Congrats, especially to Spurs Manu Ginobili and (hopefully) Luis Scola.
thanks the game here in az is about to come :tyson
usa game just got over
If there were an award for the MVP of the tournament, it would go to Ginobili...
I agree with Whott's comment on that other thread:
Congratulations Manu!!!that settles the argument that Parker and Ginobili for TMac was ridiculous.... No way a team led by Ginobili loses 19 in a row.
P.S. are the silver jerseys only available at the SBC center... I can't find them online anywhere.
This is just unbelievable, too much...2 gold medals on the same day on the two most popular sports in the country.
Manu = God = Maradona
I was watching thinking Manu's impact on the bball court for his country was on par with some of the Brazilian greats. Not a big reach.
Congrats to Manu, the Argentinean basketball and soccer teams and the country.
Good job, Manu/Scola.
Montecchia (sp?) had some key shots to put this one away.
Congrats to Gabriele Heinz for winning the gold medal.
Manu is a worldwide star...he's played everywhere and everyone knows what a great player he is.
congrats to all those in argentina and to the players that brought home gold for argentina.
to those that wanted to trade manu.
crack kills.
I don't know where you take your soccer knowledge from but Gabriel Heinze is just a very good defender.Congrats to Gabriele Heinz for winning the gold medal.
Tevez was the star of the team scoring 8 goals and leading the tournament in scoring.
Is it too much of a reach for Pop to ease back on the leash he currently has on Ginobili's style?
Is it too much of a reach to think Ginobili could be on the all-star team next year?
I mention Gabriel Heinz, because he plays for my favorite soccer team, Manchester United. And yes, I realize that he's a defender. Valued at 6.9 million pounds.
:next3
If Pop lengthens the leash on Manu...he is an allstar.
wonder what spurs could trade manu for right now ?
not that I would trade him
If anyone is interested, I recorded the game. Each half is about 500 megs, VCR quality mpeg files.
Forget lengthening it, he needs to take it off altogether.
The fourth quarters should be Manu time in SA.
Adidas... it's HeinzE
would pop ever take it off completely though?
Thank you for the correction, Fizzar.
Olympic soccer doesn't mean compared to World Cup soccer. And Argentina hasn't won in anything major in 11 years and their fans are getting pissed, tho they do have a promising player.
While basketball is popular in Argentina it simply doesn't come close to football. Manu isn't even close to the most popular athelete in argentina, probably not even top 10, all football players. Maradonna is a fat coked out toad and everyone still treats him like a god.
He was real close to making it this year...you guys in Argentina need to get better net access so you can vote for him...that's what decides it...hopefully he'll get more votes overseas after his performance...it's a given that Kobe is going to be in the All Star Game...but Manu should push anyone else in the NBA for that other spot because of his versatility.
As for Pop cutting the leash on him...he started doing it more this year...I think he's going to do it more and more as time goes by...
I think the reason Manu was moved to the bench this year was so we could run the ball through him some when Duncan was out of the game.
This season, I think we are going to run and be wide open a lot more.....Manu and Barry are going to be awesome together...they both like to run, they are both big guards that can pass, rebound and cut to the basket...If Manu learns to shoot 3's like Barry does...Spurs will roll over everyone this season.
If Manu becomes consistent from outside and parker continues to mature....
I feel sorry for the rest of the league.
Especially when Spurs defense is played.
Adidas, I guess its an odd thing for us Argentines to hear someone give props to a defensive player of a soccer team that just one the Gold. Heinze is a great player, don't get me wrong, but 75% of the players in that team play in Europe. Tevez and D'Alessandro were the real playmakers and are probbaly worth north of $15MM each.I mention Gabriel Heinz, because he plays for my favorite soccer team, Manchester United. And yes, I realize that he's a defender. Valued at 6.9 million pounds.
I only think that's a small part of it... Manu's jump shot is streaky at best...If Manu becomes consistent from outside
The role he embraces well and the one he needs to continue to provide is as the team's slasher, cutter. Plus he brings all the other intangibles that passionate players like him are capable of donning.
