TP interview

[lefty]

He is going to NY

[Cane]

Imo it was no real surprise that Tony Parker would remain patriotic and want to play for France after this offseason, I think he said as much earlier as well. Also according to that Sports Illustrated article 2-3 weeks back and David Aldridge, Parker has already declined contract extension talks FWIW.

100 shots a day for a month and a half?

Doesnt Kobe do a 1000 shots a day every day for life

Yea that number seems low, maybe its a slip up from Tony in the interview. Or if he's doing these shots: "He hired a 6.11 player to force me practice rainbow shots"; then its a little more understandable. Sounds like he's trying to get some of Rondo's crazy off the glass shots and that kind of practice would be pretty tiring.

[Parker2112]

After the injury he gets a bye.

Start of the season his shot was awful. I couldnt understand why, because he had just spent part of his summer playing for France. You would think his shot wouldve been falling but at seasons start, the shot was way off.

That says a lot, because summers are where you raise your game. Or not.

How’s your preparation doing ?
Since August 1st, I’m in Los Angeles. I practice 3hrs a day and I scrupulously follow the Spurs program. From 9 to 10.30 I practice shooting with Chip Engelland. He hired a 6.11 player to force me practice rainbow shots. Chip is away this week and Jacque Vaughn stood in for him. He joined the Spurs staff this summer. It’s gonna be nice to work with my former teammate. Anyway, I was lucky to play with different players this month like Mike Dunleavy Junior, DeJuan Blair or Brent Barry. It was very rewarding.

What a dirty trick. They should have gotten someone taller. You don't learn much shooting rainbows over JV.

let it go

[romain.star]

He is going to NY

hope so

[Parker2112]

When Kobe was developing his jumper he'd spend his offseason making 2,000 shots a day. Not taking. Making.

With one ball and one rebounder, Kobe can make 500 shots in about 60 minutes.

Kobe has the best shot I've ever seen, bar none.

6-24

[Parker2112]

Kobe is entering his "last legs" phase.

[portnoy1]

in '09 we will never know if his shot was still there, because he spent all his time driving to the cup.

I remember 08-09. His jumpshot was really good, thats why he was able to get to the cup so much in the first place. They would set up behind the screen and he would hit pretty consistently. The only other time I see him hit that many jumpers was during the first round series against the grizzlies in 04'.

This is all that was necessary for this thread. You didn't need to post all that. Tired of seeing so many threads turn into Kobe threads.

100 a day is actually pretty pathetic, I do that just fooling around before pickup games lol

[portnoy1]

How many did George Hill take? Thats the question that we should be asking. Parker should follow that pattern. Look at the difference that george hill made in a season on simply his 3pt shot alone.

Message to Tony:
Unless you: 1. pick that number up over 1000; or 2. are willing to lie about your summertime shot count, then please stop telling us about your summer workouts and plans to play for the NT in press.

Now you want to tell me what and how to post.

I know I should apologize, but regret wasting a few minutes of my life reading all that.

it peaked and went away again. Last year his jumper looked like it did his first few years in the league.

You seriously didn't notice?

Ummm, after our 2007 championship, he became our go-to player when it comes to getting a big jumpshot to go down. He closed out Phoenix in 08 with two big jumpers, hit a HUGE jumper in game 7 against NO when the rest of the Spurs were choking, and hit HUGE jumpers late in all the home games against Dallas last year. Quit blindly hating.

check the percentages. he dropped from like 48 to 42%.

some posters should read the posts of other ST members before posting:

It's just a bad translation.

The original sentence is: "Quand on shoote plusieurs centaines de fois par jour depuis un mois, il y a obligatoirement une amélioration"

The correct translation is:
"When you shoot many hundred times a day for a a month, there is automatically an improvement"

[Kori Ellis]

It's amazing how many people didn't read Bruno's post and just continued to bash Parker because of a bad translation

He said MANY HUNDRED TIMES A DAY.

[DPG21920]

TP is going to have a beast of a year. If the Spurs are going to have a chance, it will be because TP is going to play out of this world. Of course the Spurs will need many other players to step up and a few surprises (Anderson, Tiago, Blair...), but TP will beast.

He said an hour and a half a day.

pretty weak.

[DesignatedT]

Spurs go as far as TP takes them this year. People need to realize this.

This assumes none of the young guys has a break out year. This assumes that Timmy wont be a new man with reduced minutes following Splitter Addition.


Besides: for one, he has to produce...its a contract year; for two he is gone after this year. He is pushing the issue at every turn, talking about playing with France from here out, talking like he is one and done in interviews.

Let him perform for us this year, but he is not coming back.

[JWest596]

Still one of the quickest s driving in the paint.

Unless a kitchen sink is thrown at Parker, IMO, he's a Spur as long as Duncan is here. This could be Duncan's last year as every season from here on out could be.

The Dark Days are coming sooner than later
