Parker is the best point guard in the NBA

Woj on Parker's clutch shot:

In that wild final possession – on a night Parker had 21 points, six assists, two steals and no turnovers – there was the Frenchman's career in a capsule: What started out wild and untamed turned into something so polished and poised in a pressure moment. This is the headlining job Spurs coach Gregg Popovich gave Parker two years ago. For everything Duncan had been to these Spurs, they belonged to Parker now.

"Get me my fifth ring," Duncan tells him over and over.

Parker loves the burden, the responsibility and embraces it. For all the discussions of legacies in these Finals – from Duncan to James, Popovich to Pat Riley – there's Parker chasing his fourth championship and perhaps his second MVP of the Finals. To elevate these Spurs over the Heat, there's a case to be made that Parker's the greatest European player to ever come to the NBA.

Wrong.

Tony ain't the best PG in the NBA, he's the best guard.

Wrong.

Tony ain't the best PG in the NBA, he's the best guard.

Co-mutha in'-signed.

Parker's better than everyone else in the league aside from Durant and James right now. His dominance in both scoring and passing are complete. I'd venture to say that he's one of the best passers in the NBA at this point. His assists tonight were absolutely ridiculous, watching the game clip and seeing how on target everything he throws is just damned impressive.
