    Maradona and Manu were just crossed live on a very popular variety shows.

    Maradona said:
    - He was a Spur fan even before Manu got there.
    - Manu deserved the MVP award over Duncan, for being more regular and taking the ball in the final minutes.
    - Manu wanting and taking the ball in the last minutes showed a lot of courage and made us all very proud.
    - He wants to get Manu's jersey and Manu said that he was not going to mail it but give it to him personally.
    - He also said he was talking to Batistuta and they both thought Manu still playing for the national team after all he has already won was heartbreaking (really touching).

    Manu also said he was really happy to see Maradona doing a lot better physically.

    Did anyone else got it? It was about time somebody got those two together on TV.

    It was great to see Maradona talking about basketball.

    And it's true that he was a Spurs fan before Manu signed. He mention Duncan and Robinson in his book, written in 2001.

    I liked when he said "Parker dissapeared"

    "dissapeared"

    Be careful. "disappeared" has special historical/political implication in AR.

    huh? what does that has to do with anything?

    Maradona actually said "Se borró" he didn't use the word "desaparecido" as in the political implication term.

    I saw this. It was really great. Finally Manu is really reaching national star status, not only among basketball junkies.

    Between, Diego knows a lot about football, but he shouldn't talk about basketball. If Parker would have taken 10 shots in the 4th quarter, what would he said? "He took too many shots". And this was influenced by the broadcaster, Juan Pablo Varsky...he was very critic with Parker and too friendly with Manu. So all the people that doesn't understand basketball and just started watching the game in this Finals believe that Parker is a bad player...

    Maradona knows about basketball, just because he doesnt agree with you doesnt mean he doesnt know what he's talking about...

    So, when Argentines say Ginobili, do they say Ginobili with a 'G' sound or Ginobili with a 'H' sound like Hinboili?

    Manu deserved the MVP award over Duncan, for being more regular and taking the ball in the final minutes.
    Bull .

    Averaging a double double in points and turnovers is not the same as points and rebounds.

    Without Duncan the Spurs would've been swept.

    Some people need to wake up and for those of you heads that booed when Duncan got the MVP.

    Go yourselves.

    Yikes isn't that a little harsh?
    I thought it was settled that they didn't boo Duncan but Stern.

    * Duncan did deserve his MVP.

    I missed it! Holy ! Diego and Manu!

    I love Ginóbili, but Maradona is only comparable with Jordan. You know, all times best players in their respective sports.

    I can't hate Tony Parker, I've seen him playing since 2003 championship, and I know he can be really good. But, this guy makes me mad sometimes. I'm still remembering that 3 point fault against RIP at the end of the game. Pop almost had a heart attack!

    And yeah, us argentineans can be incredibly anoying sometimes. Deal with it!

    And we call Manu "Shinobili", by the way.

    You are as stupid as it comes Sequ...




    You just cant stand Manu being big for the Spurs in the playoffs or in the finals...you needed to be right about Manu so much and he proved you wrong big time.

    Danyel Son.

    Horry, Bowen, Parker, Barry and Manu were all big for the Spurs, but come on...

    we're talking MVP not being big.

    Manu is not in the same category as Jordan, Shaq, etc. etc...

    Come on.

    Not everyone should agree with you, right?

    Do I think Manu deserved the MVP award? sure.
    Do I think Manu deserved the MVP award over Duncan? nope.

    I was just quoting Maradona...
