tony prefers the new ball

[fred33]

on his show in france he said he adore the new ball he shoot better the free throw with the new ball. he also said if at the end of his contract manu tim and pop are gone he'll quitt the spurs for a big market team like new york miami la chicago

[Kori Ellis]

That was a pretty bad thing to say.

[ShoogarBear]

:corn:

[fred33]

he can't see play for the spurs without pop

[polandprzem]

:corn:


Is he eating Pop?




alive?

:oink

[Kori Ellis]

he can't see play for the spurs without pop

Well that makes more sense.

So he thinks Pop will leave when Timmy retires?

[batman2883]

tony knows nothing about basketball he should stick to french bread

[Solid D]

Tony is pretty blunt in his French interviews, as are the questions.

[fred33]

he thinks at the the end of his contract he will stay only him of the big three. and it was very clear if the spurs are not competitive without manu tim and pop he(ll quitt the spurs . he also said he adore san antonio

[nkdlunch]

my day is spoiled thinking about a Spurs team w/no Duncan

[timvp]

Knowing the Spurs, they'll trade TP before he'd be able to "quit" them.

[50 cent]

I really don't blame Tony. Would you want to stay in SA if Timmy, Pop and Manu were gone when you could enjoy living in a high profile city like LA or NY?

I wouldn't be suprised to see Tony wind up in LA with Kobe after Tim and Pop retire.

And I definitely think Pop retires the day that Tim decides to hang them up.

I guess tp likes to play with manu :spin

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

What if we have other good core players by the time they're gone?

[cheguevara]

it's an interesting dilemma.

I say if TP leaves before Bowen, he is an asshole. But if TD, Manu, Bowen and Pop are all gone, I don't see anything wrong with him leaving

[Kori Ellis]

What if we have other good core players by the time they're gone?

Then I'm sure he would stay here.

Right now he's probably envisioning himself and a bunch of scrubs. :dizzy I'm sure the Spurs will have another very good player next to Tony by then.

[Bruno]

A transcription of what he has said :

" After this contract, I will have played 10 years with Spurs and I will be 28 years old : I will look at the diferent options. If Tim, Pop and Manu aren't here, it's not sure that I will stay but for the moment everything is fine, I love SA and I will stay in SA. It's true that in 5 years, we can't know what will happen and if everybody is retire, I will still want to win a title."

[Solid D]

The day the Spurs lose Pop, TP, Manu and Tim is the day the Spurs will finally sign a decent long SF. :smokin

[Bruno]

BTW, one of Parker's goal is to be a 80% free throw shooter this year.

[ducks]

5 years from now
spurs will have money
will spurs make tp the franchise
if so I would think he would stay
then he can go after a fa

[E20]

I can't believe Tony likes the new ball. Maybe his hands are smaller that's why.

[ploto]

I have heard some think it is more like the FIBA ball.

[Obstructed_View]

I have heard some think it is more like the FIBA ball.
Since the NBA was the only league left in the world using a leather ball, the new NBA ball is now more like the ball used by everyone else.

[boutons_]

...

yep, he didn't say it. :)

[ShoogarBear]

Um, it appears he didn't actually say it.

[E20]

Um, it appears he didn't actually say it.
I knew it, he would never like that new ball.

I ain't quittin you!!! (or whatever the hell that line was in the preview for "that movie") :lol

[GrandeDavid]

The day the Spurs lose Pop, TP, Manu and Tim is the day the Spurs will finally sign a decent long SF. :smokin

The day the Spurs lose those guys is the day we fans are going to be grateful that we got some championships, possibly four or five, out of that stellar era.

:lmao :lmao

[ObiwanGinobili]

I don;t know why people would be expecting tony to just automaticly re-sign with us after his 10yr contract is up - unless it made sense for his career.
If TP is the only current main guy left and he wants to go someplace else, more power to him.
I don;t know what level of loyalty ya'll are expecting, this isn;t a marriage people.

[Bruno]

Bruno you still don't have an icon?

Open you eyes, Poland. :)

BTW, thanks Kori.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Do they even have eyes in poland? :spin

[Bruno]

Parker likes the new ball because it sticks more to the hand than the old one.
He can now palm the ball with one hand while he can't do it with the leather ball.
Shooting is easier too because the grip on the ball was better.
He has said too that it's not a big deal, a ball is a ball and that he hasn't speak about the new ball with other players.

[polandprzem]

Open you eyes, Poland. :)

I see it now man :tu

Obi - :toast


hey I wonder if Slomo can do a gold $ icon :santahat

So he likes it cause it's easier NOT to pass? :smokin
