head on head billups has an advantage
but tp in game 7 shut him down
A lot of people on here have been talking about TP's stepped up play, so I thought I'd mention Billups' play. He hasn't been shooting well, but through 3 games he's averaging 9 assists and 1 TO. How do you think Parker and Billups compare?

yeah! 27 assists, only 3to's through 3 games!
My vote is Billups of course!
TP passing has improved
Bowen shut Chauncey down.
HAHAHAHAHA..........Thats Smush Parker! not TP!
I noticed that that is why I edited that
and parker is not?
In an eight year career Billups has averaged 13.6 points on .408 shooting and 4.6 assists to 2.0 TO. At Parkers age he was scoring 8.6 PPG on.337 shooting with 3.0 assists. Thanks but I think I'll stick with Parker, his present and his future. If Parker has put up Billups numbers at age 29 he'll have been a complete failure.
Parker is legit. But IMO Billups is better.
For now, Billups holds a slight lead, he's a better man to man & versatile defender + better shooter -esp in clutch time-, but considering their age & Tony's potential, TP can catch up within a year or two -better Midrange jumper & FT would help a lot, as his ever improving defense.
One thing for sure, Both are not pass first PG -averaging 9 assists in 3 games doesn't make one IMHO
Billups is also a lot more experienced and, arguably, is THE star of his team. Parker is still only 23, appears to be improving every year, and is not THE star of his team.
If I had to win one big game right now, I take Billups. But over the course of the next 3-4 seasons, I'll take Parker.
It might just be me, but I've argued here before that Parker is the 2nd most talented player on the Spurs roster, behind Duncan and ahead of Ginobili in terms of sheer basketball talent. I stand by that. Ginobili has accomplished more and done it more consistently, particularly when the chips are on the table, but in the long run, I think Parker is the better all-around player.

Per usual, I agree 100%.Billups is also a lot more experienced and, arguably, is THE star of his team. Parker is still only 23, appears to be improving every year, and is not THE star of his team.

BIllups has a pretty good size advantadge over Parker, otherwise I'd say it would be close
I love Tony Parker's speed and his fearlessness at attacking the rim.
I love how Chauncey Billups has evolved into a much more cerebral point guard. I love his leadership, his clutch shooting, toughness, and his overall confidence.
I think Chauncey is better right now. I think Parker will be better maybe as soon as 2 years from now, but it will more likely take 4-5 years, in my opinion. I realize most Spurs fans would disagree it will take that long. But, I just think Chauncey is THAT good and will continue to be that good for several years.
I think Tony Parker is a top 10 point guard. It seems he's really improved his jumpshot. Would still like to see him get stronger to become a better defender, and to continue to develop his basketball IQ, because his physical talents are already pretty amazing.
The only thing I wish Tony would do is average more assists. But I guess with that that offense you can't but damn...sometimes Tim averages more assists than Tony.
Remember if we didn't win the lottery placement he would be playing for us and Timmy for Celts.
I think right now Billups is the better PG. He gets his people involved in the offense a lot better than Parker can right now and he has a better outside shot. Parker is explosive to through the lane and is a better finisher at the rim. Overall I think Parker will end up being the better player of the two but right now Billups has the edge.
*************ATTENTION TO ALL CHAUNCY HOMERS***********
This argument of billups vs Parker is totally moot in every conceivable way.
Why, you Chauncy Homers may ask?
I shall reveal to you the answer:
Tony Parker is a starting point guard in the NBA whose strength is using his speed to get to the basket.
Chauncy Billups is a starting point guard in the NBA whose strength is 3 point shooting and getting to the basket as a result of habitually and continuously palming the ball.
Show me another player inthis league who travels less than him.
Even better: Show me another player in this league who seriously knows no other way of dribbling other than to palm it.
I honestly think the refs let him do it because they know its the only way he knows how to dribble. He even has to palm it while dribbling and standing in place.
How pathetic is that?
The argument is moot.
But his hands are so incredibly big the refs have to let him get away with it!!!!!
But its the only way he knows how to dribble!!!!!
But he won a finals mvp!!!!!!!
bah.
moot.
Yeah Billups is better than Parker. I think Billups is the perfect point guard for a playoff series. He has a size advantage to most point guards. I think Bruce Bowen owns Billups though because for once Billups doesn't have a size advantage. Teams are at a disadvantage from the start when they put their point guard on Billups. I think you should switch with Detroit and have Parker guard Hamilton who isn't quite as strong as Billups.
Do you think Chauncy would be called for more or less travelling violations than LeBron James if he represented his country in Olympic Basketball?

Palming is a league wide problem. Wade does it more I think.
