Like we did before with Manu vs. Rashard Lewis, now it's time to vote for Tony vs. Steve Nash for the Baller of the Week award.
Currently Nash is winning with 58% against 42% for Tony.

:rolleyes
Tony getting 42% against a percieved MVP is not bad.
I'll vote for Tony because he's a Spur and he rocks, but I still think Nash has been better.
Parker 3 wins.
Nash 0 wins.
The only stat that counts.
If you're talking about wins against each other, you would have to sayQuote:

I like to think it was my little vote that changed that.
of course, I'm concieted.
All this hype reminds me of 2003 when every major media outlet was talking about Jason Kidd versus Parker. "Kidd is the best." "Kidd will take this Parker kid to school." "Kidd is coming to SA to take Parker's job." Blah blah blah.
What happened?
Professor Parker, child prodigy, takes KIDD TO SCHOOL in the finals. Parker is still here. Still getting better.
And now schooling the "mvp" during the WCF.

done
done two days ago !
done twice.
Youll never get it. Spurs sometimes wins despite TP. It shouldnt be this way, usually the point guard commands the action, but it aint happening in San Antonio.Quote:

Parker's been holding his own against the leagues MVP, yet some people still find something to bitch about. I find this absolutely amazing---this guy just can't win around here.
Argentina hates Parker.
Why?

He shoot 18-20 times a game, sometimes made 7 and sometimes made 12, but Somebody can accept that Parker throws 5 threes Although he made 2?
When he missed shots the only way then Have Pop is benched him
He must to learn how can he help his team when he don´t score, but ....
when the Team want Jason Kidd in Argentina everybody say no
If Jason Kidd had signed with San Antonio, today Manu would not be in the Team and next year would not be Parker
When he requested 66 million everybody said that he was very egoistic of his part not to accept the supply of San Antonio
Parker pressed by a contract that inclusively is higher than Nash´s Deal, with one year left in his contract
Parker ain't Nash. Parker plays Defense.
That alone makes him important and crucial to our team.
Parker aint the best assist man, and he looks for his shots mebbe more than getting the team moving. But, that's what he does...love it or not. We have Duncan and Manu who keep everyone else involved in the game. Duncan is more the leader on the court than TP, so many more plays go through Tim than Tony.
So let Tony play Defense, and let Tony look for his shot...that's what he does best. When a crucial possesion comes up, give it to Manu or Timmy. That's how we play best...good or bad.
Personally, I don't, but I do know that many Argentinians dislike him. Why? There are several reasons.Quote:

When Manu is on the floor he gets plenty of points now. It might have been different in the past, when he was left alone in a corner to shoot a three pointer and nothing else.
Other complains include that Tony isn't consistent with his game (appart from Duncan, who is?), that he tends to dissapear in important moments (this last two playoffs series are proving that is wrong). In the Manu website forum, this Parker hate has been baptised the "Parker paranoia" by those who don't share that point of view.
Personally, I really like Tony's game, he still has to improve some things, but he has a very good present and a huge future. And I really don't care if Manu scores 50 or 20, or if he starts or comes from the bench. The most important thing is the ring.
Maybe my english is bad or you people are too sensitive. I dont HATE parker. I just dont like his style of play. Its always a matter of taste.Quote:

I will keep remarking the things i dont like about him because i think they hurt the team.
And I'm not Argentina. I'm an individual. Thats like saying everyone in USA is a child molester based on Michael Jackson.
Exactly my point. Thats why i say DESPITE the point guard.Quote:
