Without a doubt the third best Spur of all time behind Duncan and D-Rob

[tholdren]

At least he's not eating.

[Spurtacular]

Without a doubt the third best Spur of all time behind Duncan and D-Rob

No way he's ahead of Manu.

[Mikeanaro]

Wow, if he could do that shit during actual games when it matters, not in some baby shower where any of us drunks can hit that shit.

[Chris]

No way he's ahead of Manu.

ugh not another Parker vs Manu thread but...Where's the Manu FMVP? Did Manu have a seaon comparable to Tony's 2008-2009 season? Who is the Spurs all time leader in assists? Solly cholly - Parker > Manu and there's no argument otherwise.

[SquawkinHawkBigCock]

Manutards :lmao

Spurs rang back to back if Manu wasn't busy giving the ball away for free to the Heat while Parker was draining clutch shot after clutch shot

The Fmvp media gave to him? He is not with Jordi, Pippy, Magic, drexler, Kobe, Lebrón, wade in playoff performances but Manuel belongs to that club, can you dig that shit?

[Ditty]

I wish he could of made a basket like that down the stretch in game five against OKC, when he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and missed a critical free throw to tie the game...

[dabom]

It's called no pressure. You should see his season vs playoff stats. :lmao

Manutards :lmao

So if Spurs rang in 2013 it would be thanks to Porker shooting 6/23?

[TheGreatYacht]

Only idiots truly believe Manure is better than MVParker, tbh :lol

Every Parker thread, they gotta mention Manure since they're so triggered

He redeemed himself in 2014. And frankly, Spurs win in 2015 if Parker isn't a fat ass.

[dabom]

Tony always shrinked in the biggest moments. Always been like that. Good thing we always had Manu or Tim to carry his sadbagging. :lol

This has to be one of the most clutch sequences in Finals history. Step-back 3 to tie the game, then a steal, then the go-ahead bucket. Dude was incredible in the clutch. Not to mention his game 1 shot.

Damn shame that Kiwi can't lead a team in scoring after the first round. Choking piece of shit.

Manure choking was expected though, it's what he does. A quitter. Just like he quit against OKC in Game 6 by fouling out in 15 minutes

[dabom]

Tony was the WORST FUCKING PLAYER EVER TO START FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP team. Played like a bag of shit for 6 games total. Let that sit it. :lmao

[dabom]

Manu game 6X6. :lmao

[ginobilized]

Parker was hitting clutch 3's in his rookie season. He has had an amazing run as the Spur's best point guard ever.
His winning percentage is inarguable.

Most NBA players can nail unbelievable shots in a low pressure situation. Has anyone seen the footage of Manu and Bonner playing horse? Unbelievable.

[K...]

Manu game 6X6. :lmao

Yeah and whats your point? choke the whole game away and making one basket at the end gives him GOAT status? he was 4/21 before that, do you think he was doing Spurs any favors?

[SquawkinHawkBigCock]

Yeah and whats your point? choke the whole game away and making one basket at the end gives him GOAT status? he was 4/21 before that, do you think he was doing Spurs any favors?
Him and his huge balls won the Spurs that game if not for the choked free throws. Period.

[Mikeanaro]

Him and his huge balls won the Spurs that game if not for the choked free throws. Period.
He is the main reason why Spurs lost, giving away a potentially 51 points advantage.

[SquawkinHawkBigCock]

He is the main reason why Spurs lost, giving away a potentially 54 points advantage.
And he still had the massive balls to make the second and third most clutch shots of the entire decade, and the first wouldn't have even happened had Manu and Kawhi not choked. Period.

You are delusional calling that shit like it was the second coming of Jesus, the NBA finals had a lot of classic shots and none of them were made by Tony ¨bailed by TD and Manu¨ Parker.

[spurtech09]

People can say what they want about Parker but tp has been solid out of his whole career....Young Tony Parker was a legit Baller....Haters can hate....shoot even at his age right now he still is way better than all the people in Spurstalk......including myself...

Horrible parenting. I would not send my kid to go camping with a POS who slept with his teammate's wife tbh.

:tu FIFY

[Spur|n|Austin]

Yup, but some of the jabronies here will argue against that.

[Biggems]

Gervin is #3 and it isn't even close.

Lol, I think I'll trust the consensus narrative on Parker before your hatorade. He was leading the MVP race before he got injured at the end of the season and then, as was constantly noted after his dominance in the WCF, he was being called the best player in the playoffs. Sorry you think he was playing like he was 20 years old...he wasn't. Even back then he was way better than Chalmers though.

Eric Snow was bad.

[EIC]

Notably, all the Parker nut-huggers' material ends after 2013. Whatever Parker was, dude is slow and fat now. It's all good, getting old happens, but the beef is that he hasn't refined his game and keeps trying to play the same old way. Why that cat gotta keep pressing the "hero-ball, dribble-nonstop" button when he's a shell of his former self? He needs to refine his 3-point and midrange game and look to facilitate, not run the shot clock down and then dump it off to Kawhi with 6 seconds on the clock.

[spurtech09]

Injury card? Please nigga dude was choking as usual, getting bailed by TD Manu Jax Bowen 50, Kerr any of those were miles away from his ass.Yes ever since his injury in the finals against the Heat the yr. Spurs lost Tony hasn't been the same....Since than Tony hasn't been Tony.......

