^^ Fact.

For as much as you can hate on Manu, he's one hell of a player.

It took me awhile, but I've realized Manu is pretty damn good.

Still, something about him that makes me hate him.

Manu is an awesome player. Flopper or whatever. He brings Ws and plays the game damn well.

He is from Argentina, and im from Brazil, but i have to say, he is pretty good. He knows how to play the game, one of the highest IQs in the NBA.

yea he's a good player, but IMO he's not nearly as good as people think he is. If it weren't for his flopping he wouldn't be nearly as successful IMO.

Uh, how does flopping affect the impact he has on offense? He's pretty damn good offensively too.

Manu is not overrated. When healthy he is really really good.

Flopping doesn't increase your chances of hitting countless, timely shots. Or doing this...

That's a pretty impressive display of offense.

Manu is the type of player you'd hate going against but love it if he were on your team. Just check out his numbers in the last 5 and 2 minutes in a game. He's in the top 3 or 5 in each of those. They guy is clutch. It's too bad he had a bum ankle in the Laker series. Would've been a great series had he been healthy.
