Bowen thinks Ginobili has been selfish in 2006

[Quadzilla99]

If pop did stress it that much in the timeout then it really is true. no other reason for him to do something that stupid than trying to be the hero

I didn't even notice this before, but at the very end of that gif- Simmons trips over his own feet trying to get to Anderson who would have had an open 3. Lol.

Ah no! He trips over Patty's foot! lol! Dammit Patty! If you can't play D, at least let your teammates do their thing!

Fitting that Bruce dropped this Truth Nuke on Manure the same day Trump threatens to nuke Kim Jong Un.

Manure has cost this team 3 les at least, and this team would be zero les short without that role player. Those are just the facts.

Manure is the Jay Cutler of basketball. Both turnover machines and egotistical s. Their slurpers claim they have "heart" & a "great arm" only because they pull off a fluky pass every now and then... after throwing 8 turnovers in the process

If Manu didn't hit the prior three, the Spurs would have never been up tbh.

Love ya, but you're stale as now. Time to reposition yourself like Apo. You're going the way of Kool: That guy has severely diminished with his staleness and you're following suit.

Would hate to see that in a poster like yourself, tbh.

Can we kill this stupid belief once and for all - it was a brain cramp, but what cost us a back to back was the refs. There is no question Manu fouled Dirk and it was dumb! However, we had a possession left before OT. We went down the floor, and the Mavs committed 2 fouls contesting the initial shot, and 3 more fouls stopping TD from putting it back, none of which were called. That's on the refs for calling it at one end, and not at the other...

It took a lot to go against us for that 06 team to not win it all.. Best Prime Duncan team by far to not win the championship..

Thank you! Dirk has said 'he was intentionally tying to foul Tim.' The foul called on Manu was because he touched Dirk where all the fouls not called in the last play where obvious and hard fouls. Again, we aren't in that game without Manu's play.

[lefty]

Bruce better stay in his lane. What an asinine thing to say about a teammate and future Hall of Fame'r.

Manu scored 19 of his 23 pts in the second half, hit big shot after big shot, including the 3 that gave the Spurs the lead & didn't miss a FT in the game. Dude was devastated for fouling Dirk and inconsolable afterwards. Somehow, Bruce Bowen says Manu just wanted the glory? Manu was in a frenzy of compe iveness and made a bad play. End of story. You live and die with Manu being Manu. Bowen for not doing a better job on Dirk who had 37 points & while we're at it, Robert Horry and his 2 pts too. What assholes.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Reckless play is not about helping the team win, it's about self-aggrandizement. That's Manu's MO.

I didn't know you had fallen so low

[SpurOutofTownFan]

If anything the only thing that Manu did wrong in that game was his foul on Dirk. But the Spurs didn't lose because of him. It was a goddamn collective effort to lose that game - in fact Manu had a pretty good game.

So, again, BB is a team sport. Tons of happens in 48 mins to chalk it all up to just one guy

[ElNono]

Manu never shied from the big moment (glory I guess), tbh, for good or bad. I take Bruce's words in that context. As Pop said, he's learned Manu does way more good than bad...

Plus Bruce and Manu are good friends, Bruce been in Argentina quite a few times... I can see Bruce holding a grudge with Pop due to the way he left the team, but that's about it.

TL;DR: OP is a got Parker fluffer, article doesn't say anything about selfishness or Parker...

You smell of old berries. Need to ramp up your trolling. It's getting old.

Also I have to laugh at your "facts"

Stupidly fouls Dirk, and if harden wasn't a dumbass, this one could've easily been 3 free throws.

The difference of making the WCF or not... glorious moment, tbh... Harden probably still sulking about it at his local strip club...

[Spurtacular]

And yet here on ST... the narrative is opposite... Parker is the selfish dude and Ginobili the unselfish working hard dude I wonder why tbh...

apalisoc_9 making it into pro Parker thread

[Keepin' it real]

If Manu didn't hit the prior three, the Spurs would have never been up tbh.

So that makes the foul on Dirk okay? Even though pop told everyone 10 times in the timeout not to foul or double Nowitzki

[diego]

Parker was so selfish that series he took 38 more shots than Manu (+40% fga in only 10% more minutes), but he was unselfish enough to stay on the bench for the last possession, so it's a tough call

[gospursgojas]

'06 Manu game instincts are the same as '17 Manu-

2006- Foul on Dirk for And 1, lose game and chances at the one and only repeat
(I think we would have beat Miami. We were way better coached than Avery yelling at everyone 100% of the time.)

2017- Blocks Harden's three point attempt- Spurs win series

You take the good with the bad.

Bowen with a truthbomb

Manu cost us at least 2 championships

2013 was blatant
