Will Tim Duncan be finals MVP or might a flashier Tony Parker win it?

Question

Tim Duncan is the heart and soul of the Spurs and is consistent every night. Tony Parker is having great games, but is sometimes in consistent. TP is having a field day with the cav's weaker defense, but TD is who opens up opportunities for TP as well as everyone else on the spurs. TD is my pick for MVP what do you guys think?

Answer 1

I would love for TD have another MVP. For the reason that he is so consistent every night on both end. Parker wouldn't have as much success if it wasn't TD setting screen, and draw attention to Tim.

True MVP is the one that make biggest impact on the game not neccessary on the stat. For both game, Parker took more shoot, about the same assists for both game. Without TD the team don't function as well as without Parker, so MVP for TD make more sense.

Answer 2

Tony Parker might win the Finals MVP because, as you've said, he's flashier. Not only that, he's playing extremely well; and, Tim Duncan has been the Finals MVP before (three times, I think).

All things considered, to this point at least, Duncan is more deserving of the award. These are their '07 Finals numbers:

Parker: 28.5 points per game, 4.5 assists, 4 rebounds, 1.5 steals.

Duncan: 23.5 points per game, 4.5 assists, 13.5 rebounds, 2.5 blocks.

It doesn't matter to me which player wins the award ... I just want San Antonio to win the championship.

Answer 3

Parker has been scoring more and looking good while at it, but Duncan, as always, has been the bedrock of both Offense and Defense.

He anchors the defnse with his shot blocking and starts off fast breaks with his rebounding.

Offensively, he no slouch either, scoring over 20pts in both games, but most importantly, he requires so much defnsive attention that the wingmen, specially Manu and Tony have relatively easy oppurtinities.

So I'll go with Timmy winning his fourth Finals MVP.

Answer 4

I think Tony will get the Finals MVP. I think that T.P. will win it because his performance has been excellent during the entire playoffs. T.D. is great and very consistent, but I think Parker has surpassed himself and that earn him the MVP. In other words Duncan will not get the MVP because he doing what he always does, Tony will win the MVP because he has elevated his game. I however want Duncan to win MVP, but I don't think this will happen.

Answer 5

Duncan might be the MVP for the year but if you're judging just on the basis of the finals, I'd have to go with Parker.

Answer 6

Who knows, the offense runs via Parker yet while they play Miami then they're going to could disclose Miami's weak spot in the paint so Duncan could pass off, in the event that they play the Pacers then Duncan could have his palms complete managing West and Hibbert, likely in that issue Parker and Ginobli will could take over.

Answer 7

Tim will be the MVP he is the one that wins the games.
Parker is just scoring because Duncan draws the attention
of the bigmen and opens the floor for him and Manu.
Tim will win the MVP.

Answer 8

tony parker really showed this season that he's become one of the better point guards in the league right now. and if the spurs keep playing like this, i think people will be likely to vote for tony. but i dont think that tony will keep up this frenetic pace and eventually it'll show that this is still duncan's team and his all around game of points, rebounds, blocks and to a smaller extent, even assists, his leadership and poise. this is duncan's trophy to lose.

Answer 9

I think it will got to Tony Parker.

Duncan is their consistent rock in the middle, but judging on the finals alone, Parker has been the star, thusfar.

Answer 10

if the finals ended after game 2, then tony parker should be the MVP. It depends on their respective performances during the succeeding games
