MYSA: Ginobili might miss Olympics with ankle injury

[Manudona]

I've read this whole thread and learned nothing that I already didn't know.

1) Ducks HATES Manu, openly wishes for him to be traded for some random African-American shooting guard and is openly jealous that he's the second best player on the Spurs, not Tony.

2) TPark is a xenophobic Republican nitwit who would totally want Manu to kick ass in the Olympics if he was born in Des Moines, Iowa instead of Bahia Blanca, Argentina

3) Argentinian Manu fans don't much care about Spurs fans' problems because in their minds Americans don't appreciate Manu as much as they should in the first place (the flopper labels, calling him soft for the injury, etc.)

4) Most Spurs fans don't care about Argentina fans' problems because they're too uneducated to find Argentina on a map.

5) Manu's not a dummy. If he's healthy enough to play, he'll play, if he's not, he won't, and no matter what decision he makes, the people who liked him before will defend it and the people who disliked him before will criticize it. He could regain his health, win another gold and the MVP of the tournament and the usual suspects here will be upset with him for not resting and "jeopardizing" the Spurs chances in '09. He could sit out the whole summer and get injured in the regular season anyway and they'll rip him for being injury prone and wish he could've been traded in the off season. I mean, at this point it's pretty obvious that Manu could save Ducks from a burning building and Ducks would still rip him the next day, so why bother commenting?

This post should end the thread

Too true. I hoped for Manu to play in the Olympics and show America AGAIN that teamwork demolishes a bunch of roped together Allstars, but if he's too hurt so be it. But I'l support him either way. It would be the best for the Spurs if he sat out, but everyone should let Manu decide, and then deal with the consequences.

Now do see why i said to trade him for Artest or Anthony. Its time to face facts. Trade him while he still has value his body needs a whole summer off to recover. If Ginobili plays for Argentina then trade him. He's already won the olympics. Just sit it out Manu or get traded.

Second verse, same as the first.

I sure am glad that Pop decided to give a seriously injured player so many minutes in the WCF. It may have sunk our team, but it does send out a message that the Spurs will not discriminate against the disabled.

What poor excuse to say he is injured during the WCF. He was not injured. That is a pretty weak ailment to nail an injury on.
