While you may have respected him, we all know how untrue this statement is.
damn. What's wrong with Oberto last night? Bring him a break.
Oberto > Rasho.
Oberto's passing> Rasho.
Oberto's IQ basketball> Rasho.
Oberto's defense on Bosh > Rasho's defense on Duncan
Oberto's offensive and rebounds last night> Rasho's points and rebounds
Oberto with 3 million per year > Rasho with 8/year
While you may have respected him, we all know how untrue this statement is.
Nice selective quote. I think the part you omitted is 100% true. No one really HATED Rasho here until you came in on your one woman anti-Spurs Rasho is the Second Coming Jihad.
the spurs team is funny
bunch of all guys and no basketball
die hard![]()
Rasho > Oberto
Oberto (APG 1,2, PPG 5,2, MPG 21,5 - Career: APG 0,8, PPG 3,8, MPG 15,6)
Rasho (APG 1,0, PPG 4,2, MPG 16,4 - Career: APG 1,0, PPG 6,7, MPG 23,3)
Oberto's IQ basketball > Rasho - you got to be kidding
Rasho's defense --------------------> Oberto's defense
Rasho : Years Pro:9 -----------------------> Oberto : Years Pro:2
Don't expect Oberto will ever be payed 8M![]()
OBERTO![]()

Oberto in the playoffs > Rasho in the playoffs
Oberto playoff stats : 27 games, PPG 4.5, REB 3.8, AST 1.8, MPG 16.6
Rasho playoff stats : 59 games, PPG 3.9, REB 3.7, AST 0.6, MPG 17.3
Not big difference
Yeah, ploto has turned a few people off Rasho. A lot of people hate Kobe Bryant for similar reasons, his fans are annoying...
I was so-so on Rasho, but I appreciated things he did well, but also hated a lot of things he did not so well. I would welcome him back on the team if his salary was similar to that of Elson, simply because he is decent at defending the big players and he knows the system. $2-3M would be acceptable, anything more, no thanks.
PS - One thing that always pissed me off was how Rasho fans would act like the way he set screens was a big reason for TP being able to get into the lane. Laughable. He gets 2 rebounds in 20mins, BUT HE SETS GREAT SCREENS!!!.. Sure he did, but come on, most big men do, and none of Tony's stellar play was due to Rasho, quote him all you want but we all know players will talk well of there teammates to keep the peace![]()
I'm not kidding. Oberto's big hands and his IQ basketball>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rasho.
Oberto last night 4 asist, how many Rasho?
Oberto 5,2 ppg 5,6 rpg this season.
Rasho 4,2 ppg 3,8 rpg this season. (too bad for a 8/year player)
When does Rasho impress us in the playoffs as Oberto last year?
yeahRasho had an amazing round like Fab against Utah.
Is Oberto's career bad?...well Rasho is an Olympic Champion as Oberto.![]()
I respect Rasho but last year and this season Oberto>Rasho.![]()
I never thought Rasho was so bad. What I do remember is that he really stepped up to the plate a lot when Duncan was sitting with an injury. I always felt that when Duncan played, he more or less defered to Duncan.
I also remember that Rasho was the one guy that could at least half assed handle Shaq and Yao. Yeah, he seemed soft most of the time, but he did have some really good games as a Spur.
Rasho isn't going to be a 14/14 guy, but then again who have we had at center since DRob that is?
That does it pretty much for me, her and Angel Luv. The other sloveians Slomo, SLovenian Guy, etc.... are cool.
I was talking about career not only one season. And comparing national teams, Slovenia with 2M, Argentina with 40M....... God knows what would hapened if Slovenia had 40M citizens, but we are playing qualifying tournament this year and Rasho still have chance to achieve that
I also respect Fab, but some argentinian players i respect more, Manu is one of them
Oberto with Rasho on the floor: 9:37 min, 2 pts (1/1), 2 fouls, +/- -1 (no assists, no rebouns). I see, Oberto is way better.
Generaly: I don't get any any fan of any given team who is able to hate(!) member of his own team.
I also don't get bashing team's ex-members. How does bashing Rasho help Spurs? Really?
Does Rasho deserves bashing and hating just because he was not chest-thumping pimp? He was (and is) great teammate, disciplined and quiet. He never asks for attention and is always ready to play for the team, not for his own stats.
And right now - I'd trade Bonner&Elson for Rasho in the moment (actually Elson+Barry would work)
Once again, a thread about international players has been reduced to a hostile war of words between citizens of the countries each player represents.
It is sad, really, because if Rasho wasn't Slovenian, he would be another hard-working BWS. Ploto, ask yourself this question, if Rasho was, say, American, would you care?
BTW, I liked Rasho when he was a Spurs, and I still like him. He gave his all on the floor (however limited it was), and played great team defense. He has to traded due to his contract, and that is none of his problem.
QFT. Rasho was too insignificant to be hated in the first place. People kinda felt sorry for his slow, soft, awkward play. And bagged on him in the same way that 20 other teams' fans bag on their centers (Center is the most overpaid position in the NBA and it aint close).
Then you (ploto) come along with indignation that would be understandable if the Spurs had traded David Robinson! People really got tired of you dissing the current Spur centers and trying to compare Rasho favorably with them. No FO with any sense would pay Rasho 8 million to under-perform. Except the Raptors of course.
Your constant plugging of Rasho and the Raptors is what has irritated most of the fans on this board. The Rasho-nut-hugging is fine if you're going to swoon over his personality, looks et al (a la angel_luv), but using basketball arguments to try and position Rasho as a valuable commodity in this league is ridiculous.
Rasho sucks. For 8 million per year he is among the leaders in suckage per $. It is what it is. The Spurs don't need him or want him. So try and find a new angle please.
well some slovenian player I respect more, Beno is one?![]()
it's a joke.![]()
I love Manu but I don't love argies (I'm getting tired of argie's Scola thread or Tony's hater 'cause Manu...) and Oberto isn't my player favorite but I like him when he plays well and he had good games this season.
really?
Oberto last night -/+ +10 6p 7r 4ast
Rasho -2 6p 1r 1ast

So ya'll saying you hate Rasho because of Rasho's fans. Do you realize how ludicrous it is??
If you want to see real sports fanatism how about the manu's church bunch? should we hate Manu then?? simply ignorant.
All I'm saying is that Pop signed Rasho to do what he does, which he did. He was a hard worker, classy guy and loyal to the spurs and should be remembered as such regardless of his fanbase.
who's?![]()
Je ne suis la personne que vous recherchez.
True.
I remember that nice goodbye thread you ( timvp) started for him and all the people who contributed to it.
As such, I ask this favor: that you all try to remember the things you liked about Rasho, if only for my sake.
That's some excellent photo shopping. I'm not sure that even Rasho would recognize himself.
Angel Luv or Ploto....Is Rasho getting a bald spot in the front? I thougt I noticed it during last night's game but wasn't sure.
BTW...Funny pic, although I think a mullet would have suited him better.
Yea, he is.
My friends have been telling me for a long time that Sho was losing his hair but I would never believe them.
But the other day I was showing a friend some of my Spurs pictures and saw that my friends were right.
Luckily for Sho, he's tall so, except for when he is on television, who is going to notice?![]()
Well, hopefully with that fat contract he can get some hair restoration surgry when he's done playing.
Or maybe he likes the bald look, some chicks dig that.![]()
