    What do you non Spurs fans think of him (aside from the flopping)


    I'm curious to see if he does have the respect from other teams fans or if he's seen as a second tier scorer.

    just curious;

    The flopping can get irritating, but besides that he I think he is one of the most successful players/improved players for the last few years.

    For some reason Tony Parker is the one who annoys me. I have no idea why, but he annoys me. I thought his Finals MVP was a joke and if Duncan were to lose one of his Final MVP awards he should of got one in 07 and not in 05. Ginobili deserved that one.

    My second favorite player to watch compete after Allen Iverson. I think he's amazing.

    He's a great player who always seems to come up huge on the big stage.

    That said, guy flops around more than the Azzurri.

    Thanks. Appreciated.


    And, it's Tony Parker's voice, the accent. And, even when he plays and is not talking, you just can't stop hearing his voice when you see him on the court.

    I'm gonna get flamed big time by other Spurs fans for this but I just feel Tony is a little bit one dimensional. If you take away his penetration (by packing the lane, as a lot of teams do) then he's got nothing. Yeah, his jumper has improved, but he's only a notch above Vaughn when it comes to hitting the jumper.


    Since he isn't a "true PG" he isn't gonna be effective without being able to get into the lane. I also HATED seeing him waltzing into an arena with the Spurs championship shirt on prior to game 1 of the playoffs. That wasn't Spur-like at all.


    BUT, my appreciation for him has skyrocketed during his absence because I do realize how much he really does mean to the team.

    He also might get maligned (even unfairly) by other Spurs fans (such as myself), but I just get irritated when his penetration is taken away and he is rendered useless for 48 minutes.

    Manu could easily be "the guy" on another team but he's a team player, selfless, and a very exciting player to watch. That being said his flopping both offensively and defensively is weak pussy . en annoying as if you're the opposition and he gets away with it. I agree with the other poster that commentators need to stfu about Eva. She's aite but she ain't no Scarlett Johanson or Angelina Jolie. She won't take all of her clothes off either so just stop talking about her.

    That's what he gets for playing in Italy.

    He played for Bologna, which is only a half an hour away from where my family is from.

    Every time I go there, some guinea always asks me if I know Ginobili. Never fails.

    J Kidd can't shoot
    Nash can get mugged on defense
    Chauncey can't run a fast break (that's why you always see him shoot a pull up 3 even if its a 3 on 1 break)

    Yes Manu flops at times but he doesn't flop that much anymore. If he was such a huge flopper at the defensive end how did he only rank 31st in the Nba for taking charges last year? Nash and Bell are 10 times the flopper that Manu is!
    I think it's more on offense, but I only watch the Spurs when they face Detroit or if they are facing a very good team.

    He's a Pussy!

    That aside he is a very good player but he throws alot of elbows and gets away with it.

    I think the hair really embelished Manu's flops.

    Without the hair, his flops aren't as convincing.

    Aside from the the flopping, I love the guy. I think he's got an odd looking shot and sometimes he's just way out of control, but he's super fun to watch and seems more passionate about the game than most players.

    what defines a pussy? playing injured? Coming off the bench? Getting the beat of him against Denver and Seattle in 2005 and playing through it? Being the actual finals MvP in 2005? Do everything for the betterment of the team? Never complaining to the Media?
    Naw, he's a pussy for laying out on the floor like he was dying when Kobe slapped him.

    Great player. His biggest strength is his heart and mental toughness. He wants to win as badly as anyone and will do whatever it takes on both ends of the floor. Very few players in the league have that killer instinct.

    A year ago I would say Ben too. Even though he left the Pistons in a negative way I feel bad for him.

    You shouldn't get criticized for saying that. When you're right you're right and I agree with you. Tony is one-demensional and thats why he struggles with the more physical teams that don't let him just waltz through the lane. When teams teams let him penetrate he wins Finals MVP but when they don't he's got nothing. With Tony it's kind of an all or nothing type of deal.
