Yeah...taking more shots matters...like if Mike Miller took more shots than he would average the most points ever in the NBA....once again look at the stats...look at the intangibles....look at history....nuff said.
How isn't he?
Manu owns Francis.
Dude, don't even bother bringing this up in a Spurs forum.

Why the are you such a hater?
Are you mad because Slava isn't going to denver? Dude, you need to calm down. Manu is without a doubt an all-star, and if you can't accept that, what do you want me to tell you?
Just don't watch the game.
I FROM ARGENTINA I SAY SLAVA PUTA
Manu's my favourite spur...I'm just not blinded by the BS...
Look I mean no disrespect for the majority of you posters (Nikos etc).
Great..the Argentines are here...more non biased postings....yeah right.
DUDE....you are really pissed off. Chill out and have a nice big cup of shut the up. Go to the lakers forum and complain there....where not even lakers fans care about stupid Slava
No one ever said suggested that anyone who takes more shots can be like Kobe or Ray Allen or any elite shooting guard/forward.
The point is Manu is an efficient player who sees a decent amount of possesions as a Spur. And right now he is making really efficient use of those possesions. Its not like hes just a spot up shooter for the team.
It is rather feasible that Manu could put up better stats (not neccesarily Kobe like), but reasonable stats that look appealing from an NBA.comEfficiency Rating or Glory Stats (Pts+Reb+Ast+Stls) standpoint.
Yup...here comes the brilliant responses...
I am pissed off..my original post was congratulating Manu...but once I start seeing people dissing my boy...I get sensitive....but then again...I'll try not to let my emotions dictate my responses.
The only reason I don't care, well first off we have three and second, us Dagos stick together
whottt vs. medvedenko...
If I understand your positions, whottt doesn't think Kobe belongs and med doesn't think Manu belongs. OK, guys I think you both know that the truth lies somewhere in between.
First, Manu's numbers and contributions in support of Tim(the star of the team) make him a worthy pick, especially considering who picked him. We have no clue how he would fare as the star of an NBA team. He did great in an Olympic role, but honestly this is the NBA, a whole different animal, regardless of the USA disaster in Athens.
But, playing down Kobe's awesome numbers because of FG% and TO's is just plain wrong. With Shaq gone, his responsibilities, shots, TO's are understandably up, as are his positive stats. I don't know that whottt was implying this, but Kobe easily belongs in All Star game ahead of Manu.
As an aside, I see alot of talk on boards and media alike questioning Kobe and TMac's place on the team. I believe they, along with LeBron, are the only ones averaging 25+, 6, and 6 AND doing so as the unquestioned elite player on their team.(teams that are seen as being less than stacked and/or deep) Kobe's absence has them dropping out of the playoff race. Meanwhile, TMac has slowly taken charge of the Rockets while improving his criticized weaknesses...non-coachable, no defense, no leadership. Anyone here who has closely watched him this year, has seen a TMac that is maturing and transforming. How much or how far he goes...we'll have to wait and see.
Great wallpaper!!!
Um, DIFFERENT conferences? Besdies, ALL questions and es should go to the COACHES in each conference. They voted for the reserves. Injury replacements are fair game for the ol' NBA is marketing foreign players shtick. Stern appoints them.How the is Manu better than Francis...I'm getting way too tired about this BS.
Francis didn't make it. Michael Redd didn't make it, and I think he's the best pure shooter in the game, and yes, that includes Ray Allen. Tough . There are probably 5-6 players each year who deserve to go, but don't. Kwitcherbellyakin. I know it's a shock that you only have one AS this year, Slobber. I know it will be an EQUAL shock to find out that LA has had their share of undeserving All Stars over the years, like Eddie Jones, and a young NVE. Suck it.
What a ing you are...
The mother er is scoring 16 ppg on 49% shooting...now how hard do you think it would be for him to score 20 ppg by taking 2 or 3 more shots per game?
Do you think there is some impossible barrier preventing him from doing that? Do you think he is physicaly incapable of doing that?
And don't you dare say it's because he plays with Tim Duncan, Shaq.
Medevdenko, people like you are why Steve Nash isn't starting the AS game...
You haven't impressed anyone with the lame ass BS you are spewing...you have contradicted yourself and kicked your own ass at every turn.
The only thing you have proven here in this argument is that you have a very limited knowledge of the game...as if the fact that you are fan of Slava hadn't already done a good enough job of convincing us of that.
Stay down.
Nice breakdown...except for the fact that I never said Kobe doesn't belong.
I didn't like Med's "I guess 16, 4 and 4 gets you an AS berth" comment...since he wanted to get technical about it I got technical about it.
The truth is the starting spots are a lot more questionable than the coaches selections...I mean is it a no-brainer that Kobe deserves to be starting over Ray Allen? Not from my POV...Ray Allen has kicked our butts this season...while Bowen kicked Kobe's butt...and it's not like Allen has Shaq on his team or anything.
And more questionable voting...How in the is Steve Nash not starting? The guy is the freaking MVP.
If people want to second guess selections...let's do it with the fan voting...not with the guy that HOFers and coaches are selecting.
To start with, you're in a Spurs forum.
What do you expect?
Woohoo, great Manu. Sure would've of like to see TP in there instead of three PHX.
We still have the head coach in there.
whottt owns medvedenko on this thread.
Congrats, Manu. Well deserved.
Keep your head up TP. Your gonna get there.
If Pop gives Manu 20 minutes he will be the All-Star game MVP, provided the Suns don't hog the ball with each other.
Told you.
Dammit! We can put a man on the moon, but we cannot create a satisfactory internet forum search tool (or maybe I lack savvy). I called Manu for All-Star game MVP before the season started, but now I cannot find it. I expect AHF will back me up because way back when, he agreed with me.
Well I've been saying for a frickin' year now that he would win it if given the chance.
I remember you and I being on the same wavelength on that one.
Manu will go absolutely nuts in a game like that, I can't wait. Oh, and it's one time Pop can let him go and not worry about him causing the Spurs a loss
