No-o-o-o....

Why couldn't this have been the victory picture?

I was screaming "Big Shot Bob" at the TV, but it didn't work.

All I could say was, "Good thing they won Game 5."

I yell at the TV too!! Only at the Lakers, though. Especially when they're being idiots... I "coach" them from my house.


I did some homework for you. Here are Horry\'s most legendary shots. The one I was talking about is on there too... I just watched it again, and I got goosebumps again. Wow. You can probably find more clips from other games and other players on nba.com too. I didn't feel like looking for them though. :p

She picked the wrong time to mess with you!!

By the way, how do you like Manu's hair better, long or short? It's a tough call for me... they both look good on him. Short looked more comfortable though, for the amount of sweating that they do out there.

Well, I yell most at my 'Stros (I suppose I "coach" them too...lol), but I've yelled at the Rockets, Spurs...so on. Actually, sometimes, I give them pep talks. I've done that at live games, too, for the Astros. I had to calm Brad Lidge down because, um, he was getting nervous. And I pray.

Aw, thanks, Zia. I'll be sure to check that out!

Exactly! I had to bite my tongue, but I didn't say anything. She just doesn't understand.


Well, if I can be selfish, I'm going to say long. I always think guys should be comfortable more so than trying to impress gals (a guy like Manu doesn't have to try!), but if this is the ladies' fantasy thread (which it is! ), I'll admit I love him with long hair. The way it just flows, and this sounds nasty, but throughout the game, it gradually gets wetter with sweat, until at the end, it's just all stringy in his face; but he still looks good! And the way he brushes it back with his hand all the time...eek!

Edit: Oh, awesome videos! I watched 'em all! The one you mentioned was awesome. It almost gave me chills seeing it the first time, so I can just imagine how you feel! And you know what? He does the same thing my guy T-Mac does after he gets a shot; as all the guys are hugging him and everything, he just keeps his arms straight down...

Of course you can be selfish! And the brushing it back thing, also hot.

I'd hate to have to smell him after a game, though.

Yeah, with the palms back, kind of like he's thinking, "Uh huh, I'm the MAN!"

Speaking of the hugging and stuff... is it like a rule, before a guy can play basketball, he has to sign this thing saying that he will slap the butts of all his teammates who do a good job? It cracks me up, they can't keep their hands off each other!

Okay, so I'm not the only one who has a sweat fetish. Or was it halftime in this one? Anywho.

Yeah! It's like, some people might consider it right on the verge of arrogant, but I think it's cute. And T-Mac gets this huge bulldog scowl on his face that's so hilarious.

I know! Baseball, too...they love that. Now if we can only convince them to let us join the Spurs...we'll be the official buttslappers for all the guys!

It takes an exceptional guy to be able to make sweat look good. Usually it just grosses me out... very rarely is it sexy.

I like how you're thinking!! :p

Absolutely. Usually grosses me out, too...

I like how you're thinking!! :p [/b][/quote] We (the gals, at least) used to talk about that at the old Astros forum I would go to; we'd say we'd be the official buttslappers and cheerleaders for the 'Stros. There'd be some very "suitable" participants in baseball, but I'd be fine working in the NBA, too...

I think I'd probably let my emotions take charge if I ever came into physical contact with one of my "idols," though...might get hauled off to the loony bin if I try to jump any of them.

Check out this cute picture...


He's got perfect arms, doesn't he? They're not TOO muscular, they're more like lean, yoga muscles. Whatever it is, it's workin' for me!

Whoa, this one's cuter!! He looks hot in regular clothes. That's the President of Argentina next to him, by the way. His name is Nestor Kirchner. I'm guessing this was taken around the time of the Olympics.

Ooohhh!

Yes, the arms! How could I forget those precious babies? It's the hair, the sweat, and the arms.

Another lovely pic!

Okay, sorry for whoring pictures, I'll try to make this the last one. It's just that I didn't know there was a shirtless picture of Manu somewhere on the internet.

I'm not selfish, when I find gold, I share. Here you go.

Oh! Go here, click on "Pictures" on the left under Multimedia, and under the Spurs section, check out the second pic! (I can't copy/paste it...) I'd never heard of Delfino (shows how much I know the NBA... ), but they both look absolutely gorgeous in this picture!!!

Oh. Man. That was almost too much to handle!

Thank you.

I think I've scrolled up to see it again about three times already.

Holy crap. I see a photo on that site of him posing for ESPN magazine. In a suit. He looks so sexy! I hope that's a new issue!

Nice... he looks like an old fashioned gangster in those pictures, doesn't he?

Also on that site, in the section under "Seleccion Argentina" on page 2, check out the middle picture in the second row. He looks really good there. And the first picture on the third row is hot too... wowee!

I wish I could get a better look at his wedding picture, but it won't enlarge when I click on it.

Exactly what I was thinking and what made it so attractive! Reminds me of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

I checked out your "recommendations." Nice! Man, if the stupid site would allow me to right-click, those photos would be all over this thread. Well, maybe that's why they don't allow that.

I'm reading these 50 (Well, I think, like, 100 total) questions that were sent in to him by fans; gives a good idea of his personality, which is cool.

He's married, though, isn't he? Not that it really matters; I'd rather him be happy....just one of those things you gotta know. heh

Edit: Oh, okay. Wedding pic...that answers it. lol

Testing if this'll work...

Hey, it does work! When I right click, something comes up that tells me not to, but I did anyway, and voila!

I hope I don't get arrested. :p

There we go! Might that be Snag-It you have? Or some other special Manu powers?

Edit: Weird...but good! I almost had it, but I accidentally clicked again when it popped up, and I haven't gotten it to work a second time...yet.



Don't tell!

You have to click fast...

There's a way around everything.

Anyway, I've had a long day, and I've got another long one tomorrow... I'm not really tired, but I should go to bed anyway.

Post if you find anything else that's cool (whether it's Manu or not) and I'll read it later. Good night!

Okay, Zia. Thanks for keeping me company so I wasn't gushing over Manu all by myself. I need to get to bed, too, or just stay up until morning!

'Nite.

You're welcome, and likewise! But that would have been funny to wake up to-- like 3 pages of just you, talking about him.

We should keep each other company more often, seeing as how we keep the same hours, pretty much.
