Hispanic is related to culture, not to spanish nationality, all the spanish colonies that now are independent countries are hispanic cultures, so Manu is considered hispanic, even if his lastname is italian. His lastname could be Ginobilovich and he will still be considered hispanic because he was born and raised in Argentina.

U mean like Kawhi? Oh wait...
"more likeable" smack
Manu the Barney of basketball
You mean all the stats that tell us Boban was the best Spur two years ago?
Lol, dude's airballed more game-winning attempts than Tony's even attempted.

I have never seen Manu stat pad. I've never seen him even look like he cares about his stats. I can't say the same for Tony. There's a reason Tony does this though, he knows in talking circles around the world gots like these throw out stats without context so why the does he care about context? Just score as much as you can, it got Russell Westbrook the MVP.
Other than that, Manu seems like a nice guy - like an average person could hang out with him. Tony seems like a stuffy bag probably because he is. Must have something to do with being French but I probably can't say that about all French people just the bag French people like Tony.
Manu is a creator, and an artist. Tony is a paint-by-numbers guy. Tony goes to his spots does his moves but outside of that he's basically lost. Manu never does the same thing twice other than turn the ball over.
Manure wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot stick, fat hands.
"Durr, what is sample size?"
Knowing you made a statement without linking any proof to substantiate your claim is one thing. But I do remember back when Nestle Crunch was tracking "crunch time" stats, Manu was perennially at or near the top of the list above the likes of Kobe, Wade, T-Mac and Carmelo - popular players who had more of "clutch" rep than Manu. I'm sure those stats are googleable...
The whole Enrique Hero ball thing with Tony started back when he began to lose a step but still felt he was the one that needed to take shots in the 4th quarter - outside of the offense. I say that because I believe that in his prime Tony WAS a clutch player as well.
I think a difference is that Manu was often clutch on both ends of the court...
Actually Manu does have some "Hispanic" blood. He said years ago on his website that his heritage is 75% Italian(marchesan) and 25% Spanish (galician). Case closed on whether he's Hispanic or not.
The reason manu is more liked than Tony and Tim ever were is because he's not a to his fans. Players build reputations when they're out in public and interact with NBA fans. I personally seen Tony with his mom and brother shopping at petsmart and suddenly getting approached by two white teenage girls. Tony just ignored them and had his brother to tell them to off. I also had a friend who worked at quiznos where Tim was a regular there, and he said Tim would just ignore autograph and selfie requests from fans. He wouldn't even acknowledge his fans.
Manu is known for being super nice and approachable! As is Dirk, Nash, Malik Rose, Sean Elliott, etc.
Players that are known assholes to fans: rasheed wallace, iverson, Duncan, Parker, Danny Green, Kareem, etc
There's a re
Nice touch of putting in the same bag rotation players minutes with garbage time minutes to try and make your case, tbh.
He aplay for da Espurs and he a speaka Spanglish!
Anyone point out Parker isn't a seven time all star? But yes that's the sad part about success, the fans fall in love with their boyfriends and don't give a about the future of the franchise.
I've met and talked to Manu. He didn't have any issues with me.
Outside of Spurstalk, most normal Spurs fans appreciate both players' enormous contributions to the Spurs' success. This site tends to skew from popular opinion because there are a lot of jaded little fvckers in here.
There's a difference between worshipping Satan and worshipping chaos. Either way this place isn't even particularly chaotic. It's actually relatively ordered and predictable as far as the threads that form and the responses they receive.
Manu is not a believer in Christ Our Lord.
Good point. I concede.
I've always been partial to two-way players who put in the effort on both ends and weren't all about stats. Duncan, Ginobili and Kawhi fit that mold. Parker never did. Also, Ginobili's game was far more exciting to watch than Parker whether it was scoring or play-making.
manu is fearless, uber compe or like kobe Bryant
