Video: Manu Ginobili catches rogue bat during Halloween game
Ball Don't Lie —
Tonight's Halloween game between the Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs was delayed when a bat began flying around the court — that is, until Spurs guard Manu Ginobili(notes) whacked the bat out of midair with his hand like a freakin' cat! ("Manu who catch bat with hand accomplish anything." — Mr. Miyagi) With the bat dazed and confused, Manu calmly picked up the flying mammal, walked it over to an usher and delivered his kill. After a quick squirt of hand sanitizer the game was back on. No bat, no ...
Video: Manu Ginobili kills a bat during Spurs-Kings game
Posted Sports : Basketball —
Manu Ginobili is a man of many talents. And he added another feat to his list when his San Antonio Spurs played the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night — bat wrangler.
The offending bat first appeared late in the first quarter, teasing players and officials, first stopping play and then skirting away to evade capture. Unfortunately, the bat was doomed when Ginobili entered the picture as he knocked it down with one hand, grabbed the rodent and carried it off the court as the crowd applauded loudly. His hand was sanitized by a trainer, but no one would have judged if he left the court for a ...

NBA Video: Manu Ginobli
SPORT'S WITH MR. FACTOID —
During the San Antonio Spurs home game versus the Sacramento Kings on Halloween night a friendly bat decided to stir up a little trouble. Towards the end of the first quarter the creature of the night flew down on the court, forcing the refs to stop the game until he could be removed. Luckily for Spurs fans Manu Ginobli also moonlights as a rodent exterminator. Check it out. So Manu knocked the rascal down, but did he wash his hands afterward? Bats aren't the cleanest little blood suckers in the world, so I hope Ginobli at least used some hand sanitizer after the hand off.
Sunday Six Pack: KD, VC and the Batman
NBAMate —
Ahhhh… feels good to down a six pack during the season for once.
ONE: First the Aussie Roundup. BogutWatch – now back in action after a 10 month absence – didn’t exactly get off to the best start yesterday. The Bucks got rolled in Philly 99-86, with AB struggling in the 31 minutes of court time he had – just 8 points, 6 rebounds, and zero assists/steals/blocks. In typical Bogut fashion though, he was still efficient, shooting a solid 4-9 from the field. Despite the loss it wasn’t all bad news for the Bucks, as rookie Brandon Jennings put on a show. Too much of a show really, as the final minutes of ...

Game 3 Recap: Spurs 113, Kings 94
CowbellKingdom.com —
The Sacramento Kings could use some consistency – even after just three games.
After an embarrassing opening night in OKC and a bit of a redemption loss in New Orleans that looked extremely encouraging, the Kings were brought back down to Earth by getting manhandled 113-94 in San Antonio. They finished the early road trip 0-3 and look to get their first win against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The strange thing about Saturday night was that the Kings were able to match the Spurs for much of the first half and seemed to be lingering for a possible upset. The problem was they couldn’t close out quarters. They would play tough for eight minutes in each of ...
Manu Ginobli gets a rabies vaccine / Memories of Big Unit
SignAndTrade —
Manu Ginobli is one of the more fun players to watch. You never really know what to expect from him, but it is often the case that whatever he does is entertaining.
Many of you are already aware that recently Manu put his KungFu on a bat (yes, a flying, blind, halloween type, could have been a vampire bat) during a game and managed to not only knock it out of the air, but then went on to pick it up and escort it off of the court. He appeared to get out of the incident unscathed.
Well, Manu had to get a rabies vaccine yesterday. They don’t know if the bat had rabies or not, but better safe than sorry. I spent 6 weeks waiting to start foaming ...
