He is 25 years old, and is on pace to be a sure hall a famer. What has Kidd done that is better. How about this list, Parker, Billups, Nash, Paul, Williams. Point guards manage a teams offense. Nobodys has done that better than Tony this early in their career Tony Parker takes over games, he wins championships, he plays within the system designed by his coach.

No other sport in the world has its fans speak out so riduculously without a speck of truth...hoop fans in the nba stick to their franchises thinkin their players to be the best n never recognize the talent present in other teams....its so irritatin to find so many ppl talkin shit so foolishly.... TP has been the dominant force for the spurs in the play-offs for the past three seasons.....he averages more dan any other point guard.....he may no hav the assists but tats due to the fact tat (like so many ppl abv hav said) spurs offense rotates arnd TD (n rightly so coz u cr8 offense using all ur options n minimisin the risks).... Had TP been on a bigger marketed franchise he woul def hav been hyped n glorified, but de same can b said abt Manu n TD as well.......i dun really care wat bleeps lik u say abt the spurs......dey hav been the best team for the past 10 yrs.....dey play exceptional defense n selfless offense which includes gr8 individual brilliance as well....pity dey dun hav a big market ........ It really pains me wen u ignorant fools such as juanito bast$#d post such idiotic statements ..... hav u ever played a hoop game let alone commentin on an MVP......giv TP the total floor control n he will def match CP3 in stats n more so in effectiveness.......TP doesnt hav the assist stats coz the spurs usually pass arnd the perimeter to several players b4 shootin ..... dey hav too many offensive rotational combinations ....no other team has der variety in offense....n dey use der variety which is very sensible....instead of givin the ball to one player n puttin all the pressure on him to perform day in day out (look at wat happened to nash) ....or allow tat player to ruin his teams chances (kobe pre-08)....think str8 b4 postin such idiotic comments in the future......n respect players for der talent n not coz dey come frm another country other dan america.....its high time u realise tat n correct ur narrow-mindedness... My TOP 5 -CP3,DW n TP, SN, BD....forget Kidd...hez def past his prime though he can still cr8...n nash too is in kidd's zone. Thnx for the article! I cant understand how u bleeps out der cant recognize talent wen its starin down ur big empty-headed face……..tony parker deserves to be among the top 5 PG’s in the league…..

But I am also pretty sure that teams like PHX and GS won't trade for Parker - even though they should - because of the love affair their fans have with Nash and BDiddy. Speaking strictly in terms of the present day, ignoring the humbling dimension of age, TP's probably 4th or 5th in the West. Definitely above Kidd, and possibly above Davis as well. Throw in the East 1's, Billups ranks over TP and that's about it. (Allen Iverson does not count as a point. He's an enigma, a HOF enigma) Let's be honest here, I don't like Spurs basketball either but let's give credit where credit is due. TP can ball, straight up. Don't let the hatred show your ignorance and give the man his props. PALakerfan: Factoring age, you’re right even though some people here might crucify you for such blasphemy.

Baron, when not in a contract year, is an injury waiting to happen. Nash can't defend ANYONE in the NBA. Bottom line, there are only 2 teams in the L that wouldn't consider trading their point guard for Parker - NO and UTAH. Even Detroit ponders that deal because Billups is much older than Mr. Eva.

IMHO TP sits just fine in the "just below great" PG because he lacks the most important skill as a PG, playmaking ability. I truly believe that he's supported by the system in SA, do you guys remember 2-3 years ago where he sometimes benched by Pop for making stupid passes and many other bad decision making? There is only one way to make him belong to the top tier guys, win the medal in the next olympics where he will be THE MAN for France national team Nice Thread….

I guess that speaks. he's the fourth or fifth best PG in the league, in a system that suits him really well, true, but I don't any other point guard in that system with the exception of Paul would be as efficient. Works both ways to me. I’m with you fellas. the guy is legit. last year he was SA’s most efficient, not best, player for the whole. he’s been twice an all-star, chosen by the coaches.
