!
Two of my favorite games of Manu's career
The NBA doesn't do these old players and their legacies any favors by putting copyright violations on any videos not in 240P.
His arc did change!!
Well at least his shooting motion, did for sure.. That was good defense imo and is contest was not as late and much better than Tony's...
I think the arc was exactly what Fisher wanted it to be. At that moment I much prefer Ginobili contesting high with one hand to make Fisher question his shot while was still in motion. Fisher took a risky higher arc but once he decided to so it he knew Ginobili was not going to get to it. Same with Parker on Ray Allen.
Parker got their a second late and wanted to body him a bit before Ray took the shot. Both with split second decisions that I don't blame them for but hindsight is 20/20.
Saw it in person. One of my best memories as a fan.
I really wanted Manu to play for another year. It would have been great to have him around for one more year to bridge the gap to the next generation. But I obviously respect his decision. I'll miss watching him play the game of basketball.
Outstanding career. Unforgettable highlights. Genuine person. It was fun. Really damn fun.
Thanks for everything, Manu.
Yes I'm really grateful having Manu on our team for all these remarkable seasons. The highest winning % in the NBA for any player that played over 1000 games.I really wanted Manu to play for another year.

Muchisimas gracias Manu! Might need to buy a ticket to Springfield, Mass.
Man(u) Oh man(u), where do I start...first I want to congratulate you on a of a career. From the time I watched you from home while I was in high school to becoming your teammate, you’ve always been one of my favorite players. It was always an aspiration to be half as good as you. I've learned so much from you over these last 8 seasons that made me a better player and person...still trying to get that eurostep in my game, but my hips won’t let me lol! I always hated the fact that you came off the bench and that you subbed in for me because I had the most fun when I shared the court with you. Your approach & passion for every game, practice and everything that you did has inspired so many, including myself. You are the ultimate warrior and a true champion! I’ve been extremely blessed to share a locker room with you and to be able to call you my friend and brother. It sucks to see you go, but a complete honor to have played with you for your last game. I wish you well in your next chapter and tell my favorite guys in the Spurs arena (your sons) i will miss them on the sidelines cheering for us, especially Luca lol. Much Love Gramps and hope to see you on the sidelines again sometime soon! @manuginobili 🙏🏾💯
Green better come back next season.
I love Manu but it's good that he's going now after one of a season and allowing the young guns to develop. Classy move tbh.
saw the tribute from danny green. i guess i shouldn't hold my breath waiting on one from leonard.
