Category Archives: Manu Ginobli

Why is Manu Ginobli awesome? Well it could be that he’s won three NBA Championships as a member of the San Antonio Spurs (just to clarify, The Bald Master General in not a Spurs fan…at all). Or maybe it’s that he won an Olympic gold medal as a member of the somehow ultra-successful Argentinian National Team (no disrespect to Argentina, but the team has more accent marks than NBA caliber players, so pardon me if I’m a little surprised). No folks, he’s not awesome because of all of his accomplishments; he’s awesome because he’s played professional basketball on national television every night for the last few years, with a big ole’ bald spot on the back of his head. At one point, Manu had long flowing hair that made him look more like a cologne ad than an athlete, but it didn’t last. So when he started going bald, Manu just cut his hair short and let his bald spot shine; literally and figuratively. Now he has a sort of “foreign guy that works the shoe counter at the bowling alley” kind of look to him; except he makes millions of dollars and wins NBA titles, so nuts to me and my little jokes. Manu Ginobli: NBA star, and Sergeant in the Bald Army.
