Porker Looking Like Parker Again, Tbh

Doing a shoot for Men's Health-France. Slimmest I've seen him look in a while, tbh.

If Parker gets back and plays anywhere near 2013 MVParker... It's a wrap. :lobt2:

It was a tiger, Cry. A tiger that he stole from the wild and put into captivity and ate its cubs and pissed in its Cheerios.

Or so some PETA posters around here would have you believe.

An affluent guy from Europe who's never been to a soccer game? And just hearing a European call it soccer and not football :lol

I agree that a thinner Parker is that much better for us. I'm still distressed that he tried to play so much hero ball even when he was fat though.

[TXstbobcat]

So Timmy Boxes to stay in shape and Tony Wrestles Tigers.

He's close friends with Thierry Henry, so I'm sure he's been to football games before. He probably meant his first Scorpions game lol

[BatManu20]

He doesn't even have to return to his 2013 form, and I think that's unrealistic anyways. He just needs to not be a minus player. His dribble, dribble, dribble then throw up a contested jump shot shit from last season needs to disappear. Just play in the system and knock down your open looks. Don't be the hero. Thankfully LMA will be the #1 option this year so that should take some pressure off him immediately.

This right here. I actually think 2013 Parker is a terrible fit on the current Spurs. He just needs to facilitate more and like you said, shoot when he's open. The Spurs have too many weapons to settle for the Tony Parker system.

That's some dizzying logic tbqh. When Parker gets into the lane he's one of the most efficient players in the league. If he's improved his conditioning and the nagging injuries are in the past, he could return to being a top-5 PG in the west. I don't know why you root against that if you're actually a fan of this team.

If Parker is playing good that only means he's going to make play with his dribble dribble system...never a good thing.

But player fans would rather see parker dribble dribble as opposed to team play.

Wouldn't mind seeing him rest the whole season, IMO.

I don't blame him for being out of shape due to the hamstring. I blame him for playing hero ball all the time when he was fat. He had to make sure that he didn't sustain too much damage to his career averages. That's the difference between he and Manu. Manu is always team first.

He sets up the offense and keys good possessions with dribble-drive off pick and roll if he can get into the lane effectively. You just can't handle the fact that he can be an effective player and a key contributor because it goes against your tired narrative. Acting like Parker wasn't a big part of the 2014 run is another attempt at revisionist history to keep your delusion alive. Give it up dude.

I semi-bought to an extent last season. But truthfully, if Manu or Kawhi shows up in the last four games of that Clippers series, we still win the championship.

he sets up the offense :lmao

go as far as tp takes.

Spurs end up winnig the west without TP :lmao

Having TP is basically Charity in the spurs end, realistically, he's useless.

Right, he didn't force those EIGHT turnovers in Game 6 of the 2013 finals. Oh, I guess that's different because he fucked the team while trying to pass it instead of shoot it? Player-fan logic tbqh.

Because we closed out game 6 with him on the bench that must mean we would of been fine without him the whole season and playoffs. Flawless logic by you as usual. You may not like it, but Parker was pivotal to our championship run in 2014. Yes he sucked in 2015 and was a big reason we lost in the first round. But you must have a good ass drug dealer if you think that we win 5 with Cojo or Patty starting at point the entire playoff run.

[TheGreatYacht]

Game 6 vs OKC... Sure helps when you got RW chucking up from 40ft while the League MVP stands on the side with his hands up. Reggie fucking Miller even called him out.. That team was done.

oh so now the spurs playing better two years ago without TP is just a schtick?

What was he doing the next finals during game 5? shooting 1/11 when it mattered and then during garbage time he scored 7 in a row. so sad.

Reality: Has an atrocious playoff run and looks finished

Back in December, a few of us: Parker looks fat, he needs to lose weight, he's clearly out of shape

Of course, there are advanced stats for everything, eye tests are subjective... it wasnt his fault/he was hurt/he is good guy/season was too long etc.

Parker was an average, maybe slightly above average player in the 2014 playoffs according to virtually all metrics, tbh..

Anyway, if Parker bothers you than ignore these threads, they are not for you.

[Kikoluna]

I hope so. It blows my mind how a guy who gets paid to run is fat. If that were my job I'd be 168 pounds all the time.

