The second greatest athlete to come out of latin america, made his long awaited return! In his debut, Manu managed to score 12 points in 12 minutes, snatched a couple of rebounds, and had 2 deceptive maneuvers(flops). Love him or hate him, his passion for the game makes him one of the most clutch players in the game. Too bad battier won't make it on time to shut manu down in the next game. =( welcome back!

I would never, ever, in a million years, overexaggerate on such a topic. But I guess it can be debatable. I took winning into consideration, along with popularity, eye and HAND coordination, ability to create for others, and came up with the following list. Maradona Manu Pele Clemente Duran, not of duran duran
You forgot one guy, Batistuta, the single greatest pure strike in soccer history. Manu? not even close.
and here I thought maybe you were only including players who played a US sport and really meant S. America and not MLB players from Latin America? I was going to maybe play along with my own list, but I guess you are not taking this seriously.
we can't really complain about flopping with battier on the rockets. the guy is so good at it we have other guys doing it like for e.g yao trying to flop for charges
Battier flops when he is drawing a charge. Manu flops when he's driving through the lane, shooting the ball, defending, sitting on the bench, and walking to the locker rooms.
