I don't understand why I am not involved in these activities.

excellent interview.
Kori doesn't use her hands too much, whoever the asshat was that said that, quiet down bozo.
Tony Sr comes off as a very humble and good man.
Great stuff.
I talked to him the other day at the game.
Cool dude.
Very well spoken, intelligent and polite man.
Lighten up I thought she did a great job the hand talking was just IMO I wasn't trying to be a jerk.
Didn't need to be brought up...the hand talking was just IMO
No, YOU lighten up...
Piss off !!!
I don't mind that you brought up the hand talking. I am aware of it and know I use my hands a lot - I'm very animated. But it's not something I'm really going to work on changing, unless for some reason I decide to do TV reporting on a regular basis or something.
So no reason to cuss each other out over it.

I know you weren't. I wasn't offended at all.
And thanks.
suck up....
Whateversuck up....
Thanks - there must be some way to overthrow Cyber Bob's PC Nazi regime.
If you learn how to beat it, please do tell.
I gotta say that was a good interview...I hate interviews where the reporter asks a bunch of stupid meaningless questions that leaves the interviewee rolling his eyes...
Those questions were very insightful, the sports questions were really good, and there wasn't much I was left wanting to know. Good job Kori.
As for Parker Senior...to me he's just like Tony, he's very smooth and honest...I think he does come off as a little more humble and perhaps a little more conservative than Tony, but that sort of thing comes with age...Tony hasn't been humbled yet.
But it's easy to see where Tony gets his poise and confidence from, and Parker Senior comes off as really likeable.
Hey Kori..can you confirm a story I read years ago right after the Spurs drafted Tony?
I always heard that Parker Senior took his boys to meet the original Dream Team back in 92, when they were really young, and one of the players they actually got to meet was David Robinson...IIRC DRob picked TJ up and put him on his shoulders for a bit and for that reason Drob and the Spurs were always TJ's favorite team...
Can you confirm this? I think it was an interview with Tony where I read this...He said the Bulls were always his favorite team because of Jordan...but he said TJ was always a Spur and David Robinson fan because of that experience.
Thanks, Whottt (and everyone else).
One thing that I learned today was interesting. I had always read that after Tony went to the Nike Hoops Summit in 2000 and was recruited by Georgia Tech and UCLA, that he had decided to return to France for one more year instead of going to college. Well according to Mr. Parker, he didn't decide that .. the NCAA declared him ineligible to play in college. I thought that was interesting.
I can ask about that for you. I know that they went and met the Dream Team, but I'll ask about the story with TJ.
nice
Hey! That hurts!Thanks - there must be some way to overthrow Cyber Bob's PC Nazi regime.
Keep up the good work Kori.... great questions, and what else can we expect from you. I think he also noticed you were a big fan, knowing your information unlike other WOAI guys *cough*...
Anyways, great interview.
Wow, Kori! I'm so jealous...you have a great job and you're really good at what you do
PS. I hope you slipped him my number to pass on to Tony
Good stuff
Kori,
That was a very fluid and smooth interview. You seemed confident and at ease and I think that carried over to Tony Sr. He seemed to be pretty straight-forward with his answers and I got the impression that he may not have considered a couple of those questions before...therefore, you didn't get a pre-packaged or prepared response (i.e. who on the Spurs most resembles his game).
I'm curious...did Tony Sr. give an indication of how he thought the interview went, afterwards?
Thanks. He actually thought it was great. It went so well at WOAI that Leslie Bohl-Jones did a brief interview with him right afterward (and used some of my questions
I had cleared the personal questions with him beforehard to make sure that nothing was out of line. He didn't know which basketball related questions I was going to ask and he told me repeatedly that he was impressed by my research, etc.
He's a good man. We talk often at games and he's a big fan of Kori Ellis/Round Tables/SpursZONE.
When we went out to lunch we had an opportunity to talk a lot more basketball (and other stuff), he's a very intelligent, opinionated man who has brought his boys up right. Props to him (and Tony's mother) in that regard.
