I guess after the begining of this EuroBasket, we can reopen this thread. He has been huge to start the movement in this team! And the first victories are much of his fact.
Playing for pennies is interesting. He coulda made millions playing somewhere else...
Overall, his attitude lately has been great. Yet, he plays for little money, but the money he gets is his own... he owns 50% of the club.
His sponsoring contracts improved by 1 million after the last French Eurobasket campaign.
He has represented the team greatly, never took some time off, made the first page in main French papers for the Final, and now for his signing in ASVEL. It is great considering at the same the Cup of the Little World of Rugby is happening.
he enlighted the fact France taught him basketball for free, through the Federal structure of INSEP, and he wants to give back. This attitude is very far from what you can see in French football recently.
Don't always like the man or his positions, but he is a great representant for basketball in France. Hope the Fed will take advantage of the recent successes and the presence of French NBAers in Pro A.
That's the way to go Good players staying with their teams from the start to the end earn additional respect from my side.
Can't stop laughing at "Parker signing with Knicks?" subtitle though. Those people really have no idea what to do with their money and how to assemble a competitive team.
