I never gave my opinion.. Just a debate, tbh..

I thought to myself, could he potentially be top five? Think about it, who out there could be greater?

A bit...with the point being is that everybody is playing a role on a team. It doesn't matter if Nash, CP3, or Pocahontas rack a whole mess of stats if they don't win. Winning is the object and the Spurs have been pretty damn good at it. In fact the best in ALL TEAM sports for the last 16 years.

All the guys counting their pocket change deciding whether than can upgrade to a full meal deal need to consider the success Tony has achieved. It will put him in the Hall of Fame.

Not even close imo. Top 15 maybe.

Yeah, sure, it's just that, sometimes, often frequently actually, I found myself thinking, precisely because of what you say, that team is more important than its parts, what could have happened with a PG with precisely THAT mindset, instead of Tony, which... I mean, sure, great player and all, but looked more like an undersized Carmelo Anthony running the point way too often.

I get that you're biased against TP (see your avatar for proof), so all I'm asking is for you to please give me a list of players who won a championship as their team's leading scorer throughout the regular season and playoffs, led the team in assists throughout the regular season and playoffs, and was the only All-Star and All-NBA player on the team, and yet was not the team's best player. Then give me the list of the players who accomplished all of the above and was "MAYBE the third best player" on said team. If you can provide that list, then I'll know you have a valid argument and aren't just a TP hater like 25% of this board.

I'm not biased against TP at all. Timmy just happens to be my favorite player (see my avatar for proof). Timmy was clearly the best player on the Spurs during last years le run. He led the Spurs in MINUTES (ridiculous for a guys his age), PER, and WS. He was also the team's leading rebounder and shotblocker. I said maybe third best for Tony because Manu has a solid case over Tony for #3 after Kawhi.

And I don't need to provide a list of players who qualify for some stupid arbitrary qualification that you made up to prove that I'm "not a hater." Just look at my posting history if you feel inclined.
