Tony Parker has spent the last week mentoring Lonnie Walker

:cry After ordering Pop to stop sending Dejounte to Austin and demanding he start, now this...

Truly the best international guard to ever wear silver and black. Others spend their time making podcasts with Diaw, Shitter, and the wombat.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Looks like Lonnie has a sweet pad. That front porch is amazing.

[TheGreatYacht]

Been on here for years and I still don’t know how to properly link IG posts smh. If someone else could post Lonnie’s post, I’d appreciate it :tu

[exstatic]

Hopefully, he imparted some Pop coping advice to the youngster. Lonnie just looked sad and beaten this year. Almost never saw him smile.

In that a large part of Parkers ability to take it to the rack was his speed.

But LWI4 has speed. Surely Parker can toss him some tips.

Better him than DeRozan. Hell better current Tony than DeRozan. I lost count after EIGHT times Pop drew up that exact play for DeRozan only for him to brick the game winner or go ahead basket.

DeRozan is a victim of not having TD and Manu next to him to bail him out, tbh... he'll look like MJ with this team in '03-'09....

No disrespect to Tony, tbh, but we all know what happens when you have Kemba instead of the big two next to him.

brah Tony put us up 5 with like 27 seconds left in the 4th quarter. He was a victim of having Manu. I can only forgive one Manu blown ring opportunity, not two. So cross out 2006 but that still leaves 2013

What you're saying is Tony couldn't close the deal... and you were expecting 42 year old Manu to bail him out again. He also needed TD who was benched by Pop.

Just be grateful Manu and TD had one more run in them a year later, tbh

Mr 8 turnovers came back with a vengeance, dunked all over Bosh, and orchestrated one of the more lopsided wins in NBA Finals history, tbh... this while Parker couldn't even score until the 4th quarter being guarded by Mario Chalmers.

The contrast of the guy that will take you to the finish line and the guy who won't is pretty clear. Again, no disrespect to Tony...

I know we won in 2014 but losing 2013 really ticked me off since Duncan is my favorite Spur. Ginobili cost Duncan a huge chunk of his all time legacy. Duncan would’ve won Finals MVP that year putting him at 4 and I believe second all
time in that regard. He also would’ve been 6 for 6 something that only JordaN has done and would have one more than Kobe. Tim won that 5th ring a year later, but he didn’t get the Finals MVP and he now has a stain on his Finals record all thanks to Ginobili.

Also Parker was being guarded by Lebron not Chalmers.

Arguing over Manu and TP brings back memories of good times.

I thought that was Kawhi who missed the FT

Missing shots happens; you let it go and alea jacta est

But Pop had control over his rotation; leaving your defensive anchor, best rebounder and leader was retarded - no excuse

Manure was the one who put Kawhi in that position by missing his free throw first. You are right though it is Pop’s fault with his rotation. He never should’ve played a non clutch 8 turnover shooting guard in Manure when he had a better option in T-Mac on the bench. That’s the only way you can blame Pop bc if Manure makes his free throw it doesn’t matter about a damn rebound.

2013 isn't on Manu. It's on Pop. Idiot forgot the team still needs to rebound the ball.

I will admit that Manu had a large role in why we lost in 2013, but let's also point out nephew choking free throws to ice the championship, Pop benching TD when we needed a rebound, and that maybe '14 doesn't happen if '13 doesn't happen.

I'm just glad Mand and TD could overcome such a shitty situation and win it the next year. I should also mention '14 was the last good year for Pop, IMO

tp's advice: "when you're on the bench and your team is making a comeback without you, just pretend like it doesn't bother you. you'll get used to it. i dealt with it a lot. regular seasons, POs, even the finals."

I should also mention '14 was the last good year for Pop, IMO 2014 was a redemption story unlike many in sports. Talk about a script no one would believe. It will be a movie before it's all over. 2014 was just off the chart and yes you could argue '14 doesn't happen without '13.

I thought the refs not letting the Spurs rebound the ^%$ing ball after the Ray Allen 3 really was the death knell, but we had OT and another game to pull it out.

Part of me is actually okayish with 13 because 14 happened, it was so beautiful for a variety of reasons

[wildbill2u]

Tony was amazing at scoring while in the paint among the bigs. Somehow he'd find a way to spin from coverage or find a window to put up the shot. Not just speed but clever footwork as well. IMO he never got as many foul calls as he deserved.

[spurs10]

Part of me is actually okayish with 13 because 14 happened, it was so beautiful for a variety of reasons I'm with you! I was there June 15, 2014 and it felt surreal to see that going down. It's almost like you need '13 for the 'movie' to be triumphant. Like Rocky has to get his ass kicked a few times to make winning mean anything!

Tonight I'll be watching Game 5 in '05. The hits keep coming!

Spurs never care about such things. He was 6’2” when drafted at age 19, but by the 2003 Finals was the same height, 6’4”, as JKidd.

Yeah I mean it hurts because we were so close, and it probably hurt some guys legacy too (Idc bout it honestly, and I think they don't either, but casual fans would always bring it up), but the comeback was just so sweet, with such a likeable group of guys, Timmy having another great season, Manu bouncing back after many people Spurs fans included thought he was finished, so many iconic moments and plays throughout the whole run and the chance the guys got to reedem themselves against the same team (and not only they did it, they destroyed em)
You just can't make this up, it was special

[phxspurfan]

Parker did just fine in 2008-2012, the era where we could have easily won another 1 or 2 rings, if we didn't cheap out on getting a long SF and strike out with Dick Jefferson

[Seventyniner]

IMO, Parker was at the peak of his powers in 2012-2013.

I think part of the 2009-2011 "doldrums" (though still rather successful by the standards of almost any other franchise) was due to Duncan and Manu starting to decline and Parker not hitting his peak yet. That and Dick Jefferson of course.

Lol, Tony literally finished off the Heat in 2014 (not to mention he led the team in scoring in the Finals as well as leading them in points & assists throughout the RS & playoffs as usual...and being the only All-Star and only All-NBA player on the team in 2014).

Oh, and of course it was Parker who has the better-than-MJ sequence to finish off G6 in 2013 by hitting the step-back 3 over LeBron to tie the game, stealing it from LeBron, and hitting the spinning floater to put the Spurs ahead in the last minute before Kawhi and Manu bricked their free throws.

Oh, and of course it was Parker who came through in 2014 in the only elimination game (G7 against Dallas) by scoring 30+ as usual. But yah, Parker never comes through when it matters.

Actually in the 4th quarter he closed it out so his teammates couldn’t choke it away again like they did in G6. Not sure if you remember, but the Spurs were up 13 in that game (10+ in the 4th) and choked it away. Parker made sure that didn’t happen again.

Derek has it for one game against Denver in the playoffs. Was supposed to develop with Team USA. Then got benched in favor of Murray and never looked the same
