Parker's take on Beno

[exstatic]

In French that means Beno is a vagina.

I think it means that in English, too.

His nickname should have been Samson...after the brand of folding card table he emulated. I think he's in the perfect situation: no pressure, and he gets all of his Mays and Junes off, too!!! Bonus!!

[xapatan2]

I do agree with most of the takes here, but I do think Beno could have fit(ted?) with the system.

In fact, i do think that, right at the start, the story of Beno with the spurs was already written because :

Beno could not accept to be the backup of Tony Parker : the main fact : and in psychology it is : the uncapacity to call itself in question

I think this is just it. and the way he is speaking about himself ( self esteem ) has just proven this main fact.

And from this main fact comes everything that happened afterwards in terms of behaviour, mental toughness, motivation....etc...

We all know he his talented, we all know he understands the game, we all know about his court vision... we all know that... but his weakness (psychology) is a liability for a championship team.

Ya well Ploto...I got over Pop's mistreatment of Beno and Rasho, as those two trophies got hoisted...with their asses on the bench. Somehow...I just found a way.

Please do not try to equlize Beno and Rasho ever again.
While Rasho is hardworking, rigid, team oriented bb-player, Beno is, well, bb-player. Even if Rasho thought that Pop should (could, might) play him another way (more, different), he never complained etc.
They both have passport from same country and they both are bb-players and that is it.

And yeah, while things are never black and white, Pop should take his share of responibility for Beno's failing - about 1% of it, I guess.

And you my friend are pathetic man, prepared to sell out your own countryman just to be excepted from a little group of people who think that they own this board. Yes, they are loud but that don't mean that they are right. But let me tell you this, no matter how hard you try, for them you will always be a little foreign that uses up their oxygen. And the saddest thing is that that small group is able to control public opinion with that "be loud, be aggressive and sheep will follow" tactics.

And now some facts:
- Coach Pop gave his statement about Beno situation. (you all know what he said, and he doesn't have to lie or to make it pretty for some higher reason)
Pop is simply an honest man with integrity.
- Not one player trashed talked about Beno in all this years. (even when Beno made some stupid statements about Tony for example)
- No troubles with Beno's behavior (forget injuries) were reported by the Spurs.
- There is not a shred of evidence for all this bull written about him on this board and is basketball related. (Please, don't give me that Pistons crap again as an evidence, because I can find bad games for every single Spurs player in this 3 years span).
I called this board bully's out for many times. To present pictures or some official articles of Beno being fat, lazy, drunk or whatever... Nothing. NOTHING!
Best they came up with are interviews with unhappy Beno wishing to get more playing time, and some other stupid things that he said. And since when is having an opinion a crime? And let's be honest about one thing. Beno is not the sharpest pencil in the box. But you don't have to be a rocket scientist to play a game of basketball. We have plenty of proof for that all over NBA.
So once again, BENO IS GONE, mission complited, STOP BASHING!

So I should defend any person just because we share passport of same country. Please.
Foreign ? Please, try to tell this to Tony, Manu, Oberto...
This board is hard with any player, which doesn't deliver on the floor.

And now some facts:
- Coach Pop gave his statement about Beno situation. (you all know what he said, and he doesn't have to lie or to make it pretty for some higher reason)
Pop is simply an honest man with integrity.

Sure, Pop have taken his share - as I said, about 1 %

- Not one player trashed talked about Beno in all this years. (even when Beno made some stupid statements about Tony for example)

That is what professionals do (or better don't do). On the other hand, Beno made a lot of stupid statements.... There is, where he lost my respect. With his whinning he just proved, that what was written on this board is true.

- No troubles with Beno's behavior (forget injuries) were reported by the Spurs.

Are you forgeting his response to demand for working on his shot?

- There is not a shred of evidence for all this bull written about him on this board and is basketball related. (Please, don't give me that Pistons crap again as an evidence, because I can find bad games for every single Spurs player in this 3 years span).

Spurs are professional organisation, they don't wash dirty laundry in public. However, there is few members of this board pretty close to the organisation. I guess that they know situation much better then us, few thousend miles away.

