[@kirols]

Oh Tony is from France. I am so dumb I never knew that.

[@websterh530]

​@@kirols Spurs had a lot of Internatinal players, TP and Boris Diaw from France, Manu from Argentina, Tiago from Brazil, Patty Mills from Australia, Pau Gasol from Spain, Marco Belinelli from Italy. Compared to American players, International players love team basketball and that is Spurs style. I think that is why the ball runs so fluent and the plays are so fun to watch in early 10s Spurs games.

[@viviyep]

@@kirols haha, don't be too harsh on yourself. Given his last name (and the fact that his father was indeed american) there is no reason you would know, except that you might have seen him playing for France during olympic games for instance

[@hashhood3394]

Duncan is usually revered by people as the "system" of the Spurs and it is true for the most part. But THAT 2014 team? The "system" in the beautiful game era Spurs was Parker.

[@valentinmoulin1393]

Hash Hood and his 2013 Finals until the Ray Allen shot was perfect. He made the team plays a beautiful game against, it’s my opinion the best Miami Heat back in 2013.

[@cactusjack2264]

Fr, true point gawd lol

[@rubenangelmartinez2952]

Tony Parker is a layup god. His tough drives to the rim, tough layups and finishes, and his assists are crazy.

[@pr3ttyb0yfl4cko]

When people mention about speed, most of the time names like D. Rose or D. Wade comes in. But man, Tony Parker was damn swift, he got that sleek quickness. Dude smoothly drive between 2-3 defenders like a hot knife on a butter and loses them quickly on his signature spin for an amazing finish. He's underrated even until now. His name rarely comes in on discussions about best point guards in the league. But man, only a few real ones know how insane he was. 🔥

[@mrlocolugo]

Tony is so underrated man 🤧 One of the Greatest finishers and quickest guards the league has ever seen. So smart and experienced. He’s paved the way for many other European players with his example and successful career.

[@robotube7361]

Yeh but no european was as quick as he is. Still I think he is the fastest European ever to play in the NBA

[@fangsdeguzman4982]

That spin move was pretty sick 👀 Merci Tony!

[@ItsTMY]

Tony Parker played with so much heart. You can see how much of his body he sacrifices just to make a play.

[@Jon23189]

Yea that injury a couple years ago was mainly due to wear and tear I would assume

[@user-fy1wq3ew2t]

This team was so good

[@postaboy2001]

I’m here to say that the NBA 75 has majorly messed up by not including this man or even talking about his accomplishments. Severely due to having teammates like Duncan, Robinson, Kawhi, Ginobili, even coach Pop all overshadowed Tony Parker. Top 10 PG’s of ALL TIME. I’m here to debate this if you feel like losing badly.

[@JustAnotherAlex]

Man I felt the same way when I saw the list and Tony Parkers name was not on it. Absolutely criminal to leave him out and instead have Westbrook in there.

The term ‘unguardable’ gets thrown around way too much, but TP in his prime was truly unguardable off the dribble going into the paint. He cooked everyone.
