Wondering what Tony Parker is up to these days, Google told me

" Virgil Anthony Parker (born September 18, 1993)[1] is an American basketball player who last played for the Aguacateros de Michoacán of the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP)."

So undrafted Tony Porker ended up playing for a Mexican basketball team with a name that has something to do with avocados and he seems to be currently between jobs.

I think the more important info is we could have been calling him Virgil this whole time.

I realize I reacted with a facepalm emoji, but this is actually probably for the best.

We can expect the negative stories about him to increase, because the media hates being snubbed, but the negative stories won't be based on anything stupid Kyrie says.

It's like constant performance art with him.

Let's be real. All of this would be seen as merely weird and quirky if he wasn't refusing to talk to the media and calling them pawns. NBA fans still love him.

Another good game by Giles last night. His numbers last season were pretty good for his 14 minutes of action, too. I don't understand why the Kings let him go.

Randomly stumbled across this video and really enjoyed it. It got me a little depressed though. I don't think I appreciated just how great a passer Tre really was.

I'm a little skeptical that a 22-year-old has grown two inches, but...

I don't get it. Is there a running joke that he's 19?

Yes. Podcasters and NBA Twitter kept talking about how he was "only 19" whenever he'd do something impressive. Eventually people started making fun of the people saying that.

Speaking of His Undraftedness, I don't think I'd seen this posted yet, unless it got lost in the Javin basket discussion.

Pretty good news for Marques. This year, the two-way is not too much different from a minimum deal. He gets to play in up to 50 games for the Cavs, and gets paid $450k.

Celts, get on that. I think he can help their guard depth
