Top 15 for sure..Possibly top 10..Top 10 for sure if you dont include ty 60s players.
Where do you guys have him ranked?

Inarguably Top 5
no particular order
Magic
Robertson
Nash
CP3
Thomas
Curry
Kid
Payton
Westbrook
then you have the ones I'm not very familiar with tbh like cousin, frazier... stockton is overrated as imho.. on top of my head
Top 15 is maybe not that of a reach if you give a lot of importance on number of rings tbh
forgot guys like archibald but short career or jackson but meh
He doesn't crack top 15 imo. Barely on the fringe.
Here are 20 better pgs in no particular order:
Iverson
Isiah thomas
Magic
Gpayton
Kidd
Stockton
Westbrook (or will be in 2 years)
Billups
Cp3
Dave bing
Mark price
Lenny wilkens
Dennis johnson
Kevin johnson
Timmy hardaway
Walt frazier
Nate archibald
Bob cousy
Steve nash
Oscar roberson
I say tony is a fringe top 20 pg but better than those near him on my list like:
Norm nixon
Penny hardaway
Fat lever
Mark jackson
Rod strickland
Etc.
One could argue he is better than a cousy, bing, or wilkens but i say no because i compare players as greats by comparing them to their compe ion and era.
Cousy , bing and wilkens were better players in their era as compared to tony and his era.
Tony is no where near being the top point guard of his era. Imo that has to count for something when compiling a greatest of all time list.
The list cant consist of current point guards. History has to be taken into account

Nah..TP9 is a sure shot top 15 PG..Possibly top 10.
Forgot Billups ! I'm a fan tbh..
if I say that some will say I'm a parkerstan
Effing Parkerstan. Smelled your raunch ass a mile away... Wait.
you know I really don't know if he is top 10, 15, 20. I'd say top 15/20 considering the 60s/70s dudes on their reputation because I'm not that familiar with them but the fact he is in this kind of discussion (I just googled that and I find him right there between 10 and 20) is already a great achievement for a skinny 6'1 French guy drafted 28th at 19 y/o tbh
ABA basketball
60s players...
Cousey wouldnt even make it into today Johnston Highschool Varsity.
Mark Price
Mark price was a baller. You dont know because you have never watched him.Mark Price
Top 25...and that is pushing it.
Easily top 10...could be argued to be top 5 since he usually outplayed the best of his generation and wasn't a statpadder on teams that could never win a championship (Nash, CP3, Westbrook, etc.)
He's also the winningest player of all time (minimum 1000 games) and the leading playoff scoring PG of all time (passed up Magic a few years back). If he has a few more deep runs, there's a chance no point guard ever breaks his playoff scoring record.
He doesn't.
Prime Tony top 20-25.
Kyle Anderson: 18,499.
Not sure where I would rate Parker, but I agree with your points. He did outplay or at least ah even in head to head match ups with supposedly better PG's in the playoffs year after year.
In the end it's hard to weigh whether he benefitted from being on a great team, versus how much credit he gets for making those teams great.
Nowhere even close. It's like asking where Marcus Banks or Reece Gaines ranks in the best PGs of all-time debate.
Yea, the all-time assists and steals leader and Dream Teamer, who shot 51.5 FG on his career and probably could've played til he was damn near 50 "is over-rated as ."
I'm really amazed at all the love for Nash on here...
In the last 25 years they have only been 4 PG's who have shot better FG percentage wise than Parker in the playoffs who have played atleast 50 plus playoff games. Those PG's are Kevin Johnson, CP3,Nash,Stockton.
