Even out of context, what he said is childish! "I wish I could have hurt myself in another way"???? WHAT THE !??
I would call Manu out on this one, because flopping is pussy, but the fact is Manu does get fouled, and does take a beating, and he will not flop if the refs are giving him the whistle.
If they're not, he will flop as the game goes on...this seems acceptable to me.
Yes Manu's flops are a menace to the whole NBA!
Well not the whole NBA at once. Just those players in close proximity.
Pretty much. Complaining gets people nowhere.It is amazing how weak some NBA players are. Barbosa's crying and blaming Manu for his injury that was a result of incidental contact places him in the same lack of class as Allen and Carter. These little girls need to learn to nut it up, understand it is a man's game and just play ball.
Great point.
He doesn't speak English real well. OK? Moron.
So, now it's all right to mock a player who's sad that his injury occured in such an unnecessary manner? That's all he's trying to say. He wish his injury had happened another way. Something other than a flopping player nearly blowing out his knee.
Again, you start with the high and mighty bull .
He's been learning the English language for just over two years now.
Who the you calling a moron, jackass
yeh but if a Spurs player gets injured coz of someone else then they should be suspendedso many homers on this board its ridiculous
yeah...just like Nugget fan if Melo doesn't make the all-star team. Homer. :p
Right, but there isn't a single Suns homer...yeh but if a Spurs player gets injured coz of someone else then they should be suspended
What the do you expect, to get to this site you typed: www.SPURStalk.com
'O Ginobili adora cair para trás. Ninguém sequer tocou nele, e ele apenas caiu. Por isso estou triste em me lesionar assim. Preferia ter me machucado de outra forma', desabafou Leandrinho, contrariando até mesmo o técnico dos Suns, Mike D’Antoni, que inocentou o argentino de qualquer culpa.
quote from gazetaesportiva.com
my translation:
"Ginobili loves to flop. Nobody even touched him, he just fell. That's why I'm sad I'm hurt, I would have prefered being injured another way." Leandrinho said, opposing his own coach, Mike D'Antoni who absolved the argentine of any fault.
Technically Alvarez, Nuggets-Fan is a Denver homer.
that's from a Brazilian paper?? sounds to me even Brazilian press thinks Barbossa was out of line
But didn't the Brazilian paper translate what he said in English into Portuguese? That still doesn't mean he speak good English.
Anyway, my point of taking it out of context is like because reporters can lead a player into saying anything.
For example:
Reporter: "Do you think think this was a one time incident or does Manu flop all the time?"
Barbosa: "He flops all the time."
I'm not saying that this is what happened, I'm just saying that it's pretty harsh to say " Barbosa" "asshole" and all the other crap that's in this thread. The guy has been playing extremely well and he's just venting about getting hurt. Nowhere does he say that he thinks it was malicious or intentional.
Technically Alvarez, Nuggets-Fan is a Denver homer.
My bad....
I didn't even bother looking at the username, I just assumed it was a Suns fan....
Well in that case,
Right, but there isn't a single Nuggets homer...
Better.
So I am guessing Brazilians don't like Argentines or vice versa?
By the way, D'Antoni basically said that Manu flopped but hurt Barbosa accidentally. That's the same thing everyone else has been saying, I think.
"... just to make his point, he was falling down. It was an accident."
at this point I am not sure what is being said. Apparently, Manu Ginobili tried to kill Leandro Barbosa and now the Brazilian Navy is steaming toward Bahia Blanca. :p
All six pages of this are ridiculous. Guys get hurt all the time, landing on a foot, bumping knees, stepping wrong. And in most cases if someone on the other team hadn't been where they were or did what they did that player would not of been hurt. Would Nene have jammed his knee if TD didn't have his hand on his hip? happens and unless it is purposeful, that is the way it goes. Unfortunate, but part of the contact of the sport. Manu has had deliberate shots taken at him that could have resulted in injury, i.e. playoffs v. Denver and Seattle. This incident was an accident, regardless of how it occurred. Time to move on.
If you don't know by know, well then...
Barbosa is a starter right now..or atleast was. He's no scrub...
That scrub lit yer ass a blaze in just 20 short minutes. That scrub was the Suns leading scorer for the previous four games, averaging 19 points in 25 minutes of play.
Why don't you go pretend to know something about basketball by being a bandwagon Spurs fan, ya dope.
And save yourself the time of replying.
I know, I know... I'm an effin' Suns fan who can't know nothing because the Suns always lose to the Spurs and
Manu was the second gunmen on the grassy knoll. He also killed Roger Rabbit and Jimmy Hoffa.
