How did a bat get in their barn anyway?
And Blair is a big marshmallow! He might as well get ready for the ragging he's gonna get in every NBA arena from here on out.

Yeah, the whole thing was epic. While I wouldn't strike a bat for fun, I would strike it if it's circling me, cause they do suck blood, and carry diseases. Also it was delaying the game, and a player could of got hurt trying to avoid the bat during the game. Life isn't fair, the bat learned. Oh well.

He didn't go out of his way and I doubt he did it for amusement. It was all reflex. Super awesome brave reflex.

Bingo. Manu wasn't going out bat-hunting. This thing almost intercepted a Kings fast break earlier. It was disrupting the game and it's not a safe animal to have just flying everywhere in an enclosed arena. Also, it's not as if a bat in a giant arena is easy to catch. It needed to be taken care of.
And no, sorry. One bat's life simply isn't valuable. If this were part of a greater set behaviors for bat-killing at sporting events, one might have a point. But otherwise, no.

You guys do realize bats suck blood?
Actually the vast majority of species of bats don't suck blood. Most bats eat either insects or fruit.

Manu: It's simple, we kill the Bat
Blair: If it's so simple, why haven't you done it yet?
Manu: If you're good at something, never do it for free.
SWING!

I guess it would have been ok to kill the hawk that got loose during the Heat/Hawks playoff game too?

I can't believe you're being serious here. There was nothing about amusement there. The bat interrupted the game, no one was available to deal with it, and there was a potential danger to the players
The Hawk is a TRAINED animal. What was the Hawk gonna do? If it was a wild hawk that was attacking players to hell with 'em.
They're gonna call the game off to bring in a bat catcher?

I'm betting most who are complaining didn't watch the game. The bat interrupted the game twice. What was the NBA supposed to do? Cancel the game?

Heh, only a couple of species of bats suck blood; none commonly in the United States, and they tend to prefer easier targets like sleeping cows, anyway. The majority just eat insects or fruit.
**** your asterisk.

Re: Manu Ginobili took out a Bat in Mid Air!
Kind of feel bad for the bat. It was forced into an unpleasant environment, likely as a Halloween prank, and killed. I'm not saying Manu was in the wrong, but sucks for the bat.
