Manu responds to the forum - February. by Manu/28-02-06 Fabri´s girls: We found out a player of the NBA that was going away to dive this weekend of the ASG (Game of Stars). Your contract with NBA does not prohibit you to make risky activities like diving, making paracaisdísmo, to walk in moto, etc.? Manu: If it does not pass anything to you or nobody finds out, it does not pass anything... If it passes the one of Radmanovic, there he is more complicated. The subject is that if passes something to you, they have a good excuse for cortarte. Ivan: Jugás to lotería/quiniela in San Antonio? Manu: No, never I did it. Mdemian23: When they play in SAS, Many goes to the stage, watches it after tele or makes any other thing (if she is this, that does generally)?

Still they continue playing deletrar words? How it is that game that makes Pop? Fabri won sometimes? Manu: Difficult to say as he was the worse one, is not happened to me. Of the best ones: Sixth Capital Sense, Sins, Shawshank Redemption and of some I am forgetting safe. I do not believe that we have played to spell words sometimes... or at least not it memory! Not to that you referis. FacuX: What all we want to know: What crossed you by the head when Kobe put that terrible codazo to you, Did not leave to you the Argentinean who all we have inside, and you wanted to kill it there just? Manu: The pain! He was the unique thing that thought. Pense that was broken ¨la to me naricita¨! But at the nonpense moment that had been to intention, single it wanted to stop the hemorrhage to return to play and to try to gain the party. That nonserious of Argentinean, but of immature and little professional, asi that at no moment crossed me by the head. Capu1422: How it fisicamente dresses it to Ely, Creés that can be adapatar fast to the type of Pop game that demands its players to him, What is of the life of Jackie Buttler? Manu: It is very difficult to arrive at an equipment after 50 parties and to adapt quickly, coverall to our system! It is going to take a good time to him to enter rate and to understand as we played. Jackie trains, but it either does not have so far many possibilities of playing, are many internal ones in the equipment. Maxi_20: Who it is "more fiestero" of the equipment, the one that màs likes to take some "you cotoot" of màs, In the free short whiles they are not joined outside of which it is Spurs, to do something? Manu: Maxi, I am not to command to the front to my companions! Normally many we joined ourselves to eat when we are of tour or sometimes to go to the cinema. Maxi_20: You follow it River when podés? Manu: No, I do not follow soccer in general. Maxi_20: The program that you see more in your house in the free short whiles? Manu: Shows that I see is: Heroes, Prison Break, 24 and Lost. The last year also watches Bones. Maxi_20: What music escuchás? Manu: I listen to much national music: Bersuit, Diego Towers, Street guides, Fabulous, etc. Fannumerouno: Podés to eat everything what you like, although some delights are not so healthful, or tenés that to restrict a little the food consumption certain, like cakes, candies, chocolates, etc, There is in San Antonio some Argentine bakery? Manu: No, there are no Argentine bakeries. On the other hand, I can eat what I want... is no ningun type of restriction, mainly with me that I am, next to Brushes, of skinniest of the equipment. Mmp: Which considerás that was your better play in the NBA? Manu: In regular season, possibly this one. Playoffs as those of 05' are difficult to repeat. Jalberto: You went to see in the U.S.A. some live play or spectacle (nonsport), that you have liked? Manu: I went to see several: Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Flow, Shakira, Beyonce, Cirque du Soleil and Alicia Keys in San Antonio, whereas in NY I went to see The Producers Broadway. Jalberto: In what matter reconocés to have some cultural pocket and in which you feel more strong one to you and informed? Manu: I very little have clear in subjects Psicologi'a type, Sociology and the arts in general (painting, music, classic Literature, etc). I feel strong in some subjects of history, geography and things of geometry and mathematics in general (it was what more I liked and it is at least of which I read at the moment). Clariss: Which was the worse book than you read? Manu: Some that surely does not finish reading... I have read books boring, but nonbad. Clariss: There is some food of the USA that is habitual there, but you acostumbrás to the flavor and does not make sick to you? Manu: The sharp thing! Here much eats and I asi cannot accustom me... who always I must walk explaining the young men who I do not want sauces nor anything " y". Clariss: Sometimes you remained slept in the cinema? Worse still... With Many alongside? Manu: Yes, but not with Many. It passed of boy watching a "Shark" (not as) and in the fuí Rioja because to trasnoche to see "HEAT", was cansadísimo and it seemed to me eternal, asi that palme. Manudona: What pensás of the return of Pippen, How you see it in San Antonio, They chatted of that? Manu: No, it did not leave anything here the Pippen subject, not to where it will end up going. I do not believe that in the equipment there is much place, but never it is known Anxious Monkey: You liked east ASG? Of all those that dress, Which was the one that you liked more (aside from that vos you played)? Manu: The truth is that normally I do not see the ASG because I am of trip by some side, so I am not going to be put in the hotel watching the party. Fana: Concordás with the phrase, "gambles as is lived", Conocés players who are outside the field completely different from as they are inside, or is the minuses? (somebody explosive in the field and that privately is too calm, or which in the field is compe ive and outside it is not it, etc.) Manu: I believe that all the people or great mayoria, transfer its character to the field... I believe that it is normal, asi like a the work. One reacts of the way that feels it. Fana: You are in agreement with which the equipment has psychological support so that the players can have a space to fight with the pressure of the game, coach, the companions, the representatives and the publicity, the family, fans, the temptations or creés that that is too private and that it has to leave each player having or therapeutic nonattendance? Manu: I believe in the psicologico support, I believe that never it comes bad, although really never I made therapy. Jastral: Where they are the prettiest women? Manu: Who knows it! That the Serbs are very pretty, but by commentaries, because I was single a pair of days by... in the ex--USSR also and nor speaking there of ours. But it is difficult to say here estan the best ones. Experience is necessary to have muuuuuuuuucha to be able to affirm it, and I do not have it! Baru: The subject is the arbritos: With which tenés better treatment and which the worse one, Prune to discuss with them by a play of normal way? Without giving names, tenés in account things as "this always it receives such-and-such play to me" or "with this not can act much because is not created it", Which is the main difference between those of NBA and FIBA? Manu: With time I learned to treat far better to the arbitros and today I can maintain a dialogue on different plays. Aca is more accessible to talk than in the rest of the world, also you go conociendolos and you know with that to speak, with who no, like saying the things, etc. The greater difference as I said to you is the dialogue and later the preparation... sees more video than the trainers, I create! Laburan really much. Kobefly: If it is possible to be counted, I would like to know that car tenés or to be more than one which is the one that you like more. Manu: I have a light truck INFINITI and a AUDI A6. They are very different, them use depending to where I go or so that I need it. Sapin: If you did not play in the Spurs, in which another equipment you would like to play? (by things like the system which they use of game, by certain companions, coach, etc, without concerning the city where you are going to live). Other times this question was made you and always you are responsible it for the side on which you would like to never live in warm cities like Miami and in Minessota, for example, mine aims at the accomplishment like player (as if you needed something) but within the field. Manu: I create to be able to adapt me to any style of game, asi that I do not have preferences... for that reason always I orient myself by the side of the cities. The only thing that makes me feel made as player is to win, does not interest to me to be mouse head... Annya: How he is Pepe Sanchez? How it is his personality? How it is your relation with him? Manu: I believe that sandals much with that question. It is not easy to describe to a person or her personality in 3 lines, but I will deal with adjectives. Laburador, thinking, very calm outside the field but inside leaves the chain and so many other things to him. I have very good relation with him, we know ourselves from the 13 years, and also our women know much and they take very well. Santi2006: What opinás of Carlos Delfino, Creés that is your natural reemplazante in the selection? Manu: Without doubts that are my natural reemplazante in the selection, but also I believe that we complemented Barbarian when we played together. Carlos is a great player, with much potential and who is going to be growing little by little as they confien more in. Chasky: Duncan and the Parkers very are become fond of to the poker, according to say. They have invited to you to play, With whom they play? And if they invited to you sometimes