So far, so good. He might have just locked up an all-star spot tonight.
I know he takes a lot of heat from us Spurs fans especially in the playoffs where he has been very up and down. However this guy is just blossoming in front of our eyes as a big time player in this league. I know his jumpshot is not there yet but it is a of alot better than in years past and it is only going to get better. you can see Tony is a real hard worker and what i love about him he is fearless, they beat the out of him tonight and he kept coming. In another year or 2 when he is hitting that jumper with regularity he will be a 25 or 26 ppg guard in this league no doubt about it. It will be interesting to see what happens with him down the line. We have him another 5 years after this one. By that time if healthy he should be one of the best players in the league. However Timmy will be at the end of the road and we all know once that happens bye bye glory years in San Antonio. I wonder if they resign Tony and rebuild around him at 29 years he will be. Well who knows but he is going to be great and soon boys and girls.

Oh if he is not in the ASG they should just cancel it.
I was more impressed with that than anything he has done all year.
I know he did not drive as much in the second half for awhile, but Miami did a good job of focusing on him. Imagine that, Tim Duncan is on your team, and they are trying to stop you. I think that says alot.
He may still not make it. There are alot of guards that could beat him out. I think he's deserved it, but anything can happen still.
Kobe
Nash
Bibby
Cassel
Davis
Paul
Allen
Richardson

No way any of those bolded players make the all-star team over Parker.
No way in ing
If either of those two, are even CONSIDERED ahead of Tony Parker.Cassel
Davis
Someone needs a good old nine iron to the groin.
I think the only guys on that list who would be clear picks over Tony would be Nash and Bryant, maybe just Kobe now that I think about it. The points in the paint gets him in -- he's making history.
Davis scores .7 less points pg has .7 more rebounds pg and 3.3 more assists pg
Cassel scores 1.8 less points pg has .2 more rebounds pg and .6 more assists pg
Paul scores 2.7 less points pg has 1.8 more rebounds pg and 1.2 more assists pg
Allen scores 4.8 more points has .3 more rebounds pg and 2.4 less assists pg
Richardson scores 3.4 more points has 2 more rebounds pg and 3.3 less assists pg
All of them beat out TP in 2 of 3 main categories.
All of those guys average more in steals per game except for Bibby,Nash and Cassel
All of them have less turnovers than TP except for Nash
While TP is doing great at points in the paint.......he falls well behind all other players mentioned in 3pt% and in FT% with the exception of Davis
My point here is that numbers are all very comparable. And lets face it, stats are always used as measuring stick to compare all the players.
I'm pulling for TP to make it, but to think he's head and tails above everyone else is silly. Many arguments can be made for alot of players.
What needs to happen, is increase the number of players voted into the All-Star game. The current number of players has not increased even though the league has expended. Doesn't seem fair as every year we see deserving players miss out.
Not necessarily, record does have some bearing, last year Marion made it over Brand, when the coaches voted in 3 Suns.
GOOD time to trade parker now
By the coaches?And lets face it, stats are always used as measuring stick to compare all the players.
I doubt that. I would say most remember how each player performed against his team and how much they had to prepare to deal with them.
History + best in the west team = ASG
Sure, I could be wrong, we'll see.
No doubt.
But you could talk about Cassell being responsible for the sudden emergence of the Clippers. They're probably the suprise team of the year largely in part to the play of the alien.
You could talk about Chris Paul putting up numbers comparable to all these other players while being a ROOKIE.
Again, there are alot of reasons someone could argue for any of the mentioned players.
I say Brand makes it, easily, and Cassel gets snubbed or the last spot.
I would say Paul gets excluded because he is a rookie in a crowded field and will get his ASGs in good time.
Some of the shine is coming off the Clippers as they are about to be passed up by the Lakers and Wolves and fall to #8.
I would say that the only guards Tony has to worry about are Nash and Kobe....
PS
Tony strait killed Baron earlier this season....Davis couldnt even stay in front of him. He better not make it over Tony
Tony Parker is the best point guard in the Western Conference.
Check the in record, the points in the paint and the sidekick.
STFU.
Tony "Freakin" Parker!
It would be a travishamockery if he doesn't make it to H-Town.
Show me the minutes per game and neither of those players are the 3rd option on the team like TP is. He gives way to TD and Manu (when healthy). You put TP on those teams and his numbers are better period.
MPG
TP 34.9
Baron Davis 38
Richardsn 38.9
Allen 38.9
Cassel 34.9
Paul 35.9
Only Cassel is the same, and Paul is on a sorry team where he's free to do more. TP is leading the league in points in the paint. No PG has ever done that. Besides Kobe and Nash, he's in.
After tonight's game, Tony is now tied for the league lead in FG%. Unbelievable.
Bar Kobe and Nash, Tp has held his own pretty well against the other top guards. He'll make the AS team, but it will be close. If only France had a population 1/10 of China.......
1. Parker is a better defender than all of those guys.
2. The Spurs have the best record in the West with a subpar Duncan and a frequently injured Manu. TP is the reason why.
I am not sure what league you have been watching this year, but only Kobe, Nash and perhaps Allen are near the al ude Tony has been cruising at all year. Paul has been great, but as a rookie not near as deserving as a young established star with two rings and just entering his prime. If it were a fans vote, you may have a point, as most fans lag a few years behind. But the coaches game planning every night know who has been making the Spurs go all year, with both Tim and Manu not near their best yet.
Tony has a bit of a swagger to him now and why wouldn't he, he's a 2 time NBA champion, he has his cheese and has one of Hollywood's sexiest women.
All this by the age of 24, most young men this age are still filling their socks with morning love.
Personally I think Eva is the one that brought it all together, not intentionally, but just being the right woman that came into his life at the right time. So it's no wonder his game has climbed a few notches.
Tony is out to prove that he is one of the top point guards in the league so enjoy the ride folks our Tony has grown up and is on a mission.
