Did Manu insult your family or something?
--- Manu has given his all for the team that pays him; that doesn't mean he has to sacrifice everything else.
--- He doesn't deserve derision from those who don't understand his sense of patriotism.
--- Manu took less money to play for the Spurs. His contract is probably the most lopsided contract in the NBA today, in terms of value per dollar. You couldn't get equal return in any trade unless the Cavs were willing to part ways with No. 23. Isn't that admirable enough?
--- Manu played on a bum foot, because he is one of a compe or. How's that for those who question his loyalty or his will to win?
--- His injury simply came at the worst possible time. Bad luck, move on.
--- He carried the team on his back for most of the season and was arguably their MVP last season.
--- His efficiency, which is a roundabout indicator of whether or not one can handle the grind of the NBA season, was top 10.
--- Manu had the best regular season, statistically speaking, of his career - the year he was supposed to have fallen off a cliff.
--- Manu's clutchness on both ends of the floor is irreplaceable.