[Spursmania]

Parker is not young anymore. He needs to treat his body like a temple and follow a pretty strict diet and physical regimen that Duncan has been doing for years to keep himself fit at his age. Parker forgets that although Tim and Manu are older than him, he's not too far behind them and he did look plenty out of shape this past year. It was evident to anyone watching Parker play. It's time for him to step it up this year.

In order to have a real shot of winning that 6th ring, Parker has got to steer that ship. From that pic, it looks like he's lost a good 5-10 pounds. It's a start!

Not what I recall. Towards the end, there were a few blind TP supporters, but most realized he was hurting the team, especially with the weight gain. Revisionist history.

Now most Spurs fans would be ecstatic to see him in shape. I don't care whether he's doing it for France, SA or both, as long as he stays that way. In shape TP > fat TP. End of story.

[Spursmania]

Yeah-Pop did say that. When he did, I was intrigued with what type of training Parker was going to do. I'd love to know what regimen he followed and of course, the diet he's been keeping. Wonder if he used any of Duncan's training methods like the boxing and/or swimming. No way he still eats that rich French food. I'm optimistic that he'll have a good year and bounce back. This is the Spurs' year.:toast

You still dont get it right? you can lead in scoring and assist while killing the team at the same time, his primary choice is score, his second is dribble dribble and consume the clock and when remains 3 seconds make a pass trying to get a free assist.
There are other cancers like Lillard and Kobe and they lead the team in scoring, I guess you see he scores and thats it he´s good.

It's pretty simple. He leads team in scoring and assists, they win a championship. What is it that I don't get? Enlighten me with your advanced statistics that show how he actually hurt the team while leading them in the two most important offensive categories to a dominant championship run.

This should be good.

You really think Mills is ready for 30 MPG? You think he is gonna get the team in its sets and run the pick and roll with Duncan or Aldridge? Or fucking McCallum?

Parker is a Spur, and I guarantee he's going to continue to be the main cog of this team for the foreseeable future. He's not going anywhere.

We all get it. He has not lived up to the lofty expectations that people have for him over the past couple seasons. Yes, the Spurs have managed to win games without him before. I'll even dismiss the injury card, because apparently all the haters do. Just like they dismiss his outstanding 2013 run and the fact that there would have been no 6 if Parker hadn't hit two of the clutchest fucking shots in Spurs history (not to mention the game winner in Game 1 in Miami).

He's not going anywhere. So you can continue to get your panties in a wad and wish for a trade that is never going to happen. Or you can show some goddamn respect for one of the Big 3 that has helped lead this team to 4 championships, and root for him to bounce back and make this squad even more ridiculously loaded.

[apalisoc_9]

Three things should happen about parker if the spurs is to win

1. He accepts a Prigioni role..

2. He gets benched

3. He gets injured for the rest of the season assuming his usage rate is top 4.

[apalisoc_9]

People still don't get it..

A healthy Tony is never going to accept a role.

If he's not accepting a prigioni role, he's always going to be detrimental.

Ignoring the faxt that he's detrimental to the team and to the development of the players around him..

If he's not going to accept a significant reduction in the offensive role, I wish and pray that he gets injured big time..Only bexause I am a team fan and the only thing that matters for me is the name in the front of the jersey and not back.

Accept a role, great..Don't, we wish you injury Mr Parker.

He led the team in calories burned in 2014. He was injured during the process of running other teams into the dirt. While attempting to defend the blistering pressure his offense applied, Lebron was himself fatigued, as were countless other defenders and teams along the way. The rest of the team carried him to the finish line. In 2013 he was in god-mode, garnering 3rd-best MVP considerations from national media. He has provided years of good basketball at that position. Although not without flaws like any person or player, he has been a great credit to the team, and I'm not even sure I like the guy, personally. It is partly because he was out of shape and injured that we were not as successful this year. You fuckups that choose to ignore all this can't really be helped. I don't know why anyone attempts to convince the wilfully ignorant.

My excuse is the dog needed to take a shit. What a symbolic coincidence that I come across some Apol, Mikeanro, HH, Fkla, etc. Parker takes. That big curler the dog laid ain't got nothin' on your Parker takes.

