I wonder what Manu had to say?
Well that's cool and all, but I don't watch superhero movies.

I like Martin Luther King Jr. better...
That is some funny stuff Manny. I can not believe he responded, see, that is a stand up guy!
I have never read any Tony apologiez...Kori you have any other links to share?
Oh and timvp has a lot of meeting Spurs stories... Stephen Jackson borrowed a CD from him and never gave it back
I do not think it is right to judge people on isolated incidents. As long as the scale tips in the nice direction it is o.k. with me. Tony might have done a few things, but so has everyone. I have heard enough both ways to suggest that it is simply a matter of timing.I have never read any Tony apologiez...Kori you have any other links to share?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!Oh and timvp has a lot of meeting Spurs stories... Stephen Jackson borrowed a CD from him and never gave it back
Vinny Del Negro borrowed my gold toe socks and never returned them, that bas !
I met Tim Duncan at a CounterStrike LAN party and we played Madden for nine hours. He lost every game because he insisted on playing as the Bears. I played as the Patriots and used the "Steal Defense Signals" cheat code.
You know a Tony Parker message board?I have never read any Tony apologiez...Kori you have any other links to share?
Well only reason why I may still like him is because he is a spurs..otherwise, forget it.
We are all one team with one goal...
True Buckets ended up stealing a UGK album from me. This thread has been done about 45 times on this forum so those really interested should use the search feature. The highlights I remember include timvp losing a game of 1 on 1 against Jaren Jackson when Jaren Jackson spotted him wearing a Jaren Jackson jersey, Angel Luv meeting Rasho at a bread factory, Manny getting a blurry picture of Beno at PF Changs and some poster (forgot who) saying that Pop cut him off in the Trinity parking lot and then Pop flipped him off.Oh and timvp has a lot of meeting Spurs stories...

To the posters, I deleted ... Enough with the Tony vs Manu B.S.
Thanks.
Well you said, it everyone has there own opinion, and I believe that Parker is just as nice, classy, etc... as anyone I have ever met. Again, besides this guy not letting hot chicks interupt his practice, and not tipping your friend, who we don't know is a good waiter, you have said nothing to explain what a he his. Neither of those events seem all that bad, I really think you just don't like him and you want other people not to like him as well.By the way I have met manu, horry, finley etc... whoever else has played in San Antonio for the last 3 years, they were all nice. In my opinion Finley was probably the most laid back.I realize many superstars act this way..Tony is a great basketball player and thats it. Sure he puts on the happy face from time to time but when no one is watching he is a . Why is it that I only talk bad about his people skills and not anyone elses...i've seen this stuff for myself, thats why. If kori and anyone else thinks he is the best polite person then thats their opinion but don't put him in the same likes as that of Ginobili or Robert Horry. Parker is nothing like them.
Dude tipped a QUARTER. Get over yourself.
Well, I guess that was better than a Fresh Prince ending.
Wait, what's this about Christy Canyon stories?
i think century wins the best stories contest
I have a few from the late 90's when the Spurs played at Charlotte:
-I saw Tim Duncan play in Charlotte during his rookie season. They would always bring a player or two back out after the game for an interview, and this time they chose Tim. There were probably 50-100 fans who waited near the tunnel, and when Tim left the court he stopped to sign autographs. He didn't seem bothered by it, although he did it in his usual serious business-like manner.
-Sean Elliott did the same thing another year. Very nice and conversational with everyone. You could tell that Sean was a very genuine, down-to-earth person.
-Avery Johnson did not sign autographs, but waved to us when he ran down the tunnel.
-David Robinson was the nicest. A group of about 100 of us were standing near the player exit underneath the arena in Charlotte. We couldn't get closer than about 50 yards from where the players came out, but I heard that players would sometimes walk over to the fans to sign autographs. We waited for about 15 minutes, and David came out. He walked all the way over to where we were and spent about 20 minutes signing autographs. He could not have been more genuine and down-to-earth. The cool thing was that he told us he had to be somewhere, yet he still took the time to be pleasant and accommodating. I will never forget it.
On the topic of superstars being obligated to their fans, I don't expect them to spend hours signing autographs. I'm sure all the attention gets old when you just want to go out in public and have a meal or spend time with family. With that said, I have very little patience for athletes who are rude to people. For all the money they make, I view it as a player's duty to at least be pleasant and polite to people. While seeing fans is a routine thing for players, seeing a favorite player is not so routine for each fan. Players should remember that.
Thankfully, our Spurs players historically take the time to be nice to fans. That goes a long way.
A few years ago in a preseason game @ Memphis, Timmy was IR'd for obvious reasons. I had box seats and court passes. I got to stand in front of the rope. I felt spechuuul. But after halftime Tim walked out of the tunnel last, and I was sort of star struck. I didn't even THINK to get an auto, I just had a camera and yelped something like "Can I get a picture Tim." And he turned and looked and saw me in his jersey, smiled and posed half way turned around for a few seconds and then kept on. I got my picture. And most people would have ignored me.I have a few from the late 90's when the Spurs played at Charlotte:
