Forbes’ a role player given too much decision making. He’d be great within a system.
Dang and against the biggest thrash-talker Peyton, who could actually intimidate especially a rookie? And with the ball in his hand to facilitate. I almost forgot this Parker. Yup legendary

I loved TP's tribute video. Amazing TP's plays, the rings, celebrations with Tim and Manu...Loved it.
Other players like Cory Danny Brandon Kyle Jonathon Dwayne really talked with Kawhi and still do it.
Some people wanna say that Kawhi didn't communicate with his teammates but he really did it.
While he had 4-5 close guys in 2016, it was pretty obvious his lack of chemistry with the older guys LMA TP Manu.
Also, Parker can try to deny his problems with Kawhi but he was the only former Spurs that didn't exchange/meet Kawhi while warning up...
Bret Brown/Coach Bud/Cory/Dedmon/Kyle/even Tiago Splitter in the game vs Nets...Everyone shared love and hugs with him but Parker. I would say the issue is real.
Why would he? Kawhi quit on his team. During Manu's last season.
He's saying Danny knows it's all on Kawhi.
What’s funny about the Ray Allen 3 is that Tony was covering LeBron on the 3 he missed and then since Manu was on the floor ran full speed across the floor to at least get a hand up. Literally the only Spur playing any defense on that play.
to be fair he said kind ofHis team from 2008-2015?
This is the one thing that made me not fully embrace him like I did Timmy and Manu. That ego.
With that said, he was a loyal Spur and I hope he gets the reception he deserves. God bless the great William Anthony Parker, tbh.
offensively he was indeed
he did not say that in an arrogant way tbh.. just to reinforce the fact that he was kind of saying one of the leaders of the team and had no issue to pass the torch to kiwi
Hard to say if had more balls TP, or Pop to give him the reins (sure, there were no other playable PG). One of the best rookie season in history.
...BTW about the referenced game....what a majestic talent was Vin Baker: if only he had half a brain...
Lol Parker was arguably the MVP in 2013 you complete re . Aside from the finals, he was unstoppable in the regular season and playoffs. Ray Allen only got the chance to hit that shot because Manure gave the Heat 8 extra possessions.
2013 regular season:
Parker - 20.3ppg, 7.6apg, 52.2FG%
Manure - 11.8ppg, 4.6apg, 42.5FG%
2013 Spurs first round vs Lakers:
Parker - 22.3ppg, 6.5apg, 49.3FG%
Manure - 11.3ppg, 4.8apg, 46.7FG%
2013 Spurs WCF semis vs Warriors
Parker - 22.5ppg, 6.2apg, 42.6FG%
Manure - 12.7ppg, 6.7apg, 34.2FG%
2013 Spurs WCF finals vs Grizzlies:
Parker - 24.5ppg, 9.5apg, 53.2FG%
Manure - 10ppg, 4.5apg, 40.7FG%
Manure s trying to rewrite historyas per usual the NUMBERS say differently. I wonder if those same illegals would say Manu "played like " if those numbers were reversed..,.
Not to mention Parker defending Rip Hamilton's miss on the last play of game 5 in the 2005 Finals.
Most idiotic was his leaving Allen to go in for the rebound attempt.
Spurs were up by 3 with 4 seconds left. A Heat two pointer off a missed shot means absolutely nothing. We win the game if the Heat make a 2 pointer as the clock expires. Absolutely no reason for Parker to even attempt to rebound. Parkers ONLY job was to stay on Allen. ONLY way we could have lost is by a trey. Which he facilitated 100%.
Super low BBIQ.
Self proclaimed "Leader"
But enough about Manure and Patty.Super low BBIQ.

Anyone can cherry-pick specific series. Your post proves nothing other than your stubborn willingness to continue to ignore that you operate on bias.2013 regular season:

The fact is the Spurs needed both Tony AND Manu to bring their A or B game for them to succeed in the post-season. If either of them laid an egg in a series then the eventual outcome of that series was usually not favorable to the Spurs. Let it go... both of them are gone.
Uh, not that I've thought about that play after the Spurs rang in 2014 but Allen was Manu's man on that plan. Manu was the one who fell down trying to get the rebound. Parker defended LeBron's three and then came in rushing from across the court to get a hand up on Allen's three while Manu was on the ground, tbh.Most idiotic was his leaving Allen to go in for the rebound attempt.

