I know the Spurs in general are one of the most underrated franchises of all time, but damn. Parker's game is nice, he is MVP and 3 time nba champion, but we barely hear anything much. Brandon Jennings gets more love/hate or disseciton of his game than Parker :bryan:

1. He was all star status but not elite until he was about 29, and it's rare for an NBA player to improve to elite status that late, so it's hard for people to accept.

2. He played under a prime Duncan for so many years, people are used to him being 2nd or 3rd fiddle.

3. He doesn't dunk.

4. He's French.

5. He's mulatto.

because he's boring

you clearly dont watch TP play.

to answer the question though, he's not really under rated, people know how good TP is but they also see guys who are more explosive at the point guard position. So in that case he gets kinda overlooked

no dude is mad boring, just like the whole team has been since like 2003, even when they won the title, nobody really gave a fukk, with their basic ass jerseys, their "fundamental" basketball, they are just not exciting to watch

That's one of the worst misconceptions that the Spurs have had over the years.
