Who wrote that? Walton Buys Off Me?
[QUOTE=1Parker1]Parker's job isn't to make his team-mates better, he isn't the rock that glues the Spurs together--that's Tim Duncan. Guys like Kidd and Nash are the leaders of their respective teams.
Steve Nash, I'll give you as a leader...as far as maybe scoring goes...But they both avg more points AND assists then Parker, so I'm going to disagree. Everything runs through Tim Duncan and I do agree with that.
I don't even want to talk about stats to be honest. I'm just saying that Parker hasn't achieved "untouchable" status yet. I think his play in the last two years playoffs cement that opinion. When its comes to playing the "best of the best" I don't think he's established himself as one of them. Is he young? Yes. Can he become A LOT better...Definitely! I am just saying that in the context of the this "string" is about, it would be really easy for him to become a guy who dribbles the ball way to much, and shoots way to often...Which is exactly what Marbury does. This play, in effect doesn't make the players around him better...by getting them more touches, in position to make easy shots etc. I don't think Tony moves the ball well enough as it is, and already dribbles to much. With his quickness and penetration, he should be a lot better at getting guys (BESIDES T.D.) better looks. I don't think he's done that yet.

I recall him cutting her off in mid-sentence to say "three jobs? well, that's just great! this is what America is all about!" and "let's all give her a hand" or something like that. The look on the woman's face was priceless.
:rolleyes You obviously didn't read what I said, the word used was distributer not passer. Passing is only one part of distributing the ball well.Quote:

There have been 2 writers in the history of Hoopsworld (or bskball.com or whatever it used to be called) that have been any good.
Emett Shaw and Kori Ellis.
That site is a complete fuckup, I would never listen to what anyone has to say from there nowadays. (except Emett)
I used to write for Hoopsworld....no love from the Aussies. :depressed
:lol
:lol
I knew you used to write for them, but I never did read your stuff, so I didn't mention you.
The reputation of the site being a load of shit was already strong so I didn't bother reading it. I wouldn't of bothered reading Emett either but his articles always get posted on the Spurs Forums.
I'm sure you were better than the guy who wrote this shit :lol
I can name a few other sites that are full of shit as well. :)
BTW, this topic is stupid.
it's all good bro...I was messin with ya. :) Actually my stuff was a little boring....all I was allowed to do was straight news, just game recaps. I tried to get some opinion pieces but I was told that the fan base wasn't "evolved enough" Whatever the hell that was supposed to mean? Bill "the Rocket Guy" was my overall editor and Tom House the douche that covered the Mavs was the guy in charge of the Midwest Division writers. When I told them I was going to have to stop writing (a position that was, BTW, volunteer..not paid) because I had started a new job and was planning a wedding....House and Rocket Guy said that I was pussywhipped because I wanted to help my wife plan our wedding. I then proceeded to give out my free password to most of Cyberspace. :)
