....toward Tony. I still think a lot of it is ridiculous or misplaced.

Haven't read the whole article, but the third paragraph explains why players like Irving (and by extention Parker) are disliked. Although, probably not at the irrational level like this place.


Players with offense-only reputations are always divisive, and the score-first point guard is a particularly distrusted basketball archetype, because of how their on-floor inclinations seem to run counter to the nature of the position. In real life, people who hoard things for themselves just seem off. In basketball, the point guard’s primary role is to share.
This is why Irving drives people insane.

Except Kyrie is clutch and still has speed and mad skills.

Kyrie doesn't constantly shit the bed in big games.

Kyrie is still a team focused player, he gets joy in his team mates succeeding and doesn't sit glum on the bench when a player who isn't himself hits a game winner.

Kyrie doesn't fuck his team mates missus either.

Kyrie doesn't think he's something he isn't.

But because the crew lacks basic communication skills they fail to differentiate their attacks and motives and wildly inflate the impact of Parker on the team (hello, second seed last year? Top 5 team? )

Good article, b4 LeBron, Irving was just a scorer in a woefully bad team and without LeBron he would go back to just flash no substance. It's known LeBron is the real point in that team. Despite his incredible talent as a scorer, even LeBron has come down on Kyrie for his ballhogging ways, and he can get in straight up chucking mode.

I wouldn't call them losers, per se. But their finals records, or lack thereof, tell us we've had the right point guard for our system. Parker has been a scorer when we've needed him to be, a passer when the team's needed him to be one, & the team leader (head of the snake) when that's been needed of him. Sure he hasn't been perfect, but nobody has been.

Which winning score first pgs you talking about? If you're using Stockton and Kidd as examples for losing pgs i'm going with 90's pgs also and assuming you meant John Paxson, Steve Kerr, Kenny Smith, Sam Cassell then on to the 2000's with Parker, Fisher, Payton, Jason Williams, RONDO, all winning pgs with Rondo probably being the biggest past first pg of them all. But i think it's safe to say that the rest of the pgs won titles while not being the best player and mvp on their team during their title run including Rondo but except for maaaaybe Parker in '07.

Like u, I'm glad Kawhi is a Spur. However, in the playoffs (which seems to be the only thing that matters to the krew), he's disappointed when it matters. Sure he helped us win a championship, but he did so as a role player on an all-time great team (2014).

Anyway, I hope he steps his game up even more this year. However, this doesn't mean his #s have to increase. It will be better for him (Kawhi) & the team if he stays within a system that better suits the team. A Spurs iso-heavy team will keep having a hard time beating great ball-movement teams. With the players the team has this season, it's better to let the points come from the open man, whomever that may be.

Parker did good yes, cool....no one is disputing any of this and all hate is focused on the past 2 years, especially play off runs...we could also add bits of 14 in there too though, because he was such a minor part of us winning in the scheme of it.

This isn't hate for the sake of it, some of you morons need to take your rose colored glasses off...

I like Parker, but not many teams win titles when their leading scorer is their point guard. I guess there was Parker in 2007 and Curry two years ago. But 2007 was against mostly weak competition and it took the big 3 to beat the Suns in 2007 and Utah was meh and the Cavs were not worthy. And I think the Warriors won a title in spite of Curry. I'm not aware of any other teams that won a title with a scoring point guard.

Except Kyrie is clutch and still has speed and mad skills.

Kyrie doesn't constantly shit the bed in big games.

Kyrie is still a team focused player, he gets joy in his team mates succeeding and doesn't sit glum on the bench when a player who isn't himself hits a game winner.

Kyrie doesn't fuck his team mates missus either.

Kyrie doesn't think he's something he isn't.
LOL LOL LOL LOL

Kyrie took the worst shot in playoff finals history and wound up making it. He is arguably the dumbest pg in the league.

Pass first point guards like Stockton, Kidd, and Nash are losing point guards.

Score first point guards are winners. Don't know why they have bad reputations, tbh. I guess it's a vanilla thing to do nowadays.

