so far today he has 21 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists 0 turnovers in 20 minutes off the bench. In a landslide win against the Pistons, and with much higher efficiency then Kemba. Man, if only the Spurs were in the lEast this past decade, they would be the GOATs like LeBrown Jones lol
just watching him it looks like he's finally lost the extra weight.
Maybe the shock of a new team jolted him out of his laziness.
He turned Porker for the start of 14-15, and surprise surprise he's averaging his best stats since before Porker in 13-14
Highest points per 36, highest assists per 36 (of career even) and highest PER since 13-14
I've never understood that. Even if you pigged three meals a day, how could you be pudgy playing basketball almost every single day? Especially given his playing style
maybe lack of sleep?
I think his weight gain was timed with having children. Maybe they don't live with him in Charlotte and stayed in SA, or maybe they're old enough that they're not crying all night
A thoughtful post on SpursTalk. What the is going on?
better true PG than any spur guard, injured or not.
just a little human biology analysis. Nothing major
I think it has more to do with the ruptured quad injury and rehab to get back into playing shape rather than a change of scenery. He was pretty light on his feet last year but just wasn't very effective.

That goes without saying but the Spurs don't have a true pg to compare him to.
It's not surprising that Tony is playing well, though I expect he will be inconsistent because he has a lot of mileage. But everyone should have expected that he'd be better this year than last. Last season, he was coming off the type of injury that ends most careers.
It kinda is because Tony was playing inconsistent to down right bad dating back to 2015.
I'll admit that I thought Parker was washed up but good for him. I'm happy for him that he's having a resurgence. He definitely deserves it after all the bs he went through with Kawhi and the media last year.
He put in a lot of work tbh. Getting "cut" by the Spurs probably added to his motivation. It's good to see him doing so well. I miss Tony
He’s trying to show he still got game so
Tony Parker is Steph Curry's traffic cone.
This is what I thought, and it is what I put it down to. He came off of a major injury last year and if he was healthy, I thought he'd have a better season this year. I didn't want to keep him because I wanted the Spurs to play Dejounte, Derrick White and also Lonnie, but if I had of know before the season that Dejounte would go down, I would have wanted to keep Parker. If those guys never got injured, then I would have still wanted the Spurs to let TP go. I also thought TP should have went to a team that had a chance to compete. I thought he'd go to the Lakers as Lebron usually likes vet PGs, especially ones with Championship experience.
i always said he should go east.
he's put up numbers against the heat, bulls, pistons.
no reason he should be on the spurs.
Not really surprising. He's got a bigger role, and people forget he's a 4x champ and a HOFer. Love seeing him do well.
Glad for him.
east is real bad, even Oladipo looking like a star over there
He's French and the wine alone will keep your calorie intact up!
Oladipo is a good player and Indiana sonned the Spurs pretty good when they played this season.
He's French and the wine alone will keep your calorie intact up!
He got married to a great woman and had kid/s (not sure if multiple). Of course he's probably eating well and gaining weight. That French diet too, probably

Tony Parker has 24 points, Hornets beat Pistons 113-103
DETROIT (AP) Most of the stars of the 2005 NBA Finals have been out of the league for several years.
Tony Parker, is still beating the Detroit Pistons.
Sunday, he faced them for the first time as a member of the Charlotte Hornets, but the results weren't any different. The 36-year-old scored 24 points in 28 minutes off the bench to lead Charlotte to a 113-103 victory.
''That's what Tony does. I'm just surprised that he never loses any of his speed and quickness,''
(...)
''(Tony) is a leader,'' said Kemba Walker, who had 24 points and seven assists. ''He brings passion and the winning at ude. He just knows how to win.''
Love how the official NBA recap highlights "Kemba Walker 24 points" (36 minutes). It doesn't mention Parker also had 24 points in much fewer minutes.
