Re: Tony Parker - First Ballot HOFer
Acting like the 3rd best player on the Spurs dynasty was better than LeBron James is insane. Spurs with Tony Parker as the best player never make a single finals :lol

I'm starting to wonder if the basketball hall of fame is even all that special. There really needs to be an NBA Hall of Fame with legit standards for being inducted as a player.

I think Parker's career including Eurobaskets is HOF worthy. Same for Pau. So it's ok. There are way worse inductees.
Ofc an NBA only-Baseball standards HOF would be way harder to get in to.

You’re right…they made 2 (2013 & 2014) - no Spur finished higher than him in MVP voting those years, and he outplayed everyone on the team in the playoffs both seasons.
Parker was literally the only all-star on the team in 2014 lol

Re: Tony Parker - First Ballot HOFer
Prime Tony in today's league as a heliocentric focal point is doing 25+ ppg and 8-10 apg on 60%+ TS. He would be right at the top of the league in paint points. Would kill this no-touching, wide-open paint game with quickness, speed, finesse, and craftiness.
