Hi Manu! Greetings from /r/NBAspurs, the official Spurs subreddit. We put together a post of questions for you from us and here are the top 5:

  1. Have you ever thought of leaving to become the 1st or 2nd option, or even starting, on another team? What made you stay? from /u/engineer_at_work

  2. What are your favorite things about playing in the US and what were your favorite memories of playing in Argentina/overseas? from /u/pizza_pussy_santa

  3. Hola manu,soy de Rio gallegos, Santa Cruz, Argentina, mi pregunta, La dimencion de la cancha de la NBA y de la altura del aro son diferentes a la de LNB? Otra cosa, Volverias a jugar en bahia antes de retirarte o en cualquier club de liga nacional? Pagaria lo que sea por ir a verte jugar c: y si se puede, una foto,aunque es medio dificil c: from /u/Denis_Palliante

  4. Which of your championships is the most important or meaningful to you and why? (EURO 01, NBA 03, Olympics 04, NBA 05, NBA 07) from me

  5. Last year when OKC started switching on pick and roll, why did you (Manu) have to take Ibaka one-on-one on the perimeter rather than let Duncan post-up a guard? This happened multiple times in multiple games. Duncan and Manu would run pick and roll and Ibaka and Westbrook/Harden would switch. So Ibaka would be on Manu while WB/Harden were on Duncan. Ibaka is athletic enough to guard Manu (who's a bit slower now) one-on-one. But there's no way that WB/Harden can defend Duncan posting up on them. ARGHH, this was so frustrating because Manu would just settle for a contested long two and miss almost every time. So if could answer my question, I could get closure from last year's playoff loss. from /u/CloakOfInvisibility1

Thanks for making a whole country love the spurs and basketball. For all the hard work and effort, and for being such a humble guy through it all. De un argentino a otro. Seeing you in person and seeing you guys play was an amazing experience I'll never forget! Epilogue from /u/estudiantes19

Man, that Popovich sure knows his basketball. He should be a coach.
