Let's pretend Parker gets another ring + FMVP

[0000000]

How ironic is this, Spurs fan is th only one arguing for AI lol.

Anyway, AI is just better. Even though Parker is very underrated.

AI played in the wrong era of basketball for him, when players had to have defined positions and tweeners were bad for team success, players really had to have defined positions 10 years ago. I remember thinking at the time, no way AI or Dirk even win a championship. But basketball has changed a lot, Nowadays, it's combo guards and stretch 4's that really are most effective. And centers are smaller, too.

AI would fit much beter in today's game.

The only way Spurs beat Miami is if parker offensively dominates his matchup.

And if he does win he will join a short list of all time greats to do it.

Maybe people will then appreciate SAS as a whole unit.

So after he is named 2nd team all nba for the 2012-2013 season, and if hwe were to win FMVP this year...

Who had the greater career? Tony Parker or Allen Iverson?

discuss

I'd rather have a lot of Championships than one MVP award but I just want to make the distinction that although I'd prefer Parker's career Iverson was the better player. Let Iverson play with Duncan and Ginobili his whole career and he'd have won some rings too.

AI is the better basketball player, Parker has the better career.

[Nero Tulip]

Parker is the better player, and had a better career. No disrespect but right now offensively Parker is about the same level as prime Steve Nash when he's healthy. Iverson isn't even close.

And if you look at their stats from a per 36 basis, Parker has the much higher overall assist totals. You gotta remember, the Spurs are usually up big on teams lately, mainly due to Parker. If he played 40 MPG like Iverson, his stats would be inflated as well.

Parker in this hypothetical scenario (and I don't even know why this is a discussion)

If TP gets another ring, his 4 championships and 2 FMVPs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than AI's one MVP.

[kNicKz]

No, in the eyes of true basketball fans, AI was the greatest story that never was, He got the talent but destoryed himself by not polishing it.

By not taking his talents to south beach?

AI was better than parker ever will be. If AI had shaq it would be a similar dynasty to kobe

Don't forget 7 All-NBA teams, 11 All Star teams, and leading the league in scoring a few times when Kobe, Carter, McGrady, etc, were at their height.

In 2 of Parker's rings he was merely a role player.

How pathetic do you have to be to dog a dude like that on your favorite team?

Leading the league in scoring when that's pretty much your sole purpose, while having the talent isn't the hardest feat in the NBA.

Could you imagine if every top 20 players sole purpose was to lead the league in scoring like Iverson. The PPGs average would be skyrocketing.

I don't get it either. That's like having one of the sickest scoring PGs ever on your team, and you just trash his ass, because you like Iverson better.

2003 playoffs: 15 ppg (.40 FG%) and 3.5 apg ... (14 ppg in the Finals)

2005 playoffs: 17 ppg (.45 FG%) and 4.3 apg ... (14 ppg in the Finals)

Does that seem like an AS to you?

[ripthekik]

come on guys.. could parker lead his own team to the finals?
AI is just a better ball player. If an AI-led team went up against Parker-led team, AI would shit all over him like tyronn lue.
