Quick machine translation...this one is really spotty. But it seems as though Manu is taking some of the "Church of Manu" to task...asking them "what's the big deal about being a starter?"
Manu surfed the Internet and replied to the thread on his personal website the day before yesterday. Can somebody translate it?
http://manuginobili.com/forum/viewto...hlight=#331693
That's what he said:
Tomo esto como el ANEXO de las "preguntas al 20". De hecho no se por que no las agregaste si querias saber...
1.- Cuando se dice que Pop y Manu están de acuerdo ¿se sugiere que ambos están en igualdad de condiciones para decidir? ¿Será que Manu y PoP "discutieron el tema"?(yo lo que leí es que "Manu acepta la decisión" , lo que no es lo mismo que "estar de acuerdo", creo yo).
Si, estabamos juntos hablando del tema y si yo no hubiera aceptado, hubiera sido ular. Le dije que hiciera lo que creyera que era mejor para el equipo.
2.-¿ Será que la ambición de Manu es terminar su carrera en la NBA como suplente ? ¿En serio?
Pensas que realmente influye despues de ganar 3 anillos, un J.O y las otras cosas que me pasaron, si termino jugando de ular o de suplente?? Cual es la ventaja de ser ular?? estar en la presentacion y que te nombren con lucecitas y un anunciante gritando tu nombre?
3.- Porque también leí que prefiere ser ular... eso no es estar de acuerdo. And...¿qué es lo que tiene que hacer para plir ese deseo?¿Jugar bien o jugar como Finley?
No recuerdo haberlo dicho, pero no tengo problemas en ser ular... creo que en un equipo hay que resignar a veces cosas para el bien comun. A todos le pasa, como alguien lo dijo arriba. Pensas que a Barry le gusta jugar 9'? a Tim tirar menos que Tony y que yo? etc?
4.- ¿No será humano y habrá pensado alguna vez en el hall de la Fama? ¿Hay algún otro 6o. hombre por allí?
No tiene nada, absolutamente NADA que ver el hall of fame con ser ular o suplente... repito: Cual es la diferencia?? si juego 30'/32' de todas maneras. Te gustaba mas cuando entraba de ular y despues de 6' a veces sin tocarla me sentaba de nuevo? Todo para mantener a 2 de nosotros 3 en cancha el mayor tiempo posible?
5.- Si Pop ama el modelo SAS donde todos se sacrifican por el bien común ¿no está siendo injusto con Tim y Tony privándolos de ese inapreciable aprendizaje de ascetismo guevariano? ( a cortar caña vamos todos pero todos ¿eh? )
Esto no le veo sentido. No quiere ser que TODOS tengan que ser suplentes para que el equipo sea mejor. Creo que soy el que mas me adapto a ese rol por mis caracteristicas. De esta manera somos mas peligrosos y estamos mas frescos por mayor cantidad de tiempo.
Perdón si son muchas dudas...Con algunas respuestas me arreglo...
La cuaracha-
Fueron mis respuestas a TODAS tus preguntas. Ojo! Van sin ser agresivo, eh! explico mi punto de vista, el del equipo para que les quede claro a los que siguen sacando el tema. Lo pueden seguir haciendo como seguramente lo haran (idem tema Tony), pero ya saben mi opinion.
Manu
pd: Si alguien sabe de algun beneficio extra de ser ular, en serio que me avise! por ahi me estoy perdiendo algo y hablo al dope! Por ahi me lo estoy perdiendo sin darme cuenta!
Quick machine translation...this one is really spotty. But it seems as though Manu is taking some of the "Church of Manu" to task...asking them "what's the big deal about being a starter?"
I take this as the ANNEX of the "questions to the 20". In fact not itself because did not you add them if querias to know...
1.- When it is said that Pop and Manu agree ¿is suggested that both are on equal terms to decide? It will be that Manu and Pop "they discussed the theme"? (I what read is that "Manu accepts the decision", what is not the same thing that "to agree", I believe I).
If, we were together speaking of the theme and if I not to have accepted, to have been a holder. I told him that did what to believe that was better for the team.
2. -¿ Will Be that the ambition of Manu is to finish its career in the NBA as the subs ute? In serious?
You think that really influences despues to win 3 rings, a J.OR and the other things that passed me, if I finish playing of holder or of subs ute?? Which is the advantage to be holder?? to be in the presentacion and that name you with fairy-lights and an advertiser shouting your name?
3.- Because also I read that prefers to be a holder... that is not to agree. And. ..¿qué is what has to do to comply that desire? ¿to Play well or to play as Finley?
I do not remember to have said, but do not I have problems in being a holder... I believe that in a team one must resign at times things for common good. To all passes him, like someone told him up. You think that to Barry he likes to play 9'? to Tim to throw less than Tony and that I? etc?
4.- ¿Not human Being and there will be thought some time in the foyer of the Fame? There is some another 6o. man by there?
Does not it have anything, absolutely NOTHING that to see the foyer of fame with being a holder or acting... I repeat: Which is the difference?? if I play 30'/32' of all ways. You liked but when entered of holder and despues of 6' at times without touching it sat down me again? All to maintain to 2 of us 3 in court the major possible time?
5.- If Pop it loves the model BE where all they are sacrificed for common good ¿is not being unjust with Tim and Tony depriving them of that imperceptible learning of asceticism guevariano? (To cut cane we go all but all ¿eh?)
This do not I see him sense. Does not want to be that ALL they have that to be subs utes so that the team be better. I believe that I am the one that but I adapt to that role by my caracteristicas. In this manner we are but dangerous and we are but fresh wholesale quan y of time.
Pardon if are many doubts. ..Con some answers I arrange me... The cuaracha-
They were my answers to ALL your questions. Eye! They go without being aggressive, eh! I explain my point of view, that of the team so that remain clearly to the ones that they continue removing the theme. They can continue it doing as surely it haran (idem fear Tony), but already they know my opinion.
Manu
Pd: If someone knows about algun benefit extra to be a holder, in serious that he notify me! by ahi I am losing me something and I speak upon drugging! By ahi I am losing him me without giving me account!
The "Foyer of Fame".
Manu got really pissed off with one of the posters asking him about being a sub,and how that would impact in his HOF induction.
He responsed:It has absolutely nothing to do the HOF with Being a Sub or a starter,coze at the end of the day I end up playing 30/32 mpg anyways.
Did you like it when I used to start the games and them go to the bench after 6 mins in the game and most of the times without touching the ball??
I think Manu said Tony was better than he was.
poor manu has to explain over and over again that he doesnt care about being a starter. , thats probably the best reason for him to start, so he doesnt have to answer this stupid question
Some corrections
not to nitpick, but can anyone please provide a more understandable translation?thanks
I'll translate the 1), I think Manu's answer it's the most revealing:
-When it's said that Pop and Manu agreed (on playing Manu of the bench), it is being suggested that both had an equal say on this matter? Did Manu and Pop really discussed the subject, or Manu just accepted the decision?
MANU:
Yes, we were talking about this, and If I hadn't been on board, I would have gone back to starting. I told him he should make the call he considered was best for the team.
What's interesting for me, it's that this time Pop really run the subject thru Manu...
A couple of years ago, he would have just EXPLAINED the decision to him...
I used to complain Pop didn't give enough respect to Manu, considering the personal sacrifices he does all the time for the team, but as years passed by, Pop evidentely has also perceived all these things and somehow it's saying to Manu: You have done so much, you have earned a say in this...
I like it, in may ways I think Pop has grow a lot as a coach in the last two years... I remember he used to mess a game with wrong subs utions every other week, he is not doing that anymore...
Manu gets more opportunity to contribute when he plays without Tony and Tim any way- we all know that.
Manu is complaining about his bald spot.
Summarizing ... Manu is really upset about answering the same question asked in different ways ...
Do you (Manu) care about being sub and not starting? ...
He answered in many ways ... don't care if that benefit the team ... If he has to chose, he would like to be starter, but ... he hasn't see any advantage or difference.
A smart Manu's answer is ...Do you think TD is happy shooting less than TP and me...he understand what team means.
This set of questions also proves Manu has patience.
Being on the bench allows him to extend the treatment period!
I heard he would demand that starters must shave their head, only to keep Manu's confidence high
i think i fried a few brain cells reading the raw translation.
i remember watching an interview about Manu's move to the bench. Pop's version was that he explained things to Manu and how it would benefit the team. Manu's version was that there was alot of shouting by Pop and Manu just said, "Okay". but we all know by now about the team's propensity to joke alot. those HEB commercials are a testament to that. speaking of which, does tony have one?