As for the Tony hate... It's only on Spurstalk :lol a place where Manuretards come to post shitty takes

this tbh. besides kidd in 2011 how often are pass first guards winning anything? rondo doesn't count he was in diapers on that boston team which the big 3 carried. The entire modern history of this league the last 25 years has been aggressive score first guards putting their team on their back like tony and kyrie. they are the winners in june while the pass first guards which white people obsess over like chris paul and nash and rondo all in their primes go home ringless.

Thats cool.

He still fucking sucks now and should come off the bench.

He can't even score like that anymore and isn't expected to as Pop knows this, so by your and TGY theory, we need to actually replace him now.

:lmao at LVPorker and Kyrie "putting their team on their back." Last I checked, it was Duncan/Manu/Kawhi and LeBron doing the heavy lifting for those teams, not the chucking cancerous point guards.

Curry is the only scoring point guard since Magic and Isiah to ring as the first option. And his three-point shooting is a historical outlier. Even then, he's a playoff choke artist who had to be dragged to his only ring by Iguodala and David Lee against a bunch of injury-ravaged teams.

Pass-first point guards are losers, but so are score-first point guards. The bottom line is, in a league where height and length matter more than any other sport, building around a point guard is a bad idea. Any roster whose best player can be neutralized in the playoffs just by having a bigger player guard them is a poorly built roster.

And then there's the real losers like LVPorker and Choke Paul, who have never had first-option talent, don't have a clutch bone in their body, but have the ego of a first option and sabotage their teams because of it.

I wouldn't call them losers, per se. But their finals records, or lack thereof, tell us we've had the right point guard for our system. Parker has been a scorer when we've needed him to be, a passer when the team's needed him to be one, & the team leader (head of the snake) when that's been needed of him. Sure he hasn't been perfect, but nobody has been.

You can't say this...when Parker's lack of court vision and passing skills make a 39 years old Manu our best playmaker.

Since he lost his speed he isn't the scorer he was, he isn't a true playmaker, nor a shooter, he can't adapt his game to his declining physical condition.

He can play good early in the regular season but he's aging bad and his game sucks in the playoffs, he can't compete against younger, faster, elite guards anymore.

And just for the record, put Nash along prime-Tim instead of Amar'e, and tell me how many rings that "loser" would have won.

^^ as good as LeKing is he isn't ringing if killa kyrie isn't asserting his will in the latter half of the finals outplaying the mulatto brothers. spursfan should know after he did it in 2015 and scored more points in the building than any spur has ever done. you ain't ever gonna see chris paul rondo or john wall doing that in the finals. 10 assist a game doesn't mean anything after the first round when the role players and scrubs you are passing too can't do shit :lol

There are players who are willing to sacrifice everything for the team, Parker never was one of them. Like Lowe said, Pop felt that Manu's selflessness "might accept the bench role more readly than Parker".

And just for the record, put Nash along prime-Tim instead of Amar'e, and tell me how many rings that "loser" would have won.

This is probably the truth, he was great, but age robbed him of his elite speed and stamina, and having lost that, the other parts of his game are not enough to keep him elite. But whatever, these Tony vs. the World threads are getting old (Manu, Mills, etc).

The best one can hope for is like ElNono said, that he has a good season in his adjusted role. I wish for the same for Manu TBH, who at 39 is approaching the same done level, despite all the Manu fanboys here being the banner bearers for the anti-Tony parade.

I am in the camp that rather hopes for the continued development and improvement of our youth, and that these two stay healthy. I know ppl like to pit them against each other, but they might be around the same at this point and should not be guys that need to be carrying the team. Both are paid a hefty sum, and will make us go bonkers at Pop when they are still overplayed, so whatever. It's best to hope they have a good season and enjoy the show.

All of it, man. Parker played the least amount of minutes, scored the least amount of points and took the least amount of shots per game since his rookie season. He is old, limited and not that good anymore but the team losing in the playoffs isn't an indictment of him.

The blame mostly falls on the shoulders of Popovich, Leonard and Aldridge. Parker, Ginobili and (last season) Duncan are too old to make a significant impact, but y'all are either too stupid or too afraid to place appropriate blame.

