Well, he says he keeps trying to get better every year. He's gonna get pretty decent if he keeps this up, ya know? lol
Imagine if the older Tony gets the better he would be..Just like Timmy![]()

Chris Ryan:
With about six minutes left in Game 4, Tony Parker caught a Marc Gasol bear paw in the eye. It happened when the Grizzlies center tried to block the Spurs point guard's 17-foot jumper. Gasol is not an opthamologist, but he did stay in a Holiday Inn Express once, so the big man opted to let his teammates run the break while he tended to Parker. Mike Breen treated Gasol's sportsmanship like he just saw an angel lighting the Olympic torch while singing "Danny Boy." One-eyed Tony, on the other hand, was not having it; he was pissed.
Parker's reaction wasn't too surprising when you recall that a little more than a year ago, he was caught in some Veuve Clicquot cross fire, during a nightclub brawl between the entourages of Drake and Chris Brown. He's a little sensitive when it comes to his peepers.
Parker left the game for two minutes, checked back in with about 4:45 left, and promptly buried an 18-footer to put the Spurs up eight.
And then he said " " on television.
It was the delivery that got me. I knew Parker was one of the best players in the NBA; I didn't need 37 points (25 of which came in the second half) to tell me that. What I didn't know is he was the type of dude to go up the river and kill Colonel Kurtz. This was not the affable French guy telling funny stories about the time "Pop" made him run suicides for missing the third read on a delayed elevator pick-and-roll or whatever. This was a very pissed-off, very dialed-in, very turnt-up, dagger-throwing closer. And he did not want to give the Grizzlies, the city of Memphis, or any member of Three 6 Mafia one little bit of hope. I've always thought Tony Parker was a beautiful basketball player …
Last night, he was a terrifying one.
still not getting past that Scola thing
Major props TP9. So glad to see him smiling. Best point guard in the league.
LeBron is going to decimate that record. He could have 7k playoff points by the time he hangs them up.
has anyone else noticed over the years since the whole tony parker brent barry wife incident that brent barry makes absolutely NO COMMENTS whatsoever about parker on nbatv? none. he doesn't even say his name
durant will shatter whatever playoff all time freethrow record there is by the time he retires.
LOL Holy I've often been accused of being a Tony homer but this is the first time I've been accused of minimizing his accomplishments. LOL!
In order to play a lot of playoff games you have to be a good player. This is obvious. I wasn't minimizing anything. The only way you get high on that list is by playing a lot of games. It IS the same for Timmy. Thats simply pointing out that Tony (and Tim) have been good enough to play deep into the playoffs many years and that their stats add up.
God damn some of you are just so damn defensive right off the bat. We're all Spurs fans here.
I hope so.
What'd you say about my mother!?
If we will the le, most probably TP will be the Finals MVP. Guess who that ties him with? K. Bryant. All this BS talk year in and year out about Bryant being in the same sentence or paragraph or page as Jordan, and our little French #28 draft pick might just end up with a better "Big Stage" resume than the Lakers' beloved Bryant.
In fairness, this board is plagued these days with detractors, so it's sort of understandable how someone would jump to conclusions. I mean, we have the best coach in the NBA, and there's been multiple threads about how we should fire him, ffs.
