Birthplace

Seraches on google show that he was born in Naperville, Illinois, but it says here that he was born in Des Moines, Iowa instead. Which one is true? --Smoothtofu 22:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think he was born in Des Moines and raised in Naperville Raguv2000 19:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anthony Parker was born in Naperville, Illinois. It says on his Player Profile on Yahoo! Sports he was born in Naperville, Illinois. It is a job so you can't lie they check your birth certificate so how can he lie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.41.184.116 (talk) 16:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

olympiakos b.c ofered him a contract about 4,5milion dollars per year!!also he told to the israeli media tha he 99% will move to pireus and olympiakos b.c!if that happen he will be the most high valued player in the europe!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.131.128.106 (talk) 07:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

jersey number

I deleted the second part of the sentence "Adopting a #18 jersey, in honor of his time in Israel (18 is a lucky number in Judaism)". I have no idea why he chose that number, but it's not a lucky number in judaism for sure.

It IS a lucky number in Judaism, or at least meaningful. The numbers represent the work "Alive". This is also the reason why Israeli player Omri Casspi chose the number 18 after Tyreke Evans chose the number 13 when they were both drafted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yosifun (talk • contribs) 13:21, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition was unnecessary as the information was already presented in the previous section. Also, please learn how to format references properly. This is a GA and standards need to be kept. Chensiyuan (talk) 14:11, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
