I totally agree that I'm a bit of a homer, but I will say this. Manu's ability to slash and finish near the basket is something that I think makes him a great player. When he gets the ball off a screen and starts to drive, I know that at LEAST he's going to get the ball up near the hoop and hopefully will finish or draw a foul. In a tough game, when the other team has made a run and you need to answer, thats the kind of performance you need.
But yeah, I am bias. Go Spurs Go.
And the Kobe saga is definitely interesting and seems to change day to day. I honestly can't see any team trading for him, what you would have to give up would be too great. But who knows, maybe Minn. trades the farm to match Kobe and KG? But I'd much rather see him in the East.
