[timvp]

Wow. Huge award by TP. It's been more than a decade since the Spurs got a POTM :wow

[elemento]

Congrats to TP

The most unappreciated Spur (in ST) ever .

[TDomination]

Wow, that is huge. Parker never ceases to amaze me. You think he is about to hit his peak and he just keeps getting better and better.

[Frenchie]

Well deserved. It's just amazing how Tony is still able to improve his already big resume...

[RodNIc91]

I cant believe manu never won one

[spurs_2108]

Since 2002! Insane.

[timvp]

Tony Parker's January
33.3 Minutes Per Game
21.9 Points Per Game
2.5 Rebounds Per Game
7.9 Assists Per Game
.563 Field Goal Percentage
.353 Three-Point Field Goal Percentage
.779 Free Throw Percentage

The Spurs go 12-3 despite Duncan and Ginobili missing four games and Pop missing three games.

[spurraider21]

i guess the league took notice of his big 4th quarters in games where either TD or Manu were sitting out. Props to Tony. sorry, ElNono

sorry about what? :lol

well deserved, tbh

[Trainwreck2100]

well deserved, tbh

u hit dem squats yet, brah?

[BatManu20]

Here, here! Well deserved award for our MVP. Keep it up, Tony.

[EVAY]

When you look at the two spurs that Pop has had the most 'developmental' impact on, they have to be Duncan and Parker, and both of their careers would argue that Pop really knows how to develop talent.

Well done, TP!

[ElNono]

u hit dem squats yet, brah?


dem squats are so early 2000's, tbh...

[Dex]

You think Speedy Claxton will come out to accept the award? :stirpot:

[spurraider21]

sorry about what? :lol

well deserved, tbh
I know you're not exactly the biggest fan of hero :lol but its all good I know we're all on the same side... except maybe playblair aka dejuan's mom.

but in general, can we stop calling him underappreciated? top 5 in mvp voting last year, right up there again this year, an all-star berth again and a player of the month, right along lebron lol

[Trainwreck2100]

you know what else was early 2000's...............Spurs championships.

Spurs POTM Award Recipients:

David Robinson four times (January 1991, February 1994, March 1995, March 1996)

Tim Duncan three times (March 1999, December 2001, April 2002)

George Gervin one time (January 1980)

Alvin Robertson one time (December 1985)

and now

Tony Parker one time (January 2013)





Notes: POTM began in 1980 so it wasn't available for Gervin to win his entire career. They split the award into Eastern Conference and Western Conference in 2002, so that means two of Duncan's were sole POTM and all four of Robinson's were sole POTM.

And prepare to sprain your eyeballs as you roll your eyes into the back of your brain when considering this .... The Spurs were long overdue for this award. Since the last time a player from the Spurs won a POTM award, Kobe Bryant had won it 12 times. Yes T-W-E-L-V-E times. That's just laughable.

Props to TP, great job :tu

[crc21209]

Congrats to TP, and well deserved! :toast But damn, a Spur hadnt won POTM since 2002? What a joke NBA...:td I'm sure Manu or Tim should have easily taken one of these in at least ONE month from the 2003-2007 seasons...

:lol 12 times? Wow....what BS...

[hooperflash]

Just give him NBA's Player of the Month! ;) Congrats TP!

[therealtruth]

If TP can play like a player of the month in April-Jun we might be able to win #5. It's a big "if". When defense are concentrated and shutting down the lane can he still be effective?

[manu the best]

Well deserved!! Good job tony.. Keep up the mvp caliber season going..

[Brunodf]

:wow Gratz Tony

[spursfan09]

:tu

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Really surprised that Duncan hasn't gotten it since 2002.

[spurraider21]

[FromWayDowntown]

Hero ball rewarded TBH, QFT

[boutons_deux]

Chapeau, Tony! Allez les argents et noires!

aaaaaand there it is

[FromWayDowntown]

Really, any player who scores more than 15 ppg is categorically obsessed with his numbers, refuses to get his teammates involved, and can't possibly be anything other than a Hero Baller.

[AFBlue]

Still not unstoppable tbh

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol did he credit his shitty award for splitter who was consistent this month?

the scrub who takes all the credit, while team gets the blame when they lose....

