Parker Medical Update

[temujin]

So the French health-care system doesn't work!?!?!? Paging Michael Moore...

Pietrus, Petro, Diaw are doing quite well.

It works less on sons of american basketball players.

They carry their notworkingness one generation down.

Parker' kids will be OK, though.

howcome noone is complaining about Netherlads National Team, Elson almost gets killed and has to wear a mask that is obviously hindering his skillz!

not to mention the mask does not help him with the ladies

[ancestron]

I think Elson was playing better with a broken face.

Did Oberto play for Argentina this summer?

No wonder he has slowed down.

From 20'' to run the court to 20''1.

Evidence for that?

Claude Bergeaud, french NT's coach seems pretty mad. Here's some quotes of his own, reported on lequipe.fr (french sport newspaper website)


"TP's ankle is really fine but we said we wouldn't take any risk...I don't see why he wouldn't be allowed to come back, except Spurs say : "French NT is over for TP !". Then, we'll understand it 's over for ever. Because if he's coming back to SA for those reasons, which are insignificant, a kick on the foot wich causes a really little, minor thing, then it will mean it's over. We won't have NBA players anymore, at the slightest fart."


Worries are high but signs of irritation are staying rather sober.

"Since Spurs are the owners of the player, I understand very well that they want to make further exams, verifications, assurances."

Irritation remains mesured but does exist. On Boris Diaw and the insurance issue :

"If we are told that Boris can't play, it's a stabbing. Beyond Tony, we built this team around Boris. Should have we know that he couldn't play, some players wwouldn't be here and some others would be. without diaw, we would be dismantled. "when 250 pds guys say something, 120 ones listen" (famous french movie line)".

Any chance TP will play in the game vs Boston? Or is that still too early?
