Manu 

Post#1 » by Calvin Klein » Wed Dec 30, 2009 4:06 pm

So why is Manu the most hated player for Suns fans? Why more than other spurs/lakers?

Obviously I can't hate the guy because of my nationality so I'm curious. It can't be just the flopping.

Dagger after dagger...in the form of a flamboyant layup, drawing a ticky tack foul on Amare, flopping, getting a steal...

Or that stupid two handed "Whaaaaaaaaa" gesture he makes

And I think our most hated is Kobe, not Manu

In saying that I'd trade JRich for Manu in a heartbeat

Flopper and like Tastic said "Dagger after dagger". I don't really hate him but I hate his game.

A) He's on the Spurs.

B) He's a puss.

C) He's an actor beyond words can describe.

D) He's sneaky, sly, and semi-dirty.

E) He's got a huge schnozz.

F) He bitches. A LOT. Like, way more than any acceptable level of bitching.

G) The PHANTOM call on Raja that he gained out of Donaghy that was about 18 seconds late in Game 3 of 2007 WCSF.

H) The fact that he could be so much more respectable if he DIDN'T employ the tactics he does.

....I could go on.

Oh I do have a reason which is that he got his older brother as a commentator for games broadcasted through our national TV and he is painful to listen to.

I had to watch game 1 of the 2008 first round series on that channel...

I believe in one of his weird flops he crashed into Barbosa's knee and sidelined him for 6 months or so.

But Bowen and Horry are the most hated, both really dirty.

Lol...now here's a deep question? Who here would root for the Suns if we did that trade? I could never give up the Suns but I may not watch as many games if he were on the team.

If a J-Rich for Manu trade happened I would do us all a favor and shoot Manu at the press conference.

Manu's EXACTLY what we need instead of JRich

Smart, VERY high bballl IQ, good defender, great shooter, great passer, clutch player and cheaper...our medical staff could help him too. And he's old, so he fits haha

And what's more we'd be giving JRich to the Spurs :)

He is a flopping little girl. I can't stand that crap in soccer and i hate it in ball. Flopping to
take a charge is one thing, but he flopps like he's been shot on offense too. Once he flopped so bad that he fell back into barbosas knee and barbs was out for 6 weeks

take your friar tuck hairdo and ur flopping tendencies
and POQ!

Raja did it...Kurty did it...NASH does it...

Agreed though, I hate playing him

No way we'd turn down Rich for Manu though...

I would welcome Manu to Phoenix with a giant welcome basket if he came to the Suns. Then i would buy my NBA Finals tickets and a #20 Obi 1 Ginobili jersey. Love that guy's game. It's a buisness, get over it.
