Tony Parker is the best player in the NBA. One day you will listen to me.
Tim.
But if Tony gets two more games like games 1 and 2, he's gonna get it.
It's the same scenario with MJ winning so many MVPs. Eventually they'll give one to Karl Malone or some other person one year.

Tony's lookin' good so far for that MVP (as far as how the media is hyping him)
In the press conference Tony said its too early to determine who the MVP is, but that Tim is the main guy for the Spurs. Tony Parker knows the reason he is able to shine on this stage.
Tony. They've found ways to frustrate Tim for short bursts, but Tony is treating this series like a practice walk thru. He gets anything he wants. The only blemish on his entire series is that he is shooting a very Cleveland-like 60% from the line.
Duncan is doing what he did during Manu's great Finals performance, had two great games, Duncan right behind him.
Tony's had two great games, abusing the opposing team, while Duncan puts up typical Duncan gamese.
Seems to me the CAvs are doubling Tim, and actually would rather have Tony beat them. And boy is he beating them....
Tony is da man.
tim duncan. if manu doesnt win in 05, tony wont win in 07
duncan
it would be nice if tony got it tho
NBATV right now said that Tony is "clearly" in the lead for Finals MVP. Just sad ...
TiMVP
That's why he might get it. Media is all over it. He has been playing really great. I'd be really happy for him. He's got to play this way on the road though. If he fades on the road, Duncan will get it.
I think you're right. Manu played out of his mind then, like Tony is now.
But, like I said earlier, I'm all about Duncan. And so is this team.
His numbers don't match Tony's in points so far but he does so much for this team that he's got to be MVP unless something drastic happens.
But damn, Tony is playing great.
Tony's doing great. But take Tony out we still have a chance to win it. Take Tim out, and ...well, it won't be pretty.
Timmy all the way.
I want tony to get it
he deserves to get more calls
I wanted manu to get it last time not duncan
that is if spurs win the series
I think the media votes for it so right now i think they would give it to Tony. However this series is not over i don't think Tony is going to have a big game in game 3 because they are really going to try and limit him in the lane. This is do or die for the Cavs and they have to stop one of the big 3. I am seeing a Spurs win or close loss where they are asking Duncan and Manu to really carry them.
I want Duncan to get it, it would only be right.
I want Tim to get it. It will add to his legacy.
I love Tony. He is my favorite Spurs player, but you gotta give it to Duncan.
He is the engine of this franchise.
Duncan will carry them, he always does. Watch the last 6 minutes of the third quarter in game 7 against Detroit in '05. I believe Duncan's performance in that 6 minutes is what won the game and the series. And he was hurt then.
Duncan's defense this season, and this series cannot be overlooked or get lost in Parker's points. I think the voters will recognize that and Duncan will get his fourth. Tonight Parker outscored him but Duncan had more assists!Not to mention the rebounds.
The whole package has to be considered in the voting.
And Duncan is the whole package. He always has been.
It's close for sure ...
PPG: Parker 28.5, Duncan 23.5
APG: Parker 4.5, Duncan 4.5
RPG: Parker 4, Duncan 11
STL: Parker 1.5, Duncan 1
BPG: Parker 0, Duncan 2.5
TO: Parker 3, Duncan 1.5
FG%: Parker 58.1%, Duncan 57.6%
FT%: Parker 60%, Duncan 75%
Very close on most categories except Parker's 5 PPG advantage and Duncan's 7 RPG edge.
Anchoring the defense, though, gives the lead to Duncan so far
Parker would have to go on the road and average 30+ for me to think about him being MVP.
As of right now, gotta give it to Tim. He's the foundation of this team and is playing damn well. Parker is playing well but it's only 2-0 and anything can happen the rest of the way.
Parker right now but it's super close.
Tim does not need to win the 4th finals MVP for it to add to his legacy especially if this is an easy series. The Piston series he had to step up even the Nets series but if this is a ho hum 5 game affair where the Spurs are never really threatened than no way him not winning a 4th mvp hurts him at all. This le puts him through the roof nomatter what.
yeah, but 4 Finals MVPs looks real good on paper.
Even Magic only has 3.
