So what comes after the granny free throw? The granny 3 pointer?Layup, Free Throw, Jumper, 3-point Jumper...next is The Granny.
spur fans like to on tp for everythingWell he's not going to just stand behind the line and launch threes and forget to drive.I can't get how any Spurs fan would be upset that he's developing a 3-pointer. This will only open up things more for him when defenses pack the lane.
This is something the Spurs and Tony have said that he would be adding to his arsenal next.
It's a good thing.
if he can shot the three it will open things up more for manu and duncan
Agreed. How can you on Tony after last season? Especially his finals performance. The guy was downright clutch. He was unstoppable while driving and hit some big tres down the stretch.
Rick was too easy and not funny enough for me.
seriously, who's ing here? I haven't seen anybody so far
FIBA 3 point line : 20' 6.25" (6.25 meters)
NBA 3 point line : 23'9" (7.24 meters) (22' on the sidelines (6.7 meters))
But it's true the last 6 games, TP is shooting lights out, sometimes way beyond the 3 pt line. If he actually has the green light next season, I expect a lot more trees from him. If he makes them : TP for MVP...
if you don't have knee pads on you're ing.
Nope, next is the sky hook...
WRONG
the dunk
What parker does isn't a dunk.
It is a dunk-lite.
I call it doink. More formally, a doinky-dink.
It can be embarassing when a Spurs dunk. What with Timmy and Butler keep bouncing off the rim.
And of course that is the real reason why Butler is traded. Spurs are embarassed by his clunks - dunk messed - so they got rid of him at all cost. Which explains why Scola was included. How else can you explain the trade?
Timmy better watch out. No more clunks.
Broken record, I know, but I think people take Tony Parker the player for granted.....if he is already developing a consistent proper mechanics three, at this age and fresh off of a finals mvp award, he is going to be THE benchmark for all scoring pointguards without question.
How can anyone forget he hit very timely threes in the finals?
If he adds this to his game we're looking at a Duncan2003esque playoff performance in 2008.
Dammit, there's always a catch.
I would love for Tony to be known for his 3's for nothing else other than the fact that defenders will have to think about guarding him close at the arc. 1/2 second of hesitation and tony will be tear dropping them out of the playoffs.
I saw all the 6 games (i was in strasbourg and Coubertin)
few shot was like NBA shot
Tony made play all the players sometimes with alley hoop
Tony was very impressive
If Tony starts hitting lob passes, that would be even more amazing than him hitting threes.
I feel you! I've always said if he could shoot from the outside like Nash and bibby, he would be unstoppable. Get up on him, he'll blow by you. Lay off him, and watch the rain come down. Plus, defensive strategies that consist of packing the lane 'ala Pistons in the '05 finals and Lakers in the '04 semis would become an exercise in futilityWell he's not going to just stand behind the line and launch threes and forget to drive.
This is something the Spurs and Tony have said that he would be adding to his arsenal next.
It's a good thing.
Even Rasho makes 3's in FIBA!
I see the Parker haters have come out from the holes, and are starting to stretch and warm up.
Even Rasho makes 3's in FIBA
Wich proves how phony FIBA is.
parker was hitting threes in the first two games of the '04 semis in case everyone forgot that.
he just lost his confidence. Hes regained confidence in his shot, but now we have to hope he understands that passing is an essential part of basketball
good for parker. if he starts making 3's and is a little more consistant with his mid-range jumper, he will start to move in the talk for MVP. COOL.
Am I the only one that watched Spurs games the first 2 years of Parker's career? He took threes...and he was decent at it...at least as good at it as guys like Kobe and AI.
He dropped 4 threes on Gary Payton in his first ever playoff game as a 19 year old.
He has improved after not shooting threes much the past 2 years...high PCT? I believe he shot over 40% from 3 this past season.
All I want to say is the developing shot is freaking difficult thing
Tony did better then I espected. First the jumpers (which at the begining of his career were almost everytime wide open as the defenders let him alone - esp. 2004 playoffs).
Now - last year he started to extend his range and now to the 3point line which is not a big problem to him anymore.
If you got that you;'ve got better inside-outside play and 4down as well

Um, not quite.
He was told to take it to the rim as much as possible when Chip came onboard, and to take only a few outside shots while his shooting form was reworked. The Spurs have reaped the fruits of that labor in these past playoffs series.
It wasn't a question of confidence, more a question of shooting mechanics. Tony technically wasn't greenlighted to take those threes in the Finals, but he had the confidence to step up and make them anyways.
Oy vey.
