**WalterBenitez** · 07-30-2005

FOX SPORTS LA, dedicated a 30 minutes to an interview with Manu (New look girls).

1) He talked about the good thing of being an NBA Player, he mentioned as good thing the organization of the league and being treated as star all the time; in the other hand he said that the schedule is really hard and obeys to keep focus all the time.

2) He was asked if he realized how big consideration is he receiving in ARG he answered obviously yes, "a couple of years ago only people close to the sports recognized me, and nowadays everyone knows me".

3) To a question about how hard is to handle the fame, he said "because of my behavior (or sth like that) I accept that in pretty good way", he pointed out about how important is that public people accepted they are a role model for kids.

4) About his wife Manu said "she is the person that calmed me down" and also mentioned that she’s the person that will be with him no matter of what.

5) About his source of compe iveness the answer was funny he said that he always were in that way, he used to compete with his brothers for the best record in the school, his parents tried to relax him about that; but ... “even nowadays when I go to play basketball with my friends I played pretty calm at the beginning and ... at the end I want to defeat them”

... “some nights people congratulate me because I made 18-20 points but I know I could play better ... ” ... "I am still find areas where to improve as a player or a as person (or sth like that)".

Well, he was also asked about the National cause “his consideration as Finals MVP” but ... guess what?? He wasn’t asked about why Tony Parker didn’t pass the ball

Manu dedicated important words to POP because of his enormous influence on him, and because in the hard times (at the beginning of his first season) POP gave him a chance; and also the meaning of POP's trip to MANULAND

Well people, this all what I remember!

good interview

Manu with new court of hair

Can you post a pick with his new hair. I really wish he hadn't cut it.
As the Spurs fans main source of eye candy, Manu has the responsibility of maintaining a sexy look. Really short hair only makes his nose look bigger.
damn that boy.
