Tony Parker denied service at Memphis restaurant

[DesignatedT]

Tony should on this place in his postgame presser after we win. That would make them think twice about that decision.

[TheGoldStandard]

I guess they take 4 hours to eat there meals.. , it'll be a 30 to 45 minute wait.

[Reck]

The restaurant was full drama queens

He could have gone into spinning mode.

[doldrums]

The thread is misleading. The Tweet above clearly indicates Tony was denied service because the restaurant was full -- not because he's the Grizzlies' opponent.

exactly, but why should anyone spend any time obtaining facts before they post, when they can spew mindless kneejerk uninformed reactions?

[SupremeGuy]

Then why would he tweet that we don't bluff crap? This made a mess, I hope TP bangs his wife. lol

It intimates that, but it doesn't clearly indicate it.

That may have been the case, but then why tweet #wedontbluff

They could have easily avoided any drama by leading off with this tweet and leaving it at that. Now it just sounds like they are back pedaling.

There was an article about Zach Randolph tweeted about where he can possibly find a nice restaurant to eat before game 1, had no complaints so far, so maybe had a good time eating in San Antonio

[Spursfanfromafar]

its just a sport..and a man gotto eat at a restaurant.. Such stupidity these days, I tell you in the world.

[wildcardX]

DAMN YOU MEMPHIS! You gone and pissed off the Frenchman. All he wanted was a burger, how hard is that?

I call BS on the "Our restaurant was full comment." If that's the case the restaurant's twitter account wouldn't have tweeted "We don't bluff."

Zbo would be more than happy with burger king tbh...

This. Seems like they're just back peddling to me now... es.

If I were a professional athlete, I would never eat at a restaurant, especially not one in a rival city. What if someone deliberately puts steroids or something in your food to make you test positive?

So you'd eat lunch meat and trail mix.

Tony should play the race card.

I certainly hope that San Antonio's business owners don't respond in kind.

, when Clyde and Duck and Porter and those guys were in town, we'd get them drunk on the house and they didn't mind. The opponent never paid for alcohol at our place the night before the game.

[Trainwreck2100]

i don't see the tweet with the "we don't bluff"

[jesterbobman]

I'll be happy if no one pulls a Suzie the Waitress on the Spurs.

Maybe he put up the #wedontbluff because TP was being a prima-donna when he was turned away? I mean, maybe he busted out the classic arrogant celebrity card of "Do you know who I am?" I highly doubt it because that is so un-Spurs like but then again, he did bang another man's wife while already married to a even hotter wife of his own.

You can't imagine a situation in which the restaurant was legitimately full, and Parker didn't want to wait around so they left. And when the owner was asked about it via twitter, he saw it as an opportunity to create good will with the locals by posturing that he had told Parker to off. Seems perfectly imaginable to me. Non story.

Yeah, this seems the most likely scenario.

Parker bout to all over Memphis.

If he has enough ammunition.

[gameFACE]

Backpedaling

I really hope someone asks one of the players or Pop about this after the game.