[Nathan89]

The main thing Parker needs to do is stop taking so many mid-range shots. Hopefully he can regain some speed so that he can get into the paint and score or dish. Parker is a great finisher but he needs that speed to take advantage of that skill. Just do anything but settle for mid-range shots(at least in the playoffs).

[apalisoc_9]

Just going to hope for the best going into the season. Hoping he doesn't tarnish my viewing experience this year. Which he will if he plays like last year.

[TE]

Parker will be better next year. He seems to be in better shape for a grueling 82 game season. Tbh, as long as the ball moves and he plays within the system, all is good. With LMA and Kawhi, we have our go-to guys. TP can play off them all day long. The spacing of this team will be fantastic. If Tony is back to at least 75% of his 2013 form, this team will be difficult to beat.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I'm excited to see Parker next year, he'll have a great season and he'll help the Spurs have the most balanced starting five in the league. Seriously with Parker, Green, Leonard, Aldridge, and Duncan, they're all threats to score in bunches. No player on this team that you can key on.

[Sean Cagney]

I semi-bought to an extent last season. But truthfully, if Manu or Kawhi shows up in the last four games of that Clippers series, we still win the championship.

Championship??? Slow down that was the first round. I agree though they should have won that series.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Um, Parker was notoriously good from 3 last year, while the rest of the team struggled, he shot 43% from 3. 4/5 of his last five years have been some of if not the best of his shooting from 3. 2003, he was not good from 3? 31-32%

Maybe you meant something else by "Parker has not had a 3 shot since 2003"?

It was a fluke and small simple size, He shots like 20% after the Allstar break..

[littlecoyotecoin]

No. Don't be dumb. The last 4/5 years, his 3 point shooting was better than almost every year in the previous of his entire 14 seasons. Only 2006-2007 did he shoot better than 3 of those four years, at .395. But, still not better than .427 last year. In 2003-2004 he shot .312 on more than double the attempts and 2002-2003 on triple the attempts of last year he shot .337. Not good shooting from 3, with his higher end attempts for his career, when Bryant is saying was the last time he had a 3 shot.

Now you are trying to say his 43% shooting doesn't count when it was 89 shots, an increase in attempts of about twenty over previous few years. A significant number. But then you also want to say that number is too insignificant while attempting to isolate an even smaller number, at the end of the season, after the all-star break, as evidence that he shot poorly?! Make some fuckin' sense.

I know. It's like 3:30 a.m. You are probably drunk or high as Hell. Just call it a night.

Minimizing the mid-range shot minimizes the direct damage and by eliminating that option forces him to do something more beneficial for the team. Also said I hoped that he could regain some speed to take advantage of his ability to finish in the paint which in the past he has been great at. My comment didn't even account for defense but that obviously needs to be improved.

Now you are trying to say his 43% shooting doesn't count when it was 89 shots, an increase in attempts of about twenty over previous few years. A significant number. But then you also want to say that number is too insignificant while attempting to isolate an even smaller number, at the end of the season, after the all-star break, as evidence that he shot poorly?! Make some fuckin' sense.

I know. It's like 3:30 a.m. You are probably drunk or high as Hell. Just call it a night.

I'm saying you still can't call tp a three point shooter, certainly not a good three point shooter, he didn't prove it...

[Gagongpalisoc]

:lobt2:

[Gagongpalisoc]

So he does this for team France but didn't care enough to do it on a potential repeat last year?

that fat POS is something eh..

Bet he's fat again after the eurobasket

bulol

[Gagongpalisoc]

Manu was never injured in road to 5..

Parker was injured and when he was the the team exploded.

Parker should rest the whole season or I should say rest the next three years

apalisoc should rest for the rest of his forsaken life.. bugok ka

[dgspursforlife]

This is going to be a long off season with the same takes getting repeated daily...

[LiSpurs516]

Unless Ray is a star in the making, we need to accept that Tony is an important part of this team. Without him we dont get Timmy 6, tbh. Tony being back in shape is definitely a good sign that he's serious about this season

[littlecoyotecoin]

I'm saying you still can't call tp a three point shooter, certainly not a good three point shooter, he didn't prove it...

