I saw it before it was edited. That's pretty funny.
Dude, Manny is the king of arguments. Just visit the political forum...

No! The real allstars in Duncan and Parker will be there!Manu Ginobili Will Be An All-star Next Year
Agreed, he got my vote for Political Poster of the Year, although I don't agree with most of his opinions.Dude, Manny is the king of arguments. Just visit the political forum...
But in this blog I thought he lost. His two premises just don't follow his conclusion.
Now he is saying something about the PHO game on national TV. That is a different story . . .
Hey, maybe Manu is not an All-Star. We should let the NBA coaches decide. Oh wait.Hey, maybe my arguments do suck. We should let the battle blog judges decide. Oh wait.
All of a sudden you are ridding Parkers nuts like nobodies business.
You are something else, little Napoleon.
That would be fun, actually. I may give it a shot here in a few weeks when my schedule gets a little easier. Thanks for the invite.
As for Manu, he was on his way to being an All-Star way before the Phoenix game. He's one Spur that gets a lot of positive props in the media. Charles Barkley didn't start screaming "Giiinnnoobbbiiilllliii!!!" suddenly after the Phoenix game. When you're the most flamboyant player on the best team in the league people are going to notice you, and vote for you if they perceive that you're a key ingredient to that team's success.
I think Manu is one of those guys that actually gets some respect for the little things he does to make a team better beyond the scoring. His overall passion for the game each and every night combined with his unorthodox style is what gets him noticed, not a one-night scoring burst in Phoenix.
For the record, I agree with the judges' decision. It was a close call, but the side that was written better and backed up the argument better won.
Hopefully this controversy gets some of the Manu Defenders to start Battle Blogging. Should be interesting.
I didn't realize they voted for next years team already.Hey, maybe Manu is not an All-Star. We should let the NBA coaches decide. Oh wait.
I agree with much of that, with the exception that I don't think that respect is going to earn Manu a bid to an All Star game in the next few years when his minutes start coming down.
Manu's stats also benefited from TP coming in at the begining of the season and not asserting himself at all. The moment Parker began to do that, Manu's PPG came down pretty quickly.
I look forward to seeing you in the Blog Forum.
I totally agree with Manny.
I made this statement when Manu was selected to the allstar game this yr.
Thread
Ok, I don't like one more than the other like most people do. I think they're both very important players for the team and like both their games. But wonder why so many Spurs fan really want Manu in and not TP (both).Although I do believe Manu should be in there, I just don't see how you can justify putting him in front of TP. You're putting the fourth best SG in before the second best PG in the WC. I just don't understand.
I would've hope the Spurs front office and media alike would be pumping TP as well as Manu. Instead you see PHX getting three players instead of SA, which I think are more deserving. Nash is a no brainer, but both Marion and Amare in I think is wrong.
If we were to lose TD, like PHX lost Nash, we wouldn't of lost 5+ games like PHX. TP and Manu would've carried the team, like Marion and Amare couldn't. Proven last yr.
I think Manu will get in and I'll also think this might be his only yr. We'll see TP in there for the next 10yrs. So I guess it doesn't matter.
Just my 2 cents.
Look at the big picture, quit being manu/spurs homers. The dude is 27, he is never going to be better than Kobe or TMAC and Ray (28) will be right there in the mix. If TP doesn't make it this yr at 22 is progressively getting better and will be in there for yrs to come. I don't see a PG who will challenge him in the next coming yrs. Do you really think we'll have 3 all stars every yr. That would be a dream come true, but think realisticly.
It's not about undervaluing his contribution, it's about understanding what the NBA loves to market and what gets you on an All Star team.
AS games mean . Championships do not. That is why I'd rather have Manu over a perrinial all star.
Bump, es.
What the s a battle blog?
look at the dates. Is old school.
Why the did you drag up this rotting corpse, Manny?
Let me get rid of the fluff for you.
Manny i was joking--ive been wanting us to restart the battle blog thing for the longest.
As Mouse would say, I wanted to Toot My Van Horn.
Holy . You're right.
I think M-is-G should lose.... he is always flipping me the bird in his avatar...WITH BOTH HANDS!!!.... screw him.
Perhaps we'll do that battle when we have time one day Manny...
I hope you're not afraid to lose to a girl or anything...
now you need just an argentinian and a frenchman to make it saucy
