The biggest need for the San Antonio Spurs is size. Aside from Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter, the Spurs depth at big men is scarce with an undersized DeJuan Blair (if the team doesn't trade him) and a one-dimensional player like Matt Bonner.
And with the team striking out in available big men in the offseason (Chris Kaman and Andray Blatche), the Spurs are set to work out center Kyrylo Fesenko next week according to SI.com.
Fesenko is a 25-year old, 7-1, 280 lbs., big man who last played with the Pacers (though saw a lot of time on the bench).

At this point, Fesenko might be the Spurs best option to help fill the...

San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker is certainly loved by the entire country of France so it shouldn't come as a huge surprise he is a target of satires on French TV.
Take this for example of puppet TP hitting the golf course and taking a swing. However, unlike the real Parker, this puppet isn't as coordinated like an finely tuned athlete and fails miserably.
