The interview just started.

"Pop's crazy but a good crazy" - SJAX

"Magic, MJ, Bird, TD, and Wilt" Top players all time at each position by SJAX

But the interview just ended, rest of the show is in French.

[naico]

SJax is convinced he can find his form from 2007/2008 (and the GS-Dallas series) back

[lefty]

Alors, Stipheune, content d'être de retour ?

[Admidave50]

Stephen answering a French fan: "I can definitely get back to my level during the playoffs in 2007 when Golden State beat Dallas. I never had serious injuries during my career and never been through surgery. My body is great, I just need to be in game shape"

TP: "It was awesome to see Stephen again, he was one of my favorite players. We had much fun between Tim, Manu and I when we got all together again"

[ace3g]

He is still talking so if anyone can translate the interesting parts, that would be helpful

[Admidave50]

TP is honored to be in the MVP discussions and especially that Magic mentioned him. He was one of his favorite players and he checked by the video to be sure. But he knows that he won't win it.

He said also that he had chills when fans were screaming "MVP MVP" during the Magic game. He heard it many times before towards Tim and David, it was the first time for him.

[ace3g]

From earlier:

S. Jackson ( @DaTrillStak5 ) on the #tpshow : "I can hit big shots, I can go out there and guard anybody. And I’ll try to bring leadership."

[Bruno]

Parker declined to answer about Diaw and Turiaf and just said that he didn't know his situation. I wouldn't be surprised if someone in Spurs organization told him to keep it quiet after what he said lest week.

The transcript.

[ace3g]

Looks like Diaw will be on the show today: see what he has to say:

Tony Parker Show, ce soir à 20h sur RMC, avec Boris Diaw, mon nouveau coéquipier à San Antonio, et Fabien Gilot, qualifié en natation sur 100m aux JO de Londres !!! A tout à l'heure !!!

[Bruno]

So, the Diaw interview was short because he had to leave for a massage. It was fun to hear because Boris and Tony are great friends but there were noting new said. Diaw said again that Pop wanted him to play some good defenses, set screens and share the ball. Spurs like his versatility.

Turiaf was also part of the show. Parker said that Spurs wanted him and that Pop asked him to call him. Boston was also very interested. Turiaf picked Miami because he wanted to be in a great team where he could get playing time. It's too close to his home and family.

So Spurs wanted Diaw and Turiaf? Or they wanted Turiaf and settled for Diaw? I would take Diaw and Turiaf over Bonner and Blair.

[T Park]

Awesome story, you got the money to pay the lux tax hit?

[Bruno]

So Spurs wanted Diaw and Turiaf? Or they wanted Turiaf and settled for Diaw? I would take Diaw and Turiaf over Bonner and Blair.

They wanted both. Spurs wanted Diaw before Turiaf was traded and waived.

[timvp]

Is there a French player the Spurs don't love? Parker, Batum, Diaw, Turiaf, De Colo, Mahinmi, Flo Pietrus, Diawara, Gelabale ... Spurs have been connected one way or another to just about every attainable French basketball player.

It's not a bad idea ... as long as they never sign Petro or Mike Pietrus :tu

[MaNu4Tres]

Turiaf looking good so far with the Heat. Even hit a mid-range jumper with great form.

[Ice009]

They wanted both. Spurs wanted Diaw before Turiaf was traded and waived.

Crazy. I asked for both in the Turiaf thread. I wanted both too. Funny that the Spurs wanted the exact same thing. Did Turiaf talk to Pop or did he not even call him back?

[ace3g]

not sure if you guys have seen this but 48MOH did a few articles on if Boris Diaw is a good fit for the Spurs compared to others available:

I've been looking online through the nba store but haven't found anything yet.

TP just posted this vid: On the road to London, this one focuses on TP and his basketball history; at 3:47 mark you get a photo of a super skinny Diaw, lol

T. Parker: "We are playing great right now"


On his own show on French radio RMC, Tony Parker talks about the current Western Conference leader, the San Antonio Spurs. The four-time NBA All-Star explains how great it is to play with his friend Boris Diaw and believe the Spurs have what it takes to win a championship this season: "Boris is playing really well. It’s great to be with him on the court. I never thought that one day we would be both starting on one of the best NBA teams. We know each other since we were kids, we learned how to play basketball together. He’s really a great add for the team. (…) We are first in the West and we are playing great basketball right now. We have just won 13 games in row. That’s a difficult thing to do in the NBA. I think we have everything needed to win a championship. We only need to avoid injuries and continue in the same direction..."

http://www.rmcsport.fr/editorial/245553/t-parker-we-are-playing-great-right-now/

[timvp]

13? Well, at least that means the Spurs will beat the Lakers. Good news :tu

[Robz4000]

No one considers that Dallas game a loss. It never actually happened.

[Bruno]

The most interesting Parker said in today's show it that Pop has told him he will monitored his minutes for the rest of the season. He has 2 off games planed for the rest of the season and some other with a 15 minutes playing time limit.

[DPG21920]

Did he say he was playing tonight?

[Bruno]

Did he say he was playing tonight?

He said nothing about him playing or not tonight.

[DPG21920]

I'm glad to hear Pop has this pre-planned. Health is crucial and TP looks tired sometimes (rightfully so). They are pretty much a lock for a top 2 seed so they should rest guys.

[DPG21920]

It's about an adult cartoon...

[julv]

So, who is serge ?
;)

[romain.star]

What is this show about... fucking a teammates wife?

