IMO, the guy has proven he can step up every nignt at a high level.
In how many games did he disappear ? I only found one against the lakers on nov. 29.
He definitely deserves to be an AS and he diserves to be considered a top 5 PG.
yep, it's brand new TP this season. Amazing.
tp=mvp of spurs right now
This is the season TP raises his game to an All-star level and will most likely be voted in..if not by the fans then the coaches will certainly send him to Houston to play....
The AllStar game is nothing more than a popularity contest. It has little to do with who is the best player in any given position. The fans who vote the most often get to see their players. It's not that significant an indicator of a players achievements, make the team or not.
Sure -- Brand looked particularly dominant being taken behind the woodshed by Tim Duncan a week ago.
But what has Tim Duncan done lately, right? I mean an unparalleled resume of excellence in this era isn't enough to get one voted to start in an All-Star game -- unless one is someone like Tracy McGrady I guess . . . .
As for Parker, he's had as good or better an opening run in this season than guys like Baron Davis, which is saying a lot. Tony's had a better opening run this season than Manu did last year. Obviously, Nash and Kobe will be guards on the West team, but if Parker plays well for the next 3-4 weeks, he's going to get lots and lots of votes from the West coaches, much as Manu did last year. And getting lots and lots of votes from West coaches will make it more and more likely that the kid will be in Houston for the All-Star game.
I don't understand why there is so much dislike for Parker around the NBA -- so many who are willing to suggest that he's not very good. He's clearly the 2nd most talented player on an elite team, and he improves several facets of his game every year. And he's only 23. Maybe its a resistance to the inevitable fact that Parker is in the process of becoming a destructive force in the league, but whatever it is, it's a bit tiresome.

i was looking at the paper this morning and i am impressed with his FG%.
i must give him major props for that.
it's pretty obvious he won't get voted in by the fans but i think if he keeps playing the way he is, the coaches will. who do you see the coaches voting in? at this point i see ray allen and jason richardson being voted in along with tony as the reserves. they won't take 2 guards from golden state.
Tell me why Billups does that.He's inconsistent, one game he scores 20 21 points the other 12 or 13...what's up with that?
^Parker has been one of the most consistent guards this season...more so than even Kobe and Baron. Are you trying to tell me that Kobe doesn't score 40 points one game then goes 8-30 the next 2 nights?
^ huh?!(to detroit fan)
i don't know, it's like some teams are different than others. maybe some teams play parker differently, but why would they do that?
rip hamiltion and chauncey billups? definitely not all star material with all that inconsistency.
Tony is averaging 20.3 points, 4 rebounds, and 6.1 assists on 54.4% shooting.
They're def All Star material, and I don't know why you think they're inconsistent...
If you really think about it, there really is no consistent player in the NBA. Everyone has off nights and no one player plays awesome for 82 games straight.
His 3pt FG% : .250 (3-12)
His FG% : .544 (how many layups in that?)
Oh yeah, and he's definetly the 2nd most talented player behind Rasho.
I'm asking why Billups is inconsistent.
This year his scoring is just as inconsistent if not more.Not as much as Parker...
So why is that?
I think we can sum up all your posts to the following:
Billups>>>Parker
Rip>>>>>>Manu
Rasheed + Big Ben>>>>>>Duncan
Tayshuan>>>>>Bruce
Heat, Pacers, Pistons, Mavs, Lakers>>>>>>>>Spurs
We get it, Buddy.
You think Billups has been inconsistent this season? I haven't been following the Pistons regularly, but everytime I do catch a recap, Billups seems to be having a great season...
Just his scoring, like Parker's that the troll factor has pointed out. I'm asking him why and he can't say anything.You think Billups has been inconsistent this season?
^^He's averaging something like 18 ppg...
