With Manu out of commission and Duncan a shell of his former self with career low numbers across the board, Parker is carrying the Spurs on his back leading the team in scoring + averaging 8 assists per game & has San Antonio on top of the Southwest division with the third best record in the West. How many other point guards in the league can carry a team the way Fab 5 Frenchie is?

Es-tu en colère?

I almost pissed on myself when he said that shit
after that there 'chip

that's some loser-ass iverstanian rationalization.

so deron has one of the worst shooting percentages of any PG in the league but you're happy with it as long as a rookie euro who's known to not be able to shoot is shooting worse?

tsk tsk... the soft bigotry of lowered expectations.

>It's incredible how he gets the most out of his teams.

and Shaq was like NOPE DOC RIVERS

although Chuck saved himself by saying "i need to see the list", and once being reminded that Pop is still coaching he'd probably switch his stance up.

as Phil if he had similarly talented teams. Pop is a helluva coach..

Top 5 Tony haters, I will let you go... but first, I want you to say: "I... love... crêpes."

boy, that "Top 5 Tony" crack is really biting Truth and/or LB in the @ss RIGHT TODAY.

But hey Im the one that said he was top 5

Like look at that Spurs roster. It's been him and the player formerly known as Tim Duncan against the world.

we're gonna get shut out of awards, unless they give duncan an attendance award for showing up .

but Id bet Doug Wins it

see what I did there?

a good year imo. I know his numbers are way off his career numbers, but what exactly does anyone expect with a guy who's played at a high level for as long as he has? He just pulled down 17 boards the other night. I wouldn't be surprised if he finishes the season averaging 15ppg/10rpg which would be very respectable numbers imo.

Parker propels

March 23 -- We've gone for months this season with Tony Parker involved in the MVP conversation. But we've never mentioned him as prominently as the Spurs' biggest fans feel he should have been mentioned.

Well, it's never too late to right certain wrongs. And it was wrong of us, and anyone else, to dismiss Parker as simply an afterthought in any serious discussion about this season's truly most valuable player.

Parker makes his long-awaited leap up the KIA Race to the MVP Ladder this week -- coincidentally the same week that a hamstring injury and general fatigue led to him being rested as the Spurs embark on an arduous six-games-in-eight-days grind.

He goes from the No. 10 spot he has held down since joining the list up to the No. 6 spot. There's plenty of room for him to keep climbing if he continues playing well and the Spurs keep up their winning ways with him as the catalyst.

Just how good has Parker been with Manu Ginobili dealing with injuries all season and Tim Duncan taking a back seat? When the San Antonio Express News handed out grades for the first 44 games of this season, Parker received an A-plus and this breakdown of his performance:

"With Manu Ginobili's injury, Parker became the team's focal point in the recent surge that powered him into an All-Star berth and even prompted serious discussion of him as a potential MVP candidate. During the second third, Parker shot 50.4 percent from the field, 80.7 percent of his free throws and averaged 22.8 points and 8.2 assists per game. Included in the surge were a 42-point game against Oklahoma City, seven 30-point games and the first surge of three consecutive 30-point games in his career. His hamstring injury and his recent claims of being tired are a concern as the team peaks for the playoffs, but Parker provided some of the best basketball of his career over the last few weeks."

Parker's been spectacular this season, even if few of us outside of San Antonio have taken the time to make a fuss about it. But he will no longer be overlooked around here.

Parker isn't the only player making moves on our list. Kevin Durant takes over the top spot from LeBron James, who drops one spot to No. 2. Kobe Bryant moves up to No. 3 from No. 4, swapping places with Dwight Howard. And Dwyane Wade continues his climb up the rankings, making it into the top half, at No. 5, for the first time this season.

Reigning MVP Derrick Rose drops out of the Top 10 completely this week, his injury absences and the Bulls' continued domination of the competition without him forcing our hand. Reigning MVP of The Finals Dirk Nowitzki finally pushes his way into the Top 10, shaking off that sluggish start to the season and rounding into his usual form.

No longer in Duncan’s shadow, Tony Parker showing off new grip on Spurs against Jazz

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/wizards/my-team-no-longer-in-duncans-shadow-parker-showing-off-new-grip-on-spurs-against-jazz/2012/04/30/gIQA1gOCsT_story.html

By Associated Press, Published: April 30

SAN ANTONIO — Before Tony Parker took the reins of the San Antonio Spurs, he first needed to disappoint them.

Not just with his words, but with how he played.

Both instances came after Parker retreated to Europe last summer while the top-seeded Spurs were still reeling from a first-round bust. That’s when Parker told French journalists that the trio of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and himself likely had no more championship runs left in the tank.

Maybe more troubling to coach Gregg Popovich was later seeing Parker on the court in London.

“Pop was mad at me when he came to London and saw me play with the national team,” Parker said after leading the Spurs to a Game 1 playoff victory over Utah. “Thought I played harder with national team. I told him, ‘I’ll play good this year and I’ll play with a different attitude.’”

So far, Parker is holding up his end of the bargain.

Popovich on Monday reiterated how his All-Star point guard this season has played like never before, continuing to heap praise after Parker scored 28 points in the playoff opener against the Jazz, helping give the Spurs their first 1-0 series lead in four years heading into Game 2 on Wednesday.

On the surface, Parker’s performance in the 106-91 victory Sunday was nothing remarkable by his standards. There was his signature slashing, acrobatic layups and the precise pick-and-rolls with Duncan. Even as far as playoff scoring goes, the game didn’t come close to cracking Parker’s top 10.

But somewhere between a preseason sit-down with Popovich and Ginobili — the fiery, competitive soul of the Spurs — and breaking his hand in January, Parker decided to become more aggressive. Popovich noticed him becoming “more demonstrative” and teammates described him as more determined. His assists shot up to a career-high 7.7 average, all while still leading the Spurs in scoring at 18.3 points per game.

Sometime around then, Parker said, is when it happened.

“It became my team,” he said.

Ginobili, who admitted to having seen Parker coast through games from time to time, said the attitude is unlike any he’s seen from Parker in their decade together.

“He’s always been a great player, don’t get me wrong,” Ginobili said. “But he took some games off after having a good week. But this year he was so steady for two months. He brought it every game. He took care of business.”

Parker, of course, has starred in this same story before.

As far back as three seasons ago, when Parker averaged a career-high 22 points, headlines about the hitting-his-prime Frenchman finally seizing the reins with Duncan in decline were common. Mavericks guard Jason Terry called Parker “the head of the snake” in their 2009 playoff series, and Erick Dampier went a step further, vowing to put him “on his back” after Parker scorched Dallas in San Antonio’s only playoff win that year.

And that’s to say nothing of Parker’s coronation in 2007 as the Finals MVP.

So what’s different now?

Popovich can point to a handful of examples. During timeouts, Parker won’t hesitate to speak over Popovich and make the huddle aware of exploitable matchups. Other times, just as Popovich is walking down the scorer’s table to signal a play, Parker will wave him off — he’s got something better in mind.

“It’s always a process, especially for someone who’s not a natural point and is a scoring point,” Popovich said earlier this month. “We always talked about a spectrum. John Stockton’s over here, and we didn’t want Tony to be the exact opposite and just scoring. We want him to come halfway toward Stockton.”

From the vantage point of Stockton’s old team, Parker has reached that desired midpoint.

“He’s seen it all,” Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said Monday. “They talk about him not being able to shoot jump shots for years, but he’s still able to get to the paint. So you have to give him different looks, have to make sure you’re determined to keep him out of the paint and do what you can.”

Parker turns 30 in May. Aside from having already won three NBA championships, all that extra effort Popovich thought Parker exerted over the summer paid off, since France qualified for the Olympics for the first time since 2000. Spurs center Boris Diaw — who has been staying in Parker’s guest house since signing in March — said the do-or-die nature of Olympic qualifying may have left an impression on his French teammate.

That lesson: Always push harder.

“Because if you don’t,” Diaw said, “maybe you’ll be done in a week.”

but tony puts up with his styles/expectations and gets motivated by pop like no other. i really wonder where they'd be at this point without each other.

MVPG cutting down the competition.

compared to all the other up-and-comers who really ain't done shit thus far.

Dude is playing out of his gourd.

Particularly amazed how he's still as efficient as he always was despite the team becoming more of "his team" in the last two years. Just a smart savvy player.

Not smart to cheat on Eva... but smart on the court.

pg position is so deep in the nba right now.

Timmy was playing dead and y'all fell for it
