DuPree: Ginobili popular as fans reach for stars

[IceColdBrewski]

With the exception of only a few, Manu leads Parker in every statistical category.

Manu is better. Period.

I hate these TP vs Manu debates. They are pointless! Who cares which one is playing better then the other. They both are spurs, and they both are very good players. Im glad we have both of these young rising stars. The future looks bright.
How old are they?
22 and 26? Or something like that.

Good lord. Can we knock off all the stupid Manu vs. Parker talk?

They're our boys, they both kick ass, they are going to help lead us to some more rings.

Can't you all just accept that, quit quantifying them, and get on with your lives?

Remember, the whipping boys this year have been Barry, Rose, Rasho, and soon to be Karl Malone. Let's keep it confined to those guys.

I can't believe there are actuall Spur fans who don't like Tony Parker? That's strange. How can you not like a young, speedy pointguard? He has championship expieriene, and is tough. What are you going to do when Tim and Manu are retired, and Parker is barely 26 years old and the new face of the team?

Apparently you also have a whipping girl in Spursgal.......

Hey, we had these same debates in 97-99 betw DRob and TD. This will always happen when SA has 2 legit stars on the team..

It is that we Spurs fans are not used to having more than 1 legit star on the team, so we do not quite know how to handle it.

someone obviously doesnt get to watch to many games (as of today Ginobili and Parker are both shooting .490 fg%)....stop with the hate....and just be glad the Spurs have one of the best backcourt combos

oh yea and nice choke job eagles

I don´t agree that
Both are Shooting 49,0%, right

But Tony Shoot too many less 3 Pointers, so it´s % is very different

Manu is #27 with 39,3% from 3, with 3.5 Attempts por Game
Tony isn´t in The First 100 with 26,9% with 1,9 each Game

Manu is #40 in Scoring Shooting only 10,6 Shoots a Game
No one in the First 50, shoots less times than Manu
Tony shoots 13,1 Times and is #46 and 9 Players have More Points with Less shots

Manu is #12 from 2, With 53,9 %
Parker is #19 with 52,9%

Manu is #3 in Points per Shot Scoring 1,51 Points per Shot
Parker is #70 with 1,20 per Shot

Manu is #7 in Adjusted Field Goal %, with 55,6%
Parker is #32 with 50,9%

In all around is the Same %, but Shot by Shot not

Finally Manu Scores 15,9 Points per Game in Only 486 Shots
Tony 15,8 in 629 Shots

The Only thing for Tony is when Manu Shots 5,2 Free Throws and mading 4,2
Tony only Shots 3,6 and Made 2,4
But the % is for Manu again with 80,7% to 67,2%
And 67,2% from the Line is the #25, the Last, Between the PGs, the #24 is 73,6%
Manu is #22 of 46 Between the SGs
