The development of Tony Parker

[Darius McCrary]

This is my favorite Parker sequence of all-time. I read somewhere (Simmons I believe) where it's just as good if not better than what Jordan did to close out game 6 of the 1998 Finals against the Jazz - on the road, clutch shot, steal on the other end, go-ahead bucket. In my opinion this would have been one of the most clutch sequences in Finals history if we didn't choke it away. I think it secures Parker's 2nd FMVP (his and Duncan's stats were pretty similar at that point) and with his G1 clincher and that, along with being the best player throughout the playoffs, no way he doesn't win it IMO.

Edit: here's the article (not Simmons) - http://www.poundingtherock.com/2014/...of-tony-parker

Agree.

Spurs frequently get clutch big time shots that count for nothing but that was in the finals so def is no. 1.

Duncan's sick long, one handed, fadeaway 2 with Shaq grabbing his forearm in the 0.4 game always comes to mind.

He makes way less than LMA and he has never and will never make what Kahwi is already making. Try again.

3 years 45 and he completely ripped us last year.

Great game tonight, seriously. Great role playing by him all season long.
If he plays to his boundries he can help win another 'Ship.

I don't know exactly how Parker became unstoppable against the Pistons.

Was he shooting differently? It was like he was just making pull up jumpers and not needing to beat his man on speed.

Parker definitely has to change his game as he ages. If this is a preview of that changes, then I'm pretty impressed.
