Nick names I've heard these past two days in reference to Manu:

"Argentinian Ace"
"Ginobili the Great"
"El Contusione"
"Manu the Magnificent"
"Manuxplosion"
"Mr. Offensive Manufacturer"
"The Closer" ("TNT")
"The Winning Element"
"The Energizer Bunny"
"M-awe-nu"
"The Amazing Manu"
"Ginobil-i-mposible"
"Pheno-Manu-l"
"ManU" (In a soccer article referencing the sale of Manchester United LTD to Mr. Glazer)

And of course:
Controlled Chaos
or
Air Chaos (a name I had reserved for his signature shoe... whenever that moment comes)

With so many names I'm sure he will get offered his own signature line of shoes... I better hurry up with my prototypes.

"Pheno-Manu-l"

That's my favorite so far......although el Contusion was pretty hilarious.

[Phenomanul]

That's my favorite so far......although el Contusion was pretty hilarious.

I have to take credit for that one [Pheno-Manu-l] I just didn't want to come out and say it outright... thinking it was better to state "I had heard it elsewhere...."

And technically I wasn't lying...

I heard it in one of my "inner voices...."

[Phenomanul]

"El Contusione" was coined by Brent Barry...

"Ginobili the Great" by Parker

"The Amazing Manu" and "Manu the Magnificent" both classy les: were coined by Steve Kerr

"Controlled Chaos" by Sean Elliot

[MaNuMaNiAc]

How about GINOBILITY! LOL

[Phenomanul]

I can't remember where I read "M-awe-nu"..........
but that one is pretty creative as well......

[Phenomanul]

How about GINOBILITY! LOL

As an adverb.... "he has the Ginobility to get to the basket at will".....

Good.

Keep them coming.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I didn't mean it as ability, I meant it a nobility. But the ability thing works aswell

[Jimcs50]

I call him the "Argentinian Assassin"

[Phenomanul]

Oh... I see.

I guess it eluded me the first time around....

[SilverPlayer]

my wife calls him Nobby or Nobbly, can't tell if I like that one or not.

[SWC Bonfire]

I'm sure a lot of the names he's been called this playoffs weren't suitable for mixed company.

[Phenomanul]

I call him the "Argentinian Assassin"

oooooooooooohhh I like that one.
