All "BOSS" quotes. Manu was the best.
- I just found out those were fake quotes. GREAT trolling job.

Nobody gives a about that rat.
Lol fkla makes up a quote about Manu throwing teammates under the boss and everyone sucks the Uruguayan's . But when Parker drops Alpha truthbombs about players, pussies here get their feelings hurt.
It pays to hablo español, i guess.
Good stuff. Can't believe I listened to the whole thing. Favorite Spur all time.
FkLA 10/10 troll tbh
Also thanks for the translations. Gotta love Manu.
Incredibly long and a lot of it is stuff that he has already said elsewhere... but it's nice to see him... thanks for sharing.
Listening to it in the background, at min. 37 stands out the presenter asking him about falta de huevos.... honestly. I kid you not. Presenter says in ARgentina, one of the ways to explain defeats is the lack of balls. tbh. Manu said he wasn't in favor of that expression bc sometimes the other team is simply either more talented or has a better game plan and acting out aggressive in a loss isn't necessarily the best thing. Weird line of questioning.
It isn't weird for Argentines. Many dumbasses down here think that if you don't win it is because you lacked balls, it can never be because the other team was simply better. The question was an oportunity that the interviewer gave Manu to make a critic to that Argentine way of thinking.
lol Enrique fanboys mad that the great Emmanuel David Ginobili will always be SA's favorite son
That can be said for most of Latin America, tbh.
Tranquilo buey
There's definitely some players that sometimes play with a lack of "heart"... it shows in them either getting frustrated by minor things, not playing with energy, getting pushed around, not showing effort in 50/50 plays, letting rebounds go past them ... sometimes they are just old and need to retire, like Pau. Sometimes you wonder about something else like Derozan and his weird funks that he gets into. There's also other times that a player just doesn't have it. Sometimes they just have a bad game. Players may appear hesitant to shoot and not have balls but they have a sore foot or something is off.... anywyas, there's defnitely many players that I would question sometimes having some guts (the gutless worms thread, is a great example, many occasions where teams just seem listless and defeated b4 the game is over)... but as to Manu... I don't know why anyone would ask him that. He wasn't a guy who ever show lack of balls. He did have bad games at times and there's times he's been off. I remember two seasons ago his playoffs where he was shooting 0% for 5 straight games. I never thought he lacked balls then. He was just an older player that you couldn't be relying on to be the scoring machine to carry you. He still made effort plays, still went after 50/50 balls, still appeared that he was competing.
Anyways, I didn't understand why he would be asked that. As you said, it perhaps was an opportunity for Manu to offer his opinion about the fans way of thinking/culture about the sport.
It's guey, tbh. Gotta say, though that the first translation here was hilarious, especially with many falling for it. Great interview, Manu is The King! Kawhi es un boludo.
Seems to me that Manu was always more accessible to reporters and really opened up to give a real perspective on himself, PoP, teammates and basketball in general. He wasn't trying to promote himself, just being the most accessible ball player of any sport I've ever seen. Just telling us what he really thinks without hiding behind the same old stuff that most ballplayers use to shield themselves.
