That's what he's done during the playoffs through out his career.

Comedian Mitch Fatel (funny guy, BTW, and recently in SA) went around asking questions to the All-Stars...this is what he asked Tony.
The piece de la resistance came when Fatel asked Tony Parker, "Since you’re French, do you ever just want to surrender in the middle of a game?"
Parker was left speechless, then proceeded to raise an eyebrow and give Fatel a dirty look. Priceless.
That's what he's done during the playoffs through out his career.
That's funny.
bull ing .That's what he's done during the playoffs through out his career.
Hilarious. Uh, we should ask him about Freedom Fries or something. Then ask if his girlfriends used to shave their armpits. Then call him a frog. Gold. Comedy gold.
You've got a good point. Fatel should have asked Tony to explain how an expiring contract can benefit a team.

Be just as funny as tired-ass surrender jokes. At least Parker didn't ask Fatel if he was going to render suspects to Uzbekistan in order to be tortured.
When has he shown up during the playoffs? I remember Speedy having to spell him during critical times in the 2003 playoffs and him doing nothing in 2005.
Like when he outplayed Kidd in games 1,2, and 5 of the 2003 Finals? When he was hitting circus shots in Kidd's and Mutombo's faces all throughout the fourth quarter of game 2 of the 2003 Finals? Or when he destroyed Nash in the 2005 WCF? Or when he made Payton look 50 in 2002 and 2004? Or when he dropped 19 in a quarter in Dallas' building in the 03 WCF?
Hahahaha! Nobody made jokes about French surrendering before!
Well, surrender or not, Parisians sure are nice people, as I found out during a trip to Paris last month for a week. Every single person I interacted with was very friendly. Seriously, my trip there killed all anti-French stereotypes I've ever heard. In fact, I'm willing to drop the surrender smack because of it.
Your memory is a bit cloudy lol.
This was on the Jay Leno show last night
Well, Parker did average 20.4 ppg in the 2005 West Finals. He also dropped 21 on Kidd in Game 2 of the 2003 Finals and 26 in Game 3. And he did rip Payton in the 2002 First Round, averaging 17.2 on 53% from the floor. And in 2 games the Spurs absolutely had to have in Dallas in the 2003 West Finals, he dropped 29 and 25 while shooting almost 50% from the floor. But you're right, Parker has never gotten anything important done at playoff time. Guys with 17 ppg playoff averages over an 80 game stretch are a dime-a-dozen these days in the NBA:
Has Parker had some bad playoff games? Absolutely. His 1-12 in Game 4 of the Finals was an epic stinker; and he certainly has had some struggles in the latter games of series through the years. But: (1) he's made himself a guy who can force teams to alter their defenses throughout the series because they must account for him, which accounts to an extent for the drop-offs over time; and (2) he's come up huge in a number of playoff games, particularly on the road, that the Spurs had to win:Code:TONY PARKER G ST MIN AM FGM FGA PCT 3ptM 3ptA PCT FTM FTA PCT PTS AVG 02 v.

Say what you will about him, but few Spurs have ever had as many big playoff games in big moments for his team as Tony Parker has.
Spurs fans love a scapegoat.
Thank God we've started torturing those subhumans. If it gets them talking, bring on the pain. God knows those nice peaceful terrorists never torture or behead our brothers and sisters on Tv.
Dont bother Body, his lube is out and his life sized poster of Javtokas got accidentally smashed by dad in the basement.
Bla blah bla again and again ...
I thought the frenchie jokes got played out by peter sellers in the 60s.
and I dont get US military bravado either, when was the last time you won a war? WWII? relative to your military spending you are probably the worst miltary force ever.
like thats something to be proud of anyway...
flame away !
Some of the reactions on here are so humorless. Lighten up.
I'm sure Tony didn't care as much as you guys are eye rolling. It was just a harmless French ribbing of a trite joke. Some of the responses in here are so touchy'.
He should have just replied with "I'm ing Eva Longoria."
history quickly forgets that were it not for the french, we would still be under english control. it's nice to remember that every once in a while.
Because torture has never been shown time and again to degrade a society's soul. You watch too much "24", little man. I could just as easily have said "invade unthreatening nations for fun and personal profit" but I figured that was obvious.
