It's TRUE Manu did call his agent re: Bell to PHX

[MaNuMaNiAc]

i looked, but it's not listed. But i don't need to prove it existed as there were plenty of posts re: the whole issue.

Though, at this point it doesn't matter who started it as it's been confirmed by Bell and the Rudoy that Manu whinned.

Look, you can talk all the you want. Come playing time, you'll disappear like everyone else we've played against. Have fun with your overrated team.

Kid, Manu was 21 pts, 4 rebs, 4 asts, in 29 minutes against Bell in the regular season.

He had a 31 pts, 8 rebs, 7 asts, in 35 iminute game when Bell started against Manu.

Hold on to your "he called and complain" story. Print it, blow it up, andnail it to your ceiling so it gives you something to beat off to. Don't you think the Ben Affleck poster is a little... you know.

Raja Bell is a punk who couldn't make it on the Spurs roster. He never stoped Manu before and he still wont. Why would any of you all attach substance to anything an agent says, haven't you all been watching and hearing the circus that T.O's agent Drew Rosenhaus is???

If the report is true maybe it was a joke. But I doubt that Manu, a guy who keeps attaking the rim against the Shaqs and the Ben Wallaces of the league, and the thugs like Jerome James and Denver's big men of the league...is afraid of anybody. You mean to tell me after all Manu went through, all the bumps and bruises that he obtained during the 2005 playoffs Manu is afraid of little ol' Raja Bell. C'mon

Also, do you guys really think Phoenix is doing a good job gearing up to take down the Spurs, by trying to stop Tim with Kurt Thomas, and Manu with Bell???

That said, if Manu did indeed ring his agent and complain about the signing in a serious way, that is odd. Doesn't seem like a Manu thing to do.

Still, it doesn't take anything away from my previous post about how Manu owns Bell.

[ChumpDumper]

if Bell "holds" Manu to his career avg of 12pts and scores 12, it's a landslide for Bell?

If Bell holds Manu to under 60% shooting, it will be some minor miracle.

[gospursgojas]

This all sounds like a shameless ploy by Suns fans to cover up the wack job they are doing trying to counter the Spurs talent, with guys like Thomas, who Tim owned in 99 and Bell who Manu owns all the time

[Marhq]

When/How did Bell "earn" that reputation of being a Manu stopper? I must've missed those games.

[FoxMulder]

PHX is strange... they lost Joe Johnson and add Raja Bell to replace it... yeah Manu is really afraid... wait it wasn´t Raja Bell playing for USA when ARG beat them first time? Maybe I´m wrong.
But anyways this guy is a big L and maybe a jynx...
every team where he has played became worst suddendly...

[nkdlunch]

keep thinkin i'm mouse all you want.. whatever yanks yer chain.

Second, go back and read this thread. I've posed all the links and quotes.. WATCH the freakin video link listed not too far above. Geez you really are a Spurs fan ain't ya.

You keep repeating yourself. So what's your point??
Bell went to the Suns:



Manu is afraid of Bell?
Bell is gonna turn the Suns into a playoff threat?

Mavs fans thought the same about VanHorn and look what happened

truth is w/Bell or w/out Suns will be a sorry ass team come playoff time. enjoy your winning regular season

Bell plays for the Virgin Islands, I believe they played only once against each other at National Team level. And Argentina routed in the game, Manu played like 15 minutes because that was enough to win. Now Bell will get another taste of that in the Suns.

[spurschick]

Not to add more fuel to the fire, BUT the agent was at the Bell press conf. BC mentions it WITH the agent there. Think he'd lie about something like that WITH the agent standing in the room?? I doubt it.

Why would Rudoy say anything? He's not going to bust in and say "No, Manu didn't say that" in the middle of a press conference with another client. It sounds like whatever Manu said, if anything, has gotten blown out of proportion and Bell is riding the wave. Enjoy it while it lasts. See you on the court.

Come back when you know your facts and don't make a fool of yourself.

Facts? You're an idiot, the only person making a fool of himself is you. Where, exactly, are your "facts?" Everything you've stated is opinion, same as me jackass. The closest thing to "facts" you've posted is this stupid story that was either taken out of context or an obvious joke. Why would Manu fear a bench hack like Raja Bell? I'm sure a basketball virtuoso like yourself knows Ginobili hung 31 on Bell back in March. I'm also sure you know this fact: 6-2 That's the Spurs' record against your beloved Suns. Fact that, fool.

Go register at phxsuns.net and post with the other paint sniffers who've deluded themselves into thinking the Suns aren't anything more than a one-year wonder.

Right out of Manu's spanish forum:

Y... la verdad es la siguiente:

Tenemos el mismo agente y hablando con mi agente le comente que era un defensor duro y demas (el lo sabe bien tambien). Lo demas fue mas anecdotico y gracioso que un hecho real. Nunca lo llame para decirle eso.

Espero haber aclarado la cosa.

Saludos


Manu says that he called his agent and he told him that Bell it's a tough defender. But the rest it's just anecdotic and funny, he never called him especially to tell him about Bell, it was just a comment.

Thanks. It's nice to finally hear it out of Manu's own mouth and not some reporter or Bell who had no part in the conversation . I knew Manu was probably joking around while maybe talking about him.
