Whos Better: Parker or Hinrich?

[implacable44]

Well, let's see. Hinrich's white, so he's automatically the next Cousy or whatever old ass guard from the Eisenhower administration that can be referenced. Parker's dating a famous actress and is a darkie so he won't get any respect.

Oddly enough, there is a reason a comparison of TP with Cousy would be much more valid. Bonus points to the 1st poster who can explain why.

have to make it a race issue right ? you probably thought Isaiah was right when he said that if Bird were black he would be just another player too huh ? - Lets see PArker is black so he must be a thug, druggie, illiterate basketball player with illigetimate children spread out accross the globe too right ? I mean is it okay to make these stereotypes and racist comments for all or just against the white people ?

you are the essence of ignorance. - Hinrich can play - he isn't better than Parker though - to me Hinrich is a glorified John Paxson because of the team he plays on -- maybe a Mark Price.

You really believe that Bird received the notoriety he did solely because of his game? Why do you think that Middle America jumped on board with the Celtics in the 80s?

More like Parker is black so Middle America is going to perceive him differently, as well as the sports media.

Funny, you just exhibited the ignorance I was criticizing. Good job, dumbass.

All you need to do is rewatch OT of last night's game to see who is clearly the better player and can step up and lead his team.

Tony could have had about 10 more assists last night had Finley, Manu, or Bowen been able to hit an open shot.

[2centsworth]

Chicago fans would take Tony in a NY minute.

no Bird sucks - clearly the only reason he scored all those points - won those championships and MVP awards was because he was white - clearly - nothing at all to do with his game. I mean just because he stole that pass the black guy made on the pistons and passed it to the the black guy on the celtics to win the game which prompted the black guy to make the comment about him being white - well that was all irrelevant. -like when he lit dominique up - it wasnt because he could play - it was just because he was white - wierd -

you might be the dumbest dumb A of all. - let it go man - let go of all that hate for whitey.

Bird clearly did not get the notoriety he enjoyed solely because of his game. If you deny that then you weren't paying attention in the 80s.

Yep. I hate "whitey". You might want to quit while you aren't too far behind.

Nah I have no problem losing the idiot race - just about all of us are behind you in that sense. -

Bird is one of the top 5 greatest players of all time. No doubt the media pushed him on a largely white customer base but he had more than enough game to merit the attention and Jordan got the most media hype of all -- to the point where people consider him the best ever to play the game - which I disagree with.

Oh, so now Bird's race matters? I am done with you, numbnuts.

[implacable44]

No I didnt say his race matters - let me spell it out for you - oh wait I am already spelling it out- Bird's game is what mattered. Bird - top 5 no doubt - you stated that it was all about him being white and i said the media probably did publicize him more because he is white and the customer base of the nba is largely white - but he had the game that deserved it.

tony is better than kirk...kirk is an overrated shooter for one, though he is a good playmaker. tony shot a better percentage than he did last year while scoring the same number of points. though tony is in a better situation we cannot speculate that kirk would do any better or worse had he been in tony's place....so based on current stats and potential...tony

Wha going on cruzan? Everything bless or wha? I gon be down deh round xmas time for carnival for sure. bless up!

[romsey31]

I'd take Kirk over Tony any day of the week.

Your hate of the Spurs is getting in your way to see basketball talent from an objective viewpoint.

You're teams' starting PG is Jamaal Tinsley. Let's face it......you'd take anyone.

Best response of the week!

Cousy's parents were French Immigrants...

Now what that has to do with Parker I am not exactly sure, IIRC his Dad is American, his mother is Danish or Sweedish or something...and Parker was born in Belgium. Even though Parker is a French Citizen...I don't think Cousy is, even though he is of 100% French ancestry, while Parker isn't. So what exactly is it that they have in common?

[sprrs]

So if you were given the chance to compare say Nash or Wade vs. Parker? Would you say you can't make that decision because they're not on the same team?

[Marcus Bryant]

Both speak French.

[Admidave50]

right now? Parker.

Long term potential/expectations? Hinrich.

Parker is 1 year younger, he still has plenty of time to develop his potential..

[romsey31]

I dont hate the Spurs. I would just take Hinrich over Tony.

[romsey31]

Really now? Why would I want a PG that shoots a worst FT% than my C? Everyone knows all you do is rough up Tony a bit and hes bound to stay outside and brick everything.

[samikeyp]

Cousy would blow away either one on pure PG skills, IMO.

Hinrich is good but I still take TP.

[Froggy]

Well, let's see. Hinrich's white, so he's automatically the next Cousy or whatever old ass guard from the Eisenhower administration that can be referenced. Parker's dating a famous actress and is a darkie so he won't get any respect.

Have you seen the way Cousy dribbled? Not to take anything away from him and I respect him as one of the first great players in our game, but he dribbled like a little girl learning how to play the game

As for Parker and Hinrich, I'll take TP every day. I'm not a big Hinrich fan, I think Tony is at least his equal defensively, and far better offensively.

[Froggy]

Cousy is a French name.
