Hard to figure out why....
If it were not for Parker this year playing at a Superstar level, we would probably be out of the playoff race by now

In the "rating" scale, Parker is a distant third by Spurs fans behind Duncan and Ginobili.

Because fans like the "fire" from Manu and the Dunks and 3's and Tim has been the Man. So it is not too surprising to find that TP is behind. It is ridiculous, but not surprising.
not surprising and unfair
It's probably because he is french :P anyways, he is the best spurs player!!!
He is underrated and as DPG21920 said above, it is really ridiculous![]()
TO THE NO!![]()
LOL, yeah, Duncan is overrated, the best PF of all time is overrated.
And I'm not the only one who doesn't agree with you, the number of MVP's, finals MVP's, defensive 1st and 2nd team appearances, all NBA team appearances, and statistics all disagree with you.
Hey, i dont say he wasnt great, cause he was, he is/was one of the best players of the nba, and best of spurs for a long long time, but look at the word WAS. His time is in the past, it doesnt mean he is still good and great and all. His time is over. But currently, tony is the best player of the spurs, and highly underrated, if it wasnt for him, spurs would be probably not much worth this year. he plays at superstar level, while tim has left that level, which is completely normal.
Tony is a distant third to Manu?
I don't know about that. Sure, when Manu's on fire he's unstoppable, but Parker is so much more consistent, and gets injured far less. I'd say Manu is third unless he's healthy and playing balls-out. At that point he might be better than Duncan.![]()
he said "in the rating scale" and "by spurs fans". it has nothing to do with the real level.
I can't believe a Suns fan would call Parker overrated after the way he's continuously raped Phoenix since 04-05.
rondo is not at the level of tony parker and im not sure he ever will be. hes playing on a team with 3 superstar scorers. it opens a lot of doors for him.
you talk about potential but why give up parker for rondo because he has the potential to be good as parker? seems like of counter productive to me.
and parkers like 27, pretty darn young too.

Not only no but, NO...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I'll still probably get a bunch of for this.....but does anyone think this is a closer argument now than 2 months ago?
Did you see Parker dropping 43?
If you want another le for the Celtics, it's the thing to do !
The only way I would do this is if I was Danny Ainge. Boston management would kill Rondo if they thought it would get them Tony.![]()
No doubt. He was great. Never meant to imply that he wasn't.
But I think Rondo is great too. Maybe the best performance in the playoffs so far.
And I'm not saying one is clearly better than the other -- just that its close, especially when you take contract situations into account.
Bravery and re ation are two different things.
If anything, it solidifies just about everyone's thinking on the matter.
I don't see Rondo doing what Tony does on a nightly basis.
I am, Parker is clearly better than Rondo.
The reason Rondo was looking great was because of the horrible interior defense the Bulls were playing. Tyrus Thomas and Joakhim Noah were constantly out of position, practically begging Rondo to take it to the hole. Tony is the better player, and it's not even close.
What an absolutely idiotic thread. I love Parker's at ude and hate everything about Rondo. Rondo passes to one of the two best pure shooters in the league, one of the top 5 big men, and another great scorer. He's also a little . Tony is compe ive and confident but never stupid. He still has the Spurs streak of determination and putting his money where his mouth is. Rondo isn't even an improvement over Tony in any area on the court. He's a talented player on a team with elite talent, but Tony kept us afloat for an entire season and put this team on his back without complaining. Tony Parker deserves to be a superstar in this league, and I wouldn't have said that before the Dallas series.
Tony will always be better than Rondo. Five years from now I would still take Tony. And he's making 12 mil to be one of the top 3 pgs and top 15 players in the league.
