lol thats hilarious. Go TP!
living here in SA, and being a lifelong Spurs fan.....I have grown to learn that there are Spurs players who you can acknowledge in public and those you shouldnt....
Can - DRob, Bowen, Gervin, Elliott, Horry, Manu, Malik, Avery, Barry, Oberto
Shouldnt - Gilmore, Parker, Duncan
drob was signing autographs at the golden gloves this year until the cops broke it up and told everyone let him watch the fights
..Manu not only would've obliged the phone call but made her father a Facebook friend...
..
He's French. 'Nuff said.
that was after that little story took place... i don't know how long after but definitely after.
yep. said hi to him. drob will always be my favorite.
au revoir tony...
people use the "you should be grateful for what you have and sign all the autographs" card out all the time. it's stupid. if you people who say that win the lotto tomorrow for 20,000,000, you are not expected to have to be gratfeul for anything in any form. having a lot of doesn't mean you have to kiss people's asses. and not giving an autogrpah does not equate to not being grateful. you know why? because in the end, getting an autograph means absolutely nothing. no one is going to give a about Tony Parker fifty years from now. 100 years from now, no one will give a about Tim Duncan, except Duncan228's great great grandchildren. autographs don't mean , and they don't give a that they don't sign your autogrpah, and neither should you. the only people you should expect anything out of are the people that are close to you and you have relationships with. i couldn't personally give a if i see Tim Duncan, or Tony Parker walking down the street. i like them for their basketball.
News flash: Most pro sport players and movie stars are ass holes when they are not at a dedicated event. Too much pay, too little work, and a sense of en lement over everyone else allows for this kind of situation to occur for everyone of them at one time or another.
I'm wondering what the race of the gold digger is?
The website "The Dirty" kinda hints at it anyway.
Horry was great. Duncan's seemed pretty cool the couple times I've seen him. It's his wife who's a bit y.
Of course, I'd be y if my date night kept getting interrupted by random strangers too.
Eva is a to the 'security' at their (old?) house.
...That was the best job in the world. Sat around drinking beer and playing ps3 during graveyard 10-6.
In contrast, Russ Bookbinder was a real classy guy and his wife was a wonderful person as well.
great story.
i think it's pretty safe to say that tony seems like a , just from reading various commentary from him and about him over the years. baggedness seems pretty common among celebrity personalities. the best basketball player ever was a pretty big , so it definitely doesn't hurt as far as bball skills.
i can totally understand his reaction.
by the way, one of my good friends randomly came across tony and his dad shopping in chicago a few years ago. tp had no problem taking a picture with her, and, from what she tells me, he's a really nice guy.
don't be an asshole and i'm sure he won't be an asshole right back.
So instead of explaining why Tony had to pay, this guy kept repeating the total and then told him he could pay or get out. The guy sounds like a bigger asshole than Tony.
manu does not tipManu not only would've obliged the phone call but made her father a Facebook friend.
Why not?Yeah, Tony and his brothers were getting in the face of a 60 year old woman at the airport. Sure.
Crazier, unexpected things have happened with other athletes
Neither does Tony, apparently. But Manu would hook you up with his Facebook!
That'd be your dream come true, ducks; you could talk about how he fouled Dirk!
why are people acting like this actually happened? the source is a complete joke.
This sounds as believable as the story about Duncan in college. The various comments and stories in this thread are hilarious though. It's easy to get star struck when you meet a celebrity, but people need to remember that they're still just people. They eat, piss, and sleep like the rest of us (at least I hope so).They just have more fame, money and avenues than the average Joe Blow.
What's the Duncan college story?
The Duncan College Story.
If you check Wake Forest's schedule for that season you'll have the proof that the story isn't true. It's been circulating for years.
Athlete Run-Ins: The Angry Tim Duncan. Grrr!
In today's second installment of athlete run-in stories, we present a portrayal of Spurs all-world star Tim Duncan, from the olden days, back before he became the Mr. Nice Guy Stud that he is today. We find this story immensely fun just because it's the exact opposite of what pretty much everyone has always thought about Duncan. It comes to us from someone named "Johnny Lazz." Here's an excerpt, with the full story after the jump.
I round the corner to see Tim Duncan forcibly holding a girl around the waist with one arm to sit on his lap and is wiggling her around like a grinding lap-dance motion.
Yeah. It gets worse. Enjoy the rest after the jump.