[thispego]

Really surprised its been 10 years since any spur has won. Who else are they going to? That's just crazy

[Russo21]

Timmy only 3 Player of the Months? LMAO what a bullshit award. Tim coulda and shoulda won most POTM from 1998-2007. They were 10 of the most consistantly great and successful 10 years you'll ever see. What a load of shit.

[mystargtr34]

:lol at Tim not winning a player of the month during his 02/03 MVP season.

when he gets ranked higher than 7-9th then we can talk. When he gets ranked higher than a 40 year old nash, we can talk.

[Obstructed_View]

Really surprised its been 10 years since any spur has won. Who else are they going to? That's just crazy

The voters likely look at a chart. It's possible they just pull up the scoring numbers for the month. Kobe will get it next month for his new-found passing abilities, whether or not the Lakers are above .500 while he does it.

[Bambililos]

OK, let's talk.

Over coffee, tea, or a Jester King Black Metal?

LOL, well good, I am glad that he is finally getting a little recognition by at least one guy. It is laughable when you have people putting this season's nash over parker, or guys like curry, rubio, westbrook, etc.

[Cry Havoc]

Still not unstoppable tbh

Yeah, I mean, ANYONE can score 30 points in a game on 56% shooting. :eyeroll

[Pauleta14]

http://www.nba.com/mvp-ladder/2012-13/index.html

Did you read their comments on Tony?

LOL UNDERATED? really?

I dont see what this ball hog is doing that seperates himself from the other scrub pgs in the league playin on scrub rebuilding teams, he is clearly benefiting playing on a stacked overrated team with a overrated coach at the helms...

[Cry Havoc]

Props to Tony. Well deserved for one of the most underrated players in league history. The guy is the heart of this team right now.

[Bambililos]

I know, it took them a long time but they're finally talking about him. Obviously they wanted to ignore him (or anything Spurs related), but now, with the All-Star nod, the PoW, PoM and now this, I think he's getting some recognition.

[spursfan09]

All he has to do is keep doing what he's doing and he will continue to get recognized.

[Brazil]

Props that's a nice recognition that just a few spurs players have had :tu

[Captivus]

Parker shouldn't be behind Carmelo.

San Antonio Spurs ‏@spurs (https://twitter.com/spurs) Congratulations to @tp9network (https://twitter.com/tp9network), the NBA’s Western Conference Player of the Month! http://www.nba.com/spurs/news/130201_parker_pom …

(http://t.co/bsJHwOv5)San Antonio Spurs ‏@spurs (https://twitter.com/spurs) Parker is the first Spur to receive the honor since Tim Duncan in 2002, and only the fifth recipient in franchise history.


(http://t.co/bsJHwOv5)It must really hurt all the Parker haters and critics to see him play so well and be so respected by coaches that he makes the All-Star roster in a Western Conference that has so many fine PGs that were left off.

[AFBlue]

Yeah, I mean, ANYONE can score 30 points in a game on 56% shooting. :eyeroll

Is that what he did against the Thunder in the playoffs last year? I'm sorry that I hold him to a higher standard and that regular season awards mean jack at this point.

I won't think Tony is underrated until he carries this team as far as it can go and doesn't get turned into a wholly ineffective player over a span of multiple games.

The first thing to go for Parker in the playoffs is his efficiency against a team with a good defensive gameplan.

[spursfan09]

Parker slapping the face of his biggest critics!!! Ignorant spur fans who hope for him to fail.

No. He only outplayed Refsbrook in the WCF last year. That's all.

u actually think he outplayed WB wcf? only thing he did was call the idiot out and didnt do shit in that series, call it what u want whether brick was outplayed or not, it was 2 clowns trading baskets and the brick got the better end of it cause his team won...

[therealtruth]

Nobody's hoping for him to fail. Just hoping for him to show up when it counts. Give him credit for the Finals MVP in '07. He needs more moments like that even if he isn't going against a rookie or hobbled player.

[racm]

No. He only outplayed Refsbrook in the WCF last year. That's all.

Gee, I don't know, let's see:

Parker's WCF stats: 21.5 ppg, 6.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 TOs, 1 steal, on 48.1% shooting.

Refsbrook: 18.2 ppg, 7.3 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 TOs, 1.5 steals, on 37.8% shooting.

