Fun Stuff Involving Manu

I'm sitting here bored and decided to come up with some cool little things about Manu Ginobili you may not know about. Hope you enjoy.

Star-divide

 

  • Every night, Chris Paul puts on a Manu ginobili jersey and paints himself white because he wants to be like Manu Ginobili, though he knows he never will be. He then curls up in the corner and cries while listening to "Love Hurts" and looking at his autographed picture of Manu which says "don't worry, you'll get it someday.......maybe"
  • Phil Jackson heard that wearing black makes you seem bigger. So he adorns his black suit in hopes that the optical illusion will scare off bears-I mean Manu Ginobili. Sadly this never works.
  • Manu is like Obama, he always beats the Mavericks.
  • If Manu ever scores less than 20 points in a game, it's a government agent disguised to look like Manu while the real Manu is out stopping Goldfinger as 0020 (meant to be read as double-O 20)
  • Ever heard the phrase, "when they made you they broke the mold"? When they made Manu, he took the mold, set it on fire, dated it for three weeks, then broke it over Amare Stoudamire's head. Trust me, one of these days a Suns fan will bring that up as the Spurs cheating.
  • When you stare at the sun, it hurts your vision and can cause blindness. When Manu stares into the sun, it cowers behind the horizon.
  • From the Spurs Bible, section 3:18. Manu split the red sea of Rockets jerseys and dunked that s***.
  • The "Where's Waldo" series is based on Waldo running away from Manu after he told Manu he sucked. A foolish mistake indeed.
  • Manu once made a blind man able to see, but when Manu blocked a D-Wade shot, the man was blinded once more by Manu's shining glory.
  • North Korea is testing out nuclear weapons in case Manu Ginobili decides to invade North Korea.
  • Twitter is constantly crashing because every hour, Manu's worshipers post 3 billion tweets about him at the same time.
  • For the best in home security, call 1-800-MANU today. Your children can never be too safe. WARNING: IF CHILDREN ARE SUNS OR LAKERS FANS, MANU WILL REGISTER THEM AS A THREAT TO YOUR FAMILY AND INSTANTANEOUSLY ANNIHILATE THEM
  • The song "Electric Eye" is really about Manu Ginobili.
  • Wikipedia once posted Manu's secret powers and weaknesses. Manu then hacked Wikipedia and made it so anyone could edit it. Thus the site lost credibility and the article was taken as blasphemy by the general public.
  • Silly Rocket, Manu's for Spurs (parody of the Trix slogan)
  • Ryu from Street Fighter is based off Manu Ginobili. If it was actually Manu, the game would be too unfair for non-Manu players as Manu would instantaneously beat the game and erase your high score.
  • June 30, 1999; a day that will live on in infamy. This was the day, the NBA knew it was screwed.
  • Argentinians type in all-caps as if to say: "YEAH, WE'RE OF THE SAME SACRED BLOOD AS MANU GINOBILI B***H" Though they never usually censor it.
  • The recent recession of the US is due to the US government paying Manu Ginobili not to wage war upon the US. Manu, in all his humble, nobility accepted the offers........for now
  • Every one of Manu's joints are triple-jointed, allowing him to move like a snake between defenders.
  • if Manu Ginobili was an animal, he'd be a liger. It's a mix between a lion and a tiger bred for it's skills and magic
  • The song "Painkiller" is about Manu. Because he's "Faster than a bullet, Terrifying scream, Enraged and full of anger, He's half man and half machine"

Hope you got a kick out of some of those.

those were my favorite.

By the way, did we ever do the “Spurs Bible” post? i remember a couple threads where some wrote some verses for the Bible that made me GOL

But I never got around to posting it.

This post is a classic, kaiser. A number of hilarious bits, and

Manu once made a blind man able to see, but when Manu blocked a D-Wade shot, the man was blinded once more by Manu’s shining glory.

definitely gets a JTU.

Wouldn’t that be a tigon?

Ligers are massive…tigons are the same size as lions so says wiki….something about the lioness mother reducing the size of tigons but female tigers being closer in size to their male counterparts….something like that

Hey I’m not the only one who thinks of Napoleon Dynamite anytime someone drops the word “liger,” am I?

by Gino20 on Sep 2, 2009 1:35 AM CDT reply actions  

that was the point
It’s a mix between a lion and a tiger bred for it’s skills and magic

I believe it’s “skills in magic”

I got it from some video with a best of Napolean thing and they translated it as “skills and magic” But i don’t know for sure which way it is
