Tony Parker > CP3

[Figlo]

Skip is right...

Question. When Parker scored 4 points and 11 points vs CP3 in the previous two meetings on 30 percent shooting.. what did that mean? Now one game or even a month of games means A>B?

Barnes > Manu?

Give Parker the Hornets teams Paul carried and he has far less success obviously. Rings are largely luck of the draw.

Parker has been better this year. In my opinion the best guard in basketball. Paul being the second best this year. Then you throw in Kobe, Wade, Harden, Westbrook, etc.

Parker actually has one of the FMVP trophies. So the argument is there that he was quite a large contributor to those teams.

Spurs offensive system >>> the Clippers defense.

"Rings are largely luck of the draw." Tell that to Russell.


Btw, CP3 is one of my fav pg as I've made many great posts/comments praising him here on ISH. I was extremely pissed when Stern vetoed the trade. But today, clearly TP outplayed CP3 by a mile.

I didnt say he wasn't a huge contributor. Switch them teams though and CP3 probably has an extra ring next to Duncan and Manu and TP has trouble getting the Hornets to the playoffs.

Only thing Parker has on Paul is scoring and I think a part of that is simply because he's a more willing scorer. Paul is far less aggressive and doesn't look his shot as much. CP3's a pretty capable scorer when he's looking to do that.

Guess you could make an argument for Parker being the MVP, in terms of who's the better individual player give me Paul.

Agree 100 percent. Parker is an MVP candidate but not the better player. CP3 defends better, passes better, rebounds better and has a larger impact on the game normally. Also has the edge in intangibles like leadership and clutch. Also like you noted when he's aggressive CP3 can score easily.
