Prove that Manu has more worldwide fans (EXCLUDING Latin American fans) than DRob, Ice, Timmy, etc. ever had.
Really?? which Spurs has more worldwide impact than Manu???

Jesus christ! Its obvious!!! When DRob and Ice were playing the Spurs weren't even global!!! Why would international fans watch them?? Huh? I'm talking bandwagon fans!! NOT REAL FANS!!! The NBA has gone global only in the past few years, before then the only NBA players that actually had a bandwagon following outside the US were Jordan, Magic, Bird and maybe Barkley. I know DRob played during the same period as Jordan but Jordan was flashier than David and hence got a of a lot more fans. I really don't understand how it is that difficult to comprehend why Manu has more fans outside of the US than any other Spur in history.
You guys act like we are ripping Tim and Dave we are not. Manu is more popular cause hes fun to watch hes shown that on every level. Hes more global than Tim and Dave cause the world saw what he did to everyone at the Olympics.
No, he's more popular because he appeals to more masses, and also because he's a bit more fun to watch than Tim and David. Not more effective or better, just more fun.
Considering the fact that Manu has been a star proffessionaly on three different continents, I think it is safe to say he is the most globally popular Spur. Dave will always be the man in S.A. though.
Manu is the more popular at the moment then tim or dave for spurs fans, and thats ok, as long as they dont forget y spurs have always been a good franchise, from drob in his prime to the duncan era. Fans can moon over any player, and drob and tim will be the first to acknowledge the hold manu has on fans right now
And I'm talking about fans outside of Latin America. How can you really prove he's the most popular?
I've read tons of articles in the past of fans worldwide of all those Spurs players I mentioned already, who've even traveled to SA just to watch a game and meet the players, then leave the next day. All the articles I've read about Manu's popularity have been about people in Argentina.
Really?? what about all those articles from around the NBA? and if you want I can get you articles from Spain as well. I can't give a specific number of fans each player has, what you're asking me is ridiculous, but if you can't realize Manu's popularity goes beyond Latin America then you've been living in a bubble.
Alright. I quit.
Manu has more fans, even if they're not knowledgeable.
Truce?
Well globally the world saw him kick the out of Tim and Team USA so he automatically got credit from the rest of the world for slaying the dragon that is USA Basketball. Dam I hated Manu that game.
I should read more.
POP!!!if you can't realize Manu's popularity goes beyond Latin America then you've been living in a bubble.
Nah... I never hated Manu. Just his teammates.
Besides you keep saying "only Latin America", well that's being global my friend. Global does not mean EVERY SINGLE CONTINENT (even though I do think Manu is popular in most continents) it just means in more than one. Let say DRob was more popular in the US than Manu, fine, but outside the states Manu has ALL of Latin America, Spain, Italy and maybe more. Do you honestly think DRob, Ice or even Timmy have more of the world covered than Manu has???
globally, manu is already more popular than drob... and you don't have people thinking they will be cured by touching drob like they did to manu in that hospital a few days ago..
Go back and read what MaNuMaNiA said.
He specifically said Latin America, not Argentina.
I'm not fighting you, really! I'm just having a discussion. If you thought I was angry I appologise, I wasn'tAlright. I quit.

Truce?
The World has no ing clue who Ice is/was or what he did for the Spurs or the NBA for that matter.
Get a clue.
hmmm
let me see
from my circle of friends
Manu is more popular... more guys like his style of play.
heck a lot of my friends thought Manu was "the man" in the finals... now they weren't spurs fans...
so im guessing (assuming) that if you weren't a spur fan and you saw the finals you'd like Manu's game than tims (specially on how disappointing TDs playoffs ((FINALS GAME 5 CHOKE JOB) were on 2 gimpy ankles).
if manu continues this level of play... he'll easily be worldwide the most popular spur player ever
One prob with that counter logic there ....slick.
.
Yes but that wouldn't be that hard because I don't remember too many exciting players that the spurs had. I only been watching basketball for 15 years so I can't remember anyone close. Duncan might be the most talented but Ginobili is not that far off from being the best shooting guard in the league. He needs to score more to be that though.
whats that problem?
Looks like shyne might have a point after all . . .
