probably
Fast, quick, good finisher at the rim, can shoot the three, but with poor courtvision and poor PG skills. Assume Pop tamed him and made him more than just a scoring blur, similar to what he did with young Enrique. Do the Spurs even miss a beat during the le winning years?
probably
Not happening. Parker has become Pop's prodigal son. Enjoy dribble dribble dribble dribble....
Neat
Apples and Oranges, tbh... Tony is injured.
To be fair, during Tony's poor playoff runs(2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, a few others in between, 2014), he was always injured IIRC..strained hamstrings, broken ankles, I think he played 1 year on half a leg, he was missing 2 fingers in 2014 IIRC..
Barbosa is/was horrible. He is a crazy wild dribbler.
No.
God No.
Welcome to another addition of FKLA's random thoughts. Yes folks we've been treated to many great FKLA takes including timeless hits like: "shut down enrique" and "why won't pop shut down enrique"
This current hit packs a punch and glides in as if on air. You don't know what hit you until you lift yourself off the floor. BARBOSA. The name of beast, familiar, but still foreign. Kudos to FKLA for an A+ thread. Barbosa, genius man, just good
Replace our aging, injury-prone PG with another old, injury-prone PG. Brilliant. What's option C, tbh
Regarding the injury excuse: he is a small (basketball size) guy who specialized in driving into contact. The dude earned his injuries. Much like another oft injured guy we know and love around here.

His dunk on Bosh on a broken leg last year was epic tho.... warrior, tbh
Wait, that was Manu, nevermind...

Math says you are way off.
So much underwhelming playoff runs from Tony. Mid-2000s Parker was the worst - Highly inefficient and incredibly selfish. Timmy and Manu were in their prime and this French asshole would takes more shots than either of 'em. Took more shots than TD in '04 Lakers series. Took more shots than Duncan and Manu throughout the '06 playoffs. Easily the biggest choke artist of his generation.
No he isn't. I noticed no one was following before reading his post mentioning it.
Thank god he wasn't shut down. I don't know where the Spurs would be without his 10 ppg average in April. Or his 10 pts, 1 assts, 2 TOs on 4/11 shooting in the playoffs. I haven't even gone into his world class defense either, the defense would fall apart without him tbh.
Just because Barbosa is better than Tony now doesn't mean he always was tbh.
Obviously not. But young Enrique was once a wild horse until Pop tamed him too. I'm simply asking, what if Pop got his hands on Barbosa and took the time to tame him just like he did Enrique. They have a similar skillset (fast, quick, good finishers) and similar weaknesses (courtvision, passing), and Barbosa had the advantage of being a better 3 PT shooter.
I guess I'm just wondering if Enrique is just a glorified Barbosa? If Barbosa ends up in SA and if Rique ends up in Phoenix, Barbosa could very well have won championships while Enrique would have gone down as an overrated chucker and probably been out the league by now tbh.

Tony was probably a better finisher than Barbosa was ever going to be. He had a many ways to score in the paint. Barbosa just tries to out athlete his opponent to the rim.
