ADD THIS TO YOUR TOP 3 REASONS WHAT PARKER NEEDS TO DO:
4. Parker needs to watch a lot of film of John Stockton, Steve Nash, Magic, and Isiah to get an idea of how true point guards play the game. Hell who knows...maybe he could fly out to Utah and have Stockton mentor and teach him some things.
How many of those "True PG's" have a ring?
And don't make an excuse that they didn't have a TD type of player. Nash had Dirk and Nelson back in the day wasn't a shabby coach. Dirk may not be TD, but he is still a great second.
Stockton had Malone--who some argue was even a better PF than Duncan.
Yet none of those "true PG"s" got 2 rings....so the kid must be doing something right.
Pop has said that he doesn't want Parker to be the next Stockton and that he understands that for the SPurs to be successful, Parker needs to push the ball, score, and not TO the ball so much. The first 2 he does fine, he just needs to work on that last bit more.
:lol he's never the best player on the floor.Quote:

Pop had to come out and say "Please have patience with Parker, 'cause Manu has patience with him." :lol

Then the Serbian descendant thanked in spanish "Gracias Argentina" he screamed and he even joked around: "There will be some retouches on the team, but be calm, Manu will stay". They left Bahiense and went to Shopping Paseo del Sol. In the parking lot, around 4500 people dared the cold and were present, in front of a stage setup for this event. There was a rap show and tango until Manu went up with a popular ovation. "I feel like everywhere I go, I've been taken as an adoptive son, but I know I belong here" The chant of MVP, MVP as well as the Booing for Tony Parker. Pop had to come out and say "You have to be patient with him, because Manu is patient with him."
Fine, at least Pop agrees Manu is patient. Not that they could get along otherwise.
I don't get it, why would they boo Parker if he wasn't even there and his name wasn't even mentioned?
And that's weird, I highly, highly doubt Pop would say something like "be paitent with him because Manu is" to a huge crowd of FANS.
They booed him because they believe the bullshit some people posts that Parker denies Ginobili the ball.
They don't support the Spurs, they are Ginobili's fans, wherever he will be they will follow him.
I agree, the article itself is confusing. But I don't think the writer made it up out of the blue.
I'm confused at the reason why some Argentine fans dislike parker. I guess because he denied Manu the ball sometimes? turnovers? he is french?? he looks like Dr. Brain from Pinky+brain?? I don't know.
I am not doubting that the crowd booed Parker...he is the anti-Christ afterall :)Quote:

TP needs to ...
1) Shoot only when he is hot, otherwise
2) Pass the ball
3) Make a CD, he has future in Music Industry
4) Use :fro
How would he know he's "hot" unless he shoots?Quote:

He said it 1Parker1, noone lied. I saw it on TV. Plus this is a prestigious Argentinian sports newspaper, they usually fact check their articles like any self respecting newspaper.Quote:

Still, people who really know about basketball realize that's not the case.Quote:

With Pop there, there'll never be a rivalry between Manu + Parker. That's why Pop >>>>> Phil Jackson
Parker not wanting to pass the ball to Manu (wether be true or false) is not the only factor here. I have a lot of opinions on TP but cannot be sure they're thinking exactly the same.
And for the record... TP is not even loved in France. And I mean "basketball people", not just fans.
Manumania, if people doesn't agree with you, it doesn't necessarily means they don't know about basketball... Remember, Bahia Blanca is Argentina's home of basketball afterall. :)
I agree they would feel too passionate on this subject, tho.
:oops Good question, let's see .. what about missing 4 shots in a row???Quote:
