I'm curious...did Tony Sr. give an indication of how he thought the interview went, afterwards?

Thanks. He actually thought it was great. It went so well at WOAI that Leslie Bohl-Jones did a brief interview with him right afterward (and used some of my questions :lol) for The Living Show.

I had cleared the personal questions with him beforehard to make sure that nothing was out of line. He didn't know which basketball related questions I was going to ask and he told me repeatedly that he was impressed by my research, etc.

He's a good man. We talk often at games and he's a big fan of Kori Ellis/Round Tables/SpursZONE. :)

When we went out to lunch we had an opportunity to talk a lot more basketball (and other stuff), he's a very intelligent, opinionated man who has brought his boys up right. Props to him (and Tony's mother) in that regard.

For some strange reason I couldn't get the video to play.

hey all

uhm.... whenever i try to see something at woai.com it just says loading and doesnt actually start working

any ideas why? (and yeah; i have that x control thingie or whatever it wanted for me to download ;) (

i would be very grateful if someone could help me out with this

i love to watch post gaem interwievs etc

Jeez, where else are you going to get an inside interview from Tony Parker's Dad!?

Dad looked a little nervous at times but a good smile will always remedy an awkward situation. Definitely an intelligent man, so its not hard to see what makes Tony Parker a good point guard.

Great interview!

I don't know why, but please email [email protected] and tell him the problem. Let him know what type of computer/operating system you have and he should help you resolve it.

Tell him that I told you to email him.

Probably a codec problem or maybe a pop-up blocker problem? What kind of internet browser are you using? Have you updated it? Also, make sure you have the latest DivX codecs (even if WOAI doesn't use DivX, it's still useful to have them) and make sure you have the latest DirectX.

I must watch the videos on IE cause on Opera it is not working.

Very nice interview Kori!!! I thought you looked great and it definately showed that you had done your homework. I definately liked the question Which member of the Spurs do you look forward to see play, unfortunately he didn't quite answer that question, BUT I was pleased to know that he feels his style is much like Manu's.
So who are you gonna interview next?

great interview Kori

It's pretty sweet to see you develop Kori.
Offcourse I never heard you do UCLA radio, but I am pretty sure you never had the spotlight (a dusty cloud hoovering over you) over there in Lalaland than you got right now over here in SA!

Keep up the good work.
Next interview GOT to be with D-Rob!

:princess HEY KORI! UR SUCH A PRETTY NICE BABY, THANKS, VERY NICE ONE.... IT LOOKS LIKE TONY IS A RAPPER AND HIS DAD IS AMAZING COWBOY...IT JUST A COMPLEMENT.....HIHIHI

No, it would saying "loading" and then nothing. I'm going to try on another computer later.

EDIT: Seems to be the same problem Kamnik is having.

Then fix it!!! I asked you about this at Scott's when we played poker. I don't have problems viewing videos on other sites, so I don't understand why the ones on WOAI aren't Mac compatible.

Same with me. I can hear it just fine but I get no picture.

If you are using a PC and Explorer you shouldn't be having any problems. The videos don't work in Mac or on Firefox as far as I know.

You need to email [email protected] to help you.

Great interview, Kori, I really enjoyed it.

I've done that, but he never has answered. I'll just hassle him at the GTG on Friday. :lol Maybe he and Slomo can talk some shop and come up with a solution.

Kori, Since we can hardly see anything like that with Timmy, do you think you could get an interview with Tim like that?

About his real thoughts on SA, D-Rob, his legacy, growing up, his thoughts on Tony's rapping :lol, . I usually hear and see his story being told by others.

Maybe you could get an insightful interview with him. Just curious. Manu and Tony would be good to.

great interview Kori, you obviously did your homework! :clap

I know that you've emailed him.
