You are the Renaissance Man of this site. I applaud you and your work here.
Today's NBA
That's very kind of you, tonight.
John Wall, come to the Spurs.........................lol
These people are NOT in the league of Timmy and Manu.....
I'd ship Wall out. He's garbage. He's Gilbert Arenas 2.0.
A 42.6 and 42.9 career FG shooter. These guys have been put in inflated rolls, and they have this delusion that they're that good.
Well obviously TP is not as bad as you say (like Kobe) because even with him 'acting" like that, SA has won a le recently and the young guys are developing at a MVP level.
You won two recently. Your 1st 5th + your 2nd 5th.
Well put. Before Kobe, nobody would have been so re ed as to call themselves an alpha in an interview.
To be fair, though, Kobe at least worked his ass off to make himself the best player that he could, and individually couldn't have done much more than he did. It's too bad that he never understood the concept of the team because he cared more about his personal legacy. That's really what an "alpha" in today's NBA is: A guy who shouldn't have picked a team sport, and that is definitely his legacy. These guys are as far removed from Kobe as Kobe was from Jordan, who was perfectly happy to team up with Pippen as long as it meant they got to win every game.
If Parker really thought like that, he'd have bolted for a big market the first chance he had.
Though Jordan did act with enough recklessness to get himself booted from the NBA.Well put. Before Kobe, nobody would have been so re ed as to call themselves an alpha in an interview.

What?!!! Jordan was the alpha male role model ...sure he teamed up with pippen because pippen was a beta that knew his place. If pipp tried this beal is doing, Jordan would have put Scottie in check. This post proves obstructed doesnt know about Jordan and one of the naive that ignores the fact Jordan punched and bullied his team-mates.Well put.

I have no doubt he would have if the Spurs hadn't have s ed out the dough.
Not sure where that opinion comes from. I certainly don't remember money ever coming up as an issue with him. , I don't even remember Parker talking to other teams when he was a free agent, though I'm sure it had to happen at least once. From what I remember, he's always signed contracts that are market or below, and he does them quickly and quietly and has nothing but praise for the organization and the team. By any measure, he's nearly without question the most loyal player in the history of the franchise. He's sacrificed his numbers for the betterment of the team his entire career, and it will take a bit more than the Jack's ramblings on the radio to change my mind.

Agreed - was just pointing out the flaws in the point on all sides.
lol OV is the guy who once said "Dwight Howard is a black Kevin Love" so just take anything he says with that in mind.
To be fair, I apologized to Kevin Love a long time ago for that.
When Parker signed for 6/66 in 2004, that was considered a large and "ambitious" contract. It was definitely not below market either. And if anyone was going below market, it was Manu, who signed for 6/52 that same summer.
As for Tony's current salary, I don't think you'd find anyone calling it market or below market value.
unsportsmanlike
If there's anyone in the world that thinks Tony Parker didn't more than live up to that contract in 2004, I'm sure they reside on Spurstalk. And considering what Mike Conley's making, I think I'd disagree with you on that last point.
the contract the wizards gave beal
