Is that Talent...? Parker made himself talented. He had no perimeter

of those things have changed through very hard work.
And because of proper strength training he is actually strong now.

tony parker is "strong"? P, you have to stop. Tony parker was a first round draft pick before it was fashionable to find the next great euro. He wasnt just fast. You can't start 72 games for a playoff team and just be "fast". Just stop. Please.

Tony Parker, or anyone else for that matter, can't "make himself talented". You either have it or you don't. You can develop talent and thus make talent manifest but it has to be there from the start. If you start 72 games your rookie year as a 1st round draft choice, you obviously have talent and you obviously have developed it to some degree.

Lets just talk about something else.

oh good lord...
ok you are right, talented, I used it improperly.

Tony Parker made himself the best player the
currently have Spurs.
Hows that...

pgardn: And yes he is strong.

Dala: but he did not win the Iron man competition.
Glen Davis is strong, not Parker.

Pgardn: He is basketball strong in that he can now physically
bully to the basket, get fouled while making the basket, and
then step up to the foul line for and one...

I use the English language very poorly over the internet.
I rush, and I dont care much how I present arguments.
I will try to go slowly and show selectivity with my
sports vocabulary. I also spell very poorly, chop up sentences,
and generally run on. Too much math in my head.
A sickness that comes with Physics. I actually use to be
able to see words in my head spelled out. No more.
