Duncan/Manu were still all star level players at age 37. Guess the big 3 couldn’t go 3/3 on all of them aging gracefully.
Some Stephen Jackson tbhweird, apparently the spurs didn't even make an offer until after tony told borrego to make him an offer:
also tony: "I don't want to finish being on the bench and not playing."

Tony turned back the clock in the playoffs in 2017, but his injury was no joke. It has been a career-ender for better players than Tony.
He's had his moments this year. I think he needs to just do the farewell tour next season and let the league shower him with tribute videos and autographed jerseys.
Lol Manu was a bench warmer most of his career who made 2 All-Star teams and had 8 turnovers in the most important game of his career. Gracefully, lol.
Even if Charlotte made the playoffs, it wouldn't be to Parker's credit. He's merely Kemba Walker's bench warmer.
Looks like Tony ed a lot posters girls in this thread... hehe, well done kid.
He's still played 2 more games than the nephew
25% that blistering three point shooting. While taking more attempts then the past two years with the Spurs. Way to evolve.
Kirby Bryant at 28% in his final glorious year.
Porker had about 20 really good games with the Hornets this year, got to give him that. Coming back from that type of injury is impressive.
Either way Parker is a legend.
I know it’s your schtick but I don’t remember Manu being DNP-CD when healthy at age 37. For a non playoff team nonetheless
another W for CHA.
Parker flies back with Spurs for Ginobili's jersey retirement
Despite being in the middle of a playoff push with his current team, Tony Parker isn't missing the chance to honor an iconic member of his old one.
On the same night his Hornets gutted out a much-needed overtime victory over San Antonio, Parker joined the Spurs on their flight to San Antonio in order to attend former teammate Manu Ginobili's jersey retirement. The ceremony will take place on Thursday, from where Parker will then fly to Los Angeles to rejoin the Hornets for their Friday tilt against the Lakers, according to Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News.
Hornets coach James Borrego, who spent two assistant coaching stints with the Spurs, will also attend the ceremony.
“It’s going to be very nostalgic,” Parker said. “It will put everything in perspective. You start realizing everything we accomplished in this league. It will be emotional.”

OMG... you're Brent Barry!
Move on, man. If it wasn't Tony, it would have been someone else.
No coincidence that 4 straight DNPs resulted in a 4 game win streak for Charlotte
wow, hornets now have a 31% chance of making the playoffs per 538.
they're 7-3 in their past ten games. tony hasn't played in one of them.
HOTS leading from the bench
Hornets went on a run after benching Parker, while the Magic became a very good team after removing Jonathon Simmons from the rotation
Spurs system
MVParker will win as many playoff games as the spurms this year, tbh. you manu s cheering against him best remember that while you latch on to defrozan who is a even bigger playoff choker than your idol
is that what this thread is all about? I saw the le and while, I like HOTS, I have bigger fish to fry worrying about the Spurs playoff chances but I was always curious why this thread was always so high on the fresh takes with a le that seems antiquated. The Manure vs Enrique wars never die eh? Seems tired, the Spurs would have been better off this year with Tony on the roster and better still if that also meant Patty was off it. Tony is a Spurs legend. IMO the 4th best Spur ever, behind Timmay, the Admiral, and Ice but my feeling that way doesn't mean I need to take a wizz on Manu at every opportunity. This war is long over it is like those losers reenacting the Civil War in confederate army gear.
another DNP, another win for CHA.
