All I know is that peak Manu is a top 100 player ever...
Who was a more dangerous offensive player in their respective peaks?
Don't include defense. This is not a who is a better player thread.

I'd say Manu...especially since Tony's efficiency almost always took a major hit in the playoffs.
Manu, easily.
Who cares?right how neither is very good
Porker was exposed as a bum once he lost his burst of speed ala Ty Lawson.
Manu is probably still better Parker, offensively.
Not sure how this is relevant considering OP is asking about their offenses at their peak.Porker was exposed as a bum once he lost his burst of speed ala Ty Lawson.
Parker >>> Thompson >>>>> Manure
Manu for sure. In his peak he helped take out the early '00's Lakers and Pistons. All while Parker had to be saved by backups. And pretty much every time Parker dominated we lost or got reverse swept (except 07, but that win was all about Bowen).
Can't speak too much about Prime Manu, but Prime Parker may be the only PG around which a team could build a post-centric offense. The stuff he used to be able to do with the ball would push the hopes people are having for Leonard and LMA on that end to shame. Manu would easily be the best two-guard in the game right now, while I'm not sure that Prime Tony would be ahead of Curry or even CP3. So that's something else to consider.
Porker in his PRIME had trouble against quick PGs that were wet-behind-the-ears: Devin Harris('06)/Conley('11).
Boobie Gibson/Eric Snow might as well have been statues
It's a shame he didn't dominate Fisher in 2008, thb.
Prime Manu is a top 5 SG to ever play the game.
Give me Prime Manu over Prime Parker any day of the week.
Manu could score driving to the basket, pulling up from mid-range, pulling up from 3, elite passer, great defender both on and off ball. The guy was a monster.
Its a shame how Parker cherry picked the Finals MVP from TD in 07' exploiting his matchup vs. a D-Leaguer and stat padding. It's a shame how people think Parker was the best player that run just because he got Finals MVP. Duncan was by far the best player and was the MVP of the Suns series (which was essentially the Finals that year).Porker in his PRIME had trouble against quick PGs that were wet-behind-the-ears: Devin Harris('06)/Conley('11).

Still bugs me he got it that year. Should have been TD.
really is the dead part of the season if player vs player threads are starting back up, ah well football will be here soon enough. As for me give me MVParker.
I would use the 2005 finals against a strong defensive Pistons team, the defending champs, as a measure to answer the question.
Since you say offensive threat as in overall offensive package and not just scoring then the only answer honestly is Manu. His passing/vision puts a large ass gap between the two. Tony's vision quite frankly didn't extend much beyond his "find Duncan" two-man game. Manu could create all over the floor. And also, put a tall person on Parker or have him go up against any semblance of a physical defense and he's ing done for the series. Manu could punish most any type of player or defense with his style.
Parker/thread.
Everyne knows in his prime manu was by far the better player,more dominant.manu probably has a higher chance at hof.we also have this thread every season.
Pink the OP, tbh.
2009 ST tbh
Today's Spurstalk lol