and if it is possible to be said, how it were to you? Manu: Yes, a pair of times has invited me but by different reasons I could not go. I only played against them a pair of championships that we did with the PSP. Of the parties that we played, it was to me enough good, considering that I have less experience than they. Gut: It is truth that McGrady and Kobe asked to you in ASG 2005 how became the attack whip, Podés to say to us the amateur to us how is made? Manu: No, they did not ask to me like became, they made it and ready. Now no longer I do more. There is a pair of specialists in the forum who are going to know how to you to explain, now I have many questions to respond. Gut: To what player of another equipment you would like to have in yours, You llevás well with other players of other equipment (removing to the other Argentineans), Which creés was the best one upset than you did? Manu: No, until death with my equipment, but I admire to Nash and I would someday like to play with. Normally I am not very friend of the rivals, it never interested to me to go to greet them nor to do the likeable one to me... except for rare occasions, or because we have friends in common. Better upset: 2do year against Cleveland, in Phoenix by means the day of the 48, and in the con the Lakers, I suppose that they will know as they are. podesta: We finished reading a milk note very bad in against yours in InfoBAE, as that newspaper is mercenario of the turn power finishes to me happening the following question. Tenés devises who wrote the note, pensás that is for generating scandal, for forzarte to play the preOlympic one, or perhaps it happens of accounts through haberte denied to support or to appear with some politician. Manu: No, I do not have idea who wrote it, but is lamentable! Without no type of foundation. I do not have idea why they wrote it, nor believe that they are going to manage nothing by it to have done. Papelón. Annya: You would like to renew the contract with the Spurs or you would like to play in another equipment, What expectations tenés for the preOlympic ones? Manu: It would enchant to be able to finish my race to me in SA having gained some anillito more. The only expectation is that we classify, with or without my, but to be in China. Queen victory: To what she must as much disparity of minutes played between parties, What criterion uses the DT for hacerte to start of ling or subs ute? Manu: The truth that I do not notice much disparity, always game between 25 and 32 minutes, I create. Unless it is a very easy party or or that they gamble additional. At the present time there is no criterion, I am subs ute because the technician thinks that the equipment plays and is better this way... that way more ahead changes it by strategic decisions. Mmp: You spoke something with Pop on playing the preOlympic one, Vos already you made the decision? Manu: Yes, it speaks with Pop and we continued speaking. Still there is no a taken decision. Ilecita: How hacés, if it is possible, so that it does not affect to you that "nabo" is always some that thinks some pavada from the place of wise people who we are created all... sometimes affected to you plus some noncertain thing that it was said of vos. And with respect to the media, it happened to you sometimes that they say to some lie that hurt to you, It is possible that those things do not affect to you, It is difficult no, You must something to him to InfoBAE... that the other day killed to you in a note? Manu: Normally it does not affect to me, but when I am a little ¨susceptible¨ aislo and I let to me read, I believe that he is the best thing in my case. Asi that when I see that they begin to say things that do not have sense, I do not read more. Sometimes a little affected things to me that said, but the good thing is that I become aware clean either or or and the people who know me and my teammates know the truth. If it says somebody to it that vos you respect and its opinion matters to you, it would try to clarify it and to know why it said it... but I ignore it, since but it would give him to eat. * Beliu*#20: Conocés Bariloche. If it is that sometimes you came I ask to you: When, You liked, When you are going to return? Yes, I know Bariloche, was in 98´ by one week, like much... enchants all the zone to me, along with Villa L.A, San Martin, Handbag, etc etc. To Villa the Narrowness ire soon, but is difficult to know when. Triplerazzo: What other can os has the fan of the Spurs in addition to classic "the Defense" or "Go Spurs Go", There is some fan of an equipment in the NBA that sing original can os like those of the Argentine fans, It does not give laughter you when you enfrentás to the Grizzlies and is a player with the Gay word in his t-shirt? Manu: In the NBA the can os do not exist, and I believe that in the USA in general... the sport