You must not watch basketball. Manu takes more charges than anyone, and the bruises on his body are evidence of that. As long as Manu wears a Spurs Jersey, the Detroit Bad Girls will never win another title. The t-shirt stems from jealousy. You can wear your stupid shirt, we wear gold championships rings, number 5 on its way. wow Boney, you really are an idiot. You must not watch basketball.

However, I hate the precident it sets in which players would rather let the refs blow the whistle rather than greeting the contact and going for the shot block or steal. While Manu uses it well, it lets punk bastards like Anderson Varejo (I don't know how to spell his last name and don't care to learn the proper spelling) think that flopping is actually associated with good defense. I know people remember the Utah fans throwing trash all over the court during the playoffs last year when the refs were calling fouls left and right, a direct result of Manu's flopping. However, I give Manu a pass since he really is a great all around player unlike that goofy looking Cav whose last name I can't spell.

A year after not even, and you can swallow your own words. Manu has shown plenty about how great of a player he is, and I think anybody who loves this sport would agree.

He's coming off of the bench for a team that starts BRENT BARRY at shooting guard? He flops worse than Vlade Divac ever could have thought of and he's a below average defender. Perhaps he's won championships throughout the whole world, but this is the NBA. I doubt these guys were discriminating against your precious Ginobili, they just designed a shirt showing their dislike for how he flops instead of standing up like a man and taking a charge like a real man does...

So, it's really just a funny t-shirt. Lots of people hated Laimbeer, that's just the way rivalry works.
