Maradona now has a talk show. The first show the main guest was Pele, and for the second (last night) it was Manu.
Since I dont live in Argentina and have no cable I couldnt see it, but I'm hoping some of the Argentines here can give us some more details than what I saw in the paper (apparently a lot of talk about the spurs, Duncan, Pop, the finals, etc).
The picture in the paper was hilarious, Manu looks like he is twice Maradona's height!
here is a newspaper link for the intrepid

Cool. Remember when Magic Johnson tried the TV talk show experiment? He got all these top names the first few shows to boost the ratings but it immediately lost al ude and crashed in flames.Maybe Maradona's show will be more compelling and entertaining.
Cool! Can anyone translate the article?

Guillermo Coria a TOP 10 Tennis Player
A question Manu and Maradona are left handed guys, Am I right ... because Maradona is signing with his right hand?
Maradona is basically a god in Argentina. Take MJ (either of them) and multiply by Tiger Woods to come close in the US. His show should be very well supported.Cool. Remember when Magic Johnson tried the TV talk show experiment? He got all these top names the first few shows to boost the ratings but it immediately lost al ude and crashed in flames.
Yes , maradona is Lefty, but write with the right hand, and shots to the basquet with the right too
I knew this man was(is) special, but ... I never heard about that
Cool video! I love the dramatic super-bowl entrance.

He was the 3 in the world, and if he don´t won anything yet is nothing
He played the Masters Cup, the All Star of the Tennis and when he´s compared with Manu is nothing
anyone besides me notice that Manu cut his hair?
Hun, we already acknowledged the hair cut months ago...
I'm behind.
Grande Tiro Roberto is right-handed, but dunks left handed.
Manu as El Cid!! El Campeador!!
Poco Maradona has lost muchos kilos.
Journalists from Ole Sports Newspaper are really stupid. They have changed Manu's quotes in order to make it sound more chauvinistic.
I have to translate what I remeber from yesterday, that's hard, but i'll try:
Maradona: You are the most famous argentine man in the world. You have represented us and succeded in Italy first, then the Olimpics, and now the NBA. Next step is the moon!
Manu: Well, thanks!
(and lots of mutual flattering like that)
Maradona: There's something special about you, you're not only a excellent basketball player.
Manu: Well, I can't tell you "Yeah, there's something special about me" (laughs), but I know that when you get to the place where I am, it goes beyond basketball. Four years ago it was unbelievable for a argentine player to succeed in the NBA. I know that what's happening to me has a special meaning. I'm glad to help to develop argentine basketball and sports in general.
Maradona:
I'm a spurs fan since 1999, before you get there. And I think you have something else. You should have won the MVP, it was stolen from you, you were playing better than Duncan.
Manu:
It would have been great to win the MVP, surely. But the only fact that I have lost for one vote against such a player as Duncan, is more than enough for me. To be there is more than I could ever have asked, with Tim wishpering at my ear "you deserve this as much or even more than I do".
Maradona:
¿What's the Spurs changing room like (meaning the basktage)?:
Manu:
It's great. If there's a world of difference between Argentina and Italy, there are three worlds between Italy and the NBA. There so much money and comfort everywhere. There's always somebody helping you in any way we need. You only have to tie your snickers and play, that's all you have to do. The Spurs have the policy of taking in care the human aspects of the team, equally or even more than the sportive side. Many players accept a lower contract in order to stay in the Spurs, just because of the good "air" arround us.
Maradona: ¿And what about the coaching?
We are much more free than in Italy. You can do whatever you want during the free days. Even your wife can visit you during the concentrations. The first two weeks are really hard. But during the season, the players that play 30 minutes or more, don't have to practice, because we have three or four games per week. So, I only have to do some muscle work, and some shots before the games. It's the ideal for any sportman: you have to play a lot, and very little boring practice. (laughs)
Popovich don't make any difference with us, he can rise his voice to Duncan, to me, or the least important player. We are all the same for him, and this is very inspiring to all of us. Duncan is our leader, but he is the humblest player at the same time. And this is great for the team.
Maradona: ¿What was it like to have Popovich in Bahia?
Manu:
I told him that Bahia wasn't like Manhattan (laughs). But he wanted to know my backgrounds, my neighbourhood, the court where I used to play as a kid. It was great. He was amaze with the country, he liked Argentina a lot, specially our wines. (laughs)
Maradona: ¿How do you see the spurs for the next season?
Manu: Very well. Everybody knows how hard is to win one ring, but to repeat the championship is twice harder. Every team is looking at the champion, and they are getting stronger too. But we are as good or even better than the last year. Besides, now we have Oberto with us, and he will make us stronger.
At the end both players signed each other their argentine jerseys, and then made a couple of shots. Maradona made 11 attemps, just to score one. Manu did only one attemp, while he was walking away, with one hand, and made it.
That's all I remember, if any other argentine wants to improve it, or remeber something else, please, be muy guest.
Cheers
This time don't blame it on google, blame it on my english teachers!
