The hand-checking rules have been changed since 2001, but it has taken a few years for the rules to evolve into a different loooking game.
As of 2009, it's officially clear that super-fast guards can do serious damage in NBA defenses. Tony Parker, Chris Paul, Aaron Brooks ... the quick guys who can get into the lane at will have become little one-man wrecking crews at times.
The old way to guard them was to bump them off course with an arm or a body. The new way ... not sure there is a new way yet.
I had been assuming that every team would basically have to have a speedy defender to throw out there in those situations. (Somebody keeps blowing by Steve Blake? Bring in Jerryd Bayless!)
But assumptions are always dangerous, and Kurt from Forum Blue and Gold makes a great point: If nobody can stop those guys consistently without drawing a lot of fouls, why carry a player who specializes in trying?
And what's more, why play a tiny guy, when long ones are generally more effective?
The Lakers have had their best success not with small and quick but with bigger and longer. Look at it this way, under today's rules Tony Parker could not defend Tony Parker, Jameer Nelson could not stop Jameer Nelson. Defending these guards with bigger, longer players allows some room for mistakes with good recovery. They Lakers had some of their best success this season when Trevor Ariza was switched to cover a point guard. Just something to think about. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/...y-Parker-.html

parker was not going anyhwere ebcause ariza was so long and athleti
lets hope that ariza dosent go to a contender or e ally back to LA
Phil Jackson is the official TP stopper
KFC owns TP
Parker had 20 pts (FG 9/14) in that game. I would not call that "not going anywhere".
Andre Miller, the Parker killer!
Hey that rhymed!
I agree.Andre Miller, the Parker killer!
Miller is the best defender against Parker. He is a very physical defender.
PGs that have given Parker trouble:
DWill
Billups
Barea
CP3 (on offense)
Andre Miller
Devin Harris
Nelson
Parker is not indefensible. He just capitalizes on teams that aren't prepared to guard the paint.
How is Marbury not on that list? He used to make a living out of dominating Parker.
I think he's talking currently.
In Fact the problem is:
Can CP3 defend TP better than TP defending CP3?
I saw many games with TP with 30 points and the rival PG too and sometimes CP3 more, with CP3 on TP and Bowen on CP3
