Dime: Who’s Better: Chris Paul Or Tony Parker?

[noob cake]

CP3 and King Crab are really the only two players who could take a team of trash like the Hornets to the playoffs. (Seriously who the on the Hornets actually has value?, CP3 and DWest?)

Chris Paul is a better player than Tony Parker

How can Parker be better than Paul when he can't even beat JJ Barea?

I would say it depends on the team and what you're looking for from your PG. If you're looking for a guy that creates shots for others, is a good defender, is a great passer and to "manage" (not in a bad way) your offense, then you go with Chris Paul. If you're looking for a guy who can penetrate, get into the paint, finish, or score, then you would go with TP. It all depends on the team.

Why don't we just call Tim Duncan a 3-pt specialist while were at it:

I wouldn't put it past these spurfans to think that.

Good Point. Good Post.

I think people are sleeping on CP3's scoring ability. He is as good, if not a better scorer than TP.

So an AllStar is a dog's ass? What does that make most of the Mavericks, Phillip?

Paul is a street ballin' hood rat. Parker is an NBA player.
Paul has better style. Parker has better substance.
Paul is surrounded by kids (and Peja). Parker is surrounded by professional athletes.

Who puts butts in the stadium seats? Paul.
Who would I trust to win me a championship? Parker.

Could go either way, for realz.

His average doesn't do his scoring ability justice. He usually doesn't even shoot in the 1st quarter. He tries to get everyone else going 1st. Parker is sick and 2nd to none at penetrating and getting to the rim. They are both great scorers, TP's style just gives him more attempts and he makes good of those attempts.

I'm happy your backing Parker! I wouldn't want a dumbass w/ absolutely re ed reasons backing Paul, just makes that player look worse.

Paul is better than Parker. Not by some huge landside, but by enough to where arguements to the contrary are homer-esque.

I'd go for "as good".

[stretch]

I'd go for "as good".

I'd go for better, because he can score by penetration very effectively himself, but is a much better jumpshooter, gets to the line more, and is a better FT shooter.

Plus its a lot easier to gameplan for CP3 than it is for TP because TP actually has a very good team around him, while you can just double and triple CP3 while daring his ty teammates to beat you.

Why are people acting like having a 7 foot athletic big man in Chandler that can run the floor, a PF in West who has great range, one of the best 3 point shooters to play in Peja are nothing?

[Trainwreck2100]

Paul is a better pg by light years, better player is debatable

Chandler was hurt almost all of last season and Peja was building brick house for the Katrina victims all last season. When he has a good team around him, he showed us what he could do.

It's splitting hairs, both are very gifted scorers. I'd say Tony's a better penetrator and a more creative scorer around the paint, and I'd agree with you that Paul's better at getting to the line and better once he gets there. As far as shooters, Paul's better at 3's, but I think they're about equal shooting midrange behind screens.