For non-narrative spinners, that play was obviously neither Parker nor Manu's fault. Especially not Parker, though, if we're going to assign levels of blame, tbh.
Lol attempting to go after me instead of moron player fans in this thread. Trying to play the neutral card like you always do, but your colors always show phenomanul
Concur faulty memory it was not Parker on Allen. What a collective team re situation of too many Spurs going for the hero rebound and letting Allen slip back for the wide open trey. When a two essentially ends the game.
Just prior to that play, a real re failure to either guard the trey or for that matter do ANYTHING positive was cherry / nose picking Green.
Check it out after Spurs went up 94-89 with only 28 seconds left. LeBron shoots a trey and clanks. Clock down to 23. Watch freaking Green. He not only guards no one he starts going to the other end of the floor!!!!!
Manu initially on Ray Allen, but a kristal clear switch was made with 13 seconds left after Manu got screened out. Henceforth, Green on Allen one on one, as with 10 seconds left Allen slowly walks in in towards the basket, Green not only goes in too but actually ends up standing directly under the hoop. With his back to Allen.
Just an enormous super low IQ play by Spurs. And Green.

Exposed left and right as per the usual.
We're talking strategy so why don't you run along outside.^

You were tucking your chode inbetween your legs, actually. That Parker schtick got shut down quick lol. Embarrassing....
That's not the position you should die on your sword tbh. All we needed from Manu was to not turn the ball over 8 times in game 6. we don't need him to have an A game for game 6 and probably don't need him to have a C game either. I can argue we win the championship if he had an F game as well. But the dude was damn near playing for the Miami Heat in game 6 and had worse than an F. If Z were a grade then that's what he had.
plus Parker is the only one who stepped up in the clutch. He played ty all game but made two huge game winning plays and was also the only one who realized that Ray Allen was open. It took the ENTIRE Spurs team to kill Parker's heroics tbh. Ginobili with turnovers and missed free throws. Kawhi with missed free throw. Boris for not fouling Bosh immediately after he got the offensive rebound and giving up the offensive rebound. Danny for ing leaving Ray open to begin with and not even trying to rebound. Pop for benching Timmy and Timmy for letting Pop bench him. Parker was LITERALLY a one man team. Everyone else in that final minute might as well have been wearing Heat jerseys and nobody can say otherwise
Can't argue too much, tbh. I will say Parker had three huge game winning plays (the step back three over LeBron followed by the clutch steal followed by the go ahead shot in the lane). Green's bigger sin was leaking out on the break instead of fighting for the rebound on the previous play (Pop literally never forgave him for that). Pop taking out TD was classic overcoaching. Ginobili had the bad luck of his worst game of all-time coming at the worst time possible.
But, oh well, Spurs rang in 2014 (it's not like they were known for their back-to-back championship prowess, so can't even argue that missing out on 2013 cost the Spurs a sixth championship) so all is well.
It Still Doesn't Hurt.
Between your Parker chode swallowing...….that game winning attempt he put up after the Ray Allen trey for the tie.
Here's a napkin. Embarrassing.
Yeah 2014 really really helped the healing process. And I mostly forgave Ginobili for that horrible game though for some reason I haven't forgiven him for the Dirk foul (and Ginobili played like a WARRIOR in that game). Kinda like how my dad still doesn't forgive Elliott for missing the two free throws that led to the Horry 3 in 1995, even after the memorial day miracle.
It's not the thought of back to back champions that hurt me (although Duncan did pretty much guarantee that they would've won it both years) but the fact that I have to see the Ray Allen shot in like the greatest finals moments of all time promos. Along with Duncan going undefeated against LeBron that would've been cool too. Also it might have cost Duncan an additional finals MVP which would've really separated him from Shaq and Kobe. I rather have won in 13 and lost in 14 just for Duncan's legacy.
Better yet go back and guard LeBron at the arc. He had 10 years to recover from his contest of LeBrons shot and get back to him as the teams scrambled for the rebound. We had Timmy Dunks and Kwa for the rebound. (Kinda looks like they fought each other and/or over zealous Manu tipped it away from both of them.)
Regardless of the lucky rebound by the Heat, Spurs were up 94-89 with only 23 seconds at that point. They pretty much had to try another trey. WTF was Green doing guarding NO ONE. Not only that but heading back towards the other end. FFS.
