HoopsWorld: The Evolution of Tony Parker

[DAF86]

I think he's on his way to HOF http://www.friendster.com/photos/60364802/1/770803946#

For sure. In fact he may already be a lock. You can't get much better than 3 ships, 3 all star games and a finals MVP.

^ you are thinking of game 6, 2003.

No, I remember that game. When Speedy played great. I was thinking of the game 7 of '05 but I was wrong.

Gervin will always be the face of an ERA for the spurs...


But Tony, Manu and Bruce will be the faces of our glory days that we will remember for the rest of our lives... and remember more fondly...

They are only going to get better as we get older and more time has passed...

... Boston thinks Bill Russell cut Jesus' umbilical cord...

Nope, it was the other way around.

maybe cause ppl were still pissed about the parkers disappearing act against the fakers every time we collide in the playoffs....

1) When the Spurs were going after Kidd in the 2003 offseason, Parker had just completed his second season in the NBA. It's not like he had a long history of playoff collapses at that point.

2) Parker averaged about 14.8 points and 5.4 assists against the Lakers in the 2002 playoffs, versus 15.5 and 4 for the whole 2002 playoffs. In 2003, he managed about 14.8 and 3.5 in the Lakers series, versus 14.7 and 3.5 for the entire playoffs.

But go ahead and keep pulling arguments out of your ass. Don't let the facts stop you.

Parker played well in 02' against the lakers. However Rose, Smith,Daniels,porter and ferry did nothing to help spurs cause. In the 4th quarters they fell apart. In 04' parker didnt have a reliable jumpshot. That was something the lakers exposed big time. He could hit in transition sometimes but not a set shot. So the lakers could double Tim and leave him all alone behind the arc knowing that there was a small probability of him hitting. In 08' He pulled his weight however manu was ailing badly. The one game Manu played well was the game they won. Parker could have scored 30pts a night but that will never replace manu, that was made pretty obvious considering the spurs didn't have a healthy manu to go to in the 4th quarter to put teams away.

Talking about pulling arguments out of asses...

Have you even been following the discussion I posted in? Why make this into yet another Manu vs. Tony debate?
