Yeah he's a better finisher for sure. Probably just a better scorer in general. His passing and ability to break down the defense for his teamates doesn't even come close though.Quote:

I don't get the appeal of having a large sig to begin with. Is there really that much of the same thing that you want to say to people every time you make a post? Keep it simple yo.

True, I don't think he ever will be that type of guard. Maybe when he starts to slow down he'll look to create more. This system just doesn't need it though. Drive and kick or finish, P&R and throw into the post is what he needs to do to win and that's all that matters. He's top 3 in the west, probably the league.Quote:

He also is WAY, WAY quicker than Kobes. Tony is Iverson in his prime quick, minus the horrible chucker shot selection.Quote:

lock-down defense..?
dunking skills...?
Um, Tony had been battling heel/ankle problems throughout the regular season. I don't know exactly what the numbers were, but he was headed to another career best season in points, assists, turnovers and assist-to-turnover ratio prior to the injuries.Quote:

Also, he not a ego-maniac that it takes losing to "humble" him, although the other night proves that Kobe will never be humbled.
Size and hops for starters.
Well, he doesn't have a stupid French accent, effeminate body language, and a unibrow that Tony does so I guess Tony has him beat.
i don't have top 5 player in the world and top 5 clutch player
on my team
instead....im both of those
about 4-5 inches and a nike endorsement.
So what are you guys saying? I mean aside from Magicman's clear admission that he is gay(which was completely unsolicted btw)...
Sounds like you are saying if Kobe had Tony's teamates he'd...I don't know...win a championship or something? You mean like Tony?
So if Kobe can't win without Tim and Manu...how does that make him better than Parker? I mean using that logic. at worst, Tony could equal Kobe's achievement of not winning a title without Tim and Manu. Hell...I could not win a championship without Tim Duncan and Manu...I fail to see the great achivement there, so why are Laker fans bringing it up as if it were one?
Basically all it means is that if Kobe need Tim and Manu to win, and Tony can win with Tim and Manu...Parker's still the better deal...
A. He's younger.
B. He's cheaper.
C. He's less likely to alientate his teamates, demand to be traded, run off his HOF Bigman Partner, or break up his championship core....
Exactly what can Kobe do that Tony can't?
Oh that's right...he can jack up more shots.
Wow.
Yes and yesQuote:

I mean, it isn't even close.Quote:

You can't honestly try to compare the basketball ability of TP to Kobe. Kobe's probably better at basketball than anyone else has ever been. Possibly even Jordan. Jordan had some things about him outside of his basketball ability that made him better, but if we're just talking raw athletic b-ball ability you can at least make a solid argument that Kobe is the best ever. If you want to give it to MJ that's cool, but in any case Kobe is at least second. He can score from anywhere, create his own shot from anywhere, he can set up his teamates fom nearly anywhere and he's consistently been on the 1st defensive team throughout his career. Tony Parker is a nice player and a good scorer, but he isn't even close to Kobe Bryant.
At first I thought this thread was a joke. I still do, but in a very different way.

Tony Parker is highly successful because of the team and system he plays on. It is tailor made to suit his strengths and hide his weaknesses. He is not a lock-down defender nor does he have great court vision like CP3/Nash/Williams do. He doesn't have to focus on micromanaging the offense, his primary task is to attack the defense and look to score. You swap TP with CP3/Nash/Williams and those teams all become worse.

Man Whott....I've been on this forum for 4 years and in all of my years you still come up with weak threads and sad analysis. Your hate for Kobe is too funny...especially when trying to compare TP against KB. You have now taken the cake for the most dense comparison I've seen on this forum, well maybe when Manu vs Kobe was on full steam after a few good games from Manu. Enjoy the first round and hopefully we'll see you in the WCF, but keep the shitty threads to a minimum. But then again I'm sure your thread is pure jokes or you sucked on a tailpipe prior to tickling the keyboard.