Same reason y''all run to shithead Stephen Jackson for quotes or cry about an old ass PG being "shitty, TOSB or POS."

I gave Pop a pass bc truly Timmy fell off a cliff and that caught Pop offguard. When your second best big in a playoff series is Dworst bc Tim is hurt, Spurs weren't going far anyways. And now I kind of hope Manu doesn't go the same way as Tim bc it would be a shame for Pop to over-rely on these guys and then get faced with a situation he can't adjust to bc some of his key guys are missing/injured not 100%. Thus, why I said it's best to just hope everyone is healthy.

You truly are a special type of stupid or retarded. I hope you don't use such stupid, skewed logic in your everyday life.

For the last time (for stupid), the Big 3 are old and aren't impact players anymore. None of them are/were last season and beyond. Tony doesn't decide the rotations, minutes or any of the on-court matters, Popovich the coach does. He supposedly had a hand with Manu and Tim on PERSONNEL DECISIONS.

None of that matters, cause Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge were the two best and important players, but underperformed when it mattered most. THE BLAME SHOULD FALL ON THE SHOULDERS OF KAWHI, LAMARCUS & POPOVICH.

Imagine how stupid DaDumbass' argument would be if he rooted for OKC or Golden State.

"That POS Roberson/Bogut (Tony) cost us the series against Golden State/Cleveland, they didn't magically play over their head. Nah, it isn't Durant-Westbrook-Donovan/Curry-Thompson-Green-Kerr's fault even though they are the best players and the actual decision maker."

Gregg Popovich is your answer, friend. He (stupidly) decide to play Tony over Corey Joseph and Patty Mills. Tony wasn't either good or heathly enough to play in that series, but Pop just keep trotting him out there.

The players have pride and aren't going to admit when they shouldn't play. The coach needs to be flexible enough to know when that time has come. Pop has in the past but for whatever reason was unwilling to make that needed move.

Maybe because that move would destroy Parker's ego-I-mean-pride. If it's true that tells me a lot about the player

You can't say this...when Parker's lack of court vision and passing skills make a 39 years old Manu our best playmaker.

Since he lost his speed he isn't the scorer he was, he isn't a true playmaker, nor a shooter, he can't adapt his game to his declining physical condition.

He can play good early in the regular season but he's aging bad and his game sucks in the playoffs, he can't compete against younger, faster, elite guards anymore.

And just for the record, put Nash along prime-Tim instead of Amar'e, and tell me how many rings that "loser" would have won.

▪Manu is still a better playmaker than 90% of the league
▪Everybody loses speed & has to figure out a way to still be productive. Has his game aged gracefully? Probably not as much as Timmy's, but whose has?
▪Not his fault that he's aged & can't compete with the younger, faster, elite guards anymore.. it's part of life
▪Coulda/woulda.. it wasn't meant to be, & that's not Tony's fault at all

Anyway, we shouldn't hate Parker because of he's aging bad. He can't do anything about it.

But we can criticize him because he isn't willing to accept a new role, to be a cog in the machine, sacrificing his high status in order to win.

Why are you trying to psycho analyze a person you don't know? Tony isn't some fragile child or insecure teenager.

He has been benched before, for George Hill matter of fact, and I'm sure he is smart enough to know that his time as a starter is coming to an end.

I really was hoping they would find that candidate this offseason, but that didn't happen. They need to pray he holds up (as a starter) one last season and then they can send him to the bench.

And the fact that Tony is so polarizing within our own fanbase gives some credence to the article. We all have an idea in our minds of what point guard is "supposed" to do and Parker has never fit that mold. So when he fails or performs poorly, it feels magnified because he doesn't ever reach the "expectations" we have set for him. Or something like that.....

He also is just a flawed athlete and person (who has been in the same place for 15 years), but we all are, and for whatever reason people want to crucify him for that. And constantly pick apart his missteps and failures.

Note: My thoughts are not in order so please don't feel like I'm attacking you, ElNono or SAGirl. My responses to y'all are the third and fourth paragraph. Not the first two.

