A portrait of Tony Parker

[rjv]

well he's no russell westbrook, the best point guard of all time and infinity in all possible universes.

"Parker is fifth all-time among all point guards in post-season assists, behind Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Jason Kidd and Nash."

i figured ElNono took a break from his trip home to Mexico to update the servers with the Diaw emoticon. props to him or Slomo though for doing it.

and of course, to Parker for his greatest contribution to the Spurs....Bobo.

Seriously, Parker has had his great moments as a Spur but obviously his bad ones will stand out more. That's what's frustrating about some Parker loyalists...they absolutely refuse to acknowledge the fact that he has the bed plenty of times. And by the bed I don't just mean playing subpar I mean absolutely disappearing in crucial moments.

He did his part in '13 though. I'll give him that.

I always think of Parker as a superb regular season performer, but he simply isn't the go to guy in the playoffs, and that is where he dazzles with his vanishing act. Pop knows this, thus the need for guys like Jacques Vaughn, Steve Kerr, T J Ford, and now Patty Mills. Ray Allen may suck, but in crunch time I would trust him to make the shot much more than Parker. Duncan is the leader, Parker is a pretender

For being so terrible he's had a lot of success. And his numbers are good. Only some Spurs fans doubt that he is a great player. He will be a HOF and he was a Finals MVP. If he always " the bed" the Spurs wouldn't have 4 rings with him.

Lebron is the best in the game and he has looked bad many times in the playoffs. Parker critics are somehow blind to all the good he does.

Looks like a zombie tbh.

Also when comparing Parker head to head against other great PG's in the playoffs his stats are very comparable. The numbers just don't show this "vanishing act."

Manu's bad moments stand out more, and to make it worse his loyalists even blamed Kawhi for missing a free throw in 6

Parker has had his bad moments in the playoffs, 03, 04, 05, 11 and the series against OKC in 12. But the reason no one remembers his clutch moments is they haven't ended in a championship. He was clutch in 08 (the big shot in game 7 to put us up 3 is completely forgotten), in 10 (against Dallas, he hit big jumpers repeatedly), and definitely in 13. The best part is people say he could never be the best player on a championship team but he was 28 seconds away from doing just that while ripping a championship from Lebron which unfortunately a lack of rebounding and ft shooting promptly gave back.
