Well deserved after his recent string of games. Tony sits only behind LeBron James right now on the MVP ladder.
STATS FROM LAST WEEK (2/15-2/21):30.5 ppg | 3.0 rpg | 9.0 apg | 2.0 spg
The long All-Star weekend didn't slow down Parker or the Spurs, either. They whipped the Sacramento Kings Tuesday night behind Parker's 30 points and 11 assists and then trounced Chris Pauland the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday as Parker led the way with 31 points and seven assists. Just so everyone is clear on just how good Parker is lately: he is averaging 28.5 points on 56 percent shooting and 9.3 assists over his past five games for the runaway best team in the league (in the standings at least).

I envy the hometown Spurs fans who can actually go catch a home game and see Duncan, Manu and Tony all play at the same time. These guys will all be in the Hall of Fame and their numbers will obviously be hanging from the rafters. If you live in SA, go see a game. Think about us poor bas s that caught all the games under Rotten Fitzsimmons.
I love the qualification. Like there's any other way to evaluate teams that would give a different result right now.The runaway best team in the league (in the standings at least)
Kudos to Tony but Lebron's got this thing wrapped up.
F*** Lebroom!
Lebron is definitely getting it this year and if Tony keeps it up, he'll be second for sure
The world is yours chico and everytin in it
Parker has really impressed me this past month. He's on a whole other level. Right in Lebron's orbit.
Would love for him to keep it up and get and MVP out of it.
Westbrook at #9
best PG in the NBA right now..
He also leapfrogged Tim Duncan in PER...
Absolutely deserved haven't always been on his band wagon but hes amazingly efficient right now and most impressive to me is when he turns it up on "D" also.
Tony Parker is the best point guard in the NBA.
So we have the #2 MVP candidate, are #1 in the power rankings (i think), and TD is still getting major consideration for DPOY despite missing significant time. Can we please stop saying "zomg we're under appreciated like always."
and we've had a fair share of recently national televised games
Who knows, maybe he'll get the Karl Malone MVP treatment where everybody said MJ deserved it more the year he got it but still managed to eek out the most votes out of nowhere?
As good as it is to see TP play at an MVP level, I don't think it's a winning format for the playoffs. The first game the other team changes their defense on him and Parker goes into passive mode the Spurs are going to lose because they've become so reliant on him.
Not this year. He's learning to be a true point guard. I believe he will adjust much better if teams try to adjust to him...
If Tony averaged 40-10-20 the rest of the way they'd still give it to LeBron i'm sure.
LeBron still probably deserves it, but maybe the voters will try to be hipster or "visionary" and give it to Parker.
But tbh if the Spurs end up with the league's best record by a decent margin (4, 5 games) the TP4MVP chants might grow pretty loud. I think he's going to need strong showings in remaining games against Miami and OKC
That would be nice. Malone winning over MJ in 97 and over Duncan in 99, pfft what a load of .
It's not too hard to make a case for Parker. Lebron, for all of his gaudy stats has his team with two stars four games behind Parker's oft-injured team. If the award is truly about who's been most valuable and not who's better in a vacuum, Lebron isn't even close to a shoe-in.
If Pop doesn't win the COY, Parker the MVP or Duncan the DPOY, voters have to reevaluate their selection procedure.
He wont get it because LeBron is the bigger star, but he desrves it
Should be top 3 for sure
But since LeBron doesnt care about regular season awards he will probably give to Parker, and play even better in the playoffs
No, If he averages 40 assists, 10 steals and 20 blocks, I'm sure they will give it to him.
You're haunted by the WCF tbh. I'm not saying it's an unwarranted fear, but I haven't seen anything passive about Parker throughout this entire season. Two of the big three out, no problem. Throw length or the best athlete at him, still dominant. He's just got that killer instinct this year. He'll need to be that same force in the playoffs for the Spurs tp grab #5, but I'm slowly becoming a believer that he will.
