Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Have been twitter discussing with Eddy Rivera about the MVP consideration.
All I argued was it was not "laughable" that he's in the talk. Not that he IS the MVP, cause ImO has not.
He also feels Parker is getting way too much credit for the Spurs success.
Agreed?
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
It depends on what you consider MVP. There has never really been an adequate definition, as far as I'm concerned.
Is it the player with the most talent/skill? Or the player that the team relies on the most?
I always consider MVP to be a player that helps his team win many games, but without him there, they would just be a scrub team winning nothing. He's the most valuable member of the team.
I think the Spurs would still be in the playoffs without Tony Parker. But, I definitely think he's a top 3 point guard, and lately, the best.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
He believes, That he plays in the deepest team in the league with the best coach in the league. Therefore shouldn't be in the discussion.
I'm most likely a giant blind ball and silver homer for disagreeing but, wanted to run it by the sound board first.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
He has been the best player on the best team in the West. Seems worthy of being mentioned in the conversation.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Wish I could figure out what the EXACT criteria for MVP are, then maybe... just maybe... I could come up with something better than, "He deserves it, blah, blah, blah." GGGrrrrr... :bang
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
The team is now mostly offense that relies on pick and roll
put neal/patty in his place and see how we do
Parker is the best player on a team that is now #1 in the west and possibly in the entire nba
this is after the nba world that we would finally die after last years playoffs and 1/3 of the season through we were the 9th seed when our #1 player went down for half the season
yes ginobili was the #1 player last year and this year pre injury
I dont really mind if parker doesnt win because we all know its impossible but some votes would be nice
itll be even better when lebron wins his 3rd and becomes the biggest joke in the nba
only player with 3 mvps to never win a ring
would be even better if parker spanked durant in the WCF and lebron in the finals on route to his second FINALS mvp
hell have the last laugh while hes texting lebrons mom
you could also tell that guy to watch parker in game 1 vs LA and game 2 and see the difference he makes on this team

Sounds like what detractors say about reigning MVP Rose.
But I definitely agree Parker deserves consideration. He's proven to even haters like myself that he's the best player on the Spurs, and the best player on the best team in the West deserves MVP consideration.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Best player on the Best Team in the West, but the Spurs in general aren't winning because of top heavy play, but lots of positive contributions from lots of players. I'd say LeBron should win(He may not bacause of LeBron hate), with Durant and Paul next in line, Parker being ~4th. He should make at least 2nd team All-NBA, which is good recognition of an excellent season.
Looking at from January 15th on(Basically, the point Parker went from What's wrong with Tony Parker to Holy Shit, Tony Parker) He's probably closer, but the first few weeks of the season count as well.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Every we hear about "best player on team with best record", now that it's the Spurs turn it's "ok, let's change the criteria"
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
who is he voting for and on what criteria is he basing it off of?
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Parker isnt good enough for the 'best player on the best team' argument. Hes an all-star and all-nba but MVP is the top echelon and Parker isnt up there. Rose and Paul are really the only two PGs that are in that superstar group. Not to mention the point the guy brought up about the Spurs depth. Parker should get a couple of votes but realistically shouldnt be in serious contention for it.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Leading the team who's going to win the :lobt2: this year? Ask them by June then we'll se who's laughing then.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
The Spurs without Parker probably would have made it to the Playoffs, so what? Would the Heat without LBJ, but with Wade and Bosh miss them?
I don't think TP's good enough to be the real MVP but yeah, he's been a beast for us most of the season and is definitely a big part of our success right now (along with relative health, role players stepping up and Pop being the beast coach in the NBA).
It's a team sport, nobody is going anywhere without their team.

Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Parker deserves MVP consideration. Parker, LeBron, Durant. Best players from top teams.
1. LeBron
2. Durant
3. Parker
Not Kobe, not Rose , not Nash, not Paul.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
I don't think it's laughable to include him in the discussion. Yes, they've had balanced contributions from the rest of the team but I think that this year most especially, Parker has really set the tone for the team and without him (in that long stretch without Manu), we probably make the playoffs but barely.

Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Stop being homers. This isnt about media bias against the Spurs. Parker has been very very good but not good enough to where the best player on best team argument can apply. You have to be widely considered atleast a Top 3-5 player in the league on top of being on the best team for that argument to apply. Noone in their right mind (other than maybe will_spurs) considers Parker a Top 5 player.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Remember how slowly Tony started the season? We were all afraid, that he is done. Than after the Manu injury, he came into live and lead to this team, to unexpected success.
He should be in the MVP conversation.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
This team is made for Parker and his style of play. Just like the Spurs did for Duncan they have built the team around Parker while keeping their big three together. If Parker doesn't get serious recognition then at least Pop and Buford should for COY and exec of year for ushering this change while Tim Duncan is still playing some great basketball. Their work has a lot to do with this consistency.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
He's voting for Lebron "period no debate". Asked him what his reasoning he wouldn't answer with anything but "I see your from San Antonio. Should've known"
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
He should definitely be in the conversation due to the fact that he totally runs the offense on the team that is best in the west and that after tonight (probably) will equal the best team in the league.
We have all seen what happens when Tony is not on the court. Our offense stalls and confusions reigns. We have still won some games, but remember that our worst loss was when Tony wasn't on the floor (along with Tom and Manu). But we have won games without Manu. We have won games without Tim. We have only won one game without Tony.
Parker had the team on his back all through the period when Manu was out. He carried them until Manu came back and Tim got into the shape he has been in for the last three weeks.
He is the leading scorer on the leading team. He definitely deserves to be in the conversation.
He won't win because his stats are never going to be as gaudy as LBJ's. He plays fewer minutes than other top stars because his coach makes that decision, keeping his per game points and assists lower than some.
No one on a Spurs team is going to get MVP while Tim Duncan is still on the team.
But Tony deserves to be in the conversations.
Yes.

Honestly, if a sane and logical person is going to tell you Tony Parker doesn't deserve some MVP consideration because he plays on a deep team with a solid coach, then that same person should be fair enough to tell you that Lebron James doesn't deserve it because he plays with two other superstars.
It's pointless debating with a guy who can't admit as much.
Either way, I'm not sure what that says about your league if you're unwilling to toss the best player on the winningest team in the west some MVP consideration. San An is one game away from clinching the top seed, it takes an absolute turd to say they'd be in the same position without Parker.
If I didn't know better, I'd say this twitter guys wife slept around on him with a frenchmen and he's now harboring resentment towards all that is Vive-La-France.
I say "Vive le petit Frenchman".
(ps. I rather see Parker obtain his second Finals MVP, There's no denying him love/respect if he's playing at this same level in June and the S&B come out on top).

:lol
Its not the same thing. LeBron is widely considered the best player in the league despite having Wade on his team. Parker isnt considered Top 10. Therefore best player on top team can apply for the former but not the latter. Its not that hard to understand, homers. Parker deserves some consideration but you cant put him in the same category as Bron. He isnt a serious contender for the award.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
MVP only matters if it has the world Finals before it. WGAF about the regular season if you're not hoisting the :lobt2:
He deserves to be recognized for his contributions, his willingness to step in and take over a team that he's long been #2 on, and his experience.

LeBron plays with two top 15 players in the NBA including a top 3 player next to him. The dude you're arguing with is obviously an idiot of he's voting for LeBron "period, no debate" without applying his own logic :lol

Have you heard about Kawhi defense? And Diaw? And Green? As you say, there are 2 ends of the court. Parker shouldn't be considered better than the 6th or 7th option in this team.

Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Parker was the Final MVP during the last championship year. If the Spurs win it all, chances are he would be again. I imagine that would suit him just fine.
-
Re: Is Parker being involved in the MVP talk "laughable"?
Parker was damn valuable early in the season when Ginobili was out and Duncan looked like he was over the hill. TP was as valuable as any player in the NBA in that stretch of games around the Rodeo Road Trip where he was carrying the team night in and night out.
Recently, with Ginobili back and Duncan playing like he turned back the clock, Parker hasn't been as valuable ... but then again it'd be foolish if he was playing the same way. He doesn't need to play like an MVP right now; his goals should be to stay healthy and keep racking up the Ws.
Tbh, I'd probably have TP ranked somewhere between 3 and 6 in the MVP race.
P.S.
FkLA is turning into the ducks of CoM. This cat falls in love with every backup point guard the Spurs bring in. From Temple to Hill ... hell, he even tried to divert attention away to TP and to Patty Mills by highlighting his towel waving after the Laker beat downs :lol
That said, if it's schtick, I give it a B+.

Sorry to break it to you, but if Duncan keeps up what he's been doing for the last 3 weeks or so, he's gonna end up with the finals MVP, on emotion/nationalism/end of career respect votes alone.

Bosh < TD. Actual Bosh is a jump shooter. He can't rebound,his defense sucks.TD's impact in the game is higher .
Of course our bench is better.Miami didn't have our deep.
LeBron leads his team in points,rebounds,assist,steals and FG%. The record without Wade is 13-1.
Tony Parker should be in the top5 of the race for the MVP but LeBron is the MVP of the season.

I'm so tired of that "french are soft" thing.
During WW1, 1,7 millions french people died on their own soil, victims of some of the ugliest violence ever seen. Most of them were in their 20s.
That would be like 13,4 M americans based on actual population.
You can't imagine the trauma it has been, and still is. But please, don't ever call us soft again!

LeBron or Durant are more deserving tbh, but Parker will get votes. However, TP doesn't play 40 mpg nor he gets the same number of touches as Kobe / LeBron to get MVP type of stats.
He had been the best Spurs player for some time now. Duncan isn't so consistent anymore and Manu misses too many games; also Parkers defense is above average.