There are players who are willing to sacrifice everything for the team, Parker never was one of them. Like Lowe said, Pop felt that Manu's selflessness "might accept the bench role more readly than Parker".

He is a guy that was put through the ringer, cursed at and was the coach's "whipping boy" when he first arrived to the NBA, so I'm sure at 34 years old he can handle being benched. It has happened in the past and he handled it fine.

Plus, he is just old while becoming less and less productive, so it would stand to reason that he'd eventually move to the bench. Unless you are an all-time great (Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Pippen, Nowitzki, etc.) you rarily get to age and continue to start.

Haven't read the whole article, but the third paragraph explains why players like Irving (and by extention Parker) are disliked. Although, probably not at the irrational level like this place.

Players with offense-only reputations are always divisive, and the score-first point guard is a particularly distrusted basketball archetype, because of how their on-floor inclinations seem to run counter to the nature of the position. In real life, people who hoard things for themselves just seem off. In basketball, the point guard’s primary role is to share.
This is why Irving drives people insane.

You made a thread about Parker's hate, saying you finally understand the reason why people hate him...There is no way to discuss it without put Parker's performances in perspective.

But if you call everyone who posts about Parker's games and stats "fan boy" "Jerk Club", you don't really want to start a legitimate conversation, you only want that people agree with you on the matter.

This is probably the truth, he was great, but age robbed him of his elite speed and stamina, and having lost that, the other parts of his game are not enough to keep him elite. But whatever, these Tony vs. the World threads are getting old (Manu, Mills, etc).

The best one can hope for is like ElNono said, that he has a good season in his adjusted role. I wish for the same for Manu TBH, who at 39 is approaching the same done level, despite all the Manu fanboys here being the banner bearers for the anti-Tony parade.

I am in the camp that rather hopes for the continued development and improvement of our youth, and that these two stay healthy. I know ppl like to pit them against each other, but they might be around the same at this point and should not be guys that need to be carrying the team. Both are paid a hefty sum, and will make us go bonkers at Pop when they are still overplayed, so whatever. It's best to hope they have a good season and enjoy the show.Im a glutton for punishment for participating in this thread but I have to give props to your sane posts.

There is a big difference between hate and criticism.

I've said before that I don't hate Parker. What I hate is Parker not being willing to accept a role, to adapt his game...

Also, I find it very stupid that people call me hater when I just post "he has been a Net negative player in the last two postseasons"

Unlike, most Parker stans in this thread who called Kawhi retarded at every chance, I never called Parker, Porker/choker/whatver

Tell me why I'm "hating on him."

I don't think you do, and I share your criticism about the guy. But I just don't feel the need to constantly harp on a player's flaws bc no single player is flawless, and frankly you didn't start this thread. I think you are expressing your opinion. To me, the hate crew is the group that has a pathological need to constantly berate the guy. If he's scoring, he's ballhogging, if he's passing, "what does he do?" since he is not a defensive pest, it's a legit question. I don't think a passive Tony helps the team wins games either, specially when the team also starts Danny Green who is not a guy you can ask to be aggressive, and you can't let other team's backcourts rest on defense regularly. If you do, they then have the fresh legs to kill the Spurs in the 4th Q. Games where Danny and Tony combined for paltry scoring were very difficult to win, and we might have lost quite a lot of those. Heck if Tony makes some of the open jumpers he got, the Spurs win the series. The team has a huge problem simply because Tony has declined and he can't do what he used to do, and they don't have anyone better at the moment to take that spot. It's a problem.

But I don't feel I need to be harping on this all the time. I prefer to spend my personal fandom energy following the growth of our young prospects, some of whom are playmakers and hoping for the best for them, bc it is more likely that one of these guys shows up and help, than it is to ask Tony to change.

Gregg Popovich is your answer, friend. He (stupidly) decide to play Tony over Corey Joseph and Patty Mills. Tony wasn't either good or heathly enough to play in that series, but Pop just keep trotting him out there.

