Tony Parker.
Because I'm a homer.
there is no in way that parker is better than paul.
CP3 owns TP9 in every possible catogorie
TP didn't win the series, the Spurs did. Paul and Parker both played great. Maybe the funnest PG vs. PG series I have ever seen. I was at game 7 and didn't think we were going to win b/c of the Spurs postseason experience, and we almost won at the end, but it just wasn't meant to be. 10 players play at a time, not 2. Paul did AMAZING for his 1st playoff run, better than Parker.
Paul can't beat the Spurs by himself(That's not a knock, that would just be super-human). Yeah, Paul is the better player and PG, but I'm not trying to take away from Parker, who is an Amazing player, top 3 PG and top 10 player IMO.
Before last season I would have picked Paul 10 times out of 10.
But now, the difference is very small. Parker has proven he can carry a team, in a different way, but still carry a team. I still pick paul, but I am not liking his flopping whining ways. I would not be mad if I ended up with Parker instead of Paul at this point.
That was CP3's best team and it really wasn't as good as one of the worst Spur teams this decade(The 99-00 team and 08-09 teams were probably worse)
I think CP3 is the better player, PG, any other way you wanna put it. I think they are on par as far as scoring, but once you get to CP3's passing ability, it puts him on another level. It's really no knock on Parker. I think he or D-Will is the second best PG.
Can you tell me why you think Parker is the better player?
Edit: and I only said the 99-00 team cause TD got hurt.
^ Exactly.
Looking at what TP did this year with a team that really over achieved, the gap has closed in my mind. It is still CP3, but it is closer than I once believed.
West is two time allstar
Peja is a perenial allstar
Pargo is an allstar in Russia
Chandler is DPOY material.
Mo williams is freaking underrated.
In 2008 he had the best supporting cast in the league and still manage to lose to the spurs.
Hope you're convinced.
One of the few posts of yours that actualy makes sense. Keep it up, boy.
And also, that kinda proves another point that big man > PG. I remember you said you'd take a great PG over a great big. When the 3 best PG's can't get out of the first round, it shows you something.
Mo Williams? I thought he was a Buck before going to Cleveland?
This, I agree with. In 2008, I would undoubtebly say CP3. I think the gap has closed as TP got much better in 2009.
i don't remember the name of their SG
I didn't read the post about you saying CP3 was better till after I posted that. Sounds like we agree.
Dude, Manu had his best year in 2008. They were a very good team. I said the Spurs had a better team, but Paul had a healthy and talented team himself. It was not a wide gap imo in talent between the two team in 2008.
I'd agree with all this except the midrange. They are about equal on set shots from there, but Parker is much better at shooting off the dribble from midrange. Paul is better at 3's but the margin is wider in their midrange shots.
About equal on the teardrops too.
Of course, CP is clearly the better player, however they differ on scoring and shooting.
Ok, thats just confusing
I truly think the Spurs became Parker's team last year, not duncans. I really like watching TP and was one of the few who voted for him over duncan in the DAF polls.
Again, Thank you for the laugh.(I laugh each and everytime a spurs' fan es about flopping).
If the Spurs could trade Parker for Paul straight up then they would be fools to turn it down.
Give me Deron Williams over those 2.
Typical Spurs fans' finally praising Paul's supporting cast just so you can take away from Paul and give to Parker.
Well done and thank you for proving Stretch and I's point.
My real question is: Do you actually believe the bias, flip-flopping bull you post, or does it take some self-convincing?
Deron and TP is a closer match
Chris Paul is on a higher lvl than those two
CP3 is the better player. Parker in the playoffs is better but Parker has mature and been there done that. In time I'm sure Paul will step it up in the playoffs and show he is truly the better of the two. Right now Parker is a great scorer and the type of PG that fits the Spurs. Paul is the type of PG NO needs. However I wouldn't say Parker is to far behind Paul. Just two different type of PGs. Pass first vs score first
well i wasn't being serious, i thought it was obvious.
1. CP3
2. Parker
3. Williams
4. Rondo
5. Nash
If the Spurs traded TP for Paul straight up, these same Spurfans that are defending Parker, would remind us nonstop how much of an upgrade they got. (And all of a sudden how their mediocre bench, is all of a sudden great)
