Real talk, why is two time all-star manu more beloved than 7 time all star tony..

[kuato]

Actually Manu does have some "Hispanic" blood. He said years ago on his website that his heritage is 75% Italian(marchesan) and 25% Spanish (galician). Case closed on whether he's Hispanic or not.


The reason manu is more liked than Tony and Tim ever were is because he's not a to his fans. Players build reputations when they're out in public and interact with NBA fans. I personally seen Tony with his mom and brother shopping at petsmart and suddenly getting approached by two white teenage girls. Tony just ignored them and had his brother to tell them to off. I also had a friend who worked at quiznos where Tim was a regular there, and he said Tim would just ignore autograph and selfie requests from fans. He wouldn't even acknowledge his fans.

Manu is known for being super nice and approachable! As is Dirk, Nash, Malik Rose, Sean Elliott, etc.

Players that are known assholes to fans: rasheed wallace, iverson, Duncan, Parker, Danny Green, Kareem, etc

There's a re

He is hispanic, his culture is hispanic. Almost everybody in Argentina have italian and spanish ancestry.

Some people are more likeable.

Some people watch basketball to be entertained.

Manu wins in both categories.

The end.

Ask Eva, tbh.

I personally don't give a but...

If we can be serious a moment, there is absolutely no proof nor confirmation by anybody that he PHYSICALLY cheated on her. (If it's just sexting it's not cheating imo)

From what I understand she just found intimate texting that's it.

IMO Tony is gay anyway...

My point is, this is all media/PR BS and everybody is jumping on it like judgemental idiots for years (mainly on this forum) without really knowing anything.

I've always been partial to two-way players who put in the effort on both ends and weren't all about stats. Duncan, Ginobili and Kawhi fit that mold. Parker never did. Also, Ginobili's game was far more exciting to watch than Parker whether it was scoring or play-making.

bro, watch out, Tony is the most protected player in this site, tbh...

He is extremely entertaining to watch. One of the best ever in that regard. On Pistol Pete levels, probably.

I'd argue that Bonner is the most protected player in Spurstalk history, though.

[Pocho La Pantera]

Who gives a about all Star appearances anyway?

You are probably one of the more racist posters on this site tbh...

This is such a dumb thread.

It comes down to entertainment. It's perfectly arguable which one had more of an impact on the Spurs they both played their parts.

Manu could shoot the 3 and dunk. End of story. Parker is only layups and elbow jumpers. One of those styles of play is more entertaining than the other.