That's not what you or Bryant said. Had you said that, I would have agreed. Tony is not a 3 point specialist. But, he has demonstrated that he definitely can transition his style of play later in his career to being a better 3 point shooter, and everything else that was said about his 3 point shot was incorrect.

Actually, now that I reread the second part of your statement, you didn't amend your statement as much as I thought with the "he didn't prove it". He did prove it. That's what all those numbers you two got wrong or want to ignore show. He has become a very capable 3 point shooter, while it still not being his primary weapon.

[jhfenton]

damn player fans are getting worse by the day.

POS
I couldn't agree more.



Whatever gives the team a better opportunity to win.

I'm all the about the team not the player.
:lmao No, seriously, I mean.... :lmao

[look_at_g_shred]

At this point, all these fans are no different than kobe fans.

we all know Kobe is detrimental to his team but he's never going be traded ever...does that mean as team fans, we should just accept the egomaniac?

oh he's going to be here forver so might as well respect him :cry

Ignoring the faxt that he's detrimental to the team and to the development of the players around him..

If he's not going to accept a significant reduction in the offensive role, I wish and pray that he gets injured big time..Only bexause I am a team fan and the only thing that matters for me is the name in the front of the jersey and not back.

Accept a role, great..Don't, we wish you injury Mr Parker.
Wow! What a dickhead.

I don't know if shooting great for 2-3 months with above 50% and then after the Allstar break returning to your formar self with shooting in the 20% is enough to prove it...

[littlecoyotecoin]

I don't know if shooting great for 2-3 months with above 50% and then after the Allstar break returning to your formar self with shooting in the 20% is enough to prove it...

He shot better the last 4/5 YEARS than he did the previous NINE years, except for one year where he shot .395. This is not a couple months that you are parsing out of his BEST year in some bizarre attempt to show that he didn't have his best year ever. If you pick your data correctly, you can show that he shot zero percent from 3. You're not trying hard enough.

He did have a shit year, but attacking his 3 point shooting exemplifies a complete lack of understanding that pervades your groups' arguments.

[AFBlue]

So vital that in '14 they won the West w/o him and clinched a title with him shooting 0-11 the first three quarters. Or won a game without him last year vs LA and in general just looked so much better without him on the court.

This myth that the Spurs need him is BS. They just need him to stay the fuck out of the way.

He led the team in scoring and assists during the playoffs. False narrative is false.

[AFBlue]

Well, he's vital, tbh... Pop is gonna trot him out there rain or shine and he's on an untradeable contract, especially if he keeps playing like last season...

So let's hope he regains some of his ability, or he "shows leadership" as Pop told him in the 2014 Finals, and gets out of the way...

Apa and his idiotic crew would rather Parker suffer a catastrophic injury and count on Ray McCallum and a tired old Ginobili to carry the load as primary ball handlers for the team. Great basketball minds tbqh.

[From Downtown]

We won't get far without TP having at least an average season,and the same goes for Kawhi,Manu,TD etc.
Accept that

[J_Paco]

:lol Spurs fans are pathetic, tbh..

Back in December, a bunch of us: Parker is on a clear decline, he's a net negative, etc
Most of the forum: OMGZ, shut up you guys!! stop killing our forum with these lies, he's gonna prove u all wrong!!!
Reality: Has an atrocious playoff run and looks finished

Back in December, a few of us: Parker looks fat, he needs to lose weight, he's clearly out of shape
Most of the forum: lulz, Parker is in great shape!!! y u guyz judging a pro athlete?!?!? hahah
After the Spurs were eliminated: Pop acknowledges Parker is going to "change his body", Parker plans to do an intense regiment for the first time in his career(in his own words), Parker gets slimmer and clearly loses at least 5 pounds, already

:lol most people here a few steps behind, tbh..it's also sad that this is celebrating, as Parker was being paid 13 million last year, and it was potentially the final shot at a title in the Duncan era, yet he didn't commit to staying in shape and adjusting to age..when it's time to play for France, of course he decides to get in the best shape of his career, too..sad that "fans" accept this shit, tbh..

