dont compare paul to duncan again. seriously.
Chris Paul is having a fluke year, like Mike Bibby in 2001-2002.
We won't remember who Chris Paul is after this season is done.

Chris Paul is a great player. Must be the water in Wake Forrest. Seriously though I think he is right up there with Nash and Parker. Tony not Smush.

I think TP is great but CP3 is unbelievable and will torch any PG in the league
Um..Nash, Paul, Williams, Kidd, and Baron Davis are all on a totally different level than Tony Parker. He is a second tier point guard.
kidd sucks. Devin Harris>>>>>Kidd.
Kidd>Parker>Harris get real
I'll take second tier over that list of trash you threw up.
Since when are Finals MVPs second tier guards?
hahaha kidd>parker riiiight
Funny how just last year anyone with half a brain would say Kidd is better than Parker, but combine the Kidd critics with the fact that he's now a Maverick and Spur fan laughs at the thought.
Parker = Finals MVP and 3 rings
Kidd = 0
Robert Horry = 7 rings
Kevin Garnett = 0 rings.
Horry > Garnett.
Parker played well in that series, but he is a very good player who sometimes looks like a great player because he's got Duncan behind him. Don't ever forget that. He's a rich man's Devin Harris.
So why are Duncan, Ginobili and Parker called the big 3?
To some dudes here we should just change it to Duncan plus the scrubs it seems.
I thought the last 5 games or so finally proven that Ginobili can carry a team.
And even though you can say Cleveland was horrible, he still carried us to the le and had a well earned MVP throphy.
I simply think that Parker would not be as effective without a dominant big behind him. You can say that of a lot of players. Parker is an All-Star reserve caliber player. I assume "Big Three" is for marketing purposes.
Talent wise, probably not, but do you think that winning 7 les with 3 different teams and teammates is pure luck? The guy is pure clutch and effort and he also made the right decisions as to where he should play in order to always be playing for the trophy.
Garnett is a great talent, but the options he made, like staying in Timberland forever is nobody's fault but his.
He's a great role player, no doubt about it. If I were a GM, he'd always have a roster slot and a spot in my rotation. But you know, a large part of that is being in the right place at the right time -- he was drafted by the Rockets, not some crap-ass team, he was traded to the Lakers, not some crap-ass team, and he chose to sign with the Spurs, instead of with some crap-ass team.
If you look back at Garnett's career in Minnesota, I like how people expected him to advance to the second round when his teams were always the seventh or eighth seed and they were playing much stronger clubs. What series did the T-Wolves lose that they should've won?
But that works like that everywhere: Tony-TD, Nash-Amare, old Kidd-KMart, Williams-Boozer, CP3-Chandler/West...
I actually do think CP3 > Tony, because I think he's a better distributor. But even then, I think TP does a pretty good job against any of the elite PGs out there.
Is the same thing with Denver Nuggets. Carmelo Anthony is a good player but his teams even with AI at best are a 6 to 8th seed in the West. I liked how last year some people had them beating San Antonio in the 1st round. Anthony has yet to advance past the opening round.

Ginobili is good, stop putting words in people's mouth ass.
Who the is talking about last year? We were discussing now weren't we? Parker's got another ring and a Finals MVP since then. All Kidd's gotten since then is another couple of wrinkles around his eyes.
The balance has definitely shifted. That list you threw up was trash. Just own it and move on.
Actually a couple of people here said that Ginobili couldn't carry a team, and that he would pretty much suck without Duncan around.
It's on the Ginobili thread right on this board. So before you open your big mouth to end up looking like an ass again, please catch up on the reading.
With a consistent jumper no less. Are you telling me that Devin Harris, if he were in last years NBA finals would have had just as good a shot at winning the MVP?
Be honest now......
Parker is a better version of Devin Harris, their skillset is similar, but I'd give the edge to Parker. And if Devin Harris was your starting PG, he'd look better than he did in Dallas with Duncan behind him.
He was actually traded from the Rockets to Phoenix, on the Barkley trade. He realized he wasn't going to win there, and so he did the Ainge towel in face episode which resulted in him being traded to the Lakers.
