Murray would easily best that if given the chance, tbh.
Remember tony was given the reigns after Pop decided to take a leap of faith after 4 pr 5 games...ppl have been talking about Murray not being able to shoot, thus shouldn't start...and how amazing tony was as a rookie...he was good, but i think ppl are mixing up how good he was after his rookie season with his actual rookie season
9.2 ppg... 41%fg... 67%ft...1.4 stl... 4.3 Ast... 2to

I agree
Porker was garbage until the Spurs' first dynasty ended in 2007 tbh. I'll never forget how dreadful he was against LAL in 2004 tbh....
He was on fire the first 2 games, then completely disappeared the last 4
Still doesnt beat 8 turnovers in a
Championship clincher in miami
Even Timmy sat down thinking he won a ship even got congratulated by Blair on
The bench and Turdnobili became Lebrons MVP
Smh

Missing 30 shots in the last 2 games.

Murray is in his second year... could he have done that last year? It’s qustionable. Parker had no mid range and had a hard time finishing at the rim in his first year, but was more mature and use to professional basketball.
Murray was maybe more skilled in his first year, but not his mental game wasn’t quite as mature.
Rookie Parker over rookie Murray imho
After game 2 Phil Jackson made adjustments to keep him out of the paint and we had no effective counterpunch in our arsenal.
He also became passive... Trust me... I vividly remember that series... They were more physical with him... And he got passive
Dis alt doe
Parker was allowed to grow into his starter role... Murray didn't have that benefit, so it's possible he would have not only had a better statistical year, but his leadership qualities may have surpassed rookie Tony... I dont see a rookie Tony waving away pop... For goodness sakes pop yelled at him the other day to give kawhi the ball
Yeah just trade murray for curry and kd
Good trade, tbh...
Waving Pop was stupid and disrespectful. I don’t care how you spin it. Murray maybe has a higher false sense of confidence is all that means.... and trust me, I’ve never been a huge Parker fan, but He had played professionally since he was 16 and he had to help lead a team with Duncan, Robinson, and a much more high strung Pop.
I actually like Murray more than Parker at this stage, and I think he COULD be better. Yes Parker was exposed by Phil, but you can bet your ass he would expose Murray just the same
Difference is I don't see Murray backing down and getting passive in his third full season because ppl get physical with him...
Murray as a rookie was no where near as good as Parker. That said, they both had horrible jump shots their rookie year. It took Parker like 4-5 years to get an acceptable jump shot. No one is saying Parker was HOF his first 3 years.
Maybe Murray gets as good as Parker. Hopefully. But he’s not as talented or physically gifted as Parker. Parker’s speed was way more effective than Marrays length.
I agree, but third year is different from rookie year, no?
That and didn't Turkoglu disappear
I was saying that in reference to u saying they would have don't Murray the same... So im not talking about rookie Murray... Im taking about Murray that had a couple years under his belt like Tony did by time he faced them in 04
How can you possibly assure any of that when we never got to see rookie Murray play a full season? We just saw glimpses of him, and those glimpses were pretty damn good.
In terms of the physical tools, I don't know how can anybody argue in favour of Tony, tbh. Yeah, Tony was probably the fastet player in the NBA back then, but DJ is pretty damn fast too, and he also has quickness, agility, size and hops. Murray is a much better physical specimen than Tony was, tbh.
got OP continues to be the worst poster in the forum
Let's compare their sop re seasons when the year ends.
Parker 2002-2003 (20 years old)
15.5ppg, 2.6rpg, 5.3apg, 46.4FG%, 33.7 3P%
Since we're bringing up rookie seasons for no reason
Manure Ginobili 2002-2003 (25 years old!!!)
7.6ppg, 2.3rpg, 2.0apg, 1.4TO, 43.8FG%, 34.5 3P%
Also Fronting Shaq worked really well those first two games.
Horry, Duncan, Manu, they all in contributed to that 04 choke show. Wasn't just parker's fault. Pop himself to blame mostly, IMO.
