Manu: "I didn't deserve to be in the ASG"

[cheguevara]

I can appreciate Manu's sentiments, and I think he's a wonderful player.

But, is this really a story? About 99% of people know that Manu didn't deserve to be in the all star game this year. It's not really news. It's nice that Manu is humble enough to say so, but we all pretty much new he wouldn't be going, especially because of his injuries and missed games.

If he were healthy this season, I suspect he might be going instead of Ray Allen. The fact that he is not going and he realizes he didn't deserve to go is not really a suprising development.

I love the humility. I don't know if it's noteworthy.

he had to mention it 'cause of his Argetine fans. They don't get to watch too many games and don't really know why he wasn't picked.

I will be taking advantage of this hours to recover from some little blows and to apply some ice in my ankle, which is still hurting me with all the games we played recently. The most important thing is that I've already lost the fear, although I'm not in fullness yet.

The having no fear and getting rest part is encouraging, but I am sorry to hear Gino is still hurting.
I'm also sad that Timmy is still sick. Although I did suspect that. When I saw Timmy on t.v. the other day, he still doesn't look like himself.

However, I admit that we won some games (like Toronto and Indiana) by miracle.

I was praying. You're welcome.

I think that the team shows experience and good understanding in this complicated ends of games. It's like we concentrate better and defend like we should in those three last minutes.

I agree

So I'm going to a place near San Antonio (I don't want to keep flying) to change air, be quiet and forget about basketball for some days.

The beach, maybe?

I understand that the two games against the Mavericks, one on March 2nd in San Antonio and the other one on April 7th away, will be very special. It can define an important position because now that every conference is divided in three division, if you don't win your division you will be 4th in the playoffs, because the second and third places are for the division winners. And Dallas is in our division so it's very important to win for a possible tie breaker. It's good that we have a few games at home and we will not be travelling too much or packing luggage every day. -Manu

From what I understand from the schedule, both Dallas games are at home. Hopefully that helps our cause.

Very nice article. I am so happy to have heard from Gino. I miss him.


P.S. Sportman- I saw your pic on Gino's offical fan page.

Manu is really an intelligent player and this post supports that even more. He knows what he's talking about (it almost seems like he's reading the forums ) and he doesn't shy away from answering the "controversial" issues. Ginobili for president!

I sent you a message, but in case you didn't get it, I just wanted to say that Ginobili ambiagram is awesome, and I wanted to know it you have a link for it.

They would make great rims or... be the signature for his shoes...

While it's sweet, and Manu is a great player, but does he deserve the all-star more than carmelo?
