Manu, easily.
he's bolivian, they don't play any sport up there.Prime Manu was a beast and the better TEAM player.
but prime MVParker is just on another level in terms of 1-1 basketball. 2 7 footers could not stop TP. You think Manu would have a chance?
Manu is easier to neutralize as hes always been a bad midrange shooter
Tony would destroy Manu
Manu, easily.
Yep. Not even close.
prime Kobe beats Manu in every single possible configuration without HOF help
I bet they played a lot of 1 on 1 in practice over the years. It would be a great question for someone to drop into the conversation while interviewing both of them.
Manu.... easy.
Parker in '13 was pretty in sick. People tend to forget just how good he was. A legitimate MVP candidate. His hamstring injury certainly bothered him in the Finals but he single handedly destroyed Conley and the Grizz.
I'd agree that in their primes, Manu would win but just because he's bigger, stronger and because quickness becomes somewhat negated in a half court game but as far as comparing Manu's best season to Tony's best season, they are pretty close.
manu would have more turnovers
who cares, they are both 1st ballot HOFers.
btw, one of this year's inductees is Sarunas Marciulionis, a player that Manu reminded me of. Both left handed, both with great Euro steps, and very hard to guard. Congrats to Sarunas.
height isn't as important if you know how to defend it. manu is only 3 inches taller than parker. do you feel kwame brown would beat ginobli one on one because he's 5 inches taller? i think manu destroys him because parker can't play defense worth . In a one on one game, he's not gonna have duncan at the rim to help him when manu blows past him.s don't know how important height is in a game of 1 on 1
Manu easily. wings are advantaged against short point guards in 1 on 1. they have the speed of the point guards, and yet taller than them. Point guards have no one to pass to in a 1v1, no centre to help them screen.
One obvious way you can tell that is during a fast break in a NBA game, if a point guard is the one pushing the ball against a taller wing defender, he may miss. But when a taller wing is pushing the ball on the fast break and the only defender is a small point guard, most of the time the point guard just stands there and don't even bother defending.
This thread isn't prime Tony haters vs Manu detractors material at all.
After all these years I've had enough of Manu vs Tony/Tony vs Manu talk...Maybe is the offseason but
there's no passing 1 on 1
OP continues to nuthug "8"
Parker would win, easy. We all saw what Manu looks like without Mills and Belinelli in 2013...
Manu isn't without good shooters around him. He isn't efficient by himself. Parker can shut down CP3, he can shut down Manu by himself
2013 Parker would probably tear Manu's hammy tbh
it's settled. Parker it is.
Parker would win. Right up his alley.
when have u ever seen in your life parker shut down chris paul? when was this?Parker would win, easy. We all saw what Manu looks like without Mills and Belinelli in 2013...

Manu > Park
Height is important if there's like a 4-5 inch difference. Otherwise, no.s don't know how important height is in a game of 1 on 1
Manu would win simply because he can shoot 3's consistently and sometimes unconsciously. In a game of 1-on-1, if Manu can drain his 3's, he would win without Parker even scoring a point. Enough said.
The American olympic team couldnt stop Manu.
The best teams in the nba couldnt stop Parker.
Therefore it would be a neverending game on break point
Would say, prime Manu. He would defend much better and would be able to make undefensible high % shots.
Really? Gee, thanks for informing me that information
Everyone tends to underrate Parker, but I think it'd be a lot closer than most would expect. I give Manu an edge just because of the height weight advantage.
