It would be safe to assume that John and Rhonda Till, parents of two year old Parker Duncan Ginobili Till, and residents of Greensboro, North Carolina, are fans of the San Antonio Spurs. Like, really big fans. Apparently, while the Spurs were dynasty building in 2005, the Tills were debating what to name their son. Then the kind of obvious occurred to them, the Greensboro News & Record reports:
Parker's nice, they agree, while point guard Tony Parker does his floor general bit.
Duncan's not so bad either, John suggests, as former Wake Forest star Tim Duncan leaps over players to score a basket.
Rhonda approves. Then John goes too far.
'What about Ginobili?' he says, referring to Argentinian guard Emanuel David 'Manu' Ginobili. 'He's the other superstar on the team. We've got to have him in.'
An adamant Rhonda says: 'No way.'
But apparently a "weak moment" around the time of their son's birth by Rhonda led to Ginobili getting squeezed into his name as well. And now, Parker Duncan Ginobili Till is two years old and able to watch what could be another Spurs championship, even if he -- apparently -- has no idea what the mess is going on. Now, personally, I think this is really cool (and I totally respect the guy for talking his wife into it). Reggie Smoltz Brentson Brinson. I like the sound of that.
