[quote=pgardn]Pop stuck with him because he was young.
And because he was the fastest guy in the NBA.
Is that Talent...? Parker made himself talented. He had no perimeter
game and was very weak going to the basket. Both
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.
