Feeding The Post: Parker Scores Big And I Don't Mean Eva Longoria

"... if I make my jump shots, I can do whatever I want."

You have to love that braggadoccio coming from San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker who dropped 55 points on the Minnesota Timberwolves last night in a Spurs double-overtime victory, their first of the season. With Parker's 22-for-36 display of offensive proficiency from the floor, as well as a last second shot to force a second overtime, the Spurs avoided an 0-4 start, which would have been for the first time since they were in the ABA. In any case, Parker never looked so good since he last stood next to his wife, Eva Longoria.

The luckiest man on earth (Parker), wasn't the only player in the Association showing off their chest hair on the court by snapping nets at a high rate last night as the Phoenix Suns' Amare Stoudemire notched 49 points versus the Indiana Pacers, starting the game 10-for-10 from the field, finishing 17-for-21, and hitting 15 straight shots from the charity stripe, ending up with 49 points. But, unfortunately, still no Eva Longoria.

As far as the Stephon Marbury/New York Knicks saga goes, Marbury will make his money by sitting on the bench. Yes, that will be the richest pair of buttocks ever ($21.9 dollars). Hmm... there's an Eva Longoria comment there, but don't think I'll go down that road.
