is not only Tony, I can honestly say that the whole team is like that, I've seen Timmy and Manu helping other players

[Fireball]

he helped up Erin Berry as well ...

[MmP]

tim tried to help harden up in one point of the game as well, i don't see manu doing that tbh

[Mugen]

it'd be classy if it was a dead ball. Can't say I'm a fan of him doing it during live play.

[ViceCity86]

You can be classy and a hornball at same time.
A man is only faithful as his options.

I am even conflicted about doing it during deadballs. Your wasting some of your precious energy to help the other team and thereby helping them save energy.

Ya I have seen Timmy doing it in the Utah and Clippers series too.

Think tony had help his friend chris paul in the Clippers series too.

Never really see Manu do it though.

good point. i just wasted time and energy agreeing with you.

I saw that during the game, I even had to rewind it to show my brother who miss it, even though we were watching the same big screen.

Meh...I'd be more of a fan if he'd save that for a dead play. I think he thought the Spurs had it in the bag and his natural instinct was to give him a hand up.

[timvp]

Tbh, with the way Westbrook was shooting, I would have helped him up too.

I remember Drob trying to help someone up during a game (Spurs were in transition break after a turnover) and Larry Brown went ballistic on the sidelines - dropped F-bombs the Admiral's way. Get the F! down the court!!! LOL. I have to agree with that sentiment. Let the opposing players get up on their own.

There's nothing classy about it at all. I agree about the Manu statement earlier too. You won't likely catch him doing any of that. It's not in his DNA.
Tim does it all the time. If you hit or knock someone to the ground unintentionally, I get it. It's only natural to lend a hand, but being overly friendly to your opponent isn't necessary.

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

I took it as a sign of dominance and pity. RW was probably embarrassed and/or humbled...or maybe not at all.

[spursince#99]

I mean we had already won and the game was over. Westbrook played a huge part in us winning and for the game being over at that point so why not help him up? After all like I said, he did help us right? :lol

[LoneStarState'sPride]

I think Tony's just cool like that, tbh. Nothing calculated or trying to show off his classiness or whatever--just helping a fellow professional to his feet in the heat of battle, and goes right back to defending. Props to Parker.

[OZWIN]

Yeah the entire Spurs team is classy...Parker proving it yet again. They were up though...almost like it was a classy statement heading into game two...need some help? :lol

[ShoogarBear]

He was just preventing Westbrook from doing another drama queen scene.
