parker led the show. it's timmy's team but tp really stepped up. finally.
I watched every game and to me Duncan had a bigger impact on the series and played better. If you think it's all about points then fine. But duncan's overall play to me trumped parker's scoring. His job on the boards and his overall precense defensively has been passed over for a guy who scores and who's defense isn't even comparable.
And even statistically, duncan beats parker ther. More rebounds, more assits, more blocks, more steals, better ft%. The categories parker is better in is Points and fg%.

TD struggled offensively the last two games. It's that simple; the Finals MVP has nearly always been an offense-first award.
Congrats to TP, who deserved the honor.
Parker won 3 out of the 4 games.
parker wins by default. stats wise and the short series, its a good sell.
Parker was more assertive on offense, taking more shots, scoring more points and doing all of it at a higher clip. That's what matters to the people who vote. That, and flash (as evidenced by TD and Bruce not getting much consideration or none at all). Everything else becomes worthless
Parker had a good game basically every game, Duncan really only had 2. So Parker gets it.
You answered your own question.
Why did Billups win over Ben Wallace in 2004?
Same deal.
going to last nights game oposing starting point guards shot 2-20
Billups was clutch, a playmaker and also a beast on defense. Ben Wallace was only a beast on defense, and did not even cover TD one on one.
tony runs the show now, its still tims team but the cavs couldnt stop tony!!!
Bull . If Timmy didn't do what he has done, Tony could score 40 ppg and Spurs would be beaten anyway.
9-1 in votes why duncan did not get it
Spurs knew Parker would be MVP. Duncan would have trouble with a lengthy Varejao and Ilgauskas while Parker would drive around an old Snow, a hobbled Hughes, and a noob in Gibson. Plus Parker wouldnt spend energy defending the 3, while Duncan has his hands full down the paint with LBJ and Big Z.
..and I'm sure Timmy could care less whether he received the trophy or not .. He's a real winner!!
Bull . If Tony didn't average that kinda number in scoring while doing it efficiently, the Spurs will be beaten anyway, since the margin of winning in each games were not bigger than the difference beetween Tony's reg season scoring AVG vs post season AVG.
Bull .Do you believe that we can't win against The Cavs without TP?

Without Parker I'm pretty sure we could have a chance to win against The Cavs but I'm not sure if we could win the series without Duncan.
Parker deserves The MVP but the defend was the key of our team and TD is the key of our defend.
I'm with Montengrino. You could just as easily argue that taking away TD's rebounds, points, assists and blocked shots would result in a loss each game.
Awww OV...did we go off and sign another damn euro?!?!?!?! DAMNIT! This "Ducan" guy better produce or BACK TO GREECE YA GO M-F'er!!!!![]()
It was a dead heat after three games, but Tony won it in the first half of Game 4.