Parker also shot 80% at the stripe compared to Refsbrick's 74%.

Man, yeah, that's tough. It's almost like Parker scored more at a higher efficiency while turning the ball over less.

[superbigtime]

Tony's awesome. Way to go Tony!

[will_spurs]

Funny part is that his average grade by timvp is still 87.7 or so for the season. And that's on a season where he's likely to finish top 5 in the MVP vote again.

[Mel_13]

Funny part is that his average grade by timvp is still 87.7 or so for the season. And that's on a season where he's likely to finish top 5 in the MVP vote again.

Well that makes perfect sense. MVP voting ranks TP against other players in the NBA. timvp's grades rate TP's performance against an optimal version of TP.

[will_spurs]

It does not make perfect sense at all, because the 13 remaining points don't exist. He'd have to average 40 points, 15 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals on 70% shooting and be unrelenting on offense and never make a mistake on defense just to reach 95, at this stage.

That, or you're telling me Lebron would average 90 on the same scale (which would be equally ridiculous).

[024]

good for parker. he's really the only hope for the spurs to win a championship. he'll have to dial up to superstar level in the playoffs and carry the team. duncan and ginobili are too old so it's really all up to parker.

[Mel_13]

Of course it does. You simply don't value TP as highly as timvp does.

This. Parker has had good regular seasons in the past. He needs to put together a complete post season run and be able to handle long defenders, switches on the pick and roll, and teams packing the paint.

88, tbh.

It's forgotten now but TP had a relatively slow start to the season. Early on, Duncan was carrying the team. It wasn't until that game against the Celtics on the road did Parker start playing extremely well.

Parker has been 94+ in his recent stretch of awesomeness and 90+ since he caught fire.

The Spurs go 12-3 despite Duncan and Ginobili missing four games and Pop missing three games.

It's the assists and 3-point percentage that really stand out to me. It just shows the massive improvement that he's made in his game - he went from being a below-average distributor with limited to range to a great distributor with decent range.

Props Tony!

[Bruno]

It's weird how Parker turned into a beast this season as soon as he started wearing his Peak shoes.

I was going to mention Harden when I saw the thread had been resurrected. He's had an amazing month too, and his 46 pts the other night against the Thunder garnered a lot of attention. For the month: 30.4P / 7.6R / 7.3A / 56.5% FG, team record 5-3, 3 games to go in February.

Remaining games with NBA defensive rank in parentheses:

Parker: Golden State(20), Phoenix(23), and Phoenix(23).

Well, considering that Kobe has "won" that award 16 times, repeating shouldn't penalize. Then again, that could be a Kobe only rule.

LeBron has won it like every month...and he has deserved it.

[timaios]

The team record is really important. If the Spurs win the last 3 games (Warriors + Suns x2), they will be 10-1 in February with 9 road games and with Tim, Manu, Jack and Kawhi missing a lot of games... That will be a no brainer for Parker.

The price of flying under the radar.
Tim has more mvp's than Kobe tbh

[Brazil]

harden had also a monster month of February

[phxspurfan]

I think Harden deserves it just for beasting on his old team.

[ace3g]

right now both conferences CotM have been announced, and LeBron is mentioned on twitter as ECPotM, must be a tough decision for the West because no rumors/names mentioned.

I don't think Parker should or will get him. Between injuries, not so great games and a couple of losses, he hasn't ended well the month.

Harden or Westbrook should get it.

The loss vs the Suns killed the Parker chances IMO...

harden win only 50% and OKC had 1 more lose than the spurs

Lol Kobe got it. What a joke.

Play of the Month Awards
Kobe Bryant: 17
The Entire San Antonio Spurs Organization Combined: 10



Farcical.

[Darkwaters]

Well, considering that Kobe has "won" that award 16 times, repeating shouldn't penalize. Then again, that could be a Kobe only rule.

:lmao

Well, thats
Kobe: 17
Spurs: 10

Totally ridiculous how skewed that award is.

[freetiago]

LMAO at Kobe winning it wow
should have been Harden or Parker

[racm]

tbf, maybe they saw Parker go 0-2 in his last two games of the month (and missed two games altogether - out of 11) while Bryant played in all 13 Lakers games this month.