[spurtech09]

Gotta show Tony some respect.....No doubt it ain't the best player but the dude is a solid player....Yes he is not what he use to be just like other players who get old.....they end up declining in age.....simple as that.....

[illusioNtEk]

hmmmmm looking good Parker keep it up

We are the Pork, we are the children
We are the ones who play at slower pace
So let's dribble dribble
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own asses
It's true we'll make a better day

That shot and the 0.4 game Duncan shot before Fisher's shot are two of the most clutch shots in the entire HISTORY of the NBA, that will go forgotten because of what happened second(s) later.

[TheGoldStandard]

All of you guys missed the most obvious joke.. He had a plethora of unguarded guys on the baseline and still took that shot.

[bklynspursfan]

So did Aldridge, yet he receives constant criticism.



Doesn't matter what those numbers say, last two season he was bigtime dissepointment that was falling under the pressure come playoff time...

True, but people have to realize and/or accept, that Leonard isn't the typical elite player. He's never going to be a great breakdown or creator type.

The reality is, they're going to have to find a dynamic guard, who excels at these things, in order to have a legitimate chance to win a championship during this era.

We need an average scorer off the guard position. Emphasis on average. Our OLD guard are old. We can't blame Kawhi for no being able to win with that cast. Even Duncan blew out his tires.

Kawhi was amazing to me. The car has been riding on rims for a while now.

[callo1]

I thought that last season TP played the best defense in his career. He can still improve, but at least he doesn't play D like Harden.

I agree that he needs to reinvent his game to a degree. Be consistent enough to hit the three ball places other than the corners.

No, "we" need a lead ball handler/play maker because that's never going to be Leonard's game, especially not for a team with championship aspirations.

No one is blaming him, though I don't see why he should be exempt from being judged by the same cliche standards that every other player of and above his magnitude is.

He's (along with Pop, in terms of the national media) got the best gig in the league, in the sense that, when they look like a juggernaut, he receives most of the credit. When they don't, everyone else receives most of the blame.

[dabom]

I'm pretty sure we just need a scorer off the guard position. Bare minimum. And we win 3 ships in a row.

[TD 21]

Are you gonna blame Kawhi for past last playoffs? because you just said to advocate it. :lol

Yeah, because right or wrongly, the star(s) usually receive the brunt of the blame.

In many cases, it's stupid, but why should he be exempt? In 2 playoff runs as the best player on the team, they've lost 2 series they were favored in (shouldn't have been, but whatever), with 4 losses at home and without him damn near single handedly winning a game they otherwise wouldn't have.

[TD 21]

He has always been getting better and better. This year will be his very first peak year.

Parker, to this day, criticized for '03, '04 and '05, when he was 21-23 and not the best player on the team, but a guy who's older and just finished 2nd in MVP voting needs excuses made for him?

[TD 21]

After 2013? How about 2014 when he was the only All-Star on the team? Oh, and the only All-NBA player. Oh, and he led the team in scoring throughout the regular season, playoffs, and finals. Oh, and he led the Spurs in assists throughout the regular season and playoffs on the way to another championship.

[Mikeanaro]

So by that logic, Robert Horry is better than Duncan.

We are talking about stars, Eichman did nothing during the playoffs, he is the first Spur patriot ever but thats it, if you say he was better than prime Manu winning everywhere or even playing at high level at almost 40 years you mean 2 things a) Gervin is with Wilt-Jordan and b) you need to see a doctor.

It said, overall, "we" were a historically great regular season team.

I realize this is part spin, but you're not seeing the forest from the trees here. This wasn't the early aughts 76ers, Magic, Timberwolves or even Spurs.

If Durant, Westbrook, Paul, Griffin, etc., do what the Spurs did the past two post seasons, even if they raised their game, as the clear lead player on the roster, they'd have received a lot more criticism.

[YGWHI]

So did Aldridge, yet he receives constant criticism.
I don't think so.

I understand some criticism since most fans thought LMA would be the guy who keeps scoring when Kawhi has a bad night, and the offensive player who would solve Spurs issues on offense in playoffs replacing Tim/Parker/Manu scoring.

We know that PER stats favor offense-oriented players over two-way players like Kawhi, that's why I think people felt a bit disappointed because they expected LMA as #2 on PER, being one of the greatest scorers in playoffs

But "constant" criticism? No. In fact, most fans, me included, think he will look great in 2016/17, the adaption proccess has finished and he will get a lot more comfortable on the team this next season.


Doesn't matter what those numbers say, last two season he was bigtime dissepointment that was falling under the pressure come playoff time...


True, but people have to realize and/or accept, that Leonard isn't the typical elite player. He's never going to be a great breakdown or creator type.

The reality is, they're going to have to find a dynamic guard, who excels at these things, in order to have a legitimate chance to win a championship during this era

Not sure. He didn't "fail". Either LMA. Both matched Durant/Westbrook production (Kawhi/LMA combined=25 ppg .502 FG% Durant-Westbrook=26.7 ppg .438 FG%) but our bigs and the rest of role players couldn't match OKC's. That was the real issue.

But agree with you that the Spurs need a true playmaker in the SL, even when Kawhi has improved a lot, he's more a scorer than a playmaker, and Parker never was one, he never had Manu's elite court vision or his passing-talent.

[YGWHI]

That probably barely covers renting the place, tbh... and he's putting his time in it while he could be texting LMA's wife or sunbathing in the Bahamas...

You gotta give him some credit.
