San Antonio Spurs' Speedy and Wonderful Pointguard

If you are a San Antonio Spurs buff like me, there is no way that you wouldn't know the team's world-class pointguard Tony Parker. The speedy Tony Parker, who was born in the land of Belgium to an African-American father and a statuesque Dutch model, is a recognized citizen of France.

This past NBA season, I notice that Tony Parker is becoming more asertive in his plays and shot selections. Furthermore, I think he is becoming more vital to the Spurs line-up because of his superb passing ability and decisive shooting prowess. If not for him, Spurs would have not beat the driven Western Conference after the elimination. His abilities and abilities compliment well with Spurs' other players like Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. There are times when I feel that Spurs can let go of their primary man Duncan to look for another big threat and leave Parker as its primary gunner.

Despite Spurs loosing to Dallas in the Western Conference semifinals, Parker was able to prove to his buffs and to the management that he could be the next world-class pointguard in the world's premier basketball league. Still very young at 24, Parker will have richer and effective career in the NBA.
