Tony Parker is the best Point Guard of his generation

[Black Mamba's B]

Parker has been in the running for mvp the last couple seasons. He has developed over the years, he's a hof no doubt

[T_L_P]

Theres very few that have been in the league that could sustain what Parker has.. CP3 wasnt even in the league for 3 out of 4 spurs championships.. and the only year he was in the league was 07, where Parker won a FMVP over prime Duncan.

Kidd was too old by 07 to keep it going.. Parkers still an MVP candidate in 2012 and 2013.

There are not 20 PGs who couldve replicated what Parker has done 03 through 13. If were talking primes maybe 3 or 4 from the 2000s

Firstly, I never once stated that there were 20 PGs who could replace Parker. All-time perhaps there are, but definitely not from the 2000s. And don't insinuate that Parker was actually better than Duncan in '07 -- the Regular Season, the Playoffs or the Finals. Duncan and Manu were much better up until the Finals, so they received the most attention from the Cavs' defense. Parker simply abused the biggest mismatch in Finals history.

But there are years where another Point Guard probably would have won it all with Duncan. Parker has been one of the most inconsistent "star" players in league history. In the '04 WCSF (against the Lakers) he sucked. In the '05 Finals he sucked. In the '06 WCSF (against the Mavs) he sucked. There have been times where Parker was a detriment to the Spurs as a whole because of his inability to see what he was doing wrong. His only time as a true star was when Duncan was on the decline

From '09 through to '13 Parker was a damn incredible player. But people like H0oopCityJones think he's played this well his entire career, just because his name is Tony Parker.

Whats with the face? If Parker's skill is all Pop like you're suggesting , then idk why it's so outlandish to suggest the same of Duncan.

-Pop's record before Duncan
-Pop's success since Duncan's decline

"They can talk about Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Deron Williams and Chris Paul. I still have the most rings." -Tony Parker



I think he would get more praise if he was American.

Classic example of the overuse of the ring argument.

Parker in 13 finals

16/2/6 on 47% TS

And hardly anyone even mentioned it. That is how you know a player isn't considered a legit MVP of the league or a true "star"...

Hes not an MVP.. still a candidate. Finished 5th and 6th the past two years.


And itd be cool to see his stats before OT in game 6 as well as clutch data.. he hit the go ahead and tying shots in both games 1 and 6.. two of the closest most pivotal games.. while most the others were blowouts

[r0drig0lac]

do not know if the best of all generation, but for sure if I want to win'm picking him before overrated chris paul

[Brizzly]

Don't let any Duncan stans know, they think he was no better than DFish.

He wasn't anything special first year he won.

If a real star had these stats they would be crucified

Parker won fmvp in 2007 just as someone said due to Duncan and manu getting so much attention and that 2007 title by the spurs is probably the most underwhelming title there has ever been. Beating a much weaker cavs team.

So what?

A legit star plays like that and there would be huge backlash.

Imagine Chris Paul having a finals like that...LOL

Parker is great...really damn good, but there is a reason why nobody really cared.

Wasn't Parker playing injured?

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

He was never even top 3

A Chris Paul led team lost by nearly 60 in a home playoff game and nobody really cared. Also averaged 13 points on 37% shooting against the Spurs a few years ago, and again, nobody said anything.
