Just recently got back from Paris and confirmed Tony's fame

[T Park]

BTW, where is the faction that said "Tony isn't going to improve anymore, what you see is what you get"

[koopa]

He'll have an answer. He'll say something like "Watch the game, you'll see he never passes." And then he'll say I'm bias again.

I've never denied that Tony has tunnel vision on occasion (and those occasions are less and less as he matures). But to say that since he met Eva and became on All-Star, he's a selfish prick and doesn't care about the team (which is basically what he's saying) is ridiculous.

how do you know what i'm gonna say if i've never talked to you before on this forum???

he's still not a good point guard, i rather have more assist from my pg then for him to shoot a load......it pisses me off seeing him go in a crowd and trying to score then seeing him pass it off for an easier try at scoring......he might as well play shooting guard

and i don't care about assist per min....i care about them throughout the game and he avg. under 6, he's the starting point guard, you'd think he'd avg at least 6 per game....

i watch him play every game and all i see is him forcing stupid , and never giving it to tim or manu down the stretch of big games, he thinks he's the superstar of this team when in actuality he's nothing more then the 3rd best player on this team......and pop, he's stupid for telling him to shoot more, his job should be passing not shooting

[ChumpDumper]

Parker would average 12 assists per game if his teammates could connect after Tony's kickouts. Thank goodness he shoots 53% to make up for them.

[Kori Ellis]

If he's constantly "forcing stupid " he wouldn't shoot above 50% from the floor.

Tony's a scoring point guard, not a distributing point guard. That's not a secret. All I know is that, the majority of the time, he's doing exactly what the Spurs want from him.

Don't lie, he never passes. Especially to Tim and Manu.

'Just got back from Wal-Mart and the greeters all knew who Tony Parker is.

[ShoogarBear]

Does anyone else find the le of this thread slightly humorous?

No.

Nobody's famous until you have the stamp of approval from the SpursTalk Jet-Setter.

Hey, GD, what do you do anyway?

'Just got back from Wal-Mart and the greeters all knew who Tony Parker is.

"Huh? What did you say? Oui as in Tony Parker? Or Wi as in Wi-fi?"

[ShoogarBear]

URGENT UPDATE

I printed out a full-page image of Tony (this one) and showed it to six people on my way to work this morning. Nobody recognized him

My scientific survey proves that Brand Parker hasn't penetrated to Singapore yet. But - he's young.

Thank you for saving us from the resulting estrogen surge which would have happened if you had actually posted that picture.

[Kori Ellis]

No.

I believe GD is in Brazilian exports.

[ShoogarBear]

And isn't there a Swiss player in the NBA now?

You mean he's doing Adriana Lima?

[T Park]

Ha ha ha....

"We're all out of Wiis, young man."

If every shooter in the NBA could connect we'd have 250 players averaging a double-double. You lead the league in 3-point percentage; there's not much more you can ask of them - somehow several other players average more assists without having that enormous advantage.

TP simply is not a very good passer, but he's become an average one. And, at least unlike MVP candidate Chucker Brickups, he can run a fast break.

Word. There have definitely been games where Tony's been cold and has recognized early on who has the potential to have a hot night.

Must be the ultimate post on Tony. Everything is there.

Too bad some just people can't figure this out.

[koopa]

i don't remember saying he never does, if you would read correctly you would see it say down the stretch of big games, he tries to much to be a hero when he is nothing more then a choke artist in big games

[Mijo]

GD lives in Brazil and his parents live in the Dominion? That's news to me....

[spurschick]

Then why is that the last plays in those situations are usually called for Timmy or Manu? I've only seen Tony take over games when it's necessary for him to do so. Do you really think that Pop would allow it to happen if he thought it was to the detriment of the team?

[ObiwanGinobili]

koopa, you really have no leg to stand on in this argument accept your own personal dislike for TP. Everything you have asserted has been disproven by fact.

[MannyIsGod]

Holy the threads have been funny today. I guess the cold is bringing out everyone's A game. That Wal-Mart picture is classic.

Hot DAYUM!!! That's the greeter SW and I were fighting over many moons ago.