Not only... The TP Show is also about the religious History of the pre 13th century Northern Laos. Parker being one of the few european experts regarding that topic

[Bruno]

So, who is serge ?
;)

It's colargol. But yeah, it was quite funny and unexpected to hear him giving some props to timvp and ST on TP radio show.

[Brazil]

:lol I missed that part

[Paranoid Pop]

Yeah that was great :lol, he's the best caller, always asks good questions, last time he asked about the Diaw signing before it was done.

[Bruno]

:lol I missed that part

Go to 16:20 mark to hear him given them props in English:

[timvp]

:lol Pretty funny.

[Kori Ellis]

Who is the host of the show that he's talking to about SpursTalk? That's not Tony, right?

[colargol]

It was the last "TP show" so i had to make some noise...:lol:downspin:

[julv]

Yeah that was great :lol, he's the best caller, always asks good questions, last time he asked about the Diaw signing before it was done.

it would be a shame if a regular reader of st would ask sucky questions... I wonder if anyone else ever spoke of st a bit longer on the show.

[julv]

Who is the host of the show that he's talking to about SpursTalk? That's not Tony, right?

Tony is the host, but he is seconded by a guy from the radio, who is the one you heard.

cannot open the link for whatever reason but on the training camp there are some quotes written.

tony is saying they are doing 2 hours session, European style. During regular season sessions are just 30 to 45 mn. Sometimes we look at each other with Boris and we tell ourselves Pop didn't say that we would rest a bit? But that's normal we are part of the leaders of the team we must lead by example. For the moment we are 21 players with a lot of new players, there is a lot to learn, new systems. We also need to work defensive system. It takes a lot of time.

[ElNono]

I tried to read a bit, and I think he also said the suffles were yummy and you never mix crepes with creme brulee...

But I haven't spoken french in years, tbh, so YMMV...

In addition of what Brazil said, Tony talked about the training camp at the Air Force Academy. Coaches let the players 3 hours in the hands of two instructors who scream at them. They were only allowed to answer in the "Sir , Yes, Sir" mold. During that time they did some military exercises with obstacles and weapons.

Parker said how he was luck to be at the training camp with the same coach, 2 players he's been with for 12 years in Tim and Manu and 2 french players with Boris and Nando. He called that like being in a small paradise. It's an ideal situation for a PG.

For the rest of the show, there were interview with Dikembe Mutembo and Vlade Divac. But, the huge event is for next week, when Tony will have the great honor to have on his show the amazing... wait for it... Vassilis Spanoulis.

oh no!!!!

on serious note they must be friends, saw a vid during Eurobasket where they were hanging out, talking as they were heading to the arena.

[Bruno]

Yeah, Parker is quite close to a lot of European players that are born in 1981 or 1982 because they faced each other in youth competitions. Kirilenko is also in that category.

[ElNono]

les fromages qui puent

odeur et transpiration des pieds, tbh

[pgardn]

Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the leaves of plants. Moves minerals up, nitrogenous compounds dissolved in the water from the roots so proteins can be produced. At the same time this loss of water leaves stomata open so that carbon fixation via CO2 can take place, and O2 is allowed to leave. Pun intended.

This is perhaps one of the most important biological processes on the face of the earth.

so what does this have to do with the comfort of the omnivore, Tony Parker?

[PlayNando]

Mutombo wanted to be a surgeon.

Hmmm... stomata... goes great with Cannelloni...

[sinok]

Actually, in french, transpiration means sweating.

[boutons_deux]

Transpiration ... what does this have to do with the comfort of the omnivore, Tony Parker?

one word in two languages, two different meanings, aka "faux ami". Lots of them.

[Bruno]

A couple of interesting things Parker said this week:
- He find that Duncan looks great and that he might be even better this season than in the past one.
- Pop had an 1 hour long video session on game 6 few days ago.

While I'm sure it will be tough to watch, hopefully Pop can think of some new situational strategies for late close game management.

I've mentioned it before but each time after those 2 TOs by LeBron we pushed the ball up the court, no need to do that when we have the lead and with only around 50 sec; take time off the clock.

I think it was pretty much nerves playing a role in pushing the ball. Usually the Spurs are good about holding the ball when have the lead with seconds to go.

(http://twitter.com/tonyparker)Tony Parker Show sur RMC à 20h avec Nando de Colo, Céline Dumerc et Corey Maggette !!!! A tout de suite !!!!


FROM FRENCH BY BING TRANSLATOR (http://bing.com/translator?ref=twt)

Tony Parker Show on RMC at 8 p.m. with Nando of Colo, Celine Dumerc and Corey Maggette! A immediately!

[Bruno]

Tony spoke about Boris new aggressiveness and said that Pop playcalling has also changed with it. Against Utah, Pop called about 10 systems for Boris, while eh called in previous years very little plays for him.

Nando just said that he just had to keep working, to stay positive and to stay ready. A NBA season is long and his salutation could change. He dodged questions about his future saying that he was only focused on this year with Spurs.

Maggette is retired for sure and in France taking some vacation.

:pctoss :pctoss

we all know how Parker's early-season predictions turn out :pctoss

[Frenchie]

Tim Duncan was good at the beginning of the pre-season. I don't think his shape has totally disappeared. He's in a shooting slump but it's too early to consider this as a concern.

I appreciated the way Nando responded when he was asked about his playing time and his future. He doesn't seem disappointed and wants to show what he can do when he will gain some minutes.

Much better attitude from Nando this time around. Even if he doesn't really feel this way, it's much better than saying anything in public like last season. He's just got to keep working. Even if he doesn't get a chance on the court, he can still do the work for himself and improve his own game.
