Tony, what’s your impression on the first two wins of France vs Spain and Lebanon at the World Championship ?
I am thrilled for them. I watched the games this weekend. The team made two great performances. The win over Spain started the compe ion the best way it could be. I think Spain didn’t take it seriously. And we proved we were in. Against Lebanon, France played seriously during the whole game. Now we have to keep on playing this way and win Canada to assure our qualification.
What can you tell us about Andrew Albicy ?
I’ve never seen him play before. I saw him for the first time against Spain when he subs uted to Nando (De Colo) who was in difficulty. I was happily surprised like a lot of people. In spite of his lack of experience at this level, he stayed cool. He did a great job.
How’s your preparation doing ?
Since August 1st, I’m in Los Angeles. I practice 3hrs a day and I scrupulously follow the Spurs program. From 9 to 10.30 I practice shooting with Chip Engelland. He hired a 6.11 player to force me practice rainbow shots. Chip is away this week and Jacque Vaughn stood in for him. He joined the Spurs staff this summer. It’s gonna be nice to work with my former teammate. Anyway, I was lucky to play with different players this month like Mike Dunleavy Junior, DeJuan Blair or Brent Barry. It was very rewarding.
After a month of hard work, did you improve ?
When you shoot a hundred times a day during a month you obviously improve. At least that ‘s how I feel. Besides basketball, I do physical training from 10.30 to 12.00. The Spurs physical trainer makes all my body work. It’s an exhausting work out but very nice though. It’s the first time since I started NBA that I work so hard in the summertime. But all the NBA players who want to improve and come back even better every season go through this.
When will you stop ?
We stop on September 17th since I’ll be in France the day after. I’m going to my brothers’ games Pierre (on the 18th in Cergy) and Terrence (on the 25th in Orchies). Besides, I’ll attend a charity dinner with Eva (« Par cœur » Gala on September 20th) and some various sponsor operations. Of course, I’ll spend some time in Lyon. I’ll be there on Thursday 23rd and leave on Saturday morning. So I‘ll be at the home game of the Euroleague Qualifying round. And then I’ll go back to San Antonio to start practice on September 29th.

No.Doesnt Kobe do a 1000 shots a day every day for life
correct. He shoots 10,000
Sounds like Tony is gonna sign somewhere else next summer.
lol
100 shots a day is like 10 minutes of shooting a day. WTF??
thats what I was thinking. For a guy with a shot like Tony's, especially following the regression last year, I can't say hes doing enough...
Relax, at least he's got Jacque Vaughn to teach him how to shoot
100 shots in 1.5 hours? Naw, that's ridiculously little for that amount of time.
It's just a bad translation.
The original sentence is: "Quand on shoote plusieurs centaines de fois par jour depuis un mois, il y a obligatoirement une amélioration"
The correct translation is:
"When you shoot many hundred times a day for a a month, there is automatically an improvement"
maybe so, but 1.5 hours doesnt seem like enough for Tony.
Some true new great material for the Parker haters (I like them, they are so ridiculous).
Parker in today's newspaper:
Do you regret you choice of not playing the World championship?
I'm a little sad but deep inside of me, I know I've made the right choice. My body needed this break. As a result, I'm feeling damn great now. I will be with the NT next summer and the five following years because there are a lot to do with the Eurobasket, Olympic games, the 2014 world championship and maybe the 2015 Eurobasket if France get the hosting. And what the French national team does this summer, promises a good future. I'm so happy to see Ian Mahinmi playing like that. I'm really proud of him."
?From 9 to 10.30 I practice shooting with Chip Engelland
I know the Spurs have a shooting drill where you take a hundred 3-pointers from around the line. I remember there was an article about it... Brent Barry had the record for 96/100 made and I don't remember if it was broken by someone.
Point is..... 100 shots is nothing if that's just 1 drill during the course of a workout.
= no plans of returning to Spurs.
wow. now people are ing about how the guy is working out in the summer. ridiculous.
If he stays healthy during the Spurs season then there would be no reason for him to sit out NT play. As long as he stays healthy for the Spurs than he will probably play for them. Only thing keeping him out this year was the many injuries he had during the regular season.= no plans of returning to Spurs.

it's been a fun ride Tony, have a great time in New York
Parker's work ethic has been on full display since our last championship. Just watch his jumper...you know he stopped working on it a few years back. Parker fans would dispute that. But how can you disputes tony's words?
It’s the first time since I started NBA that I work so hard in the summertime.
His jumper has done nothing but improve over the years.... are you serious?
he himself said that after thirty, he would be hesitant to play in the summer.
This 180 tells me everything I need to know.
it peaked and went away again. Last year his jumper looked like it did his first few years in the league.
You seriously didn't notice?
in '09 we will never know if his shot was still there, because he spent all his time driving to the cup.
He was in and out forced to injuries all season last year, including a broken bone in his hand... and did you not watch the dallas series? his jump shot was what ultimately won and closed out game 3 of that series.