*nodding* and for that, i love tim duncan.A smart Manu's answer is ...Do you think TD is happy shooting less than TP and me...
It's awesome to have the chance to speak with Manu in his forum, when he posts from time to time I really feel that it's unique to be able to have contact with a top sportsman.
He said that Ditka could have stopped him last week.
To me, this answer deserves an MVP award.
I'll take it a shot and try to translate. Please be gentle, it's my first translation in this board:
1.- When is it said that Pop and Manu agree: does it mean both of them are in equal conditions? Or it means that Manu and Pop "discussed the subject"? (what I've read is that "Manu accepts the decision", which is not the same as "agree", I think)
Yes, we both were talking the subject and if I hadn't accepted, I would have been starter. I told him to do whatever he thought was best for the team.
2.- Is it Manu's ambition to finish his NBA career as a sub? Really?
Do you really think that after winning 3 rings, an olympic medal and other things that happened to me, does it really matter if I'm a starter or a sub?? Which is the advantage of being a starter?? Being in the game introduction and be presented with small lights and an announcer yelling your name?
3.- Because I've read that he prefers to be a starter... that's not agreeing. And... what does he has to do to accomplish that wish? Play well or play like Finley?
I don't recall I said it, but I don't have any problems with being a sub... I think that in a team you have to give up some things for the common good. It happens to everyone, like somebody said before (in another post). Do you think Barry likes to play 9'? Or Tim likes shooting less than Tony and I? etc?
4.- Maybe he's (Manu) not human and didn't thing about the hall of Fame? Is there another 6th man over there?
The hall of fame has nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with being a starter or a sub... i repeat: what's the difference?? If I play 30'/32' anyway. Did you like it more when I was a starter and after 6' without touching the ball I sat again? Everything to keep 2 of 3 of us in the court as long as possible?
5.- If Pop loves the SAS model where everyone sacrifices for the common good: isn't he just being unfair with Tim and Tony, depriving them of that guevarian asceticism? (we can go all and cut some sugarcane. I mean all of us, eh?)
I don't get it. It doesn't mean that EVERYONE needs to be a sub to make the team better. I think I adapt to that role quite well, because of my characteristics. This way we're more dangerous and fresher for more time.
This are my answers to ALL of your questions. Hey! I didn't mean to be aggresive, eh! I just explain my point of view, and the team's POV so everyone gets it clear. You can still keep doing what you do (like with the Tony subject), but at least you all know my opinion.
Manu
PS: If everyone knows about one benefit of being a starter, please tell me! Mayme I'm missing something and I'm on drugs (** something like that, argentinian modism**). Maybe I'm losing it without even know!
I have no idea why some fans are upset with Manu not starting. The team has done great and is doing great with him coming off the bench. He is having his best season so far and I love it.
I really don't think that actually Manu plays better of the bench,but it is true that bringing Finley back to stater have helped his confidence.
Bottonline is :the spurs play better when manu is on the floor,eather as a starter or sub,after all on one of the best spurs games so far this season Manu was a starter.(vs Dallas).
Wow, I don't like the particular questions they were posting on the forum to Manu. They need to get off Manu's back, he's only human.
They should be ashamed of themselves, it's like they're guilting Manu for being a team player.
If it were me, I'd get impatient with them (fans). Luckily Manu seems like a cooler dude than most people.
Heh, good thing he sticks up for his teammates, as opposed to caring about the "glory" of the individual game.This are my answers to ALL of your questions. Hey! I didn't mean to be aggresive, eh! I just explain my point of view, and the team's POV so everyone gets it clear. You can still keep doing what you do (like with the Tony subject), but at least you all know my opinion.
I know he was defending Tony at the end, but the part where he said "did you like it when I was starting and not touching the ball for the first six minutes?" could be interpreted as a sneaky little jab at Tony.
It's true, Manu gets to shoot/handle the ball a lot more coming off the bench than he ever did as a starter. And now, once Tony and Tim (and Pop) see that he's got a good rhythm going without them, they look for him more when they do play together. The first 30 games last year he was clearly the third option going into the games.
