I agree! Parker is young and he's has the potential to become the best point guard in the NBA. He's only 23 years old and has two NBA Championships rings. Who else you know have the same? I believe he's playing for the French team, this summer, not only because he loves the game, but, because he's trying to enhance his skills to become a better player next season. Not to mention, I believe the French is paying him a lot of money. But you didn't hear it from me.

even though i disagree with his choice of women (he should be out patrolling SA's highschools for the hottest 18 yr old while he's still young enough to take advantage without getting bad publicity), tony parker is a real good player and should become great
Good call on the high school girls, got me laughing.
I don't know why anyone would give him a hard time about playing for France, as it is his home country. How much garbage was said of many NBA players who don't represent the US. He's a free man, until you put it in his contract. He doesn't need to be an all star. All I want is for him to remain confident, and be a threat that the other team must worry about. Solid defense is a plus.

Also...wasn't he one of those that gave up on the Spurs during the Seattle series?

It's not a matter of physical growth or development, but skills and mental development.
He should be hitting his stride as a complete player after all this experience and pressure. If he'd come into the game at 21, he'd be 25 now and we'd expect him to be peaking and relatively secure in his game. If he can't get to the All-Star level this coming year, he probably never will. There are lots of PGs out there who made it to the status of 'good' players but never made themselves into great players.
look how old was nash when he got to his best game
