Close to=qualifier that means nothing. Close to like five guys are ahead of him? Seven? Means nothing, what it means is is that he's not actually playing at an all-star level. And LOL @ using stats to compare to Tony Parker. Plenty of guys have T5T's numbers, because his minutes are generally controlled, but I never remember him shooting 41% or anything close. Come on, dude, "kind of trashy" is at least as close to right as "at or near an all star level." The difference is one is a passing comment, the other is a dissertation approaching ten days in length now.
