i believe so..very contradicting for the hoopsworld to say parker is the team leader...

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan

Attempts to make cases for Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili are certainly possible, but they wouldn't hold much water. Outside of Kobe Bryant in L.A. Duncan is the closest to a sure thing franchise player out there. He may not be as young as he used to be and he may have a lot of miles, but Duncan is indisputably a team leader and respected by opponents, coaches, teammates and media all across the league. Oh yeah, and he's also a two-time NBA MVP, three-time NBA Finals MVP, has four NBA championship rings and is a 10-time NBA All-Star. Those are the kinds of things that make a franchise player.
