    Hi there !

    I'm the webmaster of TonyParkerBlog.com , unofficial french TP's blog. I've been very surprised of one thing : on french basketball forums, lots of basketball fans can't stand TP. For several reasons, but that's not the subject here.

    I'd like to make a study on the way / the reasons why TP is loved or hated and the differences between France and the US. I think it can be interesting...

    So I posted topics on several french basketball forums and spursreport.com forums is one of the US forums I've selected.

    Please tell me if you love, hate, do not have opinion on Tony and why.
    I'm not only speaking about his game or his personnality, but about the whole Tony

    (please scuse me for my poor english, I really suck : )

    Thanks for your help.

    ps : I have another question... do you know a huge general basketball forum. This one is about Spurs and should be full of Spurs fans... I'm looking for an US general basketball forums with lots of basketball fans, not only Spurs fans. If you have suggestions, please send me a PM
    Whatever you loser that's why your are unofficial TP blog

    I'm definitely gonna loathe Tony Parker on and off the court if he doesn't return to the playoffs in Game 5 Tuesday night against the Sonics.

    Tony is a disappointment only in that he seems to be content to be a sports' icon when what I really want is for him to be part of the family.

    Tony Parker has excellent taste in women. His biggest problem is that he's french.

    Tony-

    ON a personal level, most fans like Tony very much. He's a young guy, well spoken, and confident. He's even a pretty funny guy. Sometimes he can be a little too hip hop for people, but overall his personality meshes well with people in San Antonio.

    On a professional level, it's Tony's extreme inconsistency that drives people crazy. When I say extreme I mean he can score 30 pts and be totally unstoppable in one game, and the very next game score 2 pts with 5 TOs. However, this year Tony has been way more consistent and when he has struggled in the playoffs, he has figured out a way to be productive for his team.

    Overall, Tony is very good point guard with the chance of being great very soon.

    parker is "hiphop"?

    shouldnt have called it the tonyparker "blog" how about something original like the tony parker "complacent" or the tony parker "agressive" tony parker "confidence", tony parker "humble" or something that you only hear 100 times a day

    How many NBA players aren't conceited? For that matter, how many professional athletes aren't conceited? This doesn't matter to me. What matters is that he works hard on both offense and defense, and he is coachable. He isn't a chest thumper and a hot dog, and he doesn't get into trouble off the court. His demeanor on the floor is great. In my opinion, he doesn't get enough press, but that may be because he can be a little inconsistent at times. Tony Parker is one of the best PGs right now, and I think when all is said and done, he may end up being one of the best statistically. After this year's playoffs, Tony Parker may be 23 and have two championship rings. How many players that have played in the NBA can say that?

    Focus. Consistency. Perimeter shooting. The lack of those things is what drives many fans nuts.

    His potential is huge. If he ever successfully conquers those three areas, he'll be great.

    Yes, because everyone knows Rasho is quite the funny, open guy in the lockerroom

    There will always be haters

    end of study
    Excellent conclusion. Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one.

    Tony seems like an ok guy to me. I think quiet and reserved guys are often confused as conceited. I can see his teammates love him so this must mean he's a good guy. There will always be haters in every sport, in every country.

    No offense, but your "study" seems like a waste of time, you won't find any "special reason" why Tony is hated/loved. Its the same thing for all athletes all over the world. Your "study" could be interesting if you generalize it for all athletes.
