Tony Parker

Ask Steve Francis? Duncan is an established big man in the NBA and Yao is a still work in progress. Different situation.

Love how people find little things to throw at Steve.

 

some penetration ability????? I don't know what you've been smoking...but there isn't a defender in the league who Tony Parker can't leave in the dust. They say no one is quicker than Iverson...but I highly doubt that Tony Parker is any slower than AI.

 

It's a lot easier to be a mature point guard when you pass to the big man everytime down the floor and have enough self control to resist trying to run an iso for yourself. We should ask both Steve and Cuttino.

 

He is. Your point?

 

Whoa, so many rose colored glasses used here to judge other team talent

FYI, Parker have just dropped 32 pts on one of league best PGs combo, Bibby and BoJax.

He did that while TD, the man who supposed to make life easier for him ( according to Rox fans ) spend much of his time on the bench , plagued by foul trouble ( playing for just 32 min, waaay below his avgs ).

Franchise, better sharpen your perimeter D, or TP would show you the truest meaning of humiliation !

 

Yeah...Steve Francis, one who is in company of Oscar Robertson, Magic, and only few more(To average 18, 5, 5 in his first three seasons) is the one with something to prove.

TD better have TP's back or SF will show him some new tricks. OK?

 

What bothers me is that Parker has ONE great game and everything thinks he is an ALL-Star material. Even when Griff has a great game, everbody still thinks he is a bust. I agree he is going to be a good PG but I think he is going to be maybe a good starter who wont have considerations for All-star status (ala Cassell). I dont know maybe its just me and i will get flamed for it in the very near future.

 

Parker having one great game?? Uhh...I guess you haven't been watching the NBA this year have ya?

 

*cough* SPURS FAN *cough*

Seriously, this is ONE that has gotten national exposure for his play. I know he has been doing good all season (he is on one of my fantasy teams ) but I know that game will give him the most hype of his career.

 

Great player. He knows his role on the team, unlike the Rockets.

 

I'm glad the Spurs have the "overrated" Tony Parker on their roster.

With regards to Kidd, it's hard to see any team pass on superstar talent when they have the ability to add that talent. If such a combo didn't work then a move could be made later. Much better than passing on Kidd for Olowokandi simply because Olowokandi would be filling a 'need'.

 

Quick question. How is Tony Parker's defense? Can he hold his own? While I know he is young and bound to make rookie mistakes, does he have a clue on defense or is he comporable to Steve Francis?

 

Let's just say he's not any worse than Francis. Probably not better than SF, but definitely not any worse.

 

Who doesn't know their role, if you are referring to Francis, his role is he is still the man on this team, sure he hasn't had a great season, but he's been the man since he's been here, and he's had a successful season in that role, the whole team is adjusting to the addition of Ming and other lineup changes.
