Why I Hate Manu Ginobili

I have decided that over the next few days, as the Jazz vs. Spurs series winds down, I will write a dedicatory blog about my least favorite Spurs player of the day.  Today’s winner? Manu Ginobili!  First of all, I just have to point out that this man is just straight up U-G-L-Y, he ain’t got no alibi, he ugly… dats right, HE UGLY!  I think it should be against the law to put someone with a face that could make a blind man turn his eyes away in disgust and a nose that could get enough drag to sail an aircraft carrier on national TV.  Ok, I’ll admit that Ginobili’s looks have nothing to do with his quality as a player, but it just gives me one more reason not to like the fool.  How else do I validate my utter dislike for this man?  Maybe it’s because of where he hails from…Argentina. 

That’s right, the man is from freakin’ Argentina!  I have experienced my fair share of the Argentine people, having lived in South America for a large portion of my life and having lived with Argentines for the majority of that time.  I know that Argentines think, to sum it up, that they own the planet.  They are very similar to Texas in this respect.  Like Texas, everything is bigger and better in Argentina. It doesn’t matter if it’s barbeque, soccer or women… both Texans and Argentines obviously have egos that match the size of their country/state.  I’ve even heard it said that Argentina is the Texas of South America.  He really is a perfect fit for San Antonio.  Being from Argentina, this man has probably been raised among the ‘futbol’ population.  I think the one thing he learned from his country’s national sport was the art of the flop.  For the life of him, the man CANNOT stay on his feet.  Everyone likes to win, but doesn’t it feel better to win without being the sissy that has to milk the win from the refs?  Maybe he just doesn’t understand that the reason that thousands of fans boo his entrance to the court is not because they hate that he is a “good player,” but because he is the biggest fake in the nation.  I’m anxious to see if he ever leaves San Antonio… who would want him?  If he left, who would cheer for him?  He’d probably lose the only fan base he’s been able to gain, the fan-base of the cancer of the NBA… the Spurs.  Even though you can’t beat them… nobody likes them.

I’ve always been a Jazz fan, but, if the Jazz end up being beat out by the biggest “lloron” in the NBA… I think my loyalties might move to the east coast.  Any enemy of the Spurs is a friend of mine… oh, by the way, Manu!  Next time you go up against Derrick Fisher, grow a pair and play him like a man!

    In regard to the Ginobili I would be wrong to not mention how great of a player he is but if he is as good as most people say why does he need to flop so much. I can recall a certain instance in game 4 where Derek Fisher didn’t even touch the man and he fell down, now not only is that terrible playing it’s worse refing because a foul was called. I’ve seen a lot of bad refed games but I believe that game 4 takes them all. To kick Fisher out for what he did but leave other players in is unreal. I think those refs need to take a 101 on refing and not giving the game away. I’ve never heard an arena of 19,000 people chant ref you suck more than was chanted at energy solutions arena I’ve also never heard one ref (Steve Javey) name being chanted. The east coast, espn, or the entire country may not like the jazz but all I’m asking is to give us a fair shot at winning some games. Just because a player comes flying through the lane completely out of control then falling down because he lost his balance doesn’t mean it’s a foul. Just because tim Duncan misses a shot doesn’t mean it’s a foul. Give the Jazz some credit ESPN we’re in the western conference finals and we deserve to be there! Go JAZZ

  • SPURS’ SHAWTY!

    I take it that not only do you not like the SPURS, you also dislike every single individual on the team? But tell me something, why are you posting this exactly? Is it to get all that frustration off your chest which obviously if you held it any longer you would’ve probably choke yourself into a seizure? Okay, that’s a bad thing to say, so i guess SORRY is in order. I’M A HUGE SPURS FAN… I could say that i’m offended and disgusted, but unfazed..but then i’d be lying and I could say i HATE you as well, but then i’d be lying also. Maybe i should, but your way with words kind of kills some of my emotional discontent with your obvious malicious attitude towards MY TEAM. But i suggest you slow down on the slander, I wouldn’t want you to CHOKE on your words no matter how articulate you are!

    Awsome post. Completly agree, manu sucks ass. He averages like 18 points a game, and subtract the ten he gets from the refs when he falls all over himself and thats like 8 points a game. He’s trash. Spurs=very defensive team, best player is tim duncan aka the big fundamental, their uniforms and black and goddamned white. Everyone hates the spurs cuz they are the most boring team alive. Id rather watch a fuckin WNBA game than watch the spurs pull out a 81-75 win using defense and good free throw shooting.

    Ginobli is a flopper, whiner, dirty player and, you are exactly correct, uglier than a mud fence, even though that has no impact on how much I hate him as a basketball player. I’d like to see someone take him out for the season, along with Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Matt Bonner.
