Is that right?Little Known fact:
TP led the league in points in the paint in the '05 - '06 season
In the so-called prime of Kobe and Nash?
Better finisher: Prime Kyrie Irving vs Prime Tony Parker
- Thread starter 75 Others
- Start date
In the so-called prime of Kobe and Nash?
Tony Parker was one of the best scorers in the paint over a decade as a damned guard
with no jumpshot
in a league where the gameplan wasn't to spread the floor as much as possible to keep bigs away from the paint
Parker didn't need to do all that dribbling... first step was sending you straight to hell

Parker. He was converting at nearly 70% at the rim in his prime. His arsenal of spin moves, runners, floaters, and acrobatic layups was crazy. Oh, and his first step was lightning.
I expect most to say Kyrie because of aesthetic.

That's crazy to think about that huh?? a damn pg just scoring in the paint that high of a clip to lead the league. I thought he did in '07 too when they won the 'ship but I think he was like third or some shyt, impressive nontheless
Parker
Especially when you consider he didn't have a respectable jumper for a large part of his career and you knew he was going to the rim.

He might single handedly be repsonsible for the spawn of spamming PnR + spin move on the way to the basket bullshyt that made me quit playing 2kThat Tony Parker spin move was on some 2k cheese shyt

...Tony's midrange was butter breh. That's what made his drive to the basket unstoppable was that you had to come out to contest the 18 footer and he'd destroy you with his first step.2nd Bold: Tony's first step was
. He'd go from standing straight up looking for an open Finley or Bowen, to looking to Tim to see if he was open, to shoulder down, whizzing to the basket in a fukking BLINK.shyt was nasty.
Don't let Rondo change the status of the bare minimum. TP couldn't shoot for shyt for YEARS. He didn't become anything around average for a starting PG until the last third of his career imoHe might single handedly be repsonsible for the

If he was shooting Pop was looking ready to RKO his ass from the bench

it is what it is
I don't think I've ever seen Tony Parker get his layup blocked. Kyrie finesse's his way to the basket with Parker it was all speed and angles and you could never stop it. Irving will be the better overall player when it's all said and done but no point guard is seeing Tony when it comes to finishing at the basket.

Not true. Parker developed midrange and this didn't become a starting PG until the last third of his career talk is blasphemy.

Parker was a beast, I still remember what he did to Gary Payton as an 18 year old rookie in the playoffs

TP hands down...
If you look at his point in the paint and his percentages in the paint around the time he reached his prime you would think he was 7 "2" and just dunking everything he got his hands on...

Breh that series
I saw GP guard MJ and get cooked, but TP straight did something else to that nikka
At the rim TP, he was neck 2 neck with Prime Wade finishing at the hole. But if talking shooting as well, kyrie
