Says the same dude who got carried in two Finals series.(Maybe he should try playing D for a change)
He also recently said this:
"It's like me and Manu back in the day. You have to sit and wait your turn. Sometimes I don't see the ball for a while but Kawhi is playing unbelievable. And it's going to be Kawhi's team anyways. I'll try to do my best to stay aggressive and be involved. But Kawhi's going to be the man. So I'll play off of him like all the years I did with Timmy. I'll just stand in the corner and wait for Timmy to do his thing. We always did a great job sharing or just wait our turn, it will be no different with me."

Parker is right. You guys are missing his point. . .he's not trying to on Kawhi, he's expressing his annoyance that Tim and Bruce never won it since they (especially Timmy) deserved at LEAST one if not multiple.
You mean in '07 when Camby won it? Dwight was essentially a one man wrecking on the #1 ranked defense in the league back in '08-'09. Tim also should have won it in '04 (the Spurs had a historic defensive season) when Artest got it despite not even being the best defender on his own team (Jermaine O'Neal).
[QUOTE=apalisoc_9;8552091]Very unspurslike. Hes basically ranting the moment kawhi won. Can you imagine what that got would say if kawhi gets mvp? Ship his ass to houston..He.belongs with all the losers there.[/QUOTE
Didn't you say in a previous post that you want gay slurs banned?
Why don't you run along and create your own site called KawhiTalk? I swear that small window that we let all these new posters in was the worst thing to ever happen to this forum. Slomo sucks.Says the same dude who got carried in two Finals series.
“I think Kawhi can say thanks to Bruce and Timmy for those defensive awards,” Parker said
Yeah. No. He's not right. Kawhi doesn't have anyone but his work ethic to thank for any awards he gets. ing idiots.
Said this in the the Kawhi thread when he won it.
But Parker as his teammate has no business saying it publicly.
The lil jealous bas . What a cancer.
And then people wonder why there's a group of Spurs fans that despise him.
They forgot about the Admiral winning DPOY back in 92 grr!! But yes both Tim and Bruce deserved a DPOY. Bull the people who won DPOY instead of them in their primes.

Porker.
He's ing spot on. It's an outrage that neither Timmy or Brucie got one
The Parker hate krew should just let this one go and STFU
What does Duncan really think about the little sniveler?
I don't see his comment as taking anything away from Kawhi. I read it as the work the team has put in over the past 15 years has opened up the NBA to actually looking at the Spurs outside of Duncan and Pop for handing out awards. I think Manu has a 6th man of the year award out there but outside of this the Spurs generally are not recognized for individual awards.I guess Mr. Spur, David Robinson doesn't count?
Parker can off with this, too. We all know Timmy and Bruce got robbed, that has nothing to do with Kawhi. He earned these.
No it's apples and oranges.
Yes Duncan and Bowen got burned.
No it does not have anything to do with Kwa getting the award this year.
exactly!
When do the All-NBA Teams get announced?
I don't buy it. He should start by acknowledging publicly and unambiguosly how much of his OWN success he OWES to other Spurs, including Tim Duncan, Bruce Bowen and Manu Ginobili, without whom he would have had a mediocre NBA career, before putting in perspective and downplaying Kawhi's credit for his achievement.
If he would be that kind of guy, yeah sure, but he is not. So shut the up Parker or learn to praise your teammates without downplaying your teammates at the same time.
"I can't believe they are still leaving him wide open".
I think he makes a great point here. I do think the exact same Kawhi on Milwaukee doesn't get the award. It's definitely something that you campaign for, and Kawhi doesn't or at least didn't market himself well enough to get it just from his play. But Pop and the Spurs' history of great defense made it so the eyes were on Kawhi. If you look at the list of past winners, you don't see many randos there. You also see a number of repeat winners. I feel that's because voters often don't look at defense and instead rely on reputation and hearsay. Kawhi had both last year due to the Spurs' success and Pop's comments.I think back in the day, the Spurs didn’t get that much respect. We had to earn that respect. Now everybody respects the Spurs, so they don’t forget Kawhi. That’s just my personal opinion.
I do think Tony could have phrased it better. Maybe something like, "Kawhi winning the award is the culmination of all the work the team has done over the 20 years to establish itself as a defensive powerhouse." Then he could have gone forward with his part about Bowen and Tim not getting the recognition they deserved and how that made the media not forget Kawhi. It's the exact same meaning, but without the hot-button language that feeds the trolls.
Why stop there? What has Leonard earned himself?
He owes the Spurs for drafting him, he owes the coaches for making him better, he owes the Spurs for offering the only system for which he could play in, he owes hall of farmers that allow him to play, he owes the end of the bench guys for the knowledge they drop on him every day, he owes them for any and all recognition.
Some day Leonard might earn something through hard work but he still owes the Sours for everything. If that little would only live up to the contract he signed and show a little thanks to his teammates and coaches. It's embarrassing.
Everyone just needs to do their best and forget the rest
Tony sounds a little envious and bitter. I think Duncan and Bowen both deserved to win that award at least once, but Leonard doesn't have to thank them for his two DPOY awards. He earned those and is an elite defender. I'm kinda surprised by these comments, but then again its not the first time Parker has made some comments that make you scratch your head.
Phrasing? Wow...
He was asked about Kawhi's success. It was that ing straightforward. Replying to that with a reminder of WHO Kawhi OWES his success is not a matter of phrasing, it's a matter of what's going on in his mind. Who the is he to remind Kawhi what he owes to whom? Wow, what a butthurt prick.
