    That's one way to look at it , Whottt.

    But you have to realize, Tony is in his 4th NBA season.

    Manu is in his 3rd.

    Tony has more experience than Manu in the NBA. Age doesn't always mean everything.

    And another way is through blue and white lenses...no doubt.

    No doubt.

    Manu is close to his peak....regardless of how long he has been in the NBA. The next 2-3 years should be the best basketball Manu will ever play in his life...

    Parker's best basketball is a long way ahead of him.

    Manu has played a of a lot more basketball in his life than Parker...he's played more pro-basketball against grown men than Parker.

    At the same experience level Manu was not an NBA prospect, while Parker was.

    Parker may not ever improve...but he will be an exception to the rule...Jordan, Hakeem, Shaq, Drob...most great NBA players hit their prime around the age of 27-30.

    And as you guys are quick to point out...as the Olympics prove...it's not like Manu was playing in a league over in Europe.

    He's a more experienced player than Parker and he is at the point of his career where his mental and physical peaks are closest to intersecting.

    Manu is the better all around player right now...as he should be...but it's foolish to think Parker won't mature...specifically in the area of making mature decisions.

    And let's not forget...PG and C are supposed to the hardest NBA positions to master.
