The city of Memphis did not roll out the southern hospitality for Spurs guard Tony Parker. First Parker was denied a table at Iris restaurant. Although the head chef later claimed it was simply because they were at capacity, not any ill will towards the Spurs. Then during game three of the Western Conference finals, Grizzlies fans held up cut outs of Tony’s ex-wife, Eva Longoria.
Clearly none of this made a difference as the Spurs are now up 3-0 just one game away from another finals appearance.
Confirmed MT @memphisacp: Tony Parker tried to eat dinner @restaurantiris and was denied service by @kelly_english. Can you confirm or deny?

We have a thirteen table restaurant. There have been times I couldn’t get my wife or parents in. I can’t create a table, Tony Parker or not.
