Re: Tony Parker: Team Leader or Role Player?
I'm very grateful for all TP has done. Today he knows his role has changed and he needs to embrace that. While his D has improved and his assists have seen some good nights, he still will need to be hid on most elite PG's. So he will still lead the offense at times, but more as a distributor. Those night's he is able to contribute on offense are great, but getting more rare.

Don't care, just get 6!!! Go Spurs Go!!!!
Re: Tony Parker: Team Leader or Role Player?
Duncan, Parker, and Manu are all leaders despite now taking up more of a role-playing situation in most games.
No team wins the title without some sort of leadership. That doesn't always come from putting up the best stats.
Without question though, Duncan is the heart and soul of the team. Always has been, always will be. Hope he sticks around as a coach after he retires, because we'd be a lot better off with him around.

Whether Tim sticks around as a coach seems entirely up to him. If he says he wants to, the Spurs just say,"Yes, thank you!" That seems realistic since he has held informal workouts with other big men during the summer. His continued presence in the locker room and on the bench would be HUGE!

He's a natural teacher. Hell, other NBA bigs have told stories about Duncan coaching them... in the game he's playing against them. That kind of stuff is so rare. Hope it's an indication that Duncan loves to immerse himself in that kind of environment, because he's pretty laid back so it's not realistic to just expect him to stay around after he retires.