Big f'ing deal, do you want a cookie for mentioning that stuff ad nauseum for the last 8 months? Before he took his long hiatus Timvp made a thread examining the link between scoring, speed based point guards (Kevin Johnson, Isiah Thomas, etc.) and a sharp, drastic decline they suffer in their early 30's. Parker has maintained a high level of play throughout a majority of his time in a Spurs jersey, even with the playoff "failures," but all the basketball he's played (amounting to the career of a 37+ old veteran) was going to catch up soon rather than later. We'll have to see how he compensates for the loss in speed/quickness and if getting in better shape (which was never, ever his strongest attribute) can help lessen the effect.

Dated January 1, 2012 http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=189358&highlight=Tony+Parker+Isiah+Thomas+Kevin+Johnson


In the following list, the first number is their age of statistical decline as defined by PER dipping under 20 for last time. The number in parentheses is their statistical peak based on PER.

Isiah Thomas - 25 (23)
Calvin Murphy - 26 (25)
Walt Frazier - 27 (26)
Tiny Archibald - 28 (24)
Pistol Pete Maravich - 29 (28)
Kevin Johnson - 30 (24)
Gus Williams - 30 (28)


Adding to his point that I quoted:

Tony Parker - 30 (26)

[dbestpro]

The key word for Parker and the Spurs in 2016 is, "focus".
The key phrase, "Your focus needs focus."

[Stabula]

So many faggots in here.

[Mikeanaro]

So many faggots in here.
Agreed, so many faggots trying to defend a 1 point playoff perfomer with no data to back up their claims, eye test divas... smh.

[K...]

wow, i thought Parker would be less radioactive after the season ends and the spurs got a big FA offseason haul. But nope. It's going to be 100% fun to troll y'all this year.


Look at what lame shit Apo is dragging up: 2014, fat, hates teammates, animal hurter. That's THREAD material there. LOL.

I expect Parker to be our 4rth best player this year. LMA, Kawhi, Duncan, Parker, Green, WEst. With Manu on a minutes restriction the spurs have no other playmaking guards. That's how he's head of the snake again.

[Mikeanaro]

Psss that snake has like 7 heads.

[spurraider21]

Legitimately curious to see if Parker adapts his game. Certainly hope so given that his extension just kicked in

[Spurtacular]

Championship??? Slow down that was the first round. I agree though they should have won that series.

The Clippers was the championship. We would have beat Houston. We most likely would have beat GS. And we would've crushed Cleveland. There's nothing to slow. Spurs blew golden opportunities in Gms 4 and 6 at home.

[Spurtacular]

That's the point.
He has been to plenty of "football" games as a Thierry Henry friend and a PSG fan. But he will at his first game of the shitty football played in the USA and that is called "soccer"

That's like a NBA fans that would say, I'll watch my first "FIBA" game

You could be right; but I doubt Parker was meaning to insult his American fans. I think another poster said it right; that he had meant to say that he was going to his first whatever that team was called game.

Then again, I wouldn't put it past Parker to be an uppity ass.

[Yuixafun]

Psss that snake has like 7 heads.
Spurs have become Tiamat.. Dragon with many heads... Cept not evil

I think Parker was being snarky too. Intentionally using the word soccer as a jab.... I've been to 3 Scorpions games, I had fun, but yea the quality of the game itself was impoverished lol

[Yuixafun]

Unfortunately, the one game of the series I was unable to see. Hopefully, someone posts a link of the game at some point.

Parker was in way better shape than everyone on this board when they were calling him Porker (and pretty much everyone in those Tweets). Now it's not even funny.
I wholeheartedly disagree.

[Mikeanaro]

I wholeheartedly disagree.
:cry You are hurting my hero MVPorker you are all ugly and will never dribble like him, I dont have any stat to help me but who cares MVPorker is the best since MJ, Manu and Duncan sucks they ruined our chances to repeat MVPorker is back you are all below 4 foot and I hate you.

[Yuixafun]

Unfortunately, the one game of the series I was unable to see. Hopefully, someone posts a link of the game at some point.

Man I was driving to a friends' house to watch the Pacquiao fight while tracking the game on my phone, but the last 6 or so minutes was getting intense, I needed to see it live, so I racked my brain for the closest Sportsbar I could think of, which was Roxy's across from Ingram.

