Hey guys ! French fan here. I was always wondering what Americans spurs fans thought about Tony Parker?

Do you guys like him ? Do you think he’s one of the reasons you got the rings ? Just curious…

    Love TP. He took Pop’s tough coaching like a man, got thrown into the fire in a win now situation, and helped the team achieve an insane amount of wins. He went from the worst starter in our team, to some fans wanting him off the bench in the early ring years, to Pop spamming him and Timmy every single game, to carrying a huge load when Tim and Manu were older. In his prime, opponents knew the Spurs would spam Tony and Timmy but they were powerless to stop it. He was such an attacking guard that some NBA fans would place more traditional point guards like Chris Paul ahead of him. Either way, I don’t think it’s crazy to say he was the best point guard in the league for at least 3 or 4 years.

    The personal scandals of cheating on his wife, sleeping with a teammate’s wife, and his relationship with Kawhi brought him down in some people’s eyes, which is understandable.
