    Argentina doesn't stand a chance with an old roster.

    And the country of Argentina don't give a crap about basketball during the World Cup...

    Why ruin another good season with the Spurs (who actually pay you) ?
    Cause he has a legacy here in argentina as well as with the spurs.
    And as he said may times the Spurs team is a group of commited guys with one goal.
    He has the same commitment with the players on the NT, at least the older ones, which were instrumental in his NBA sucess. Ginobili wonīt be Ginobili without the NT.

    Ginobili needs to sit if he wants to have any sort of success next season but whatever. 5 championships.
    As said before i have no trouble for him sitting out this one, but i would be lying if i didnīt believe that in my ideal world Manu wopuld play this summer on a reduced role.
    I would love him to play for the NT in a sixth man role. Something like 15 20 mins a game would be great.

    No offence, butI literally stopped reading right there. The 2012 Olympics absolutely made a difference for Manu in the 2013 Finals IMO. No surprise to me that he rested last summer and was significantly better in these finals.

    For a young player like Mills or Kawhi I think it's a huge benefit, but as players age it becomes more detrimental. Pop said how banged up Parker was all year, and Manu has been injury prone for years.
    This is true and you will see much improvment from Tony next season.

    Tony needed to sit last off season honestly. I wonder if he felt he had to play to keep from thinking about the Finals. This offseason he doesnt have that problem. Soak up that sun Tony!

    Tony needs the rest IMHO. He was playing hurt in the finals. And France is projected to get a lot further in the compe ion than Argentina is.
    In fact Argentina may not even make it out of the first round this time which would bode well for all those hoping Manu would rest.
