Its On - USA v Argentina - AKA Whottttttttttt does Argentina

**ThunderStix®** · 08-21-2008

I really could care less what the players are like, I just want the USA to be number one.

They're all good people once they put on that USA jersey.

**AnotherArgie** · 08-21-2008

They truly don't give a about that...they already get paid and are famous.

I didn't know all the Team USA members post under the name of whottt. Now I know why you have so many posts.

By the way, is that player who wants to become the first billonaire athlete also saying he doesn't give a , because he is already rich and famous?

I know I'll be celebrating each time Manu owns Kobe. I can't lie and say I have the ability to suddenly root for Kobe and against Manu.

Eh, hardcore Manu Fan is delusional anyways. An embarrassment or a gold medal won't change that

You know no matter what I'll be rooting for Manu. Except seeing the US dominate him would me kinda happy but sad at the same time. It is true that I love Manu and how he plays and there is no way I could personally root for Kobe over Manu.

But this isn't a one on one game. And if Kobe has to go off for 80 for the US to beat the living out of Argentina then I'll be happy all day and all night.

However, you can bet your ass I'm not rooting for Oberto. I have he gets posterized left and right and I hope those stupid short nasty jumpers of him clang so much they have to replace the rim at halftime. I hope he gets dunked on and has American nuts hanging in his face so much that he knows what soap Dwight Howard uses.

I WANT BLOOD.

A gold medal isn't worth anything to me as a Spurs fan, but Kobe crying would be.

Maybe if Kobe gets arrested or something and misses the game, then it'll be possible for me to root for the US. Otherwise, I'll have to be a neutral observer.

are you ing kiddin dude? guys like Herrman,Scola Nocioni, Delfino, and even Fricking Manu Ginobilli were already rich before 2004,most of the guys on that team were already playing in Europe for a long long time.
And BTW,If they wanted more money,they would've stayed in Europe and make more tham what they're making right now in the NBA.
Look at Delfino's contract,he makes more money tham Manu in Russia,and Scola was making more money in Spain tham in Houston.
So,STFU.

They play for the Argie NT not for the money or fame,but for Glory.
the Baby blue and White jersey, as simple as that.

**GEICO Caveman** · 08-21-2008

Kobe's going to destroy Manu.

Baby blue and White,that´s what make this guys play like that.

Nocioni and Oberto would be making more money in Europe? No.

If Argentina does get embarrassed and the game is over by halftime, ArgSpursFan getting owned will be a good consolation prize.

Ginobili has the NBA to thank for his now World Wide NBA promoted fame. Before he was known in Argentina and Italy.

Now hes known world wide.

US 2.5 M p/yr is about 1m Euros/yr,and they pay less taxes in Europe tham in the US,plus most players get a house for free for the time they spend on the town they´re playing for, so yes they could be making more money in Europe.Believe that.

maybe so,but TIMVP was talking about money.
And this guys were already making money,and on most cases, more money in Europe.
They just want to play in the NBA to prove themself they belong to the world BB elyte,that´s all.

If they win, they were supposed to win. If they lose, they are a group of conceited ballas who disgraced Americans because they didn't have any heart.

Worst players than Manu and Noc, just to name our best players... are making twice what they are in Europe. Remenber Euro>>>>>Dolar.

Playing in the NBA was never about the money for most international players, it's about playing on the best league in the world.

Thats another story... and to be fair, the NBA owe players like Manu, Yao, Dirk, Parker, Kirilenko,etc, a lot more than they owe the NBA.
International players of that caliber are amazing publicity for the league, wich the league takes advantage to the fullest.

Is a win-win situation, you make the league better, and more popular than ever world-wide.

just in case y'all missed it.. i didn't see any reply from y'all

timvp lame comments saying that team USA players have millions to lose without having in consideration they all have insurance where nor the player neither the franchise would lose a penny if a player goes down, shows a sense of desperation.

As for the other suck ups thinking that D-Wade, Le Bron, Kobe and Tayshaun Prince could stop Manu...

MORE THAN ONE TIME any of those 4 got ED by Manu either on the regular season, playoffs and/or the Finals and on their own ing Gym...

in addition International Manu > NBA Manu

even more funny... this thread has similar predictions to the bump of the 2004 one...

check my IP i am in Chicago and with my Argentine Scola Jersey on... Argentina may go down yes... but not without making you suffer first...

You aren't allowed to say y'all.

**MannyIsGod** · 08-21-2008

I saw it - and I saw you quote it twice as though it was something huge that we all had to respond to. I don't see whats so special about your post that you have to keep quoting it.

How many medals does Uruguay have anyway?

EDIT - In fact this thread is about the USA vs Argentina. No one ever mentioned Uruguay, Paraguay or any other guay. Go play with Poland in another sandbox.