The players have pride and aren't going to admit when they shouldn't play. The coach needs to be flexible enough to know when that time has come. Pop has in the past but for whatever reason was unwilling to make that needed move.

Tony got destroyed by Paul and the team lost with his piss poor play.

Props, that is the truth. :tu
Pop should be feeling some guilt over that, bc CoJo was balling all the way to the ECF for the Raptors the following season and actually bailed the Choketors of Derozen and Lowry at times. That one series is on Pop. Cojo should have gotten an opportunity.

I wouldn't call them losers, per se. But their finals records, or lack thereof, tell us we've had the right point guard for our system. Parker has been a scorer when we've needed him to be, a passer when the team's needed him to be one, & the team leader (head of the snake) when that's been needed of him. Sure he hasn't been perfect, but nobody has been.

Double standard:

"Parker won't accept a new role"

2014: 16.7 / 5.7
2016: 11.9 / 5.3 (on reduced minutes)

2014 Playoffs: 17.4 / 4.8
2016 Playoffs: 10.4 / 5.3 (on reduced minutes)

"Parker doesn't put up the numbers he did in 2014"

----

So, which is it? He won't accept his new role or he doesn't put up the numbers he used to? Pick a side and be consistent.

He passes the ball just as much (on reduced minutes) and shoots much less. Isn't that what you guys were asking for?

Ok, give me the ideal stat-line for Parker. I just want it on record so when he hits it (or misses it) this season, we'll have a place with the recorded expectations. Or would it just be easier to criticize no matter what his stat line is?

10/6 on 50%?
8/5 on 50%?
6/4 on 50%?

:lmao at LVPorker and Kyrie "putting their team on their back." Last I checked, it was Duncan/Manu/Kawhi and LeBron doing the heavy lifting for those teams, not the chucking cancerous point guards.

Curry is the only scoring point guard since Magic and Isiah to ring as the first option. And his three-point shooting is a historical outlier. Even then, he's a playoff choke artist who had to be dragged to his only ring by Iguodala and David Lee against a bunch of injury-ravaged teams.

Pass-first point guards are losers, but so are score-first point guards. The bottom line is, in a league where height and length matter more than any other sport, building around a point guard is a bad idea. Any roster whose best player can be neutralized in the playoffs just by having a bigger player guard them is a poorly built roster.

And then there's the real losers like LVPorker and Choke Paul, who have never had first-option talent, don't have a clutch bone in their body, but have the ego of a first option and sabotage their teams because of it.

^^ as good as LeKing is he isn't ringing if killa kyrie isn't asserting his will in the latter half of the finals outplaying the mulatto brothers.
Kyrie did play really well as the sidekick down the stretch of the Finals, and he deserves props for that. Still, LeBron was doing the carrying. He dropped 41 in Game 5, dropped 41 again in Game 6, then put up a triple-double on the road in Game 7 and sealed the championship with The Block and The Free Throw. He was unfuckwitable in those last three games at a level that no other player in NBA history has ever reached, considering the circumstances and the team around him.

Kyrie was a bust and a team cancer before LeBron returned to Cleveland. It's likely he would have stayed that way without the GOAT holding his hand and establishing a winning culture.


before manure intervened MVParker had wrapped up the a ring in 2013 for the spurs. his play in game 1, and clutch shots in 6 had the title before manure and kiwi choked of course.
:lol at Porker stans obsessing over Game 1 in a series you lost. Newsflash: the NBA playoffs are not single-elimination. Porker choked and disappeared when it mattered most. He let Chalmers outplay him in Games 6 and 7, he let Ray Allen take a steamy wet 6 all over him, and he let RuPaul Bosh revoke his man card with a devastating block in OT.

Are so slow that you didn't read what I quoted? Last time I looked Parker and Irving are both PG's, so they can be compared.

Here you go:

The first premise is garbage, it starts with an absolute. Offense only players always being divisive. That's false. Reggie Miller was divisive? Ray Allen was divisive? Tracy McGrady was divisive? Dennis Scott was divisive? Allen Houston was divisive?

