Yes, I would be more concerned if Tony did not want to play in situations like this.

good
I think spurs and tp are fine
but tp was pissed as anyone here would be if they were tp
tp told the truth and did not lie
I respect him more for that
I would rather no pro play in these games
even for other countries
mais ça n'est pas toi qui a passé je sais pas combien de posts à argumenter à propos des clichés ridicules que certains avaient balancés sur les français (sales, lâches etc etc) ? ça c'était vraiment du temps perdu sur un sujet inutile.
mais sur le fond, t'as pas complètement tort

Nobody is going to be happy about having to travel 30+ hours, cranky with a sore foot. I still wonder if Parker would have overlooked the pain to compete versus Italy, if he wasn't asked to come to SA. The compe ive juices flow in situations like that.
The problem is..as Tony admitted "I still feel a discomfort which is logical after an ankle sprain". Although that statement was not in context with the Italy game, it still states the stark truth.
La différence, c'est que je ne commence pas des "threads" (je ne sais même pas le mot français pour ça ) avec des sujets dont je sais très bien qu'ils vont amener plus d'intolérance et donc de bétise.
Et dans ce genre de "threads", il y a ensuite des remarques xénophobes... et tu sais ce que j'en pense.
Tu en lis une, tu laisses passer, deux... trois... quinze... et à un moment tu te sens obligé de répondre et cela ne fait qu'empirer les choses.
Et je pense que le racisme ou la xénophobie sont des sujets plus importants que le fait de savoir si Tony Parker est énervé ou pas.
If you don't expect the medical staff to protect their multi million dollar investment, you're a moron. Call people out for overreacting, but don't be a banana rider. It's embarrassing.

Merci. Je ne passe pas assez de temps sur des forum français.
just stfu tony and be ready for training camp.
Like I said earlier in the thread:
Which was exactly what I was doing.
What's embarrassing is people obviously not reading through the whole thread.
Thanks kace and Bruno for the updates.
I hope TP is health to play for France and the Spurs
Don't worry, on the video TP explain that when he has a sprain ankle, he always feel a discomfort for 30 days. It's not pain.
He also tells about his arrival in SA, where the first thing is done was getting new X-rays and then went to the gym for a full practice. He said he was fine the first day, but it was harder practicing the next 2 days because of the jetlag, the 15 hours travel, and the lack of physical work due to the healing process.
Good info, Freeze. I haven't seen the video, yet.
I understand Tony's frustration and I am not generally a big fan of Tony Parker.
I appreciate his honesty in this situation. Although, the danger of talking to the media in the heat of things is that they will continue to quote you long after you yourself have moved past the sentiments.
I think the Spurs did what they felt they had to do and that Tony cooperated as best and as patiently he could.
why not?
Bottom Line: We pay this guy 10 million a year to play 82 games plus the playoffs. It's his responsibility to keep himself as healthy as possible. So Parker's paycheck this month, while he's over in France busting his ankle and jeopardizing our whole season, is over $800,000.
I'm sick of this. The Spurs have been damaged more by international play than any other team. I think it's time for Spurs players to have to sign waivers for international play. Period.
This international BS shouldn't interfere with your day job. If I bust my ankle playing hoop on a Saturday afternoon at the Y, and can't work on Monday, that's my fault. Money out of my own pocket. Simple enough.
Tony is extremely talented and possibly a little too aware of that fact. I think Tony lacks some of the humility and maturity that Timmy, for example, displays.
But all I know of Tony is the relatively little I have read about him/ heard from him in interviews, so I could be misjudging him.
I stated in my last post that Tony is not a particular favorite of mine to illustrate that I am not blindly defending him as I might do a player who is my favorite. I truly do not think Tony ought to be blamed harshly in this situation.
Just a question, aren't NBA players paid only during the season? I didn't think the salaries were broken down by year, but by season.
Does anyone know if I'm remembering right?
Tony won't get hurt playing for his NT, he will kick ass on the NBA and everyone that is bashing him now will be sucking his balls for the entire season.
Au moins le pe groupe de français de ST est solidaire, ce qu'il y a de sympa c'est que nos amis argentins au moins comprennent notre frustation. Bientôt la fin des fils de discussion Manu vs. TP.
In English now, because don't forget we are posting in an english native language board !
At least french fans are showing solidarity in these discussions. What is nice is that Argentinan fans understand our frustration. Does it mean soon the end of the Manu vs. TP threads ?
Link or stop lying. I never said TP was fine with the Spurs position.
The first report of TP not playing against Italy arose prior to the Spurs getting involved and the source was someone with the French NT team.
Since when did kace turn into such a horrible poster? He used to be decent quality. Now he's like the French version of KBP with a chip on his shoulder who has some weird obsession with timvp.
I used to say that the French posters were pound for pound the best on the site but kace has single-handedly ruined that. He's the worst kind of poster now -- homer to something other than the Spurs who lies to further his allegiance. Hopefully he improves as a poster.
You are right. Although the parties may agree to a different payment schedule, the standard specified in the Uniform Player Contract is:
Unless otherwise provided in Exhibit 1, such Compensation shall be paid in twelve (12) equal semi-monthly payments beginning with the first of said payments on November 15th of each year covered by the Contract and continuing with such payments on the first and fifteenth of each month until said Compensation is paid in full.

This will all blow over when training camp starts.
