It's really getting hard out there for an Argentine to draw a charge, huh?  Ask Manu Ginobili on Tuesday against Jason Richardson and the Bobcats:

If it leads to less flopping by Manu, I'm all for it. 

Ah, but wait... it reminded me of a dunk from earlier this season... oh yes:  Rudy Gay sodomizing Argentine Luis Scola:

"Someone put that on a poster and give 5,000 out".  Indeed. 

Wasn't it earlier this month that Mickael Pietrus dunked over Andres Nocioni?  Oh yes, here it is:

Not that much of a dunk, but my favorite thing is the comment on the You Tube page for this video: "Pietrus, I partied with him over Xmas break in the city... took shots of Patron". 

Well, at least no one has posterized Fabricio Oberto... this season.  He's been fine, since... last postseason:

Oh. Oh snap. Not good times for Argentines, huh? 

Well, we'll always have Walter Herrmann and his naked dunks!

Let's see Dwight Howard do that at the slam dunk contest next year....

Hey Ricky: I did! I'm hoping to find some You Tube of it, and put it up. Messi is amazing.

Even better - I found a link at an Argentine website to a story about another young Argentine player who is the "next Messi". You hear these stories all the time, but this one looks interesting... he's already be signed by Barcelona. Prior to choosing Barcelona, he was contacted by representatives of Real Madrid, Liverpool, Sevilla and Arsenal! His name is Mauro Iscardi, and I'm going to do my research on him....

great stuff, you made me curious... post the Iscardi video if you find

Lucho Figueroa is playing well here for my fav team, Genoa, after missing basically one year with various injuries. I met him and he's really a good, humble, even shy guy
