What the is up with Manu?!? I've been a lurker here for years and know that Manu can be CLUTCH, but he seems to be forgetting where he came from.
Here's why:
Today I saw that Tony is back with the French National team after hurting his ankle, and Manu passed on even suiting up for Argentina. Were it not for the Argentine team, he wouldn't be where he is today. That's why I think that Tony is more loyal that Manu
Hey Manu ===>
Loves the NBA money more than his country? Did you forget about how he was the best player on the Olympic Squad in 2004? He played without a doubt with the most skill and heart in those games. He brought them their first gold in 30+ years. Argentines love him and there's no reason why they wouldn't understand why he prefers not to play. He's aging and declining. He needs all the rest he can get.
52 long years
Manu is 30 now and, knowing his style of play, he need the rest.

Oups!
This is by far the stupidest I've heard this offseason... and that's saying a lot! Manu can do whatever the his mountainous heart desires! He's already given Argentina an Olympic gold medal and 3 NBA les we can be proud to say an Argie contributed to. Here in Argentina he's loved no matter what. Hope the man is enjoying his well deserved rest this offseason
to me sounds like you love stupidity more than reason... I don't know, what do you think?
You dont need to be a troll. The Duncan´s reason is true, like it or not. He simply disagreed with the international refs and told that he would never play international basketball again.
As long as both of them are loyal to the Spurs.....I am happy.
oh god. 70 more days?
ofcourse even when the season starts I'm sure n00bs and badwagoners will be starting threads equally as re ed.
Manu has the right to take a break this year especially since he's already accomplished a lot with his team. I know he said that he could see the Spurs side of it and it made sense and that he really wanted to prolong his career. Besides if he cared all about the money more than his country he wouldn't be using his summer instead to do basketball camps, build a stadium, and become an ambassador for unicef :p.Who cares? what is in the past is in the past. To me looks like he loves more the dollars than his country.
I agree that TD should have kept playing for Team USA but he's already done his part which is more than I can say for most of the other NBA stars. I'm not going to diss him for stopping just like no Ginobili fan should
yeah. Duncan too cause he said no to team USA a few times.What the is up with Manu?!? I've been a lurker here for years and know that Manu can be CLUTCH, but he seems to be forgetting where he came from.

Hey Manu ===>
For your infomation, Manu almost singlehandedly won a gold medal for argentina and he will try to do that again next olympics. a GOLD MEDAL!!! that is the single best olympic achievment ever for that country.
There is no need to insult anybody, I think that, you don't have to personally attack me, dude.
You need to have a thicker skin.
Go Scola Go
Must suck that Scola is the best player suiting up for Argentina this summer.
Hey Sucker!What the is up with Manu?!? I've been a lurker here for years and know that Manu can be CLUTCH, but he seems to be forgetting where he came from.

Hey Manu ===>
it seems you don't know ANYTHING about Manu and International Basketball.. so grab your words and go to some other French kiss ass forum with this ...
Manu passed because he wants to be healthy for as many seasons as he can and if he WILL play the Olympics again.. and because him saving this time... he might even get to the worlds in 2010 for a last shot to conquer EVERY single major baskteball trophy as he was robbed and had to stick with the silver in 2002...
Tony... he doesn't play every summer... being WAY younger than what Manu is...
This is the most worthless thread I've ever seen.
wow how stupid can you get?
And you just posted in it
When Manu doesn't play in the Olympics, then you'll all know where his loyalties lie. Of course, that's assuming Argentina actually gets to the Olympics.
Duncan, Raja Bell and Stephen Jackson should be playing for the US Virgin ISlands...yeah. Duncan too cause he said no to team USA a few times.
For your infomation, Manu almost singlehandedly won a gold medal for argentina and he will try to do that again next olympics. a GOLD MEDAL!!! that is the single best olympic achievment ever for that country.
There's more to this thread than loyalty.
There's fundamentals and defense.
Trade Manu!!!
