the legend grows...
man i cant believe this thread is still out here.. awesome.
and will stop when it reaches infinity.
epic bump. ran back out and ed the mavs with cotton in his nose
Manu has yet another notch on his belt as a ing spurs legend.
Reminds me of the regular season game in 2005 season when he got elbowed in the nose and had to sink flagrant foul shots and had to go to the bench for a brief period, then nailed all the free throws which secured the game.
Pego and I watched that, we were like whoa wtf
What an amazing comeback
If he doesn't leave the game, we beat the Mavs by 20
At least Manu's nose didn't make foul to Dirk's wlbow
“If Dirk or Jason Kidd get hurt, people like that who are ultimate compe ors, they play unless they can’t do it,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “That’s what (Manu) did.”
Iron Mike Ditka is now considering wearing tape over his nose.
Does anyone with photoshop skills want to take a shot at it?
sorry, double post, see below.

an article from the main french sport site about manu. nothing really new, but still great to see a full article about manu in a french important media (i put it in the first manu related thread i found):
http://www.lequipe.fr/Basket/breves2...dre-ideal.html
Ginobili, the ideal son-in-law (which means in this french expression, he's nice, polite, perfect, politically correct, so that any parents would like him to marry their daughter)
Manu, player extrovert et smart at communicating, has an almost perfect popularity in Argentina. Almost....
There are a lot of reasons to appreciate Manu Ginobili. First, for the crazy generosity of his very inspired game who led the spurs in a good rythm in the PO. For his achievements: he's the only one with Bill Bradley to have won the euroleague, the NBA le and the gold medal. for his personality of course, both wise and extrovert, which make him the ideal son-in-law of an "over soccerised" argentina, who search some positive heros, well on all aspects.
Outside of the soccer and tennis players, stars that can't be ignored but sometimes unbearable, they are two to have this profile, the hockey female player, Luciana Aymar, et him, Manu Ginobili. Both are provincial, her from Rosario, him from Bahia Blanca. Both are known as much for their own talent as for the fact that they represent their national team. Before the Beijin olympic games, a big campaign was showing manu like a samaritan, here going with kids in theme parks, here like a male mid-wife. The whole package.
A big Twitter user.
Geek "dedicated", he uses as an expert all the networks. He promised on Twitter not to talk bball anymore till the end of the mavs serie. Fail ! He allowed us to follow, with a lot of sense of humour, the saga of his broken nose. "Confirmed !" he said after the game 3, "they broke my little nose. what a shame. it was so cute". Later: "the surgery was succesful" with a lot of photoshoped pics rather funny.
So is Manu, who the spanish paper Gigantes once called "Manudona" et who show us the visages scanned of his future twins on Facebook. So, no flaw ? not exactly. He had to justify longly his absence for the next world championship in a column that he writes for some years in the paper La Nacion. He promised to be there for the London Olympics et to take part to the qualifying compe ion but some peole reproach him for favoring his career plan rather than the conquest of the only le that lacks the gold generation of the argentine NT: the world championship. Seen from France, it looks like a great problem to have.