And as far as score-first point guards being a particularly distrusted archetype, that depends on their skill level relative to the rest of the team, and their ability to function within a winning culture. Tony Parker existed for years as the second or third option within a winning culture deferring to superior offensive players until it was his turn. Whereas Russell Westbrook could not defer adequately to a superior offensive player in Durant.

Both (Parker/Irving) are scoring PGs, but their talents differ. I'd even say that Irving is on an entirely different level at this age range, and projects to be the far better player lifetime. One is a far superior Iso player, whereas the other does most damage with the assistance of a pick and roll situation. One is a career abysmal shooter from 3, whereas the other routinely shoots between 35%-40% (aside from one year). One is an excellent FT shooter, the other took a while to arrive at good. One has to get into a particular range to be consistently effective, whereas the other can get the job done from anywhere. So while they have a similar label, they play differently, and one is in a different realm talent-wise.

Historically, the PG's primary role is ball distribution. In an ever evolving game, fans are starting to grasp with the reality that this is no longer a necessity. Especially, when the role is being provided for elsewhere in the lineup. And that's why I am of the opinion that all scoring point guards (or undersized SG's, which often are the same thing) need to be coupled with tall, lengthy, fairly defensive minded, ball distributive, court-stretching combo guard/SF's.

The primary aggravation with Parker is with his declining ability, and his skillset in this changed format in terms of offensive hierarchy. Evidenced by Patty's more natural fit as a pure shooter with the SL core offensive centerpieces, comparatively to Parker (Although he has improved his long distance shooting). Irving being a pure scorer is a necessity with Cleveland whether it was pre-Bron or with Bron. As is a obvious lack of pure scoring on that roster, especially in regards to shot creation outside of LBJ on an elite level. Love was downright laughable at times.

Give it up, faggot. Mario Chalmers and Chris "RuPaul" Bosh made Porker their bitch with the championship on the line. We all saw it, we all remember it.
Chalmers & Bosh "making Parker their bitch" =

2013 Finals:

Parker: 16/6/2 on 41%
Chalmers: 11/3/2 on 39%
Bosh: 12/9/2 on 46%

2014 Finals:

Parker: 18/5/0 on 48%
Chalmers: 4/3/1 on 33%
Bosh: 14/5/1 on 55%

You want to argue series or games? I'll take on the challenge for both. Or if you want to shift goalposts to argue every argument, go for it. I'll try to follow the goalposts.

Hahaha Kyrie is garbage. He literally couldn't lead his team to 35 wins in the Eastern Conference.

2012: 21-45
2013: 24-58
2014: 33-49

Dude is a chucker who shoots 45% and doesn't pass a whole lot either. The dude has never even led his team in assists in a single playoff series.

If you think that a 19-21 year old Parker could've, then someone must've spiked your coffee.

this tbh. besides kidd in 2011 how often are pass first guards winning anything? rondo doesn't count he was in diapers on that boston team which the big 3 carried. The entire modern history of this league the last 25 years has been aggressive score first guards putting their team on their back like tony and kyrie. they are the winners in june while the pass first guards which white people obsess over like chris paul and nash and rondo all in their primes go home ringless.
One of the best posts I've ever read on here oml :wow

Your comment runs in direct contrast to the facts and actual situation. Inaccurate statements like that are exactly why no one takes y'all Kawhi fanboys serious.

Keyword is that Manu might have accepted more readily, not that Tony would be completely against the idea. He did come off the bench during George Hill's last season in San Antonio, after all.

Killa kyrie was put on one of the worst run rosters in sports on a team that just set the record for most consecutive losses. even LeKing didn't get that sorry ass organization to the playoffs for first two years. h

Killa Kyrie coming into his prime like MVParker began to at the same age.

If not for manure fagging it up in 06 and 13, Tony would have 6 rings. :bang

Team Killa Kyrie did nothing to improve the Cavs despite being crowned their franchise player the moment he arrived. He played zero defense, made nobody better, routinely threw his teammates under the bus to the media without accepting any blame, and was a whiny bitch in general. He was a major contributor to the dysfunction.
