Yeah, the defensive numbers jumped out at me. It might just be how terrible Stephon Marbury is, but I know Richard Jefferson and Kerry Kittles didn't turn the Nets into a world-beating defense.Quote:

And for some of the criticism TP9 got for his uneven finals performance, let's not forget his pivotal play in some of those games. In Game 4 he was the leader of the Spurs first-half offense and only scored less later as he was choosing to facilitate. He still ended up with 19 points. Kahwi did not really break out until the late second quarter / second half. And recall what Pop said to TP in Game 3 for his leadership.
So? Is that supposed to impress me ?Quote:

I've yet to see him take over a playoff series recently. They got out of the first round because of MVGriffin, not because if Paul. I love his game, he's just too easy to shut down and it's becoming a trend that he seems to be PG geared for the regular season.Quote:

Reconcile that and deal with it. #9 is going into the bright lights as an all-timer. Nothing you can do about it.Quote:

I'm not sure why you guys still don't have him on your ignore list.
At his size, Parker is the best finisher I've seen since Iverson - and he's been able to do it an elite level for a decade now.
Always found it bizarre that he's so underrated on this forum.

Parker has a realistic chance of reaching 20,000 points and 7,000 assists. He would only be 36 if he plays more seasons. 4 more seasons.
would only need to average 70 games played and 14 ppg and 5 apg over the next 4 seasons.
Just to put this in context, in case some people think this is a common milestone in the NBA, only 2 players have reached it so far: Oscar Robertson and Gary Payton.Quote:

Parker's career will look better in hindsight than some realize. His accomplishments are stacking up. Manu May have been better at his best, but there's no doubt TP has been more reliable and consistent. He not only has a Finals MVP, he also has been top 10 in regular season voting at least twice I think. He is a legit top 10 player in the NBA and top 1-3 PG's depending at how you see it. Parker wasn't anywhere near 100% in the playoffs and he still led the Spurs in scoring while playing PG on one of the best teams ever. Regular season success is just that- regular season success. Chris Paul has had some terrible playoff performances, and never even made it past the Conference semi-finals. Go Spurs
