Simply Manu
In this post I wanted to talk about this amazing player, Manu Ginobili. This is a guy that won a gold medal in the Olympics, ended up second (that game was robbed!!!) in the World Cup and won and NBA title. That’s what most people know, but that’s not it. This guy was also MVP in Europe, and many other things.
His style isn’t the most orthodox. I have to say that sometimes it seems like he’s just going break a leg or fall before taking two steps. But besides that, he’s a player that can penetrate, shoot, defend, and the most important one, he is not afraid of anybody. Just like all the players, he has his good and bad days. But no matter how bad he’s playing, he’ll still run until he’s out of breath. Now, that’s a team player.
Ok, I admit it, I’m Argentine, but that’s not the main reason why I’m writing this. I just think that Ginobili is an amazing player, period.
In the finals this year, Tim Duncan had to be the MVP. He’s simply the best of the team. He was, is and will be the spine of the Spurs; but without Manu, no ring for Tim. I don’t want to make this too long or start going into details of his statistics, so I’m just going to cut and paste some that you can find in http://www.nba.com/

I love the way that you think. How long have you been in the U.S.? You said you're Argentine, but your English is great!