Best they came up with are interviews with unhappy Beno wishing to get more playing time, and some other stupid things that he said. And since when is having an opinion a crime?

You also don't have to be rocket scientist to behave in professional way.

Where was I bashing Beno? Please? Is he hard-working? Haven't seen any proof of that yet. Rigid? He sat out games and trainings with "injuries" every kid would overcame. Pop was joking about it. And belive me, Pop doesn't think twice before he makes a statement, he thinks five times.

sendman, your country made it. It's First World now. You can drop the inferiority complex, and you don't have to defend every Slovenian on the planet.

I would do it for every other Spur just the same. But this one is different and I'll tell you why. And I'm more passionate about it because he is my countryman, I admit.
Everyone has the right to have his opinion. In the past every player on this team was criticized for some reason. I don't have a problem with that, if that player deserved it. I think PUNISHMENT must fit the crime or something like that.
For example, Rasho had it rough on this board for his lack of aggressiveness, for his bad free throw shooting, for his bad back to the basket game for years. These are legitimate reasons related to basketball and I never counterpart it.
But in Udrih's case we are talking about things that doesn't concern us. It's his choice if he goes to MySpace. Who are we to make fun of him for that?
In all this years I didn't see such systematic bashing of any player on any team let alone some second or even third stringer. Just look how many threads about Beno still suffices almost every day. Don't look at me, I didn't start them. I'm just responding as I would if same things would happen to some other player.
And don't be afraid, I don't see myself as some Robin Hood, I'm just an average Joe with opportunity to speak his mind.

We are -- us.

And it really wouldn't have been an issue had he not taken sole credit for the Spurs' winning the 2005 championship on said myspace.

you never played ball in your life, and still act like you're a basketball expert.
So,STFU!!!

You mad?

Serves you right, .

[ArgSpursFan.]

Not mad,at all.
Just showing people they shouldn't care about replaying your nonsense posts, that's all.

[ChumpDumper]

And just how do you know anything about me or my basketball playing?

I can say the same about you since I know just as much about you.

You never played ball in your life so no one should listen to you.

And you molest children.

And eat feces.

No one should listen to you because you never played the game, molest children and eat feces.

[duncan228]

Hey ChumpDumper-Do you get into it with this idiot in every thread or only the ones I happen to fall into?

It seems like you two never stop-even though you've beaten him to the ground in every arguement I've read.

At least this one hasn't disintegrated into "your mother" territory like his previous ones have.

[duncan228]

I may have spoken too soon...

Oh, yeah let's not forget he is an admitted necrophiliac.

Thanks for that.

Anytime.

[ChumpDumper]

Anytime.

Yeah, that link can probably be dug up, so to speak.

Truthfully, I don't understand what he thinks he is proving.

[duncan228]

I actually laughed out loud. Thanks.
I think I know where that thread is, give me a minute to...dig.

And he's proving nothing but you own him. In multiple threads across the forum.
Just like he did under his other name.
Maybe he likes it.

[duncan228]

Edit: Never mind, I'm taking the link out. It was disgusting then, it still is.

No need to be reminded, he's still an ass and he reminds us all any time he opens his mouth.

[ChumpDumper]

Thanks, but no thanks. If anyone else needed reminding though....

Anyway, hijack over. Beno is gone. Good for him. Good for us.

[Yuixafun]

This thread is quality..

I admire what Tony Parker has accomplished so far in life. He sets a good example for young men to aspire to.

Imagine that, 3 time NBA champion, Finals MVP, and then getting married to famous t.v star...

It reminded me of when Manu was an All-star, NBA champion, and Olympic gold medalist, and then HE got married lol.

These are driven individuals whose wills become manifest and I recognize it, realize it's a reflection of some part of me lhidden away, and what a great soul can do in the moment.

As far as Beno, he's still growing up. It difficult transitioning into manhood. You have to go through the rough times to realize who you are. Some people make the leap earlier then others.

[mikejones99]

Everyone should have the same take on Beno and Rasho, they both helped some but made lots of cash for that
