I agree. If he keeps up his current level of play, he's a solid 3rd in the voting.

Interesting that he also mentions Parker's influence "on both ends of the floor". But JVG isn't a moronic pundit.
Parker now #2 on the MVP Ladder
http://www.nba.com/mvp-ladder/2012-13/index.html
One would hope he would be 2nd at worst right now in the voting..
I wouldn't have thought so until Barkley talked about it last night. Lebron's already had an MVP trophy taken away by a point guard who's not as good as Parker, so it wouldn't be a shock if it happened. Well, Parker's in San Antonio, so yeah it would be a shock. It could happen. Lebron's far and away the MVP though. Parker should be thrilled to be included in the discussion.
He's averaging 29 points and 9 assists the last four games. If he keeps up his current level of play, he'll win MVP going away and deserve it.
Hollinger's PER : http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics
Tony, Tim and Manu (despite his injuries) are 4th, 5th and 20th in PER right now ! The Big 3 is awesome, as always !
Tiago is 35th with 19.87.
Lebron is on another planet, there's no way he's not the MVP again.
But I would like a 1st team of Parker, Paul, Durant, James and Duncan.
That would be insane for a 37 years old Timmy to share that with Tony...

not really a legit shot. i laugh whenever someone says parker should "get consideration" or is "in the conversation," which are code words for "he has no way of winning MVP but we'll throw him a bone." i'll be happy when he starts getting actual MVP votes. even if it's just a few votes, that would mean parker is truly getting consideration.
This. The gap between 31.63 and 28.91 PER is much much larger than a 31.63 and 28.91 PPG. You can shoot yourself to a scoring champion like KB did, but the efficiency of LeBron is otherworldly.
Depends on the record that Spurs finish with. If they go on a crazy winning spree, then maybe (and by maybe I mean like less than 10% chance).
Yeah, it would be insane, and won't happen. Duncan should still get 2nd team if he keeps up his production.
Have the all-NBA teams changed the position requirements like the All-Star game voting? As in it's now 3 frontcourt and 2 backcourt rather than 1 C, 2 F, 2 G? I could see an all-NBA first team of LeBron, Durant, Carmelo, Tony, and CP3 even though none of the first three are big men.
Parker up to 8th in scoring and 4th in assists. 20th in FG percentage.
How any Spurs fan can still hate on Parker is beyond me. Screw the CoM or the CoP....we should all be members of the CoB3 (Church of the Big 3).
Well, in counterpoint, Marcus Camby has one.
If Nash can win two MVP, I say yes Tony Parker can win the MVP