On the drive we had been pulling away, but when I arrived the lead was gone. Game was so back and forth down the stretch, but there was some phantom call on Duncan that gave the Clippers free throws. Some other bullshit play for an easy basket for Clips. They lead by 2. Then Duncan gets a makeup call, but he has to hit both free throws..... And he does! I was so happy, cuz if he missed that was game over and Duncan ends his career like that I couldn't stomache it.

But then next play is the damn Chris Paul game winner banker, over Duncan but he defended it so well. Spurs get one last play.

Just as the play starts to run, the buzzer goes off inadvertently (yea right its Clippers home court) and they see our hand. Spurs run the same play and Kw is greeted by Barnes at the rim. So cheap man.

Only thing that didn't make it an absolute bummer was that all 3 bartenders were hot little petite latinas and there were some white hip hop ed hardy type chicks to commiserate with.

I wanted to punch the guy left of me... Cuz he was a fake Spurs fan, during the close he was saying the pc things, but he when Spurs lost he wasn't even upset, more like a restrained giddyness. He had this medallion coin thingie that he had one way, and when the Spurs came back to tie it up, I saw him flip it lol

[SASdynasty!]

Lol, they won the west without him. Wow. You mean they won one game where he missed the second half? Lol, won the west without him. Hahahaha.

Just so I have everything straight:

-If we win a game where Parker plays bad (you referenced the 0-11 start game), then we don't need him.
-If we lose a game where Parker plays bad, then it was his fault.
-If we win a game where Parker plays good, it was just one game.
-If we lose a game where Parker plays good, then his hero ball killed the team game.

I just want to make sure I have all the bases covered.

[Agloco]

Sorry to disappoint you. I dont like him and wont change my mind even his good plays hurts the team thats a fact he thinks he is a 6´2¨MJ what a pendejo.


If Parker is playing good that only means he's going to make play with his dribble dribble system...never a good thing.

But player fans would rather see parker dribble dribble as opposed to team play.

Wouldn't mind seeing him rest the whole season, IMO.

THE ROAD TO 6 involved an injury to FAT POS.

That was the road to 5, IMO.

Stupid personified.

[TheGreatYacht]

You are... my hero MVParker... MVParker is the best since MJ.
He's married, dyke.

I know he is married and I know he is bisexual too, thats the kind of people you admire?

They just need him to get out of the way. Either by faking injuries and quitting at halftime or by 'trusting his teammates'. When he's chucking and only connecting on 30% of those shots + he's killing the offense with his dribble dribble dribble he's not getting out of the way.

But happy for TP and the Spurs that he decided to get it in gear.

[SnakeBoy]

A fit and healthy Parker doesn't need to "just facilitate". Paint is going to be wide open for him with the stacked roster we got.

[Kikoluna]

Parkers fitness is the key to the championship. He needs to be 20 pounds lighter.

LMAO thinking you have to be ripped to be "considered" in shape:lmao
He looks like a normal 30 something year old dude who works out and doesn't do roids.
The truth is to get a body westbroke/Drob you have to have the genetics(naturally skinny body/High metabolism) and do a controlled diet cutting off a lot of foods, and steroids help massively with the fat burning. The truth is there no reason for any straight dude to do faggot shit to get a ripped body unless he's a model/actor or stripper because your ripped body is your money maker. NBA owners pay their players to put a basketball in a hole, not to make the cover of GQ. LMAO haters hating on Parker for his love handles. That flabby stomach had an MVP season that year along with the massively ripped Lebron James.

[Mnky]

You have to have a pretty bad diet to play in the nba and have a belly like that. I'm sure it's difficult eating properly wit all the flights and game times, but let's not get carried away. That belly is not normal gym material. Genes definitely help. I got fat boy genes, and its a battle for this fat boy to stay fit, but I still do it.
If you know what you're doing you don't have to work as hard. Parker obviously had a lot to learn. He definitely looks like he has tho. Bodes well for the spurs.

[callo1]

TP is already in phenomenal shape and he is going to have a solid 2016

[kobyz]

I hope he is not getting in shape too early...

[Kidd K]

True, but none of them were getting paid 8 figures a year to be in shape and play a sport either.
