Welcome to Younghollywood. com. Hey guys, it's Michelle Marie here with Young Hollywood. We are here with NBA star Tony Parker. We're here for the launch of EA Sports NBA Live 09 and you are the coverboy. How does it feel?
I thought my agent was joking when he called me and tell me you're on the cover. especially where I came from, you know, from France and it was a big dream for me.
You're known to be one of the quickest players in the NBA. Your teardrop shots, your layups, all that has been emulated on this game. How accurate is it for 09?
The game is very special this one because I did the motion capture. I was to Vancouver. So I did all my moves, my teardrops, so they got all my secrets. So they have everything now.
So how do you keep your game fresh if they have all the secrets right there in the game?
Keep improving. You have to keep improving. Learning from the right here. Okay. Make a pass, make a pass. Shoot it again. Hey, you go. There you go. She made a shot. She made a shot. She's getting the hang of this guys.
I'm learning from the pro right here. You've had three championships, MVP 07, the hottest wife in Hollywood. You've had so much success over the years.
I've been very blessed, you know, playing in a great team and uh and uh having great teammates and winning championships and and meeting my wife, you know, so it's a lot of stuff, you know, I feel like I'm very lucky.
You guys definitely have one of the most highlighted marriages in Hollywood and you guys have a great image yourselves. How do you keep that image so good?
Uh for me it's just I think uh where we grew up, you know, my family, her family coming in coming up from uh from uh Texas and me from France. I just think uh we keep everything in perspective and we just try to enjoy our life and stay simple.
You compete against, you know, some of the best point guards in the game. Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis. You know, the Western Conference is known to have those players. Is it difficult for you to compete against them or do you find it more challenging?
Yeah, yeah, it's fun. It's it's a great challenge. You know, all the best point guards in the West and so every night you have to be ready. And uh it makes it exciting.
Who do you think is the best?
Me? No, I'm joking. I think if you have to do a top five, I put Chris Paul, uh Darren Williams, uh Baron Davis and Steve Nash.
But you're you're number one. Me?
You guys have a tendency to win championships every other year. Every other year you guys win. So should I just go to Vegas right now and put some money down on the Spurs?
You should. I think you should. Do you know and up like we won it last year, but we always bounce back pretty well. So hopefully if we stay healthy, you know, we can party end of June. Salut, c'est Tony Parker des San Antonio Spurs. Regardez Young Hollywood.
