    For those of you old enough, you might remember in the mid-90's when Hakeem went on a run in the playoffs where he dominated every other major center in route to the le, and proved himself the best big in the game. On the road to two championships he took out Ewing, Shaq and (sadly) our own David Robinson.

    I want Tony to do this with point guards.

    First up, Chris Paul (Tony's winning the series and the head-to-head easily)

    Next, Westbrook....

    And its not impossible the he could face Rondo in the Finals.

    That's every major "in their prime" pg except the injured Rose and overrated Williams. (Yes, I guess there are the oldies but goodies of Nash and Kidd, but, well, maybe next year. If Kidd's still even in the league...)

    Do it Tony. Make them pay for always forgetting you in their annual "best point guard" conversations....

    Wow, that's actually a pretty cool comparison. I mean, on the one hand, it seems kind of sacrilegious to try to compare anything to that run of the Dream's. In my mind it's kind of incomparable. But it does fit. And if Tony ends up even getting in the vicinity of duplicating in the later rounds what he's been able to do against Paul (and Devin Harris, who's nowhere near the same level, but also is no slouch, and who Tony dominated as well), it would fit to make this comparison. Nice man, I like it. I might steal the idea and write an article about it, if it comes to pass.

    I was thinking more along the line of dispatching all rivals at his position on way to a le.

    But, yeah, 40 and 20 wouldn't be bad!

    If it comes to pass, steal away! I would be far too happy to care!

    There's no doubt TP's playing well. He doesn't look stoppable right now. I believe the greatest growth in his game is his ability to keep his teammates involved. He created alot of offense in the past through just driving and kicking but now he's a threat in other areas.

    But that Hakeem post season was sick. What he did was beyond human.

    I'd welcome it, but it'd be ugly for Indiana.

    I think it's more of a comparison between what Hakeem did to his counterparts with what Parker is doing/could end up doing to his counterparts. Not a direct comparison, or putting Parker up there with the Dream.

    But I'm glad you can come here and get some enjoyment from us during the playoffs. Your defending champs getting swept in the first round and all.

    That would be really cool, but chances are, if we get to the Finals, he'll face Mario Chalmers.
