ESPN.com: Spurs talking S&T with Portland, Rasho for Abdur-Rahim

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

So what? This is the NBA not the NCAA.

Exactly, so quit doubting the guy and let him show what the he has. If the Spurs in general had your mindset, Manu would be playing for the Blazers or Magic.

trust me, scouts look at players who are being called "the best so and so position in europe"

every year more and more foreign players are being drafted and eventually they will outnumber the amount of american players in the draft.

reason for that is because Foreign players are taught "the fundamentals" by their coaches before they even are allowed near an AND 1 Video' and by the way that AND 1 stuff is crap heck I can do the same type of crossover in one move where it takes them like 3 or 4 to get pass a defender; and a basic crossover takes less energy from you

look at manu he doesnt use that many crazy cross overs; he uses the basics like behind the back, etc

[Marcus Bryant]

That's great. We know what SAR can do in the league. , Duncan's had knee trouble and he's 29.

Duncan had a knee injury.

SAR has bad knees.

There's a difference.

You know what, lets trade Horry for McDyess.

Ha. Manu is so ing unorthodox at times. If he was black everyone would be tut-tutting about how "American" players just don't have any respect for the game's fundamentals.

Spare me.

[Marcus Bryant]

You know what, stop getting an erection over "the best PF in Europe" just because the Spurs have his rights.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

As opposed to jerking off to "gimpy knees" just because there's a rumor we might trade for him.

SO YOU THINK BOGUT WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THE NBA THAN SCOLA WILL
I WILL LET YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW DOESNT MATTER WHAT RULES YOU USE OR WHAT COURT YOU PLAY ON, SCOLA WOULD KICK BOGUT'S ASS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK

[Marcus Bryant]

He's a proven player in this league, dumb and his knees have as much uncertainty as TD's.

Go post some pics of the latest Taco Cabana.

Wait, isn't Duncan black... wait, isn't he called...

Maybe Manu should pretend he's black like you used to and he'd get more respect.

[ducks]

Explain Manu's success in the NBA?

Nocioni's success.

And Delfino's fan pub.

MANU'S SUCCESS IS BECAUSE HE HAS TALENT


THOSE PLAYERS YOU LISTED HAVE MORE TALENT THEN SCOLA
AND MANU'S D IS BETTER THEN SCOLA'S D

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

He's a proven player in this league, dumb and his knees have as much uncertainty as TD's.

He's a proven loser. Good for him. He's never been on a team over .500, and he's never done but score.

Yeah, that's proven. At every YMCA and black top in America.

[Marcus Bryant]

I've never pretended to be black or an urban planning professional, for that matter.

[ducks]

So what? This is the NBA not the NCAA.

I WILL LET YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW DOESNT MATTER WHAT RULES YOU USE OR WHAT COURT YOU PLAY ON, SCOLA WOULD KICK BOGUT'S ASS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK

REALLY YOU WANT TO BET ON THAT

SCOLA WOULD NOT BE A NUMBER ON DRAFT PICK THIS YEAR

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

MANU'S SUCCESS IS BECAUSE HE HAS TALENT


THOSE PLAYERS YOU LISTED HAVE MORE TALENT THEN SCOLA
AND MANU'S D IS BETTER THEN SCOLA'S D

Nocioni and Delfino have more talent than Scola?

Then why the was he the second best player at both the World game and the Olympics?

[Marcus Bryant]

He's a proven loser. Good for him. He's never been on a team over .500, and he's never done but score.

Yeah, that's proven. At every YMCA and black top in America.

That's right, if a player is on a team that doesn't make the playoffs that means he sucks too.

Great ing logic.

[ace3g]

MARCUS YES MANU IS UNORTHODOX AT TIMES BUT HE DOESNT TRY ANY TYPES OF AND 1 CROSSOVERS , and when he is unorthodox it is when he is driving to lane, that is why they call him unorthodox mostly because he is left handed and nba defenders are not use to that

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

I've never pretended to be black or an urban planning professional, for that matter.

Funny, neither have I.

But yes, YOU did pretend to be black Spursfan.

[ducks]

WHAT HAS SCOLA PROVED WITHOUT MANU
WHAT HAS SCOLA PROVED IN THE NBA

[whottt]

This best PF in Europe argument is stupid...

Who was the MVP in Europe this season? IE the best player?

If Duncan can suck in the Olympics...Scola can definitely suck in the NBA...and once he does...the Spurs will get nothing for him...

Nah, he just tries passes that no one expects and behind the back reverse prayer layups in clutch playoff situations. His game is as "And 1" as any "American" player...

[ducks]

That's right, if a player is on a team that doesn't make the playoffs that means he sucks too.

Great ing logic.

BY USING THEIR LOGIC LEBRON JAMES SUCKS ASS

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

No, but you claimed he was a proven player.

He doesn't play defense, he's a scorer.

He has bad knees and has never been on a team above .500.

If he were the guy getting 5 minutes a game, then he's excused.

Bu5 he's geting 35 minutes plus and still can't get a team to play above .500

[Marcus Bryant]

Funny, neither have I.

That's right, you're just a retail development (and NSYNC) groupie

But yes, YOU did pretend to be black Spursfan.

When? Other than having an avatar with the face of Mark Bryant when have I (if that is what you consider pretending to be black)?

WTF? Are you really this stupid?

[whottt]

He's still more proven than Scola...
