What will hurt DWill and Nash is that they are on such awful teams. DWill is also hovering around 40-41% FG, a much worse drop off than Parker's 45%.

Nope. No shot at all with those stats. Not when other guys are scoring close to 30 points a game.
When Parker takes as many shots as Kobe does he averages 36 points per game.
That was the perception. The Bulls were a .500 team two seasons ago. Last year they had the best record in the league and Rose got a lot of credit for that. Thibbs got credit too.
Yes, he certainly does. The NBA MVP often goes to the best player on the team with the best record. The Spurs currently have the third-best record in the NBA (behind only Miami and Chicago). If we can somehow finish with the best record, Parker will have as good a shot as anybody. Some might still prefer Derek Rose, but Parker will a least get a significant portion of the votes.
This is normative, of course - I don't know what actually will happen. But if he doesn't get serious consideration, that will be a huge oversight by the voters.
NO, cause most of the time MVP is a popularity contest like All Star game is....And no one except us on here actually like the SPURS and TP....
Not even spur fans like TP
Tony made it with lower numbers than those 3 years ago. Those guys who are scoring close to 30 are primarily forwards, other than Kobe. LeBron has always been categorized as a forward, mostly to get him on the teams when he was young.
No, threads like this are idiotic. When has a guy who scored 18 points a game and dished out 8 assists a game every came close to an MVP? This is a joke. And you know when Manu comes back Parker will go back to sucking. How easily everyone here forgets how much they hated Parker the past 2 years and begged the Spurs to trade him for size. The beginning of the season you were all begging for the same. Now he is an MVP with his 18 ppg and 8 assists???
Well...I've never been against Parker. Every year when the bull trade talks happen, I am always steadfast about keeping the big 3.
Your post count is a joke, and you are obviously gay with a avatar like that. you, you piece of .![]()
The Spurs and Tony shouldn't be chasing the best record. They should just focusing on improving their defense. At the same time where was TP's MVP form against Conley in the playoffs? That's part of why Spurs fans aren't as enamored with TP as TD/Manu. He's faded from the big moments at times to the detriment of the team.
WTF? Are you a new Spur fan?
I don't think Tony will win it but he should at least get some considerations. He's been playing great for us all season thus far, the Spurs will go as far as Tony will take them. He is the playmaker of this team, and with Manu previously being out and TJ will out, he's def carried the load for the first half of the season. He will def need to keep it up the remainder to be considered.
+1
Remember Gary Payton? He was his first Post-season victim one decade ago
Clippers announcer yesterday: "Parker is in the discussion for MVP this year"
"discussion" sure
he gotta do it all year though.
if his lucky maybe top5
atm his still not gettin the attention from media from who knows why, but if he was to get attention...spurs need to be on big winning streaks, him scoring season or career highs, avg good stats....i dont think its impossible, but the media never likes the spurs, let alone tp...they just hate fkn winners
Not a chance. There shouldn't be a discussion even, because James should win it unanimously. He won't, of course. Durant and Paul will get votes. Then, in some order, will be Bryant, Howard, Rose, Wade and Nowitzki. Then maybe Parker.
But even if Parker deserved to be seriously considered, he wouldn't be. He's not a big enough name and he's still the third name that comes to mind when most people think about the Spurs. I don't think voters would feel right voting for him when he has two teammates that are arguably better and definitely around the same level.
At the rate he's going, he'll make third team All-NBA though. Five guard spots were spoken for before the season began: Bryant, Paul, Wade, Rose and Westbrook. The final one would probably have went to Ginobili, if he were healthy, with Rondo and Williams being his primary compe ion. Parker has basically taken Ginobili's spot.
Tony would need to get at least ten more 30pts and 10ast games to even be considered in the top 3. But there is a huge bias against him and the spurs that i doubt he would even get that.
Tbh Parker's the more proven compe or than LeBron. Because of its implications Finals MVP is a more prestigious award than league MVP.
