Well that makes perfect sense. MVP voting ranks TP against other players in the NBA. timvp's grades rate TP's performance against an optimal version of TP.
It does not make perfect sense at all, because the 13 remaining points don't exist. He'd have to average 40 points, 15 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals on 70% shooting and be unrelenting on offense and never make a mistake on defense just to reach 95, at this stage.
That, or you're telling me Lebron would average 90 on the same scale (which would be equally ridiculous).
good for parker. he's really the only hope for the spurs to win a championship. he'll have to dial up to superstar level in the playoffs and carry the team. duncan and ginobili are too old so it's really all up to parker.
Of course it does. You simply don't value TP as highly as timvp does.
Give the dude the February trophy already tbh
This. Parker has had good regular seasons in the past. He needs to put together a complete post season run and be able to handle long defenders, switches on the pick and roll, and teams packing the paint.
How about an example of a PG in the last 20 years who has done all of those things on his way to a championship.

88, tbh.
It's forgotten now but TP had a relatively slow start to the season. Early on, Duncan was carrying the team. It wasn't until that game against the Celtics on the road did Parker start playing extremely well.
Parker has been 94+ in his recent stretch of awesomeness and 90+ since he caught fire.
It's the assists and 3-point percentage that really stand out to me. It just shows the massive improvement that he's made in his game - he went from being a below-average distributor with limited to range to a great distributor with decent range.
Props Tony!
It's weird how Parker turned into a beast this season as soon as he started wearing his Peak shoes.
Parker with Peak:
15 games
34.5 minutes per game
24.6 points per game (.579 FG%, .417 3P%, .833 FT%)
8.8 assists per game
He's playing at his Peak with those shoes.
Sorry.
good catch
Wow.. Thanks for pointing that out
It must be the shoes...
Chauncey Billups. And Parker is more athletic than him.
dan mccarneyParker averaged 21.9 pts, 7.9 asts, shot 56.3 % to win West POM in January. February: 27.9 pts, 9.1 asts, 57.6 %. Three games left in Feb..
It'll be tight between him and Lebron after that year Lebron went on before the all star break.
Each conference has a POTM.
Durant is averaging "only" 25.5 points this month so he's out.
Parker's main compe ion is probably James Harden who is averaging 30, 7 and 7 this month.
Oops. Forgot that. I see no reason why Parker won't get I knowing the injury factor.
I was going to mention Harden when I saw the thread had been resurrected. He's had an amazing month too, and his 46 pts the other night against the Thunder garnered a lot of attention. For the month: 30.4P / 7.6R / 7.3A / 56.5% FG, team record 5-3, 3 games to go in February.
I don't think TP's destruction of "the best PG in the NBA" will go unnoticed either.
probably going to harden tbh but tp month of February is likely the best stretches of games of his career.
Nope. I wouldn't want to put money on which one will win.
Remaining games with NBA defensive rank in parentheses:
Harden: Brooklyn(16), Washington(5), and Milwaukee(10).
Parker: Golden State(20), Phoenix(23), and Phoenix(23).
Tony's biggest problem may be blowouts that hold down his totals.
Now I'm becoming exigent and I expect a TP clinic on Curry even if I'm a big fan of the kid