I attended UNC-Chapel Hill. During the 1996-97 hoops season, I was a bouncer in a bar on Franklin Street called Papagayos, which sadly no longer exists. This particular evening the Heels had lost at home to Tim Duncan and Wake Forest. After the game, UNC center and dorky german 7 footer Serge Zwikker made an appearance at the bar. After a few quick drinks, Zwikker and friends left due the amount of jeers and rebukes. On his way out, some Heels fans pelted him with balled-up bar napkins.
Shortly after he leaves, in rolls Tim Duncan with some nondescript non-basketball player. Instantly the bar starts buzzing, as Duncan was dominating the ACC and NCAA at this point, a clear lottery pick. The very same head frat boy UNC students that were harassing Serge immediately fall all over themselves to kiss his ass and buy him drinks. Tim takes it all in stride, happily obliging the sycophants, all dudes. I was working the door, and it wasn't that crowded (slow tues or wed night) so I just stayed at my post, happily zoned out. About an hour later a girl (hot pe e blond sorority type; at UNC, they are a dime a dozen) in a panic and tells me someone is molesting her friend at a corner table. As the only bouncer, it is my job to keep order, and I was always quick to eject anyone I heard using racial slurs, phobes, or harassing women.
(Full disclosure: I am six-foot, 220, an avid martial artist and enjoyed opening the door with people's faces when they had it coming.)
I round the corner to see Tim Duncan forcibly holding a girl around the waist with one arm to sit on his lap and is wiggling her around like a grinding lap-dance motion. She is yelling, "stop it, let go of me," and he is using his other hand to clasp her shoulder and grope her breasts. Now, keep in mind, there are like 4-5 UNC frat type guys AT THE TABLE watching him do this, and not saying , some even laughing (cuz apparently date rape is funny), because these were the very same heads who were kissing Duncan's ass, asking him where he wanted to play NBA ball and buying him drinks when he got there. Tim Duncan's back is to me, so I tap him on the shoulder and calmly and quietly tell him to let go of her. He tells me to off, without even turning around.
So I say sternly but calmly something along the lines of, "Well, you are going have to let go of her and get out because you are not welcome here anymore." (I always started things assertive but mellow and zen-like, so as to avoid inflaming drunken macho reactions. If you can control things by keeping calm, things go easier in these situations.) So he lets go, she darts up and runs to the ladies room, he stands up slowly and turns to face me. Now, I am not scared of too many people, but the fact remains: He is way taller, faster, stronger; in every way he will totally dominate me. Martial arts training aside, if I can't take him down fast, like by sweeping his leg and hopefully breaking a knee, I am ed, because he could've picked me up by my ankles and swung me around like a club against the closest wall.
He looks down at me with total contempt and says, " off before I kick your ass. Don't you know who I am?" Now, inside I am crapping my pants, but fighting is all about controlling your fear, so on the outside I am (or am trying to be) John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and Bruce Lee all rolled into one. I look him dead in the eye (as best I am able given the height difference) and say, word for word (I will never forget, and I still don't know where I came up with this): "Look TIM, you ain't in the NBA yet. Now if you don't get the out of here right now I am gonna call ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and Coach Odom as soon as I get done breaking your knee and ruining your ing career." He is stunned by my audacity, like the lion regarding the mouse that roared.
Then he gets this weird look on his face, like he is mulling over what a bad idea it would be to get in a fight over this kind of thing at a Chapel Hill bar so publicly. Then he says " you. This place sucks. I am OUTTA HERE!" like it was his idea, like I had pissed in his margarita or something. I hollered at his back "Good! Get the out, that's all I asked!" to the applause of the few patrons at the bar. I ended up going home with the pretty brunette he had been harassing, having played her Knight-in-shining flannel.
The weird thing is, he goes on to get drafted by the Spurs, spends his rookie offseason living with David Robinson and getting counseled on how to conduct yourself in the pros, craft the perfect media-friendly role-model image... to think this guy could have just as easily become the next Rasheed Wallace without the wise council of the Admiral.
The more rings Tim gets, and the longer he goes on as a NBA role model, the less likely people are to believe this, but I was there, and I had plenty of witnesses. Yes, it was a long time ago and people change, but that night that er was way out of line.
(Ed. Note: We're still a LITTLE skeptical ... but this guy didn't seem like he was bull- ting to us.)
i must had left that out... nah he actually pointed that out on the card but tony insisted it be free.
oh and ben was an asshole but if you knew the dude and how he came across you would've been laughing your ass off.
wow, never knew this occurred.