is a spectacle in which normally people are watching. There was a "OLE OLE MANU MANU in the beginning" but later they left it. In Italy it also played against a ¨GAY¨, I am accustomed! Valerya: So strict what are the controls anti-do'ping in the NBA. Manu: 4 controls surprise per year, that already are more than those than had done in all my race before arriving here. In Europe never it had touched to me. TonyCba: It would please me that you talked about to your debut in the NBA. Before the party you were anxious, nervous, trusted. During the party, you got to analyze the wonderful party that you were doing. Soon of the party (up to 24 hours later) how you felt, It surprised your performance to you? Manu: A little nervous was, coverall before... once it began already I tranquilized myself. I realized that had played or, and it made me feel very or that Pop congratulated to me after the game. 24hs later was playing in Golden State and patié, asi that I did not have long time to enjoy it. Crisaor: You had (or tenés) some ídolo basketbolístico aside from MJ and your brothers? Seeing the party against the Hawks, in a situation thus, you are conscious (not necessarily pending) of your boxscore while lasts the party, You feel some special impulse to surpass your previous records when tenés the opportunity, or is something that if it occurs well, and if no, does not pass anything? I know that you like much the game of Nash, seem to you reasonable the objections that there are on the pertinencia of its 2 MVPs? Manu: No, MJ was ídolo sport... despues admires to many, but to no like a. Against the Hawks I realized that was playing well and that salian all to me, but it did not have idea of the points that took, recien when they removed I saw to me in the board that habia done 24. I do not believe in the record! Diria is... you more than practicamente I am ANTI-RECORDS, in fact it of the sort bothers when the players try to force a triple double, carreer high or things to me. The first year of MVP of Nash, was clear deserving. The one of the last year could have gone to anyone of the 5 best ones of the year. Any: Which was the gift that gave Many you. And, sabés who and why put Emanuel to you David? Manu: Personal things, normally I do not like to tell, but she does not have anything to do with which you thought. They put EMANUEL because my mother was reading the bible looking for names, and DAVID to me by my great-grandfather. Sweetpea_20: What have been the most difficult and fullfilling parts of this basketball season for you? Manu: It´s to been difficult see Dallas get under Officers' Club of Revolutionary Armed Forces away from U.S.... but is great to see the team working hard to together to improve and forget about what happened. Sweetpea_20: Rasho and the Raptors eats here soon! Your thoughts on the reunion with Rasho, his new team, and the game? Manu: Just came back from to dinner with Rasho, is always great to see him, we miss him. Sweetpea_20: Where did your pale Hedo learn to throw alley-OOP passes like that one when you guys were in Trimming? Dwells importantly, what sweet revenge plows you for Spurs plotting the rematch? Manu: Hedo is to great overall to player, there am dog do lots of stuff very well. Sweetpea_20: Yoúve said you like "Prison break". I love it too! How did you become to fan of the show? Manu: I think that TD told me to start watching it, or probably TONY, not sure... it´s great under Officers' Club of Revolutionary Armed Forces. Carina_ginomania: You were close to Rasho and Is Marks before. Do you still get in touch with them? And who among the Spurs plows you closest to now? For you, who is the funniest guy on the team? For Do you think yoúll play the National for Team the 2008 Olympics? Manu: Is keep in touch with both, we talk often. I´m very close with Fabricio, of course, we know each to other very well. I think that the funniest guy in the team is Brent, he´s nuts. I´d love to play in the next Olympics, Time will tell. Shenobilly: Did you adapt yourself to the USÁs customs? If you had to move to to another pleases in the the USA, what state would you pick to live and what City? Manu: Yes, I adapted pretty quick, to never had problems. If I had to move Flowery I´d probably chose, the closest to Argentina, not state tax, nice to weather, lots of Latin people and sunny beach... what else for dog I ask? Miami or close would be the first choice. Pablobualo: Which are the prettiest cities of the world to know (like city, not by the landscape and that) that you would recommend? Manu: Perhaps Rome, Venice, New York, Buenos Aires, Athens, Tokyo, Istambul are but pretty of that I know, not all by beauty, but by peculiar, but if it did not know any and it had to go to a place, elegiria to make Rome and Venice, and to be to me in Italy knowing Capri, Sardinia and others. manu
