Tony Parker jumpshot

People forget about how after the first 2 games of the Phoenix series in 03 when Marbury was working Parker, Parker responded by putting in a dominant 29 in Game 3, and also forget about him putting up 27 vs the Lakers in Game 6 to dethrone the 3-time NBA champs. He had a couple of good games vs. Dallas in 03, and the first 3 games of the NJ series, he was a serious consideration for Finals MVP.

I haven't forgotten those performances.

I am just saying his distrobution of the ball was sub standard and well downright poor during the entire playoffs but mostly the Finals.

Sure he scored some and played good D but he failed to run the offence well. That is what stops him being brilliant.

I'll give you that. One thing I was very disapointed with in the Detroit series was Parker's assist numbers. I don't care if his shot isn't falling and he's not scoring 20+ points every night. But he absolutely should have had at least 5-6 assists per game if not more when his shot's not falling. We could argue that Spurs run a lot of motion offense and share the ball really well, etc. etc. however, even Manu had I believe 2 games where he had 7 and 9 assists.
