Right. Them, and that little band that used to play on the platform hanging off the balcony. They were fantastic and I sure miss them. I think doing away with the live music in arenas and the organ players in baseball parks was a big mistake. They gave sport a whole different atmosphere.

The Sound of the Spurs. I took a few lessons from their guitarist.
Isn't Zarko still actively playing somewhere?
I can't believe I missed Gentry. He looks so young! And I mistook Reggie Williams for Paul Pressey. I thought that was Frank Brickowski.
You know how much of a Spurs geek you need to be to know this ^?
I will never doubt this mans Spurs knowledge again![]()
Holy . Zarko actually has a huge entry in the Wikipedia!
Heart problems
In March 2001 Paspalj suffered a serious heart attack while playing recreational football in Athens, and was hospitalised for several weeks. He suffered a second heart attack in July 2001, but battled to regain his health.
In the fall of 2005, during a disscusion on RTS television regarding coronary issues, he stated that 2 heart attacks weren't enough to force him into quiting smoking or into substantially changing his lifestyle.
[edit]
Role on the Serbia-Montenegro bench
In early 2004 he became Team Manager for the Serbia-Montenegro national squad, working under Head Coach Zeljko Obradovic. The most important part of Paspalj's job was help creating the right atmosphere by acting as liason between the coach and the players. Obviously, the thinking was that such a well-liked former player would have a soothing effect on the damaged inter-squad relations. Paspalj was also entrusted with the role of convincing different players, especially ones from the NBA, to come play for the national team.
Unfortunatelly, his time at the post coincided with two of the team's worst performances in recent history as S&M finished 11th (out of 12 squads) at the 2004 Athens Olympics and then failed to reach the quarter-finals of the 2005 European Championships, held on home ground in Belgrade.
[edit]
Paspalj the businessman
Paspalj also decided to try his hand at business by investing heavily in the ambitious Aqua Park project in New Belgrade's Blok 44. As of late 2005, the project is in early construction phase on a huge site near Sava river.
Ran across this looking through an old archives folder at the office a few days ago... (pre-exodus) Now where's that Kluby at?

(7/26/01 1:51:06 pm) Antonio's role
________________________________________
Who knows what the lineup will be when the season starts, but here's what I would like to see us settle into after the all-star break.
1. Parker
2. Daniels
3. Bowen
4. Duncan
5. Robinson
Major Bench Minutes from
Smith (30 minutes or so a night, Sixth man of the year)
Rose
Ferry
Contributions from
Porter
Dial
S Jackson
I know this assumes a lot from Parker, but he hasn't shown me anything negative yet. If it turns out he isn't ready, then so be it. But Daniels is not as effective running the point as he is at the 2. Maybe he'll play the 1 for parts of games, but he should not be the starting 1.
Bring Smith off the bench. Keep his knees healthy. I'd be happy with a 9mil bench player if he can average 15-18 pts on 12-15 shots a game in 30 minutes. Let him be the zone buster that everybody said Alan Houston would be if he was a Spur.

Ice,
If you'll notice, I said:
1. AFTER the all-star break and,
2. It's what I would like to see if he is ready
Parker is not a typical rookie. He's been playing pro ball for two years already at point in a half-court oriented offense. He's already a playmaker. I'm not saying he should be starting right away, but let's not sell him short. Give him a chance, and he might suprise you.

I agree.....everyone can see im REALLY HIGH on TP2 here
but he is not ready to start
he will get 10-15 minutes a game off the bench according to POP and should be able to contribute some and learn a lot this season
