Duncan was top 5 his rookie year.
Was first team all-NBA and first all defense in 99.

playing the underdog card really
here's what every fakkit has been doing on this board:
- Picks the Heat to lose a given series.
- Heat win the series.
- Person who picked them to lose says, "No shyt, y'all were supposed to win! Y'all really gonna be proud of this?"
You can't have your cake and eat it, too. If you predict the heat to lose, and the heat exceed your expectations by winning, then you have no room to talk shyt.
This double-talk is evidence of the fact that you did not seriously believe in your original prediction and most likely picked the heat to lose out of spite.
so yeah, you feel like the underdog, at least in the court of popular opinion, when everyone is picking you to lose and railing against you.

There were people actually picking the Thunder last year. 
Heat in 5 or less. If it goes 6 it's only cuz they want to win it at home again.

the difference in coaching outsets Lebron's greatness to me. Plus wade isn't healthy and bosh is a woman.
I got the spurs in 6, if it goes 7 i'm going with the cheat

Yes he is. I'll take Parker's calm, efficient 53% shooting over Westbrick's chucking hero ball. I just@people still making their struggle arguments for Chris Paul being better.
People have a hard time accepting that Parker is a elite because he was just a good all-star for all these years and then elevated his game to elite status when he was about 29, which almost never happens.
He was considered by most to be second in the MVP race before he had a grade 2 ankle sprain. He's just now getting back to form. His production improved in every round of the playoffs.
And he just averaged 24.5 and 9.5 on 53% shooting against arguably the best perimeter defending team in the league including a 19 assist/1 turnover game and another 37 point game.
And he led his team to the finals as the leading scorer and assister. If he wins another finals MVP, almost everyone will consider him top 5. He's already the best PG.
Yup. Parker since 2010-2011 has played like an MVP caliber player.
Rondo gave the Heat trouble last year in the ECF and the nikka can't shoot. Parker is just as quick and plays just as well off the ball. The underestimating of Tony Parker is funny around here. It is not easy to keep him out of the paint... he gets in there at will even against great defensive teams... and the Heat don't have guys in the middle to protect the rim at first look. They do have excellent help defense from LeBron who will leap out of nowhere to block a shot.
If Westbrook and Rondo could get 40 in playoff games vs. Miami, I think Parker can too... easily.

MVP race means nothing to me after I saw Rose and Nash win MVPs because of their team records.Yes he is. I'll take Parker's calm, efficient 53% shooting over Westbrick's chucking hero ball. I just

I don't think Parker is as dominant as Westbrook can be. Defensively its not close at all. Parker is more consistent. I'll give him that.
I would put Harden over Parker too.
Parker is better at attacking the rim, but Paul does everything else better. Parker is just on the better team.
Terrible list.
Where is Dwight?
Dirk was better than Rose and Kobe who even contemplated retiring because of his knee. Neither player were top 5 that year.

If Your Knee Dont Bend It Can Be Broken
This is the most honest real statement made about this series here real spit with rollo

Fukk your corny debates
No he doesn't. Paul is a better passer and better at getting steals. Parker is better than Paul in every aspect of scoring. He's can penetrate and finish better better. He's quicker and can beat defenders with the dribble better. He's a better shooter and he has a more effective mid-range game with the teardrops and floaters in his arsenal. He scores more and shoots a higher %.
