The Ultimate Manu?

You know, I always have thought of Argentina as the “Parts Unknown”…

“Ginobili was no more impressive than he’s been in any other game. He’s hell-bent for leather and that’s the way he always plays. He’s the ultimate warrior.” – Spurs coach Gregg Popovich

So, next question. Does this make Rip Hamilton, Rey Mysterio Jr.?

All-Star Saturday Night Defense

NEW YORK – In a concerted effort to get the entire Detroit Pistons team in Houston, NBA Commissioner David Stern announced a new event for the All-Star Saturday Night line-up – the Quaker Oats® Hustle Back On D And Try To Block A Lay-up Challenge.

The star-studded field for the Quaker Oats Hustle Back On D And Try To Block A Lay-up Challenge will feature Tayshaun Prince of the Detroit Pistons. Yeah, that’s it.

The fast-paced event will feature a generic point guard – possibly Milt Palacio, maybe Steve Blake – dribbling hard to the net, while Prince – starting at half-court – sprints back on D and attempts to block the lay-up. He’ll do it a couple of times; they’ll time him; Kenny Smith will be upset.

Prince, a long-limbed son-of-a-bitch, will join his four Pistons teammates who were named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team as reserves. In addition, Prince will join his coach, Flip Saunders, who will be leading the Eastern Conference squad. It’s also rumored that the Pistons ball boys will be invited to Houston as well. Oh, and Mason.

The Quaker Oats Hustle Back On D And Try To Block A Lay-up Challenge will be televised live nationally as part of the NBA All-Star Saturday Night presented by AOL, which will also feature the Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout, Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk and RadioShack Shooting Stars.
