why tp is not a top 5 pg

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Parker is becoming a dominant point guard and right now he is still a top 5, did you not see tonight's game? He's not duncan for crying out loud, he can commit errors, he is still mortal, but as far as parker games go, he tore it ing UP!!! what's his career high, like 34 or so? What we saw tonight was a premiere tony parker scoring clinic, a performance to be cherished..
I'm proud of my spurs after tonight's game.

Yo,

this thread is a fantastic summary of reasons why i am posting very rarely on spurstalk,whether if i am enjoying many people posting since the good 3 years i am having a look at spurstalk :

after a good game of parker, there is always a "dumb-ass" who tries to show that parker is not that good...

that's exhausting.... and tiring....

So...let me get this straight...apparently, in order to be considered (by you) "a top 5 PG", one has to make the 100% right decision 100% of the time? No mistakes, whatsoever? Never?

Alrighty then. There aren't any "top 5 PG"s in the league. They all screw up occasionally, many of them more often than Tony does.

PS...not many people in here (except the Parker homers) believe he is a top 5 PG anyway..

and Duncan passed a lot of opportunities yesterday. he was not in confidence with his shot and tony as a good leader recognized this.
He made clutch FT yet he missed badly earlier but kept focus.
He was amazing guarding . made good fouls at the right time. did not let himself get out of the game because of errors.

it was one of his best all around game ever yesterday

Sorry TP is not top 5.

Steve Nash
Jason Kidd
Allen Iverson
Chauncey
Arenas

When Kidd is healthy he's a top 5 PG, but he hasn't been 100% for a while now. He can't take over the game the same way that the other four and TP can.

There is something funny. In many thread I have read that Tony is not a good PG because he doesn't have enough assists and scores too much.
But if you look at Arenas stats:
26 pts 6.1 assists in 40 minutes. So per 48 minutes: 31 pts and
7.3 assists.
And then Tony:
20 pts 5.6 assists in 34 minutes. So per 48 minutes: 28 pts and
7.9 assists.

So I should conclude that Tony is a better PG that Arenas (7.9>7.3) even if he averages less points (Tony has also a bit more rebounds).

IT IS STUPID TO MAKE LISTS OF TOP5 PG!!!!

So, cause I am stupid, this is the best PG in the league:
Rick Brunson 24 assists per 48 minutes... but he played 4 minutes this season
