    He plays better than tmac. He should be a starter for most teams and he sure does play more minutes for a role n bench player. Give him credits man, Ginobli play hard n brings so much energy every night. He is an all-star!!

    Sports like golf and formula 1 create huge endorsement deals for their top athletes because they have a high percentage of upper class viewers. So not that surprised to see Mickelson at 2.

    Tiger Woods will be a billionaire just for playing golf!!! That just amazes me. I just never supported athletes getting paid such ridiculous amounts n such high endorsements, while millions r starving in poor countries!!

    I actually wanted to bring up this point to...Golf actually has pretty high TV ratings, alot of non-major events have better numbers than some NBA playoff games. I know Nascar and IRL does, also.

    Not me.. but you can pretty much say that about any of the athletes and their endorsements. There's no denying that Tiger has brought the popularity of golf to a whole new level. Other golfers should be thanking him because he's bringing more money to the game of golf.. and that in turn brings more money to them. He's an endorsement magnet... $127 mil/year?!!.. I just need 1% of that and I'm good.

    What are you talking about he plays better than T-MAC? And no , hes not an allstar the reason he can't play big minutes consistently is because he can't, he gets chippy, leading back to why he isn't an all star

    I mean, technically, she's the lucky one. I'm sure there are alot more girls who look like her than there are uber-wealthy athletes.

    She's still ridiculously hot.

    Whats your point? Yes, Manu will not play well if he has to play a lot of minutes. And you're very critical of this.

    But when Tmac plays big minutes, he disappears for critical stretches of the game. Yet you defend him nonstop.

    Its impossible to be objective when you have double standards.

    Cuban is the embodiment of "meddling" evil empire owners who tinker way too much with their teams and end up doing more harm than good for them.

    Theres a difference between playing NORMAL minutes for a starter and playing the entire game (TMAC). What is wrong with you ? Start analyzing stuff before spewing useless crap, your telling me that because Manu can't play starter minutes consistently and TMAC can't play every single minute of a game i have double standards?

    lol dude.

    so wekko, did lebron go down as one of the worst players in your book with his playoff performance this year according to how you explain your logic? :eek:

    you blame tmac for disappearing in 4th quarters? lebron did that routinely in the playoffs.

    you blame him for shooting bad. lebron did that routinely in the playoffs.

    you blame him for missing fts. lebron was nearly just as bad.

    but nah, lebron is the 2nd best player in the NBA. :eek: get over it. tmac is a top 5 perimeter player. manu is not. stop arguing the point.
