What's up with the fake ass tough at ude, Timmy

Also remember him only saying '4' to Phoenix ballboys during shootarounds

[jag]

Not as classy as the Admiral

[exstatic]

Tim has admitted this, but it was more because what does a 25 YO gamer have in common with a 19 YO French playboy.

This has been known for years. Parker tells the same stories over and over.

Reporter: What's one thing people don't know about Duncan?
Tony: He's actually really funny.

good point. Or theres just not too many stories to tell about Duncan.

most likely the latter - "Timmy really likes to play video games, I think that's something people don't know."

What a way to welcome a rookie to the USA and to America!
Please provide a link to Parker being a 'playboy' at age 19.

Drama queen as usual.

That face.

That's normal treatment of rookies in most (all?) NBA teams. It has been said by many players over the years. Actually several players from visiting teams over the years were surprised that TD was talking to them when their own stars and teammates were not.

If I remember correctly TP made the "100 most beuatifull people list" at 21 (20?), so if he wasn't sleeping around at 19 then he has only himself to blame...

I'm pretty sure TD and TP had very little in common in those days (they probably wouldn't have much in common now if they just met). Don't forget even Pop wasn't convinced TP was a good draft pick.

[larrychen21]

TD didn't talk to TP because TD could not understand TP's English 13 years ago

[DarrinS]

Who cares, tbh?

[Mugen]

Maybe Tim knew that TP was going to bang a teammate's wife several years later tbh.

[313]

He was a rookie and barely spoke English. Tim probably did the same to Manu.

[Dverde]

Timmy doesn't talk to anyone, everyone talks to him. He is the most interesting Power Forward in the world.

[superjames1992]

He's a warrior.

[lefty]

most likely the latter - "Timmy really likes to play video games, I think that's something people don't know."

dat troll face

[BatManu20]

Old news tbh

I'm quite sure the media tell the same stories over and over. Whoever wrote this probably used an interview of Tony dating back 10 years ago.

He was a rookie and barely spoke English.

Parker's father is from the US, and his mother is Dutch, you can bet his English was damn fine even as a rookie.

Ah, I never knew that. I just figured he was from france and so were his parents.
